An 11-year-old girl was able to truly experience the Disney magic recently thanks to a princess who knew how to communicate with her in American Sign Language.
"[Princess Anna] must have seen us signing to each other," Jesse Tapley, 38, said. "Sometimes the characters will know, like, 'What's your name?' or 'Nice to meet you' and that's awesome. But when she said, 'Can I sign?' I was like, 'Yeah, go ahead.'"knew how to sign more than basic phrases. They engaged in a full ASL conversation about Zoe's favorite rides at Disneyland and how she had been adopted from Congo.
The interaction brought tears to both Jesse Tapley's and Jeanette Tapley's eyes. It was the first time a park character had ever spoken that in-depth with their daughter, without them having to act as an interpreter. "I progressed, progressed, progressed. And now my language is just full ASL," Zoe said. "At Disney, I was so excited because I got to share with my friends and I got to sign and everything."A Disney spokesperson said interactions like the one Zoe experienced are "what Disney is all about."
After capturing the emotional meeting on video, Jeanette Tapley decided to post the clip on TikTok, where it has since garnered more than 2.1 million views."I'm happy to see that people love my video," Zoe said. "These people love it ... and there's no bullying. It's been really, really nice."
