I have a story. We went to WDW in June 07 and had a great time. It had been 10 years since our last visit and it was the first time for my two youngest. We went on the Winnie the Pooh ride in MK. My oldest LOVES Eeyore (she's 18). When we came off the ride, she was looking at all the stuffed Eeyores. The CM told her to hold them and had me take a picture of her with a huge Eeyore. I did and as we were leaving, the CM came up to her and gave her a picture frame to put the picture in so she would always remember her Pooh ride and her favorite character. She has the picture and frame in her room. 
It is the little things that make a difference sometimes.

That is such a sweet story
Your daughter sounds like a sweet and wonderful young lady

Love the picture and it was nice of the CM to give her a frame for it

Our family goes to WDW about once a year - I cry every time out of happiness. Our DS 10 is autistic and very set in his ways. He always ate pizza on Tuesdays for lunch at the Tomorrowland Terrace. We were not aware when we went to WDW in November (not our usual time of year) that the restaurant was only opened on the weekends on the off season. So there we stood with a child who is melting down crying "I want my Pizza" at the top of his lungs. A nice CM told us that the only other place to get pizza at that time was Tony's on Main St. We ran down there and were told it was a 45 minute wait for a table. We explained we did not do sit down meals (especially with the screaming child). A manager came over and we explained our problem. Well 5 minutes later she comes back to us with a personal size cheese pizza to go and apologizes to us for the inconvenience. To top it off she tells us there is no charge and to have a magical day.
Once again the kindness that we receive at WDW makes the investment we made in DVC worth the money.

Love the tray. That is really cool
I'll give another story - actually it's from Mexico again.
My DD used to love the Mexico ride before it was renovated (it now has a Donald Duck in Latin America theme).
Well, anyone, one trip she and I had taken an afternoon just by ourselves while her dad and older sister made an "all 4 parks in one afternoon" run.
I let DD decide where we would go and one of the first places she chose was Mexico. There was hardly anyone on it and halfway thru the ride she started signing at me to ask if she could ride again. I said we could ask the CM when we came around to the unload area, if no one else was waiting.
No one was, so we asked and were able to go again. When we got to the end, DD signed to the CM to ask if she could go a third time. No one was waiting, so we went a third time. When we came back again, the CM asked DD's name and asked if she wanted to go again.
DD nodded her headand we were on our way.
When that ride finished, there were 3 or 4 CMs from Mexico standing there, all smiling at DD. They presented her with a personalized Magical Moment Certificate signed by all of them.
Each time since then that we go on the Mexico ride, DD asks if she can go more than once. She doesn't like the Donald version as well as the older version, but still likes her little visit to Mexico.
This happened with my oldest DD and her dad...on Goofy's Barnstormer. The CM's kept letting them ride...even with other people in line. They finally just closed off the "stall" area to load where my husband and DD were. I think my husband said they rode about 8 times before DH drug DD off!
(My youngest DD and I were...fortunately...on another ride.) Another time, we were at AK on the primevil whirl. While we were waiting for the ride to start, the CM said "if you want to ride again, just let me know when you come back around." Well, when we came back around...CM asked if wanted to ride again. DH and I both said "no!"...both DD's shouted yes...so guess who won! 
I have another story...or two...to add. Several years ago, we went to DW for DD's MAW. One night, we were watching spectromagic. (I just so happen to be filming the parade.) Snow white and the dwarfs walked by. DD was waving at snow white...who kept walking on. Doc, I believe, went up to snow white and said something to her. She turned around and walked back to where DD was sitting. She spoke to my DD and shook her hand and called her a princess. It was so special.
On the same trip, DD wanted to meet Bear in the Big Blue House. She didn't want to go to the show (the playhouse disney show), though. So, I went and spoke to the CM at the door and explained the situation. He told us what time to come back. We came back after the next show...after everyone had exited the builing, we were brought in for our own private meeting with Bear. It was great. He danced with both DD's (youngest DD was just over 1 YO and LOVED bear!) and took several pictures. It was truly magical for both DD's.

I wrote and posted this shortly after our Wish Trip, but I think the thoughts would be appropriate here:
"What is magic, but the gift to see the underlying beauty that others miss, or to bring that beauty to the surface where all, but the most jaded souls can see it, touch it, taste it and live it? Walt Disney possessed the Midas Touch that transformed dross to gold, chaff to pixie dust. He wove this magic thread into all that he created from his family films to his child-centered theme parks. The wondrous thing is that Walt was able to bestow this gift of magic touch to those whom he left behind. A new generation of "Disneys" is making magic every day at Disney parks around the globe.
A few months ago, I began a thread about how Wish trips revealed the soul of Disney. This was before we left on a Wish Trip to Disney World with our little daughter. Now that we have tasted the sweetness of that mystical place for ourselves, I feel compelled to express my new insights into Disney Magic.
I had high expectations going to Orlando, having read so much about the generosity of Disney in helping to create magical memories for countless children with life-threatening illnesses. Now that we have been there, done that, and have the tee shirts, I have to say that my high expectations of Disney were actually exceeded by our first-hand experiences.
There are so many positive things that I could say about the real magic of the Magic Kingdom, that I hardly know where to start. Perhaps the beginning would be as good a place as any.
From the beginning of our time in Disney World, we felt the warm touch of royal hospitality. Even at the ferry dock, as we prepared to board the ferry during a tropical storm, we were met with genuine smiles of welcome. After losing some video discs from my camera bag due to failing to zip up a side pouch after the bag check, I went to Guest Services on Main Street to file a lost item report. When Jeff, a Cast Member behind the counter saw my Make a Wish button, he inquired about my daughter's wish. I told him that she really wanted to see the inside of Cinderella's Castle but that we had received our trip dates too late to schedule a meal in the castle. I asked if there was any way she could "peek in" for a moment to see more than the tunnel under the castle. In typical Disney Guests Services he said, "Let me see what I can do." That must be their motto and they truly mean it. In a moment Jeff returned. "Can you make it to breakfast at the castle in half an hour?" he asked. Could we ever!
At the castle my daughter's main wish of meeting Cinderella and seeing her castle was fulfilled, all because one man cared enough to "see what he could do." At Cinderella's Royal Table, she was enthralled with the personal attention that Snow White gave her. Belle, Jasmine and the Fairy Godmother were all very kind as well. It was such a magical time that I could not keep the tears out of my eyes when we were leaving the castle. "Daddy, why are you crying," she asked. I was unable to explain tears of joy to a five year old child.
The magic did not end at the Magic Kingdom. When we were toward the end of our day at Animal Kingdom, she fell and cut her knee. All she could think about was going back to our villa at Give Kids the World Village. We were able to persuade her to stay for the last showing of the Festival of the Lion King. There, one cast member asked her to help teach the "hand jive" to the crowd. She jumped up to help, her limp vanishing. Another cast member came to present her with Tinkerbelle pins and spoke sweetly to her, getting down on one knee to be at her level. When the show began, another cast member invited her to join in the celebration by dancing and playing a maraca. Her face nearly split in two with a huge smile. This extra kindness meant the world to a little girl who has been through a lot of hurt and pain in her life, but has overcome with her spirit of joy and hope unscathed.
There were many instances of kindness and hospitality that were demonstrated to us during that week. Perhaps the most amazing thing was that every cast member smiled at us. They all appeared to love their jobs. Where else in the world can you find that kind of spirit. For one magical week we were surrounded by love, kindness and joy. That was the real magic.
The royal treatment provided by Disney to children on Wish Trips reveals the true soul of Disney. Walt would have loved to see what his Kingdom has become. It is still the happiest place on earth, because the wonderful subjects of that Kingdom make it so. To every wish-trip child, Disney provides free tickets to its theme parks. In addition, cast members are instructed to allow these children to bypass lines for attractions, and to escort them into the rides in royal fashion. Evidently Disney figures that these kids have had to wait too often in their young lives. They have waited during medical scans. They have waited to recover for surgery. They have waited for donor matches for transplants. In their waiting, they have missed countless opportunities for joy and fun that other kids enjoy. There will be no waiting for these special children in the World of Disney.
What kind of a corporation is Disney? One with a soul. What kind of a soul has Disney? A soul filled with love. What kind of love does Disney display, the kind of love that stoops to lift the spirit of a child up to the heights of magic and joy. I am a true believer in the Magic of Disney, and I shall remain so always."

Bill - I hadn't read your thoughts on Disney Magic, but I just did, and my eyes are filled with tears at your wonderful words. Because we have already experienced Disney magic with 2 trips of our own, we can relate completely to the feeling that the CMs are doing all they can to make the day special.
On our first trip, we joined the line for the monorail at the Grand Floridian, and a CM could see that we were checking to see if there was a specific spot to stand for wheelchair access. Without a word, but with a big smile, he started to reach for the small ramps they use to ease access for w/c's. We started to tell him he needn't bother because we can easily lift Mark's chair in. He just smiled again and said something like, "Ma'am, we can see that your son and your family face special challenges every day. When you are visiting us here at WDW, it's our job to ease whatever challenges, whatever burdens you face. If I can make your day just a little bit easier so you can focus on having fun together, then I've done my job. We just want you to have a magical day."
Sure, it's fun to ride the rides and such. But when I really think about why we love Disney, it's the way they respond to our family that makes me want to return again and again.

Some of my thoughts about my DD'w Wish Trip are hard to explain, so I wrote this poem to express the experience.
A WISH, A DREAM, A MAGIC PLACE
Beautiful baby
Born to laugh
Smile and play
But pain
Swept into your world
Like a hurricane
How powerless
My father's soul
Unable to protect
Gladly would I
Have ripped out my very heart
To save you
I remember your infant eyes
Locked with mine
As they carried you away
But heroes came
With scalpels
And healing hands
Through long nights
Of chemical sickness
They cared for you
Prayers took root
And grew like wildflowers
Into a garden of life
You grew
And healed
Despite the odds
Then came the call
On Angel's wings
To fly you to a magic place
Castle doors opened for you
Smiles and gifts awaited you
In that land of wonder
It is a place
Built of dreams
Founded on love
Because of you
And all you overcame
I shared that dream with you
I will never forget
Your Princess eyes
Filled with delight and joy
How beautiful the hands
That give and serve
And build a gift so magical
Greeted by a whale
And her splashing tale
Dolphins feasting from your hand
Princesses in regal bliss
Stooped to bestow a royal kiss
And speak with hope filled words
Invited to dance and sing
To celebrate a Lion King
In your own joyous style
The magic donkey spoke
And shared a joke
That made you forever friends
You saw the world
And pyrotechnics swirled
To bring your magic journey to a close
Now we look back
And hold those images
Of magic in our hearts
The love and joy
We planted there
With tears of happiness
Will grow in time
In song and rhyme
Into a legendary tale

On my first trip to WDW, my first time renting an ECV, my first time ON an ECV... I was a wee bit nervous!!
So, we check in at the Fort, and got the BEST cabin available, the closest one to the swimming pool, and right down the street from the bus stop. As we leave, the CMs bring out the ECV for me (rented off-site).
So, I stand there, with my kids hopping around in great excitement (they were 8 and 4). I'm embarrassed to need one, embarrassed that I don't know how to work it, embarrassed because I was proud back then.
I get on, study everything, and DH holds doors, and then drops the bomb. I'm going to have to drive it to the cabin.
This wouldn't have been so bad, but thunderstorms were rolling in, and DH drove off in the van without a backward glance. So, I'm being brave and putputputting along the side of the road
when the sky just opens up.
Fortunately, one of the great maintenance CMs jumps off his motorized cart and comes to my rescue. He gets a friend to help him put the cart in the back of his little truck and drives me to the cabin.
I know that many wouldn't have been upset in that situation, but I was so overwhelmed with new things, and that CM just made my life so much easier. DH was so worried! We couldn't fit the ECV in until we'd unpacked.
This is only one story of the great disney magic that has been sprinkled on our family.

On my daughters first trip to Disney, we went to MK. I had no idea how she would react to anything, characters included. I figured if we could make it up Main Street without a tantrum, I would consider it a sucess. We made it all the way to Toontoon and got in line to meet Mickey. I was scared, not knowing what was going to happen. We were the last ones into the room where Mickey was. My DD was watching him, I kept thinking we would have to make a quick exit. All the other families had their turn and left. Mickey looked at my DD, I explained this was her first experience. Mickey knelt down in front of her and held out his hand. My DD took it and just starting RAMBLING on and on (I have no idea what she was saying LOL), but every now and then she would say "Lub Mickey". Everyone in the room was in tears. It was so sweet! She went on for a good 10 minutes(I got the feeling she was complaining about me
That brought tears to my eyes. How wonderful.Bawling like a baby!

Great thread! 
Last year, at MGM (at the time!), we got some special attention from a dream team member. She noticed us, ds (w/PDD-NOS) in particular. She got toys for my ds to play with while we were waiting for the Cars 'parade', took us around to a ton of characters, and when the handlers noticed she was with us, all of the characters gave my son some extra attention, gave the kids certificates & pins, and gave us ice cream coupons so ds could take a special afternoon break. She also gave my dd a set of pixie dust pins, because she could tell what a special big sister she is to him. We will never forget that CM!!

When we (Mom, DH, two of my mom's friends, my godfather, and me) went to Disney World in January of this year, we did all of the parks, except for Universal like we usually do. We had the most wonderful time. My mom and godfather go to Orlando every January for a national meeting that is associated with their job. If my DH and I are lucky, we get to go too.
When we all went to Hollywood Studios, we watched the Disney Stars And Motors Cars parade. Alice from Alice In Wonderland came over to where we were sitting in the wheelchair section, and said to me, "Have a golden afternoon, my dear." That made my day for the rest of the day.
The one moment I'll never forget was when my mom got to have a free night stay at Marriott's Orlando World Center a few years ago when I went with her. This was because the hotel was putting in new carpeting, and had tried to cover the hole between the carpet and marble floor. I was using one of those four-wheeled rollators, and was sitting on the seat while my mom pushed it. When we went over the hole, the front wheels got caught in the hole, flipping the rollator and me over, and sending my mom flying over on her side. Apparently they hadn't covered the hole up enough.
A staff member came over to help us. I didn't know what was going on since I smacked my head hard on the marble floor when I went over. He radios for the manager when my mom tells him what happens as I was told by my mom. They decide to call for an ambulance, and one ambulance ride later we were off to the hospital in Celebration. I had just had my hip replacement surgery also, and when I hit my head, I landed on my operated hip. It was hurting badly. Luckily, it was OK after x-rays showed that the implant was still intact.
So, even though part of the trip was ruined, we still managed to have fun at Disney World.

Thanks for popping this back up.
I've got a very short story from our trip in October.
We had a couple of bus drivers who needed improvement, but we also had some really great ones.
One of the great ones drove us to Epcot one day. He talked about how easy we had made his job by doing things like marking the spots on DD's wheelchair where tiedowns could be attached with tape. DH also helped with the tiedown and un-attaching the tiedowns once we got to the park.
DD enjoyed him, laughed and signed that he was funny. He got a kick out of her too and when we got off the bus, he said he had a "little something for her". He handed her a Tinkerbell pin and said he had been waiting for the right person to give it to.
