Castle! Castle! We went to the Castle! (Disney)

The Castle and just so you know, Addison will tell you this is Snow White's castle, not that silly Cinderella. :)


Minnie Ears!!!


This is the ONLY character he wanted to stop and see, Mater! Lightning was in the shop. :(


Turkey leg anyone? LOL!


Chilling at Disney Studios.


Buzz and Woody. A dream come true!


She could not stop smiling or hugging her. She really does LOVE Snow White!



First Character meeting of the day, Pluto!


On the way to meet Buzz!


Dancing with Lotso


All I have to say is the cheesy Disney commercials about it being all Magical and the Happiest Place on Earth are no so cheesy! I was brought to tears so many times simply because of the smiles on my children's faces and the shine in their eyes.
God is so amazing and so good! I have been praising him all weekend for blessing us with this trip. It will be one that won't soon be forgotten. (In fact Addison wants to go back.)

Give a Day, Get a Disney Day!!!!




Before the Disney give a day, get a day promotion even started, I was telling everyone and anyone who would listen about this fantastic opportunity. I don't know how many people actually did it, but I know we sure did! It was fantastic! You registered starting on January 1, 2010 and then they contacted you with a list of volunteer opportunities in your area. Children as young as 6 could participate!
I immediately registered John, Xavier, and myself. Even my mom and niece volunteered. They donated their tickets to a charity.
Unfortunately John was unable to get his hours in before all the free tickets had been passed out. But Xavier and I got our hours done and we are 1 day away from our day at Disney. We are so excited! (Addison gets in for free because she is still 2.)

I posted some pictures of what Xavier and I had to do. The charity we volunteered for needed stuffed Easter eggs for a egg hunt they hold for homeless children. Each person was to donate 75 stuffed eggs, so 150 total for us. It was such an easy task, but one that brought us a lot of joy. Not only because we were going to get a day at Disney, but because we were helping out homeless children who don't always have a lot to look forward too.

Even Addison helped out!

( Once we get back from our little vacation, I will post pictures. )
