José was an 8-year-old homeless boy who did not speak.
According to Bessie Perry-Garrett, who accompanied José on a bus trip to Disney World in Orlando two years ago, the boy was sitting by the window as the bus pulled into the Disney theme park. His eyes widened as he saw hedge sculptures of Mickey, Donald Duck and Goofy. All at once, José started hitting Perry-Garrett's knee and shouting, ``BG! BG! Honest-to-God, BG, this is Disney?''
