Oh wow, I never cry yet...

here I am blubbering in front of my computer screen. Disney is just so amazing, don't you agree?

Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is known world-wide for its celebration of dreams come true. But thanks to the efforts of the Cast Members at the Walt Disney World parks, the Magic Kingdom has become a place where the magic is real.

Take, for example, the story of Ben, a Magic Kingdom guest who has ridden “Snow White’s Scary Adventures” over one thousand times. Here are the words of his father to recount how the Walt Disney World Cast helped bring magic into Ben’s life...

The whole story of Ben's 1000th Ride on Snow White

Have the tissues handy!

Excellent story! These are the types of stories that reminds me why I go to WDW trip after trip after trip. It's nice to know someone cares and has a big, big heart.

Holy Cow...that's one of the greatest things I"ve ever read.

I love Disney.

Wow, I made it through the whole story without crying. Then when I went to tell the story to my DH....thats when I broke.

I seem to remember a few years ago there was a woman who had taken her.........500th (not sure if that number is right) ride on Tower of Terror and the CM's I think gave her a party. I'll have to see if I can find the story.

 

[gshoemate]

Well, I couldn't get the whole story because it's so old they charge for it but the headline was:

The March 3rd Orlando Sentinel focuses on 76-year-old retired schoolteacher Harriet Williams who celebrated her 500th ride on Tower of Terror.

And this is why we all love Disney

Thanks for sharing. I'm glad I found this thread.
It did make me think of one time when we were in line at Test Track behind a woman with a teenage son with autism. She explained that their routine included a last ride on Test Track every time before leaving the park - which she said sometimes got rather interesting because of Test Track's frequent breakdowns.

Wow! As the mom of a son with autism I can imagine the joy of the father in watching his son, as well as the royal treatment for Ben. Big time tears here!

I was lurking over at wdwmagic when that whole 1,000th ride thing was going on. That was some real Magic. It took lots of thoughtful people. I remember crying (40 year old guy here ) as Ben's father was posting updates

One of the best Disney stories ever, and there are so many. Thanks for putting up again, Allsion. I recall the story from a few months back also, and then the video, about 10 minutes long was up. Too much bandwidth used and he had to take it off. It was amazing. The lead up, the whole ride, with them, and then after.

 

[Hermosa11]

Allison, yes, thanks so much for sharing. I had tears reading it.
Soooo sweet. Just the best.

 

[calypso*a*go-go]
