Making our own magic

[The Hendies]

We all feel special when a magical moment happens to us at Disney, but our family has tried to make magical moments for others. Five years ago when I was in the World for my birthday, I was amazed by the number of CMs and even guest who wished me Happy Birthday by name because my name was on my pin. When we went back I brought silver dollars with me. When a cast member bestowed something special on me for my BD, I gave them a silver dollar. I loved making someone else's day! How about you? Any hints on how to make someones day?

Before we leave a park for our afternoon resort/swim break, I always get a set of 4 FastPasses & we give them to a family that we see entering the park, as we are on our way out. They are always so appreciative!!!

My DH and I are going in Dec. and since we have no little ones with us our sons are grown we are planning on taking alot of glow sticks and Disney related little items we found at our Dollar Stores to hand out to children(after asking the parents first of course).

I love this idea! I have always given any I didn't use away, but I love the idea of picking some up intentionally to give away as I am leaving.

Great idea. We will be doing that on our trip ni 2009.

People did this to Adam and me three times when we were there. It was really awesome!

We have done the glow sticks also. I have my super shy daughter go and offer them to other kids - helps her to talk to people. I started doing this when we saw other kids look at our kids with glow sticks and seem to wish they had them. Made me feel bad, since you can often get a pack of about a dozen or more for a dollar at Dollar Tree.

I like them after dark, as it makes the kids (and the stroller when they were younger) a bit more visible for us!

I like the fastpass idea!
