What you give, you receive 10, 100, 1,000,000 - fold.

Blessings to you!

This is a wonderful post. I've found kindness in the parks and resorts is absolutely the greatest thing to pack. When I was in college I lived less then 15 minutes away from the parks and would ride in to do my homework because as a poor college student I couldn't afford air conditioning or heat and my parents had bought me an annual pass. I found myself talking to people from all over the world as I sat at a table writing papers and taking notes. I also found out stories from cast members. There was a janitor named Frank frequently working in Fantasyland who had worked in the park since opening day. He had even known my uncle when he was a welder working on the monorail. He had the best information about the park.

Do good. Be good. And enjoy.

I want this on a bumper sticker!

BRAVO! STANDING OVATION!

I totally agree with this. I try very hard to behave like that in the parks, although it's not always easy. My daughter has been going to DL since she was 1 and she's been trained that every time she sees someone wearing a birthday button, she says "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" to them. It doesn't cost anything, it doesn't take much effort, just to be nice to people.

I once dropped a $20 while getting an old-school FP and a teenager tapped me on the shoulder and handed it to me. We always hear about the negative guest interactions at Disney but there are many positive ones.

I hereby solemnly swear to pack my politeness and my kindness when we hit WDW in 15 days!

Yes... it's better to be kind than to be "right"

Kindness is indeed contagious!

This makes my heart smile.

Thank you for turning that money in. Even if the CM's pocketed it. YOU did the right thing. I found 100.00 at Wal-mart once, Turned it in and no one claimed it. I got called back to come pick it up.

Our first trip is in a few weeks. Thank you for showing me that many of the "hidden gems" at WDW can be found in the people you meet.

But not just at Disney World, I like to pay for car behind me in the toll plaza every so often with the message for the person to have a nice day! Pass it on you never know when someone just needs a reminder of a simple gesture to pass it on to the next person. Just a thought!

Lovely post
I agree you can make a choice to let people who are being rude really rile you up or you can choose to brush it off and continue enjoying your day.

I have read on a blog recently if you are being referred to as a treasured guest it means your being a **** and the other staffed are being warned about you.
