A mom recently shared a heartwarming experience she had at Disney World, praising a cast member’s thoughtful gesture that made her daughter’s visit truly unforgettable.
Lindsay Carroll Chupp recounted the sweet moment in the comments of a Facebook post from the popular Disney blog AllEars.Net, which regularly celebrates the contributions of cast members, calling them the true “magic-makers” of the parks.
A Magical Encounter to Remember
- A guest at Disney World shared her daughter’s heartfelt moment with a cast member.
- The encounter was arranged after the little girl missed meeting Princess Elena of Avalor twice.
- The mom shared on Facebook how emotional the experience was as her daughter adores Princess Elena.
Chupp explained that her five-year-old daughter was “obsessed” with Princess Elena from the 2016 Disney movie Elena and the Secret of Avalor. The family spent two days in Magic Kingdom hopeful for a chance to meet her and snap a picture.
On the first day in Magic Kingdom, Chupp’s family waited in line to meet Elena, only to find she wasn’t there. They did see other princesses, but were still optimistic about returning the next day. However, on the second day, they had no luck as well when the princess was absent in the Fairytale Hall, despite seeing her image displayed outside.
Feeling determined, Chupp approached a cast member to explain how special meeting Elena was for her daughter and to ask if there was any chance of a personal meeting. This led her to the manager, who said to call back in an hour. When she did, they guided her to the back entrance of Fairytale Hall.
What followed was an unforgettable moment that brought tears to Chupp’s eyes. “We walked in, and it was just Elena waiting there for us. I could hardly contain my happiness; it was pure magic for my little girl, and for me too, who longed for this special experience,” she heartfully shared in a comment, attaching a red heart emoji for emphasis.
Reacting to her emotional story, the blog commented, “This made me a little teary-eyed, I can’t lie!” To which Chupp responded, “Made me teary then and now again as I was commenting. Pure Disney magic from the beautiful cast members!”
A Disney spokesperson commented on the story, saying that the spirit of their cast members is what makes Disney special. Their commitment to creating magical moments reflects the values the company embodies.
