The Joy of Seeing a Child's Belief in Meeting Mickey Mouse at Disneyland

One of the most beautiful moments of parenthood is seeing your child experience pure joy and wonder. For me, it was when my daughter met Mickey Mouse at Disneyland. She hugged him with her eyes closed, truly believing that she met the iconic character. It reminded me that the prime age for Disneyland is around 5 to 8 years old, when children still see the magic and don't question the people behind the costumes. It was a heartwarming moment that I will cherish forever.
