Magic Kingdom is pretty awesome for children. OK, that's a lie, we'll try again. Magic Kingdom is pretty awesome for everybody, but it's especially awesome for children. It's a place where dreams come to life, and fantasy takes flight. For very small children, they're memories that they'll treasure for their whole lifetime.
Every Disney worker in the Kingdom will go out of their way to make that visit as special as possible for every child - but you wouldn't necessarily expect the same out of the security staff. That's what makes this man wonderful. Every day, he goes to work with an old autograph book, and whenever he sees a princess, he asks for her autograph. As seen here, the child is amazed that someone thought they were a real princess, and it makes their day that bit more special. Parents who've seen him up close say that they can see hundreds, if not thousands, of signatures in the book.
