I think the answer is this.

Our generation did not have a lot of things we wanted and that others could afford as children, but we grew up and worked and got a lot of them for ourselves.

The kids who didn't get to see Mickey Mouse are the adults with tears in their eyes when their kids see him.

Things that are looked forward to and planned for and saved for are very precious. Everyone needs to have this engraved on their heart.
