If you were at the D23 and stayed until the end of the Disney Parks and Resorts presentation, there was a beautiful story shared by Bob Chapek, president of Disney Parks and Resorts. Bob gave a speech and near the end of his speech a cast member took the stage to read part of a letter. The letter was written to Disney management about two Disney cast members and a little boy and a green balloon. So after you read this story and you see a green balloon at Disneyland, think of a little boy named Trey who has a difficult time in big crowds.
Also think about all the other children, or even adults who may be like Trey who has a hard time in large crowds and does their best to make it through the day in places like Disney. You don’t have to be a cast member to make a difference. It’s about being kind, and giving a little magic to someone else. Paying it forward or just giving someone a smile. We get too caught up in our own lives and rushing around to take in the moment or notice others. This is actually something I am working hard to teach my children about this summer. Notice others. Be kind. Think of others. Make a difference.
