Perhaps no one is more excited about the opening of the new Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World than this pint-sized super fan.

"My daughter really gets into her characters," Candace Harmon said of her 4-year-old daughter, Vanessa. "She gets mad when I call her by her name and prefers I call her by who she is dressed up as."

In this case, Rey. And so when tiny Rey met adult-sized Rey, sweetness ensued.

"[Vanessa] loves that Rey is brave and a strong warrior character," her mom said.

A strong warrior character who is willing to have a hug fest with a little fan, of course.

Though the video was taken a few months ago, her mom shared it this week on Instagram because of "our excitement for Galaxy's Edge."

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge opened to the public on Thursday at Walt Disney World and in June at Disneyland. It is the largest expansion in the parks' history.

The family of four -- Candace, husband Rick Harmon, Vanessa and her little brother Jack -- are "huge Disney fans," Candace Harmon said.

"I have been told that we have inspired other families to go to Disney and to dress their kids up and that means a lot." she said. "I do this for fun and to bring smiles to others."

The Walt Disney Co. is the parent company of ABC News.
