Hi there! I’m Bolt—yes, the Bolt! Super bark, laser eyes, lightning bolt on my side… well, sort of. Okay, okay—I don’t actually have powers. Not the kind you see on TV, anyway.

For a long time, I thought I did. I believed I was a real-life superdog, sent on epic missions to protect Penny from evil agents and terrifying green-eyed men. Every bark, every leap—I thought it mattered. I thought it was real.

And then… I found out the truth.

I wasn’t on a mission. I was on a TV show. Everything I believed in was staged—special effects, fake explosions, even the “danger.” At first, I was scared. I mean, who am I if I’m not a superhero?

But then I met real friends. Mittens—a street-smart cat who taught me how to live outside the spotlight. Rhino—a hamster who believed in me even when I didn’t. And Penny… my person. My real person. She never needed me to have powers. She just needed me to be there. To love her. To protect her. To trust her. And guess what? I still do feel like a hero… every time I get to meet someone like you.

So guess what I learned? You don’t need a super bark to be a hero. You just need heart. Loyalty. Courage. And maybe a few good friends to help you find your way.

Sometimes the biggest adventure is figuring out who you are when no one's calling “action!”

And now? I’m not fighting villains or running from explosions. I’m doing something even cooler… I’m meeting you right here at Disney World—the most magical place on Earth! Honestly, I’ve chased bad guys across rooftops, dodged helicopters, and even jumped off trains… but nothing beats sniffing around this place and meeting awesome folks like you.

There’s something special about Disney World. It’s like everywhere you turn, there’s adventure, wonder, and someone new to believe in. And for a dog like me, who used to think the whole world was just a TV set, this place feels real. The fun? Real. The smiles? Real. The magic? You bet it’s real. And if you ever need a sidekick? I’ve got your back.

So, let me ask you something: If you were here at Disney World, and you could do one incredible thing today—not with superpowers, just with your heart—what would it be? If you could have any superpower, what would it be—and how would you use it? And if you don’t need powers to be someone’s hero… who are you a hero to right now?

Because if there’s one thing I know for sure—it’s this: You don’t need a cape, a lightning bolt or laser eyes to make a difference. You just need to believe. And I believe in you.
