I know it’s not Thursday, our usual day for Random Acts of Kindness, but my Cast Member friend Michael sent me another wonderful story, and I didn’t want to wait to share it with you. Michael is a CM at the Magic Kingdom, and works with some of our favorite characters. Here’s what he had to say~
“It was my first set with Prince Ali and Princess Jasmine to start my day. I had cleared the line when a Princess came up to me and asked if she could see Princess Jasmine. Her mom was wearing a CELEBRATING button, which read “ONE YEAR CANCER FREE”. So I looked at the line and my watch, I then said to the young Princess just stand by me. I then took a brief moment and told Prince Aladdin of the situation. So I escorted them to the exit of their meet and greet. They were the very last ones Prince Aladdin and Princess Jasmine would see before heading to a meeting with the Genie. As Prince Aladdin came over, he looked on and we set sail to have the CANCER FREE PRINCESS and her little Princess FLY on the MAGICAL CARPET! The mom in tears, the little Princess smiled so BRIGHT it lit up the sky like a RAINBOW! As they got off the ride, and Prince Aladdin and Princess Jasmine said goodbye, I watched the Mom and daughter walk off holding hands and the little Princess yelled, “THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!” As I walked in to clear the tears in my eyes, a guest came over to me and said “I watched the whole thing, and that was simply awesome! Best thing I ever witnessed”. As he gave me a fist bump. I’m truly BLESSED to work with such a MAGICAL CAST!” ~Michael Signorello
Cast Members like my pal Michael take those extra steps to ensure that a little bit of Magic goes a long, long way! It only takes a small act of kindness to make someones day! Thanks so much Michael for sharing another story with me, so I could pass it on to our Main Streeters!

This is exactly WHY we repeatedly scrape together pennies to make that magical trip happen. Yes they are random but it is these little extra touches that make memorable moments that are never forgotten.
I love that Disney has CM’s like Michael. He is truely one of the best. okay I can’t see to type anymore because of my blubbering.
