Disney done right!





What an amazing trip to Disneyworld! I don't have enough space or time to give all the details but I wish I could. We had a blast. It was fun, exciting, tiring, new, adventurous, thrilling and so many more things.

So all the theme parks were one aspect of our trip. We went to magic kingdom, animal kingdom, epcot center, disney MGM, and sea world. We learned that McKenzie really likes roller coasters (just like her mama), Halie really likes the rides that have a really big drop (like splash mountain), and the characters were pure magic to Sadie. It was fun to be able to go on a ride with the older girls and share that experience with them. They are so fun. Sadie was super good. We were a little worried but it turned out to be for no reason.

The other part of our trip was where we stayed. It was a resort called 'Give Kids the World.' I have never seen anything so heartwarming in my life. This resort is strictly for kids who are getting wishes granted to them. The resort has 60 full time staff and 5,000 volunteers; 5,000 angels. They had a ton of activities at the resort, like parties, karaoke, life size candy land game, dance and limbo contests and so many more. It was so touching to see kids who were in wheel chairs, or deformed or bald who were dancing or singing the same as everyone else. They were able to let loose and have a great time and not feel different. Every child there understood them. We met families who understood exactly what we went through the past year, and form a bond with them through only a smile.

While the parks were absolutey fabulous (and I wouldn't have traded our time there) the 'Give Kids the World' resort gave us so much to be thankful for. What a blessing it was for our family to see the selfless service of so many people in our behalf.
