Most magical thing you've done for someone at Disney

We've had a very interesting thread about magical things that have happened to us at Disney but have you done magical things for people there?
I've given away fast passes.
After eating at Cinderella's Table we gave our magic wands and swords to two little ones in the park.
For the last 2 times we've been to Disney I've made up little "thank you" bags of candy to give to CMs who have done something special for us. Usually this involved chefs and servers who help us out with my DH's allergies to onions and garlic. We've had some wonderful meals made for him.

Tell me how you have spread the magic.

I try to do something every trip regardless of how small it may be. One thing that we always do is when we finish our food @ CS locations, we look for family with kids to give our table to if they are waiting. I did that this Feb @ Casey's. It was very busy and my buddy and I were finishing up but before we left, I told him to hold on and looked around. I found a family (w/ 2 young kids) who was about to sit on the ground by the first aid station and told them they can have our table and brought them over and gave them our table. They could not thank me enough and every family we do this for are always appreciative.

Today!!!!! I was waiting around EPCOT to get a great monorail shot when a couple asked me to take their picture. They had "Mrs" and "Mr" shirts, with a Disney style to them and wanted me to take a picture of their backs. As soon as they asked me, I saw the Monorail Yellow out of the corner of my eye. I sacrificed my monorail shot to include the monorail in theirs. They were thrilled! :D

One Little Spark...
If we aren't going to use our fastpasses, we eyeball another group of two and give them away.

One time, while waiting in line to see Pluto on Main St. USA, we struck up conversation with a family with two daughters who were in line with us. It was their first trip, and their eldest daughter was around my kid's age. They struck up conversations about fun things to do, etc...and the topic of pin trading came up (my daughter was decked out in her Minnie hat and Pins (see avatar pic).

Prior to the trip, they had been unaware of pin trading and how it works. The mom had purchased them lanyards, but they only had a few pins (and the Mom and I commiserated how expensive pin trading can get). Because they only had a few pins (2 or 3 each, something like that), they didn't want to trade.

My daughter turned to me and asked if she could give them some more pins for their lanyards so they would be able to trade later in the day with Cast Members. I pulled out our "trading bag" full of less valuable pins and she picked out a dozen or so of them and gave them to the little girls. They were very grateful and excited, and they had fun plopped down on the cement putting them on their lanyards.

I hope it made their day!

This was something another guest once did for me. We were staying at BLT when it first opened, so of course, I had been enjoying that wonderful arcade they have at Contemporary (before I discovered Disney Quest. Well, really, before we had passes for it). I had racked up a fair amount of points during my stay. I was waiting to redeem my points behind this Mom and her two daughters who had so many tickets it was ridiculous. She told us that their dad had taken them there and played games all day. Finally, the mom turned around and said "You can have the rest of the tickets. My girls have enough stuff." It was still a lot of tickets, more than I had started out with, and I ended up getting a glitter lamp, a Dumbo for myself, a stuffed animal and flashing traffic light for my brother, and a slinky. That mom did not have to do that, but it made the trip for me. And we both still have all of our stuff. I guess I was 14 at the time.

When I'm there, I try to help out other guests who look at all lost or confused. If I overhear a conversation or someone comes up to a CM and the CM can't answer the question (especially the newer college interns) I'll help them out. I want everyone to love WDW as much as I do and have an amazing time on their vacations so I do what I can to make that possible. I also talk to the little girls in costumes. Ya know, like, "Oh, you're such a pretty princess today!" and ask them about the princesses. Sometimes I'll even share my experiences when I was little.

In 2010, someone approached my daughters and DH in the lobby of WL and gave them a large princess balloon. They were flying out that day and couldn't take it on the plane, so they wanted to give it to another girl so it could be enjoyed. Well, we were flying out the next day, so before we checked out...DH took the girls back down to the lobby to find another little girl who might want the balloon. They found someone, she was super happy, they loved the story of the balloon, and agreed to pass it on to another child when they checked out.

I've given up my seat on the bus, monorail, boat- to people who look like they need it. i.e. a mom carrying an infant, young children who'd be left standing, elderly folks, or people who just look like they're ready to drop.

Maelstrom had a 40+ min wait...but the CM who was working with us before was going to let us up to the front of the line (long story- involved beer ;)), but I pulled FPs just in case his shift ended before we were ready. Well, he was still there...so, before we went in, I ran to the back of the line and gave another family of 4 our FPs.

I know there's more...but this is all I can remember right now.

So how does one go about buying a table in WDW and then deciding whom to let use it?o_O

A couple of years ago, we split so many CS meals that we had a bunch left at the end of our trip. I hung back in the food court until I saw a family of 5, and bought their breakfast. They were so elated! Our family felt great, until.... We finished our breakfast, got up, and I accidentally hit my daughter's drink (luckily only water) that went spilling all over... You guessed it. THAT SAME FAMILY! I nearly died from humiliation. The little boy, said, "That's OK. I wanted to get wet today anyway!" I felt slightly less good about buying their breakfast.:eek:
On another trip, my daughter bought one of the huge Mickey head-in-a-clear-balloon balloons. We couldn't take it on the plane home, so she found a little girl in the MK and gave it to her. It was really sweet.
