We’re bringing a 1st timer on a short trip in May. She’s a young adult and… she’s never had a vacation before or really a childhood to speak of. She sees WDW as a place to entertain children and is happy to humor me and enjoy the rides and food, but does not expect to experience anything like Disney magic.
So I figured getting her a 1st Time pin would be a start. I remember how much fun my own kids had, as children, wearing a birthday button and CMs coming out of woodwork to call my daughter Princess. That would be expecting too much, I know. CMs will see a 21 year old lady and provide a more demure social interaction if any at all. Thing is, I think she might like the little kid treatment, if just for a day or two. She’s never had it.
She’s a family friend and something of a protégé. I would describe the relationship as avuncular, so I feel comfortable taking some very mild liberties that might push her outside her comfort zone just a little. This isn’t like the time I told three restaurants in a row that it was my daughters birthday so they would all come out and sing at the table.
