I'm not sure exactly how to get this to the correct person so the CM knows exactly how much she meant to us, but if any CMs know the one I'm talking about, please, please tell her thank you for me!!!
Our family has been to WDW many, many times. We usually take some of DD17's or DS18's BFFs with us. This time, it was me, DD17, and two of her BFFs. One of them goes every time we go because this is the only place that has "rides" attractions that she can go on without being totally sick. One has never been before and didn't really have the money to go then. For the BFFs, I paid their way and told them it was their birthday presents since they were coming up really soon. This worked and they both got to enjoy the trip!!
On 9/28, we went to MNSSHP. It was not crowded and we were having a blast. We went on many attractions including doing Space Mountain 8 times without waiting longer than 5 minutes, etc. This group of 17 year olds had the time of their lives!!! They danced at the dance parties, skipped down Main Street, had their pictures made with the characters, and in general, just enjoyed being themselves not worrying about what others were thinking like is usual for a 17 year old.
We went on the HM twice and both times, it was better than expected due to one individual. She was in the first room you come to and went with us to the stretching room. The first time we were in there, she stepped around the corner about the time the girls came into the room, making them all jump.
The new WDW-addict (she is now!!!) we took with us, was very jumpy then considering the music and the room being almost dark. She kept watching the CM and the CM knew she was jumpy which made it all the better!! The CM was standing behind the BFF and I looked at her and smiled. I then reached over and touched the BFF's shoulder on the other side and when she turned around, she saw the CM. I think she scared everyone in the room when she screamed!!! 
We made it through the HM that time and right before midnight we went back. We were the only ones in there and the CM greeted us again. BFF grabbed DD and was hiding behind her, moving around in a circle keeping DD between her and the CM. When the CM spoke, BFF eyes got really big! She was doing good until the part where the lights go out in the stretching room and then they flicker back on. When the lights flickered, the CM was right in front of her and she screamed and jumped all over DD and the other BFF!!! 
It was all we could do to walk out of the room, but we had to keep up with BFF who was GONE!!!! She had took off to the next section to get out of there!!!
To this awesome CM, thank you so much for making a great memory for all of us and making it a day we will never forget!!! HM is such an awesome attraction and your actions just made it more special. She talked about the first encounter all night long until we went back the second time!! DD and the other BFF are still giving her a hard time about it and if the park wouldn't have been closing, she would have gone back to do it again!!!
Again, thank you for making it truly a magical first experience for her!!!
