Disney Fan Who Is Blind Feels How Favorite Characters Look | Happily TV - video Dailymotion

Happily

A Disney fan who is blind beams with joy as she feels the faces of her favorite characters during a surprise Disneyland trip. Raelin "Rae” Towe, aged nine, from Ventura, California, has been a fan of the fantastical franchise for years, showing extra love for her favorite character, Goofy. And so, during Rae’s birthday celebrations on January 31, her family surprised her with news she was heading to the California theme park that very day. Seeing a "big dimple smile" on Rae's face is what the family live for, mom Shelby, 32, said, and over the next two days she walked around the park, meeting the likes of Princess Tiana and Cinderella, getting a princess makeover. There were meetings with Donald Duck, Sadness, Snow White, The Evil Queen, The Mad Hatter, Alice and others, too – but there was one character whose interaction was extra special. As Rae met her beloved Goofy, she felt the character's face to see how he looks, in an emotional moment her mom captured on video, with her family fighting back tears behind the camera.
