Where Dreams come True

This past week two things have happened that really prove the point that Disney is where dreams come true and anything can happen..that basically it's a magical place! One I was apart of..the other I just heard about.
The first one happened on Monday. I was working Main Street as everyone is aware of and the park didnt close till 12 that night, meaning Main Street didn't close till 1. It was about 12:30 and hardly anyone was in the store I was in. So a group of cast members was sitting around talking about the normal stuff...who is each others favorite Princesses. A lady (maybe in 50's) walked in and one of the cast members was like oh whats your input. You know..engaging the guest and all. So once we get her talking we find out that midnight marked the beginning of her birthday so we sang Happy Birthday to her. Then the news came out....she was here for her birthday all by herself-she didnt have any family. And she didnt have a magical night that far..so she told  us she wasnt going to come back to Magic Kingdom but we had completely turned everything around and that she will never forget us wonderful cast members. It was a pretty neat experience just saying-glad I could be apart of it.
Then yesterday at the end of the night meeting a cast member shared a story of what happened that day. (still Main Street. Last day working there though). Anyway so he said he was talking to a family and found out the little boy didnt believe in Mickey Mouse. Well thats just not acceptable obviously. So he asked if he had met Mickey yet and the little boy was like well no. Well lucky for the cast member we work connected to the building where you meet Mickey. So this cast member took the family straight to Mickey-VIP status man, forget the line. He told some other cast members the situation so as they went on their way cast members were telling the little boy how Mickey said he was coming and all that fun stuff. Anyway so the cast member waited at the door for when the family was done meeting Mickey. I guess the little boy came out with a huge grin on his face and when the cast member asked if he believed in Mickey now the little boy definitely did.
Seriously...creating moments and memories like this. My job is pretty great!
