Magical Memories

As many of you know I work at the happiest place and we are encouraged to make these things that disney calls Magic Memories. Basically, it's when you do something for a guest that they did not expect. usually it's happens when you give them a plush or give them some "fastpasses" to help them out with thier day. But sometimes a Magic Memory can mean as much to you as it does to the guest.
Today I met a little 4 year old girl name Gina (name has been changed). She was so sweet and she was there celebrating her 5th birthday that would be coming up in a week or so. I decided to search through some books that we have for guests to look at and give her one. I found the perfect book it was called, Ms. batsy's Kindergarten. I walked up to her with the book in my hand and sat down next to her. I told her that since was going to be turning 5, she would probably be going into kindergarten soon and I wanted her to not be afraid. She said thank you (like all little girls do) and she told me that she wanted to turn off the t.v that she was watching and read it now. I asked her if she would like me to ask her mom to read it to her, she nodded her head "No."
I asked her if she wanted her aunt to read it to her.
She said, "No'
Well, " i said, "who would you like to read it to you then?"
she looked at me shyly and pointed to me.
I was slightly taken a back, but how could I say no to this sweet princess. we read the story while her mother watched us with a big grin on her face. I could tell, that like me, she wanted to remember this tender moment.
After, we finished the story Gina came up to me and asked me to sign her book. can you imagine me, signing a little girls book. I'm going to be part of her memories of disneyland.

I love Magical moments like these they remind me why life is worth living.
People say that everyone anymore is out for number one, most of the time that might be true.
but I think that maybe all the world needs is a few more magical moments to remind us , that there is hope, and how powerful one kind moment can be. So, anyone that is out there reading this (bob) go out and make a magical moment for someone else. Let them know that you were thinking of them. Share a little love...there's a song in there I know it.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Grand Californian Stay

So, back in March Tiffany and I got to stay in the Grand Californian Hotel-where she works-because she had won a contest. It was awesome! They upgraded us to one of their presidential suites, and treated us like royalty! Besides being huge, having its own kitchen, and three or four bathrooms, an office, a huge TV, a patio with a view of California Adventure, it was awesome in every sense of the word to boot!

Enjoy!
