The recent show segment about manners has had me thinking about the times when we have experienced acts of kindness by strangers and cast members in WDW and about the little things we enjoy doing for others there. We have received and given unused fastpasses (no longer an option, I know), let someone else go first, given up a seat on the bus or amused a cranky child on the bus, congratulated guests wearing buttons, given our pool noodles away at the end of our trip, etc. One of the first things we loved about WDW was that everyone seemed so happy and friendly. I think we've seen a change in that in recent years. It's another example of how the prevailing culture of the "outside" world has crept into our Disney experience (cue my rant about Starbucks replacing Main Street Bakery).
So, thinking about the impact Dis'ers can make (evidenced by the funds that have been raised for GKTW), I had the idea for a "Random Acts of Disney Kindness" campaign. What if everyone here on the boards made a conscious effort to do small kindnesses for strangers in the world and spread the word here on the boards? I wonder if we could "be the change we wish to see in the world" and make a dent in the culture of "I paid my money, so I'm entitled to everything I can get and I can behave however I want."
What are your ideas for little acts of kindness we could do?pixiedust:
 
I think this is a great idea.
Personally I make it a point to give at least 1 sincere compliment to a stranger everyday.
 
I think this is a great idea! My husband and I will give out CM appreciation cards most years we go. This year I'm thinking about making little cards for kids who are behaving well. Maybe with a sticker or something included. Seeing how some kids (with their parents approval/or lack of care) seem to misbehave, push ahead, scream at each other, swing on ropes, kick backs of seats, etc it makes me appreciate the kids that do behave nicely more. so maybe a little token of appreciation might be fun.

Another little thing we do is when we go to CRT we give away our wands/swords to kids outside the restaurant.
