Many people work and save and hope they can get the time off for that Walt Disney World trip they were finally able to book. Of course, then there are the few out there who have a boss like Gypsy Gilliam who closed down her entire restaurant and took all of her employees to the most magical place on earth.
Gypsy Gilliam is the owner of State Farmers Market Restaurant in Raleigh, North Carolina, and a few months ago, she gave her 20 employees some news. Not only was she going to take all of them to Orlando for a trip to Walt Disney World, but they could bring their families and she was paying for it all.
“We were told we’d be going to Disney World, and of course nobody believed it,” said Jasmine Kamel, an employee.
Everyone had heard that Gilliam was going to take them all to Walt Disney World after Christmas and the rumors grew stronger, but still, no-one could believe it.
“I did not believe it,” said Jessica Burr, another employee. “I thought it was crazy.”
Last week, though, Gilliam closed up her restaurant for a few days and took everyone with their families to Walt Disney World for a fully paid vacation. All Gypsy wanted was for her employees to have fun and the time of their lives.
“The room, the board, the food, the rides — everything was free for us,” employee Nelson Ellison said.
“I have a 5-year-old son,” added Burr. “I don’t know what the future holds, but I know this is something I wouldn’t be able to do for him. I am forever grateful to Gypsy, and I don’t have any idea how to pay her back.”
Employees said that she simply enjoyed seeing them happy and she said that without her staff, her restaurant wouldn’t exist. Gypsy said that bringing them to Walt Disney World is the least she could do as she is “blessed to be able to give them a little magic in their lives.”
