Whether it’s a magical Disney experience in character or just visiting the Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom, it appears that the Disney spirit is contagious, especially if after 16 years as a Disney character at Walt Disney World left this low-key hero smiling.

Ever since the strikes, there’s been a focus on Disney Cast Members, but this proves that the story also has a happy side. Celebrating the little moments and focusing on choosing to “dream big” is what makes the Grand Marshal moment so special. Walt Disney World is a curated machine, and every part of it matters and makes a difference; that’s what a low-key hero is.
