I remember being 5 years old and walking into Disneyland park with my parents and grandparents.

Right beyond the gates was Snow White. I thought she was the most beautiful thing I had ever laid eyes on.
Of course, it was a photo op for my parents and grandparents, little Coventina had to pose with Snow White!

I was mortally embarrassed! I felt grubby and awkward next to this gorgeous being. But of course she was Snow White, gentle and loving and ever so sweet.

I still have the pictures, and remember what a magical day that was.
My grandfather would die of a massive heart attack a few months later.

People like to mock and dismiss the Disney experience, but at its best it really is magical.

It is to help a child, an elderly person, a sick person, someone disabled, and help them cope with the world we live in. Make their lives better, even if it is just for a few minutes.

This is something the Stephen Miller, trump, Jr., and Ivanka don't understand.

So sweet. We humans can be so awful sometimes, but then there are people that do things like this...

Beautiful.

handicap. I have a handicapped daughter and was so utterly proud of the friends of my sons who were nice to her and treated her well. Casey, Josh etc I will love them forever and their mothers should be proud.

He ran up to her in his Indiana Jones outfit (he always wore it to Disneyland, LOL). She was so sweet to him. She reached down to her tail and pulled off a shimmering blue-green sequin. You'd have thought she handed him a million dollars. We have the cutest picture of the two of them, our little Indiana Jones proudly holding his sequin, like he had found the Golden Chalice. God bless that sweet woman for that wonderful memory.
