I am obsessed with The Little Mermaid. Usually at the parks at least once every week with my fiance. Oh and Momma to be in March 2013!

Okay, so earlier today just before Disneyland had closed Matt and I were in line for Peter Pan. While in line, a young girl(about 11 or 12) was talking to her mom and gestured to my lanyard filled with pins. I then chimed in and told her more about pin trading and could tell she was interested in pins more than she was sharing with her mom. I then went through my traders and picked a duplicate mic More...
Great story. It reminds me when we went on vacation to DL back in August. We love pin trading and stopped by Big Thunder Ranch to check out the trading boards/books. There I noticed a young man by the name of Justin who was with the Kids of Courage organization. I noticed that he kept looking at my lanyard and all my pins that I had. The caregiver with him said "oh he likes your pins". I asked does Justin have pins to trade?.. he said yes but not as many as you have. So I asked "justin would you like some pins so that you can continue trading?" He said "yes".. So I pulled out a ziplock baggy of a bunch of pins that my son and I were going to trade on our trip. My son says mom give him the whole bag. So I gave it to Justin. His reply was "oh WOW all these for ME?" I said yes they are all yours.. Enjoy and trade them. I was surprised when he stood up out of his wheelchair and walked a few steps towards me and hugged me. He said "Thank you so much". It was so very touching to be able to pass on my pins to someone who could really appreciate them. Made our vacation that much better to know we passed on some disney magic to someone else. Brought tears to my eyes when he hugged me because I wasnt expecting it. - flores509

I love your story! My favorite part was when your son chimed in and said to give the whole bag! Bravo! - SammyJo 348.7 #415 2:12PM
Thanks SammyJo.. I love your story as well.. Way to pass on some of the Disney magic.. Kudos to you!! =) It makes me feel so great to be part of such a loving and caring community such as MW.. I love to hear stories and also share stories... I wasnt trying to one up you, promise... Just made me remember our last trip to DL. As for my son, he is 12 and loves pin trading.. I was so happy when he decided he wanted to give his pins to Justin. It really made my sons day. He said mom that is what disney magic is all about. I have more pins at the hotel. I want justin to have these pins. - flores509 200.3 #1624 2:24PM
Omg I'm crying. This is an amazing story! Thank you for your beautiful heart, and it makes me happy that your son is following in your footsteps. - ladylikesdisney 921.5 #95 2:27PM
no way did I see you sharing about your story as one-uping mine. I am so happy you shared yours! I love having these moments and knowing I'm not the only one who does the same thing! You are definitely raising your son right and I hope my little bum in the oven would react the same way as your son! - SammyJo 348.7 #415 2:30PM
Love stuff like this! My 9 year old and I try to do something nice for a stranger every trip. I want her to realize how lucky we are to be AP's and go whenever we want, and that some people save for years to go once. - cinderelli

Oh they do, it's just at a different type of store. - madsdad 1123.4 #73 1:33PM
and probably not the best choice to wear at a Disney Halloween party, could get a bit drafty - GoofyMom77 108.6 #2922 1:48PM
kinda like that snow white from last year! - SammyJo 348.7 #415 4:30PM
Something tells me that a few adults or teens will try to get away with wearing a girls XL or something 😂 - Spoonful_O_Sugar 435.8 #283 4:35PM

One of my dear friends that is a CM pointed out in the Sorcerer's Workshop this hidden gem. If you look closely on the wall on the left you will see these and it spells out Walt & Roy. Just had to share :)
But we know that CMs don't know anything.

What is this Kennel you speak of i wanna go play with puppies! - BooEve123
800.3 #115 5:23PM
one at DL, is my guess - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1781.4 #42 5:23PM
I may be mistaken but I believe you can only go in if someone in your party has a pet in the kennel. it is located to the right of the entrance to dl by the place to rent out dl strollers. - SammyJo 348.7 #415 5:28PM
BooEve, one of these days I will bring one of my " kids" to the kennel, and you can play with him or her! - Gia 782.1 #119 5:42PM
You're right Sammy. They're REALLY strict. Even though the woman knew us by the end of our trip last time, we had to show our slip every time we went in - KylaShea 533.2 #214 5:44PM
