Last week we were just walking down the street at Disney-Mgm when a CM came up to us and talked to my granddaughter - age 5. She asked her 'who her favorite character was' fully expecting her to name one of the Disney Princesses, but DGD says 'Lightning McQueen and Mater!!!!! The CM was a bit taken back and said, 'well I have never had one like this, but let me see what I can do.' We waited while she made a few phone calls and then she came back and said that if we were at a door by Star Tours at 4:15PM we would have a private Meet & Greet with Lightning and Mater!!! True to her word, at 4:15 she took us 'behind scenes' and there were Lightning, Mater, and the pit crew all lined up! My granddaughter is very very shy, but her eyes just POPPED! She got to touch them, hug the cars and have her picture taken. My eyes teared up seeing how taken she was by the experience. The CM then gave her a certificate making her an honorary junior pit crew member! It all took about 5 or 10 minutes, but it MADE the whole trip for that little girl! When we left she looked at her certificate and said, 'I'm taking this to preschool, then the other kids HAVE to believe me when I tell them about Lightning and show them the pictures and certificate!'
Sure the magnificent prizes of cruises, night at the Castle, DVC memberships would bowl me over, but the look on that little girls face and the stories she tells several days later, mean more to her than ANYTHING else could have done! My grateful thanks to the CM, pit crew and others who made this magical moment for such a shy, sweet little girl!
