The little girl is grateful to Mickey Mouse for his amazing act of kindness.
Leilani Hutton, a 5-year-old from Darlington, England, recently went to Disney World in Orlando, Florida, and came home with a teddy bear.
According to British news agency SWNS, Hatton’s family travelled around 4,200 miles on their journey, and they kept their bear, named Joffrey, with them the whole time.

Her grandmother, Lynn Cullen, said Hutton would take Jofri “everywhere” with him.
But then, “one day, all of a sudden, we realized the bear wasn’t with us anymore. We went back to the hotel and thought, ‘Where’s the bear?'”

The family reviewed photos from their trip to see when Jofri went missing and determined he must have been left behind at Epcot or the Magic Kingdom.
Karen said her family took Jofri to each of the parks to meet the Disney princesses.
