'It was one of those things where she got to feel the magic rather than being filtered through mom and dad.'
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.
"We've been to Disney many times and by far it was our best interaction we've ever had," Jesse Tapley said."It was one of those things where she got to feel the magic rather than being filtered through mom and dad.". When Zoe was adopted from Congo seven years ago, she didn't know any sign language.She has since worked hard at building her language skills with her parents and at school.
"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." It's about"that feeling of belonging to the Disney magic, and the authentic, emotional moments of connection with our characters and our cast," the spokesperson said.
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.When Princess Anna can sign and have a full conversation with my deaf child. 🥹 Zoe has never been able to chat with a princess without Jesse or myself interpreting. This was magical.
