Disneyland always lives up to its reputation as “the happiest place on earth.” From the endless nostalgia brought to life by rides and attractions based on our favorite childhood films and movies to endless treats and goodies that can always put a smile on visitors’ faces, there’s something in the air when you step foot into a Disney theme park.
In the video, Luca, who is deaf, approaches Woody and Bo Peep from the Toy Story films. When walking up to them, Luca’s mother, Callie Foster, uses American Sign Language (ASL) to introduce her son—and what happened next will tug at your heartstrings.
Bo Peep kneels down to communicate with Luca face-to-face, using ASL to say, “Nice to meet you” and “You’re our friend.” What might seem like a small gesture made a huge impact on Luca and his family.
” It was a small but incredibly touching moment that made us feel the true magic of Disney and its commitment to making every child feel seen, heard and special,” Luca’s mom told Newsweek . “The inclusivity, the understanding, the acceptance—it was beautiful.”
