It was a moment that took her breath away and a memory she'll never forget.
Four-year-old Shaylee Mansfield who is from Texas, is deaf. She was on vacation with her family at Disney World in Orlando, Florida when something unexpected happened.
In her own world of silence, sign language is the only way she can communicate with everyone else around her, so imagine Shaylee's surprise when one of Disney's most famous cartoon characters began chatting with her in sign language.
It was all captured on film as her parents captured the interaction between their daughter and the fairy, Tinkerbell.
It was surprising to her because cartoon characters are never seen using sign language at during during Disney films, however the theme parks are moving towards becoming more inclusive to those with disabilities.
It's not just Tinkerbell who uses American Sign Language. Even three-fingered Minnie Mouse is able to have a conversation with those who are deaf.
'When I was growing up, I never expected anyone to sign. That was the world I grew up in',' says her mom, who is also deaf.
Her father is appreciative of the change that seems to be slowly occurring.
'It made her proud of her own language. She made that connection. The moments I remember the most in my life are when I see someone truly happy. It brings out the best in me and makes me become a kid again, seeing this through their eyes.'
On a second visit to the theme park, paid for by the company, the little girl is seen looking equally surprised when wife of Mickey is seen telling Shaylee that she is learning how to sign.
The video which was shared by Disney on YouTube has garnered more than five millions views since it was uploaded last month.
'Every family that steps through the magical gates of a Disney Park is unique and special in their own way,' the company said.

Disney DO seem to think of everything, don't they! Well done to all the staff - the look on the childs face is wonderful. Wasn't there a Santa who communicated with a deaf child last year? Heart warming stuff.[CN]
迪士尼的执行人什么都想到了,不是吗?这些员工做的好!孩子的脸色真的太好啦。难道不是去年圣诞老人跟这个聋女孩谈过话吗?好暖心的事。
Yes, Disney thinks of everything - as long as it puts money in their pockets and leads the sheep to think of then as good old uncle Walt. This would be a great, uplifting story on the news or a talk show, BUT as it is, it's a 3 year old Disney commercial.[CN]
没错,迪士尼什么都想到了 - 只要他把钱装进口袋,引领“绵羊们”像好老人沃特叔叔那样。这很不错,新闻和脱口秀的热门话题,但实际上,它是三年迪士尼的商业。
The look of pure joy on her face.. shows that this is so needed in our society. Sign language should be taught in schools.[CN]
脸上洋溢着纯真的欢乐...这说明这种事情在我们社会是很需要的。学校该教教手语。
My son and his wife are teaching my granddaughter some signs. She can hear just fine but she signed the word for "more" before she spoke it. Children can pick up on second and third languages so quickly. It's a real shame that they don't teach a second language in most schools here until you go to high school.[CN]
我的儿子和他老婆正在教我曾外孙女一些手语。她听力没问题,但是还没会说话就会做手语了。孩子们可以很快学会第二第三语言。真的很惭愧,很多学校只有到了高中才开始教二外。
Well done to who-ever is Tinkerbell, what a great person you've become[CN]
扮演小仙女的那个人,做的好。你是多么好的一个人啊。
I actually use to work at Disney in Tinker Bell's department. Many of us knew sign because...shocker some of our fellow cast members were deaf. Disney is an Equal opportunity employer. I learned Spanish in school and Japanese in college so I could write notes to people in their native language. Many of us did that because we cared. And there was nothing more magical that seeing a child who previously was excluded become included by a character they love. Even 10 years on, when I'm in the park I remember that it's a magical experience for all kids...and if I can make their trip more special I will. Disney had a heart for every child, so does his cast.[CN]
我过去在迪斯尼小叮当的公寓工作过。我们很多人都知道手语因为...说来你不信我们一些演艺人员是聋子。迪士尼是个一视同仁的雇主。我在学校学了西班牙语,大学学了日语,因为我可以用当地语言写纸条给这些人。我们很多人这么做是因为我们在乎。让一个过去被排斥的小孩,现在加入到自己喜欢的卡通人物中,没有比这更神奇的了。即使10年过去了,当我再回到这公园我都会想起这些孩子的神奇经历...如果可以让他们旅程更特别,我愿意。迪士尼关心每一个小孩,也关心每一个演艺人。
This is what being inclusive really means. It isn't politically correct rubbish, it's about caring and being thoughtful. Well done to the staff at Disney and the management for realizing how much this means to families with a disability.[CN]
包容就是这个意思啊。它不是什么政治方向正确的垃圾,是关乎关怀和体谅。迪士尼员工和管理层做的好,意识到这对于残疾人家庭是多么重要。
That's great. Who doesn't love Disney...aside from the crowds and lines that is...[CN]
太赞了,谁不爱迪士尼呢?除了拥挤和排队以外...
This is obviously a wonderful experience and not a staged one. The look on Shaylee's face when Tink signed with her, absolutely magical. I'm glad if it's being used to encourage those in the deaf community to feel more a part of society, whether or not they visit Disneyland. Well done.[CN]
明显是个奇妙的额经历,而不只是舞台剧。小叮当跟她做手语时,Shaylee脸上的笑容啊,真是神奇。我很开心,如果这事被用在聋人社区,让他们感觉是社会的一部分,无论他们参不参观迪士尼。做得好。
