I had a very wonderful woman help me at DTD. DH and I were waiting in line for a bus back to POP. We were near the front of the line. Somehow a second line started, going in the opposite direction. I'm not one to stress and naively assumed that we would still be able to get on the bus. As I started to climb in a woman actually grabbed me by the back of my shirt and pulled me off the bus. I twisted my ankle something awful and could not get back up. Nobody seemed to care as they all started walking around me to board.
Finally a very nice woman from Australia stopped and help dh get me over to the bench. We waited there for the next bus. The woman waited at the front and when the next bus arrived, she explained what happened so I was able to hobble on before the crowd. When we got off at the resort, she went and got a wheelchair while Dh helped me off the bus.
I am so sorry to hear of behaviour such as this! What even astounds me more is that the others walked around you without even stopping to see if you were okay, if they could help or stop that bus.
We have been both the givers and recievers of WDW magic. We now make sure that we make this part of our trips. We have received fast passes, an extra time to ride on certain rides and had people pay for our snacks. We try to make sure we do the same thing for someone else - given away glow necklaces and princess wands, give up our table during a crowded time at a counter service restaurant, given up a seat on a bus to a weary mom at the end of the day or pass on our fast passes. My kids like to try and come up with creative new things each time to surprise someone. I love my kids!
