A Florida mom took to Facebook to publicly thank a Disney's Animal Kingdom employee who helped her cope with her claustrophobia so she could enjoy a ride with her two children on Monday.
After evacuating from her home to a hotel ahead of Hurricane Dorian and seeking a few hours of respite with her kids at Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Orlando, Fla., a mother of two had her claustrophobia triggered on a ride — but was luckily comforted by a kind employee who she has since publicly thanked in a Facebook post.
Thomas, her husband David Patrick, and their two children — 3-year-old David and 1-year-old Julia — had recently evacuated, opting to take a break at the park with their friends. Thomas was eventually talked into joining the group on the safari ride, which is what started to make her feel anxious. As soon as the door closed , she almost asked to be let off — but the worker allowed her to sit in the open handicapped spot, which calmed her nerves.
"She told the [ride operator] to stop the ride and said, 'Oh, let her sit down,'" Thomas says."She asked me if it was okay, how did I feel, to try to make me feel better about the ride. It was not working.""She said it so nice," Thomas said."It was the most sincere, nonjudgmental... You think that as an adult, no one is looking out for you and your wellbeing.
"At 33, I don't mind missing rides at parks. I am happy to take the stairs. I am always content to wait for the next bus or for a tight spot to pass for a more open option," Thomas wrote."But I am a mom now. And I don't want my children to miss out on anything or me to miss moments of their childhood. So as I was trying to breathe and get through this, my baby didn't miss a beat.
