SOOOO gross! Nicest - a couple months ago when I was making a wish in the wishing well and I looked down and saw the weeks old ring on my finger and the fiance next to me and realized I had gotten what I had been wishing for in the same well since I was about 12. I know it's cheesy...but pretty darn awesome too.

Nicest: The lovely CM who, after I asked him where he would chose to watch the fireworks from, seated us near the station at main st (the seast you pay for) then talked to us the 15 minutes until it started and then gave me the quickest route to any good seats left for the late Fantasmic! he was just amazing with my family and hugged me when he saw I was tearing up.. It was myf irst night in Disneyland and it was jsut the ost magic evening.

Grossest: Watching a lady change her baby's diaper on the tables with four other children that were presently eating where they do the Jedi show now. Sickest thing was it was a loaded diaper and one the children were snacking on a burger right next to it. After everyone around them appeared green in the face, some man stood up and pointed to a bathroom and the lady got all mad and got up and left (yep, left poo diaper behind in all its glory). Nicest: This happened to me not to long ago, but I noticed a few pieces of a broken dish on the floor at the Character Breakfast and I alerted one of the lady CM's to it. About 20 minutes later, she finds me at one of the tables outside and gives me this Tinkerbell pin (came with another one to give to someone else) as a recognition for a good deed. Second one happened to me just a few months ago. I took my mom to DL (did the Park Hopper thing for her) and we had a quick lunch at Pizza Port area. We were in a hurry to catch the Aladdin show at the DCA and we left and before we walked out of the park, I noticed my AP was missing. I run back to the Pizza Port and tell one of the CM's that I think I might have thrown out my AP at a particular trashcan less than 10 minutes ago. They unfortunately took the bag out of that particular trashcan minutes after I left and they were willing to open up the bag for me if it did not already arrive at the compactor. The CM feels bad my AP is gone and he phoned in over to the AP Center (Bank) and told them my story. He told me to go over there and I was able to get another AP without paying a recovery/replacement charge for it. I wrote a letter of gratitude for the people involved as they clearly went above their duty to help me out.

Originally Posted By EmmaJayne I can't believe all this gross stories.. is it really that hard for parents to find bathroom in order for their children to relieve themselves? I know kids will tell you they don't need to go and then the minutes you're in line, announce they do but have some resepct for the people around you (and yourself. I feel lucky I don't have a story such as these. yuck.

It was sooooo gross...I had to leave the restroom; decided I could wait! Nicest~ Wow..so many moments...but one of my favorites was first time I took my son; he just turned 7 years old. I kept trying to explain to him how wonderful Disneyland was and what he would see. He just couldn't get his head around it, no matter how much I tried. Leading up the trip he seemed excited about it but still not quite sure..when we got there I made sure to be in front of him at the gate and had my mom and dad hold his hand coming into the park through the tunnel. I will never forget the look on his face-as I caught it in a picture- his eyes are wide in wonder; he was looking all around and trying to take everything in on main street- I had tears rolling down my cheeks. He turned to me and said- Mommy- you were right...this is wonderful!

That stuff shot quite a distance, and then landing on the back of this lady's pants. Instead of stopping, he proceeded to clear the other side of his nose in the same fashion. That was so nasty. Nicest: Bringing my cousin's boy and girl to DL for their very first visit was one of the nicest experiences that I've ever had. They looked at everything with such wonder and amazement. They were very appreciative with everything given to them throughout the day. At the end of a very long day, the girl turn's to me and says "Do we have to go home?" - even as her eyelids were fighting a losing battle. I asked her why she didn't want to go home, and she told me because she really liked spending time with me at Mickey's house, and then she asked if Mickey would mind if she visited again some time soon. I told her that Mickey would love to see her again, and just as I said that, Mickey walked by us, stopped, patted her on the head....that was the most awesome thing that ever happened at DL for sure!

Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter Such a great story, Haunts! Many of our most magical moments in Disneyland have been similar things with characters just showing up at the perfect time and doing the perfect thing to make someone's day. I've told this story before, but I think it's worth repeating. The first time I took my kids to Disneyland, we ran into Captain Hook just as we went through the turnstiles. The kids posed for a picture with him and then wanted him to sign their autograph book. Being shy at the moment, they didn't actually ask him to sign it, but just held it out. Captain Hook didn't see their autograph book and turned to the next guest in line. Their little faces fell, but I didn't want to interrupt the next guest's photo time, so I told them, "I don't think Captain Hook is signing autographs right now; I think he's just posing for pictures." Even though I said this quietly, he heard me, instantly whipped around to look at us, and very quickly and efficiently (entirely by gesture, of course) shushed me, conveyed that I was obviously a simpleton, and asked the kids to wait a minute. He then finished posing for the photo with the current people, came over to us, very elaborately scolded me and indicated that I talk too much and didn't know what I was talking about, and signed my kids' autograph book. It was hilarious and yet so touching at the same time. He completely turned that moment around and made sure two children didn't walk away disappointed, but with a funny and special memory of the time Captain Hook mocked their mom. ;-)

We went to see Mickey at his house and take pictures. Mickey was lots of fun taking his hat off and on, and gesturing to my son how cool his jacket was. My son loved it! Later that day we went back into toontown to see other characters. More than one gestured about how Mickey talked about the little boy with the cool jacket. My son couldn't believe that Mickey had told all his friends about him. Even today his loves the picture of him and his pal Mickey.

My dad took me on It's A Small World (the decent, character free version) and as soon as our boat entered the building, I fell asleep. When I woke up, we were outside again. The lady ride operator knew what happened (I think Dad told her) and she let us go on it again. This time, I stayed awake.
