Boy With Down Syndrome Shares Sweet Moment With Donald Duck at Walt Disney World

Boy With Down Syndrom Shares Sweet Moment With Donald Duck at Walt Disney World

Walt Disney World is known as the “Most Magical Place On Earth” for everyone who visits it. A little boy with Down Syndrome recently shared a sweet moment on his family’s Disney trip with Donald Duck, and the video is enough to not only bring a smile to anyone’s face, but for some like me, tears as well.

AAsher Liles, who has Down Syndrome and non-verbal apraxia, got to meet his favorite Disney character, Donald Duck, at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. His family shared the sweet video on his YouTube page.

Donald spun in circles and fell to his knees when he saw AAsher, who was in a head-to-toe Donald Duck costume. He started to give him a great big hug and lead him toward the photopass area, where the two quickly became friends and shared non-verbal communication with each other. Then both even turn around and shook their tail feathers for the camera.

Donald Duck recently celebrated his 85th anniversary on June 9th.

AAsher wore his adorable Donald Duck costume throughout the Walt Disney World theme parks, and he even got the chance to take some other photos with Donald Duck and Daisy, too.

Take a look at some of the photos AAsher’s mother, Kerri, shared on Instagram documenting her son’s character interactions on their vacation:

This sweet moving video is proof that Walt Disney World Cast Members always strive to create magical and memorable moments for every guest, including AAsher and other children with special needs.

Many of us Disney fans can relate to that special feeling you get when you have an incredible interaction with a Disney Cast Member. I’m sure this a trip for AAsher and his family, will be one they will never forget.
