Acts of Kindness

Some heart warming stories.

Last year, we were having breakfast in Denny's , all 6 of us, and a lovely American lady paid our bill ! We were shocked, we had the waitress point her out so we could thank her. She just wanted to do a good deed for the day, she said she had a big family and knew how expensive it was to go to Disney. She even paid the tip !

I didn't think of asking anyone in the standby queue to go with me in the fast pass queue when I had a child swap ticket, must remember that in future.
We tried to give away a paper child swap ticket as we left HS one day, no one would take it !

In 2016 we stayed in the Doubletree at SeaWorld. You get free one time fast passes for SeaWorld by staying there. As we only used to do the 'big rides' and missed out Turtle Trek, etc. after we'd done them once, we always used to give them out to those with younger children to enjoy.

One day, a lovely couple who didn't like the 'big' rides picked us out to have their one time onsite fast passes which made our day and repaid the favour!

Someone gave me their Legoland passes the first year it opened, they had only used one day and we used them about five times. It was such a lovely gesture. Don't think you could do that with the new system.

A few years back we had tickets for Disney and universal , I had been unwell quite a few days during our trip and we weren’t going to be able to spend much time at universal so rather than waste them with our finger prints for a couple of ours we went to the pool in the resort we were staying at our timeshare in vistana villages and we picked a family who we could see had just arrived and gave them to them , it was such a lovely feeling they were so overwhelmed and couldn’t believe that we would give them such a generous gift , their words xxx

When we were in Epcot 2013 a family gave us 5 FP's for Soarin' as we were towards the end of the world show case going clockwise, they were heading on to it ant clockwise. Took us by surprise & rather shocked! Was a lovely thing to do We wouldnt have been able to ride it without the passes due to the wait times etc so grateful to this day!

In 2011 we were leaving Magic Kingdom as it was MVMCP when we were approached by a young american guy. He asked if we had tickets for the party. When I said no he gave me two passes as his friends couldn't come and he didn't want to waste them. I offered to give him some cash but he wouldn't hear of it.

We had a great time, it made our holiday!

Just a small but nice memory. At Teppan Edo we shared a table with a family from Chicago who we enjoyed talking to. At the end they didn't want their dining plan dessert so let us have it. Just a memory of our meal at Teppan Edo.

I did this for a little girl at legoland Windsor once, the look of gratitude on her dads face was only surpassed by the look of relief on his daughters once the sore spot on her foot was all covered up and cushioned against a rubbing shoe.

We used to give away the paper fastpasses regularly in the old days. We managed it again last year when we had "any ride"ones after a breakdown. Definitely made the family very happy as the park was rammed.

My daughter and a friend were given the special Mickey ears by two teenagers during the Year of a Million Wishes awhile ago. I think they were embarrassed to be seen in them but it made the girls day. The very same trip the friend and her widowed mother were chatting to a family who invited them to join them at Cinderellas Table the next morning. They said they had two spare places and didn't want them to go to waste as they would have to pay anyway. I don't think they would have actually but they certainly made it a special day for our friends! There can't be many people treated to CRT by strangers.

We've done fast passes in the past and last year we went to the dollar store and bought a pack of 5 glow sticks for a dollar and handed the extra three to a young family

Also, last year we had so many credits at the end we bought a lovely couple some drinks at Starbucks

Sometimes its not even the giving of something but the actions. Last year on a crowded buses my two boys always stood up to let families with little ones sit down. One dad was overly grateful (but trying to prove a bit of a point though)when he announced to the whole bus how it was nice to see teens with such good manners give up their seats - he obviously had to hold his young daughter while standing a few times, anyway the boys felt rather proud of themselves that evening
