Something similar that I do is offer a front row parade spot to someone with a small child. It bugs me how many grown ups will stand right in front of some little kid, blocking the view, instead of letting the kid have the front spot. It used to happen to my kids quite a bit when they were little, so I remember how frustrating it could be.

We had a guy walk right in front of a bunch of kids (Including mine) and stand there the hole time during Spectromagic. I was so angry because this guy had no children. At least then I would have not been so angry. I swear some people do the exact opposite of what we are talking about here on purporse.

Now I'm a pretty tall guy and not real skinny and I got down on the ground in the heat so other people could see during a parade in May.

I'd say anytime you do something considerate while in WDW, you're paying it forward. For example, holding a door open for someone else, giving up a seat on the bus or monorail, or just smiling and speaking to those you encounter. For some reason, WDW seems to allow people to leave their cares behind and take in the magic. Anytime you do something small like the things mentioned, you're paying it forward and helping to spread that magic.

I agree completely. Even offering to take a picture for a couple or a family when you see them taking pictures of eachother. To be honest I think that is one of the nicest things you can do for people on vacation. When they're looking back in their albums and are able to see pictures together instead of always having one person missing from their memories can be very important. I know it always warms my heart when someone take a picture for Jen and I. And I'm sure when the day comes that we take our children to Disney World, it'll be even more important to us.
