The Disney Fairy Godmother apprentice is fluent in sign language and helped a deaf little girl have a real Cinderella day.
A Disney World Fairy Godmother apprentice, fluent in sign language, helped a deaf little girl live a real Cinderella day and gave a real lesson in inclusion.
For Fallon Brizendine Mowl, the park created the best day ever for her daughter Gisele, thanks to an ASL (American Sign Language) interpreter named Janie, who provided the girl with a very special day.
Mowl shared an emotional video on her Instagram page telling about the experience. The clip starts with Janie and Gisele meeting for the first time. “Hi, Gisele! My name is Janie,” the interpreter signs. “Let’s play together, okay?”
Gisele responds that she would like to be Cinderella, so the Fairy Godmother apprentice takes the little girl for her princess day. They talk a lot, choose hairstyles, and of course, a beautiful dress.
The duo heads to a fitting room where Gisele tries on her beautiful sparkling dress, and before they continue, Janie signs the iconic Fairy Godmother phrase in ASL: “Bibbidi, Bobbidi, Boo!”
To complete the princess transformation, Janie helps Gisele sit in the beauty chair to choose her look. “Blue or purple? Do you want a flower or a butterfly?” she asks. The little girl answers, “A flower”.
With the complete look and a touch of sparkle, Gisele is ready! Then Janie introduces the little girl to her parents, who are eagerly waiting to see the transformation: “And now… Princess Cinderella!”
Internet users were moved seeing Gisele’s joy as she had her princess day with Janie’s help, a true Fairy Godmother.
“I’m crying so much, this is so beautiful!” commented one; “THIS is inclusion. And it’s magical,” said another.
