Plea For Help - Mexican Donald Duck - Epcot

Good Evening,

I'm writing this as a desperate plea to cheer up my 5 year old son Dylan.

We got home from 2 weeks in Florida on Thursday morning, whilst we were there Dylan completely fell in love with Donald Duck and met every "version" apart from Mexican Donald in Epcot. We went there 3 or 4 times but each time he was either not there (despite the app saying he should be :angry: ) or the queue was just too long (we have an 11 year old autistic son who just cannot handle queues).

I spoke to Dylan and asked on our last day if he wanted to try one more time to see him but he said he had met him lots of times and had his picture taken with him and he'd prefer a day in the pool before we went home. Since we got home Dylan has cried every night that he didn't meet Mexican Donald. My wife and I are absolutely distraught that we didn't just go back to Epcot whilst it was up the road, now it's miles away and we aren't going back for at least 2 or 3 years. To be totally honest, I feel like a complete let-down of a Dad. I don't want his over-riding memory of this holiday to be that he didn't do something he wanted to do.

So, now onto my plea, is there anyone at all currently at Disney or going soon that is planning to meet Mexican Donald that'd mind holding a piece of paper or something that says "hello Dylan" on it and sending it to me? I understand it's a big ask when you're walking around on your holidays but it'd make his day and hopefully cheer him up a bit.

I'm sorry for rambling on; thanks for reading.

Will a “Merry Christmas, Dylan” be of any help?

We will be there second week of December.

Why do you not google a photo of Mexican Mickey, make it into a postcard or card then write inside ( in Mickeys writing of course ) saying Mickey was sorry he kept missing him when he visited but will definetly meet him next time.

Erm, it's Mexican Donald that the OP wants a photo of, not Mickey (poor Mickey).

Using the above example, the OP could get a photo of Mexican Donald off the interweb and photoshop a sign in his hand saying, "Hello Dylan" or similar. I know it's not really the same thing...
