It's the staff who really make Disney what it is. We've had 2 instances the past few days that really brought that home. At security on the way into Magic Kingdom, Faye opened a full bottle of water and spilled it all over Tom who was in tears. The security guard legged it to a nearby cafe and came running back with a towel and some badges to cheer him up! The second happened in the Animal Kingdom. We were sitting waiting for the parade to start when Tom decided he was hungry. He had eaten his way through the snacks in the backpack so I gave him some dollars to buy some apples from the stall across the "street" (it was in full view. He went to cross but the guide sent him back as the parade was on it's way. He was in floods. So the guide went and got 2 boxes of sliced apples with caramel dips for them, courtesy of Mickey Mouse! Fantastic PR!
The day rounded off with The Lion King Musical. It's directed by the same Julie Taymor who did the Broadway show and was absolutely spectacular. We left the park exhausted and airport bound to collect Dad but his flight was delayed by 6 hours : ( so he didn't get home til 4am at which stage we were unconcious!
PS. My photographs of the Lion King aren't great as I couldn't use flash photography : (
