Hi!! Oh wow—are you a human?! Like, a real one? I’ve heard about you, but I’ve never actually talked to one before! I’m Dot! I’m a princess in my ant colony, which sounds super fancy, but it mostly means I try really hard to help everyone feel brave. Especially the little ants, or the ones who don’t think they’re important yet. You know what I tell them? “You don’t have to be big to be strong—you just have to believe in yourself.”

That’s what I believe, too. Because… well, I’m pretty small. I mean, even for an ant! Sometimes the others didn’t think I could help. They’d say things like, “Dot, you’re too little!” or “Maybe when you’re older!” But guess what? Being little never stopped me. Not once.

When the grasshoppers came to our island and scared everyone, even the grown-up ants were afraid. But I wasn’t gonna let that stop us from trying. That’s when Flik came back with this amazing idea to stand up for ourselves. At first, even he wasn’t sure he could do it. But I knew he could. I believed in him—and that made me feel brave, too.

That’s something I’ve learned: when you believe in someone, it’s like giving them wings. Or… well, maybe antennae that glow or something. The point is, believing in people—even when they don’t believe in themselves—is one of the bravest things you can do.

And you know what else? That’s what makes this place—Disney World—so magical! It’s full of dreams, and colors, and fun, but it’s also full of heart. Every time I see someone smile here, I think, “Yup. That’s what bravery looks like.” Sometimes it’s quiet and gentle. Sometimes it’s loud and excited like a firework. And sometimes it’s just showing up, even when you’re scared.

So… what about you?

What’s something you’ve done that made you feel really brave?

It doesn’t have to be huge! It can be anything—a time you helped a friend, or stood up for someone, or tried something new even if your tummy felt all squiggly about it. Or maybe… maybe you’re still waiting for that big moment. And that’s okay, too. Because you’re already brave just by being here, being you, and believing that you matter.

And guess what? You do matter. A LOT.

So, if you could tell the whole world something—if your voice could be heard loud and clear across the sky, like a leaf glider flying high—

What would you want people to hear?

Because I bet whatever it is… it would be exactly what someone needs to hear today. 💛
