We just returned from our first trip at WDW and I wanted to share just a few magical moments from our trip.
On our first morning, we went to AK for an 8 am ps for Donald's Breakfast and when we walked into the park, a CM walked up to my ds9 and dd4 and said she found 2 lucky dimes and gave one to them. They were so excited. This is one of those little things that really means alot, especially to young children.
One evening we stayed late at MK and when we got on the bus, it was standing room only. But we were grateful to catch the bus. My dh and ds4 were in the restrooms and I saw that the AKL bus was waiting. So I spoke loudly to my dh to hurry or we would miss our bus. There was a CM walking by and she asked what bus we needed. She picked up her radio and asked the bus to wait for our family. We ran to the bus and it was full (no problem because we were thrilled not having to wait for another bus).
My dh was holding dd4 and I was holding ds4 and my ds9 was leaning against me. After about 5 minutes, a very kind man came up to me and said there was a seat at the back of the bus for me. I was so grateful, but I felt so bad because the space didn't have room for my ds9. So I asked my ds9 if he would be okay standing by dad and he said yes. So I took the seat. Once I got settled in, I looked up and my dh was also sitting and had both children on his lap and a very kind lady was standing. I know this lady saw how that it was hard for me to take a seat and leave my dh, ds4, and ds9 standing. I sat in my seat and tears just started rolling down my face. We didn't expect anyone to give up their seat because we were last ones on the bus and we knew that there was a chance we would have to stand and were fine with that.
But all three of our children fell asleep on the bus and it was such a peaceful ride back to AKL. I am SO GRATEFUL to those kind people who gave up their seat.
So, I reciprocated the kindess the next night. A family was standing and their dd4 was very tired. My dd4 was on my lap, but I told the mom that her daughter could sit on my lap also. The mom seemed surprised and asked if I could hold 2 children. After I told her I have twins, she was so thankful, but I was so glad to help out. She kept thanking me for holding her dd for the bus ride.
I can't mention all of the kindness that was extended to us, but I was so impressed with the CM's and tourists. It was amazing and we want to go back so much.
