We left on Thursday and the kids were beyond excited to get on an airplane. Carter has flown before but this was the first time for the girls. They did pretty good, thank goodness for the iPad and movies.
We arrived around noon on Thursday and grabbed lunch and went swimming at the hotel. This was a special trip as we were able to go with the charity, Kidd's Kids. It is an organization that gives a trip to Disney for terminally and chronically ill children. My work is a sponsor and I manage the partnership, so I was lucky enough to be able to go and experience the trip with my family. It made me so thankful for my healthy children and was a truly magical experience.
On Thursday night they had a welcome dinner for all of the families. Rachael Platen was there and my kids love her song, Fight Song. Then we got to meet Elsa and Anna which the kids were so excited about, especially the girls. They sang along to the songs, danced and were simply in heaven.
On Friday we went to Magic Kingdom. The kids were in awe! They were just so excited to see the castle, the characters, the rides. It was exhausting but so worth it to see the joy in their eyes.
We then went to Epcot for the evening to have a dessert party with the Kidd's Kids group and watch the fireworks.
On Saturday we spent the entire day at Hollywood Studios. That is probably my favorite park.
Each morning we ate at the hotel restaurant and they had different characters.
We had to take a boat from our hotel to the park.
The Osborn Family lights is AMAZING. It even started snowing. It was very cool to see.
Brooklyn LOVES Ariel. She is obsessed, so she was so EXCITED to meet her and was pretty much in awe the whole time.
On Monday, we had a goodbye dinner with the Kidd's Kids group and were able to meet some characters and hand out ornaments to the families.
Overall we were so blessed to go on this trip and it was so humbling to experience the joy with my children. They loved every minute.

I've been waiting for you to post pictures! I'm probably the last to see since I am not on Facebook :) I am so glad your family got to go. Makes me want to go back during the Christmas holiday sometime!
