On the opposite spectrum, a friend and I went to DL years back and got there crazy early (cause, um, someone, who am I kidding? we all know it was me) was too excited to stay asleep. We didn't have a reservation, but since the gate was only open to folks headed to breakfast with Minnie at the Plaza, we got walk up reservations just to get in the park early. They CMs at the gate thought we were really funny (my bouncing probably gave it away) and gave us free mickey ear balloons.
The novelty of the balloons quickly wore off so we looked for unattended strollers to tie them to, then got a table where we could see the strollers. When the family came out, they were all surprised smiles and the kids were so happy. Made my friend and I feel so happy to have made those kids happy. Now the family would have no trouble finding their strollers.
That reminded me of something, I think I had posted it elsewhere a long time ago, but this is relevant.
In February 2012, we went to WDW, and we had a couple of friends from Jacksonville meet us there. Well one of their fathers was a CM so they go all the time. And what one of them does it go to eBay or places like that and get bulk sets of pins.. and when he sees a kid is having a birthday or a first visit, he gives them a pin, and of course he has plenty of pins to trade for as well.
Soon after we had gotten back in 2012, I got some bulk pins to get ready for the next trip. Unfortunately due to some very sad circumstances, our annual trip to Disney did not happen this February. So I have had the pins over a year now, waiting to get back. Thankfully, it looks like we will be going for our 10th anniversary in October, so I hope to spread a little bit of magic then.
