It was my 9 year old dd's first ride on the Haunted Mansion and she was a little scared. CM Kat could tell and she talked her and explained how the ride worked and that there was nothing to be scared of. It made her feel much better and and she ended up loving it and wanting to go again. Kat saw us exit and she asked how it went. Then put out her fists and said pick one. DD chose and she opened her hand and there was a little Stitch pin that she proudly put on dd and said it was for her bravery. It was pretty amazing because Stitch is her all time favorite. Just wanted to say THANK YOU Kat!! I have to say I was a little dissapointed with some of the CM's I came across on our trip just really being cranky. Kat showed us some of that Disney Magic that we know and love.
DD did ride 3 more times and laughed and smiled all the way through.
