Who's a good planner? Me!
Cute picture!! Gold star for planning!!
I looked up and was delighted to see Eddie Valiant’s office above us.
I never noticed that before!!
She mentioned "headband" while Sophia was there and only after she left did I understand that she wanted to show Sophia HER headband. I let her hold it and she waved it at Sophia as she made the rounds at the other tables. When Sophia passed by on the way to another table, DD waved the headband so enthusiastically that Sophia stopped again and played with DD for a minute. My heart swelled. DD was so earnest and Sophia was so generous with her time.
That is so sweet. Love it when the characters spend extra time with those kids who really like them.
Meanwhile, we saw the table next to us get cupcakes and birthday cards signed by all the characters. I tried to add DD’s birthday to our reservation through the Disney app, but it didn’t look like it was an option. DH flagged down our server to tell her and she got someone else to help too. A father at a nearby table said he had to call the dining reservation hotline to get his daughter’s birthday noted on their reservations. The cast member that stopped to help was fantastic! She asked about our other reservations and said she would reach out to them. Since today was our first day, I scrolled through our plans and said there were a lot. She was unphased. She took down my name and DD's name and went to work. A bit later she came back and said she was able to reach out to all our reservations and told them about the birthday. We thanked her profusely.
That's great service!! Love it when you get someone that gives you that extra pixie dust!
