Magic Moments are relatively unremarkable to the giver.

Flipping through Super Bowl photos stumbled upon a Magic Moment caught (unknowingly) by a Disney Institute participant.

We were walking down the hall and a young Guest asked for one of the pins on the Disney Cast Member’s lanyard. Pin trading requires a one-for-one trade. This little boy had none.

Disney’s Standard Operating Guideline leaves room for Cast judgement. Knowing the boy’s Father was watching how this would be handled, without hesitation, the boy was allowed to take his pick.

Quietly and briefly, the Cast Member let the Dad know how it officially works so he wouldn’t be disappointed down the road.

Never knew Marcello caught it on film.
