Walt Disney World (which from here on in will be WDW) is known for magical moments. There are thousands that happen with your own families, and some that are planned by the cast members (Disney employees).
Tonight I got to photograph an official Disney planned Magical Moment. See, at the end of the night, at Character Spot (in Epcot), the last family through may get to see all five characters (Mickey, Pluto, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy) at the same time. Normally, you wait in line just to see each of them separately. Tonight the last family was a newly wed couple. They were just so excited and they told me it had made their entire trip!
Even though I didn't get to see it, I was told about a Magical Moment that happened at Magic Kingdom at the Town Square Theater with Mickey and Minnie. A father just got home from Iraq. His wife and children did not know he had returned to the States..... I'm sure you can see where this is heading.... The theme in the Mickey room at Town Square Theater is Mickey the Magician. "Do you guys want to see some magic?" Oh to be in that room!!!
Last night, though it was not an official planned magical moment, I thoroughly enjoyed myself with little girl who was deathly afraid of Pluto.
You tend to get many kids that are afraid of the characters- some parents let them be and just pass on. Others force them to get closer.
Last night, I was the one that talked this little girl into getting closer to Pluto. At first she would barely get close enough to touch his nose. I asked her to stand right there so I could get a picture of her with Pluto. Slowly I got her to actually touch his nose. Scratch his muzzle. He's such a good dog, isn't he? Yeah! He likes that. Finally we worked our way- all the way- to a hug! She was such a cutie!
That's it for this post! Have a Magical Day!!!
