CM in Shop on Main Street

[thefigueroas]

I didn't realize that we had this here so the one I want to thank is from last year. My six year old is very "mature" for his age (or thinks he is) and during our last trip for MNSSHP had become somewhat cynical and jaded. Well, on the way out of MNSSHP I wanted to buy one of the souvenir plush Mickeys they sell to commemorate the event (I collect them). Anyhow, we stopped in one of the shops on Main Street and my then "too cool for WDW" son chose a plush Fantasia Mickey to purchase as well, "for a friend". Well, when we checked out the CM asked my son if he believed in magic. My son being my son said "Not really". The CM said "Too bad, because I could have shown you something really cool." Well, that was all it took. The CM explained to him that he needed him to REALLY believe and that something cool would happen to that Mickey. Do you know that he made it "talk". I swear to you, his mouth did not move and there was no way that you could tell that he had done it. My son was dumbfounded and amazed. He left out of there with his mouth open and stars in his eyes.

To that CM,
The reason that I wanted to write this is because of that one small gift of kindness and attention, my son has become a kid again. He now believes in magic and is not in such a hurry to grow up. I want to thank you for all you did. I am sorry I can not thank you by name but you really changed a little boy's life and he still talks about it even now over a year later. People like you are the reason that my family considers Walt Disney World as our vacation of choice. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
