What Was The Green Balloon All About At D23?

If you were at the D23 and stayed until the end of the Disney Parks and Resorts presentation, there was a beautiful story shared by Bob Chapek, president of Disney Parks and Resorts.  Bob gave a speech and near the end of his speech a cast member took the stage to read part of a letter.  The letter was written to Disney management about two Disney cast members and a little boy and a green balloon.  So after you read this story and you see a green balloon at Disneyland, think of a little boy named Trey who has a difficult time in big crowds.

Also think about all the other children, or even adults who may be like Trey who has a hard time in large crowds and does their best to make it through the day in places like Disney.  You don’t have to be a cast member to make a difference. It’s about being kind, and giving a little magic to someone else.  Paying it forward or just giving someone a smile.  We get too caught up in our own lives and rushing around to take in the moment or notice others.  This is actually something I am working hard to teach my children about this summer.  Notice others.  Be kind.  Think of others.  Make a difference.
