Visiting a Disney Park as a child is unbelievably magical. Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort are two places that are filled with so much wonder and excitement. Getting to see your favorite characters and movies come to life before your very eyes is a magical experience at every age, especially as a child. There is a reason that millions of Guests flock to Disney to vacation every year. For parents, getting to see the joy on their child’s face as they experience magic is worth every penny that Disney might cost.
For one mother-daughter duo, a recent trip to Walt Disney World Resort ended up being one of the most magical moments of their lives. A viral video shared the moment with over a million fans.
This Little Girl’s Joy Will Brighten Your Day
In the Disney community, we refer to special moments in our lives as “core memories.” If you were lucky enough to experience a Disney Park as a child, you likely have a few of these Disney core memories for yourself.
For some Guests, a core memory could be meeting a favorite character or getting a new piece of merchandise. For TikToker Haley, @theenchantedesquire, her daughter definitely had a core memory when she got to ride an attraction for the first time.
The roller-coasters at Walt Disney World Resort are tons of fun, but unfortunately, they are not safe for all ages. Many rides at Walt Disney World Resort have height restrictions, including the dream ride of Haley’s daughter. Her child has been waiting to ride Slinky Dog Dash for years. This family-friendly coaster is located in Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but to ride it you must be 38 inches or taller. The hearts of fans everywhere melted when Haley was able to catch the moment when her daughter was finally tall enough to ride Slinky Dog Dash for the first time. Haley explains;
“?Core memory for sure.
Dacey has been watching her sisters go on “big girl rides” her whole life. Every time we had to child swap she took it like a champ and would say “I ride dis when I growed up more.” I can’t believe she is finally “growed up” enough to ride Slinky and 3 other “big girl rides” at Disney World now. It was also a monumental moment for our family, because it was the first time we were all able to ride a (big) roller coaster together! Head to my stories on Instagram to see if Slinky Dog Dash was everything she dreamed it would be ?Do you have a core memory like this? Seeing your babies grow into “big kid” rides is so bittersweet… and absolutely magical.”
