Pixie Dust from Dumbo

Favorite Vacation Moment

Walt Disney World

When we were in the Magic Kingdom earlier this year my 2yrold daughter lost her favorite Ariel sunglasses while we were riding Dumbo. She had been wearing them when we got on and once we got off they were gone, but we didn't realize it until a few minutes after the ride was over.

I went back and asked one of the cast members if she could check and see if the glasses were still on the yellow Dumbo (the color we had ridden on). She happily agreed and checked once the current passengers had exited. They weren't there and she apologized. Then she asked me a couple questions about the glasses and about how much my daughter liked them. When I said they were her favorites she asked me to hang on a second. Soon after she handed me a piece of paper that would act as a gift card for one pair of sunglasses priced up to $25.

My daughter's glasses were only $10 and we found some identical to them straight away at a nearby stand. It was a really sweet moment to able to replace her favorite sunglasses with a little bit of pixie dust from a caring cast member.
