“He lights up," said Heidi Riehl, a spokesperson for non-profit Olive Crest. "It’s like they speak his language."
The organization specializes in helping at-risk children, and Riehl told InsideEdition.com they plan a day at Disneyland each year for their participating families.
The toddler, who was not identified for privacy reasons, was accompanied by a sign language assistant.
“In that moment, the coach was telling Mickey and Minnie exactly what to say,” Riehl explained.

“It certainly was a significant moment for him,” she said. “You can just tell by his reaction. He felt very known.”
