The parents say Hayyn would have been happy to get a wave from Jessie — and it was a huge bonus when Woody flagged down Jessie to give the little girl a hug.
Hayyn was waiting on Jessie for the whole parade … even wearing a Jessie dress, while holding Jessie and Woody dolls.
Of course, following posting their video they became aware of the allegations at Sesame Place and Chuck E. Cheese, and Harold and Candice say everyone’s child deserves at least some kind of acknowledgment — even if it’s just a wave or blown kiss from their favorite character.

There’s no doubt that case helped fuel online interest in Hayyn’s Disney World hug — a prime example of how these interactions should ideally play out … for all kids.
