We had a really neat instance last summer at Walt Disney World. My son had watched Toy Story 3 and was absolutely obsessed with obtaining all the toys from the movie and display them in his room. The only Lotso bear we could find was going for around $60 at Target and we told him to wait and we would find one for sure on vacation. Every day he looked for a Lotso, we were told they had him, but he sold out very quickly. Then, one day at Epcot, we were walking through the little stores between Canada and Mexico at the entrance to World Showcase. He walked around a corner, looked up and there he was, a brand new Lotso bear. He freaked out, started jumping up and down and was so excited. We got him down and went to the register to pay for him immediately. The cast member took the bear, cut all the tags off and then pickup up the phone. He made a call to some number and handed the phone to my son. It was Mickey on the line telling him he wanted to give him it for free.
The cast member said he got such joy out of seeing how excited he was over the toy, he wanted to extend that joy to my son. It was very magical and a memory we will not soon forget.
