I wish I'd caught her name...

but, I wanted to say thanks to the CM at a souvenir stand in Toontown (didn't even notice what was being sold) who helped my four year old forget why she was crying in late January, on our last trip. You traded her tears for some Mickey stickers, which she then used to decorate her jeans, completely forgetting about what she was upset about. Thanks!

No more tears!

I too wish we would have remembered the name of a CM who helped us one evening at MK. My DD requires the use of Oxygen, she was 5yrs old at this visit. It had been a long day. DM returned our stroller and we (DD age 11, DM, DDage5 and myself) were no left with the task of exiting the park with backpacks, tired children, and oxygen. And you guessed it ...it started to rain. Rain and a battery powered oxygen concentrator don't mix well. I asked if there were any courtsey wheelchairs we could use to make it to the long long walk to the bus to POP. There were none left as it was very late. We headed on out of the park with DD crying as I carried her and the backpack while other DD walked along side pushing the oxygen. DM has double knee replacements and walks behind us frequently. Long story short this "senior aged" CM ran up to us and gave my DD a Tinkerbell pin, and told her it was a special one of hers. The tears stopped and so did the rain. It made the long walk to the bus bearable and the trip priceless. This year we are taking DH along and staying at Poly to hopefully avoid some of those long walks and waits on the busses. I didn't catch that CM's name but will never forget her face. If we see her again she will definately get a hug from my DD.
