Walt Disney World is known for creating special moments, and a recent video shows Winnie the Pooh doing just that for a disabled child and his family, as reported by Fox News.
- The video above was shared on Facebook by Jessie Barber, the mother of an 18-month old boy with cerebral palsy.
- Barber and her family were dining at The Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom when they experienced this touching interaction with Pooh.
- Barber explained that her son can only communicate through facial expressions and Pooh knew just how to interact with him.
- Pooh is seen in the video holding the boy’s hand and nuzzling his face and hair.
What they’re saying:
- Barber’s Facebook post: “For those of you who have disabled children know the feel when people look but aren’t sure how to interact with your kiddo. This Winnie the Pooh melted my heart and knew exactly what to do! He spent 10+ minutes with our little guy and he loved every second of it. Thank you Pooh!”
- Barber on the public reaction to the video: “This was his first time at Disney World. I had no idea the video would go viral. We were just hoping to reach other special needs families to show this amazing interaction and that it is worth the trip to Disney.”
