Man Who Has Been Goofy At Disney World For 20 Years Shares The Most Magical Moment Of His Career
Many people believe that Disney World is a magical place, that’s why 52 million people visit the famous vacation resort each year. In case you’re one of those who are unable to see its enchanting powers, there’s something that might change your mind. And who can do that better than Disney World employees who clearly have seen it all? One of them, Mikey Jacobs, volunteered on the subreddit called Ask Me Anything to share everything that people are curious about.

Jacobs worked at Disney World in Orlando, Florida, from 1989 to 2015, and played the character Goofy for around 20 years.
While Jacobs originally intended to spoil the Disney magic for those who idealize the resort too much, he ended up delivering an enchanting story after being asked about his most magical moment at work.
The way Jacobs took care of two little girls who had just witnessed the deaths of their parents stole people’s hearts. Even though the story was told years after it happened, it continues to have a tremendous effect on people’s lives. After reading Jacobs’ story, people were inspired to pay the kindness forward.
One user said they have donated toys to the Florida Hospital for Children, which is closely located to Disney World, as many other people followed his example. The hospital received dozens of donations for the ill children, entirely thanks to Jacobs’ story.
Sir, you might be Goofy, but to these little girls, you were what they needed most. A friend A-friend-5...151f9e.jpg
We've had the most memorable times as a family at both of the parks Land and World. We admire the effort the characters and staff make to ensure the magic continues by always going the extra mile. People may think it's just a job, but it takes a special human being to be that character!
I'm not currently crying at my work desk, I swear!!!
Ah yes, same. Hard to hide too. Going to toilet, brb :P
