A dream is a wish your heart makes

When you wish upon a star.
Makes no difference who you are.
ANYTHING your heart desires, will come true.

That is the truth for this trip. I was lucky enough to receive an invitation to go to Disney World with 2 of my sisters. (The joys of being the single sister!) We spent 8 days in beautiful hanging out with Mickey and friends. We had a wonderful trip. It was my sister, Julie's kiddos, first time at Disney! After 8 days of fun they decided they LOVED it and never wanted to go home. Frequent vistors, Sophia and Chloe showed everyone how to have a great time.

The kiddos are SO excited for the LONG plane ride!

Now for my favorite part of the trip. Seeing family friends, Glenn and Todd! As always, they were absolutely wonderful to us. We were able to see them a few times during the trip and it just reconfirmed that they need to move back to Utah. We all took a vote! We WIN! They both work for Disney and were able to show us some behind the scenes magic. Through out the trip they were able to make all of the kiddos dreams come true. The kiddos were on cloud nine and little do they know they will probably not get to do all the stuff ever again.

During our trip we also were able to get off Disney property and dine with our favorite Florida gentlemen. We laughed and chatted for hours. We didn't get any pictures this trip because we were too busy chatting away. So I busted out some old ones.

This is the only picture we got of either one of them. And Todd is hard at working! LYLAS!

The Parsons gang watching the Nemo Show at Animal Kingdom! This show was incredible!

Glenn & Todd's first wish granting. Private meeting with the Prince and Princesses! That's right, I said a private meeting with the princesses. For our girlies, they were in heaven. They had so much fun talking and taking pictures with the princess. Dylan didn't want to take any pictures with girls so we had to ask the Princesses to leave. I'm sure that was a first. The cast was wonderful to our family and we all still can't believe Glenn arranged this for us.

Funny story with this picture. Our first morning, we are all getting ready to head to the Magic Kingdom. We all meet in Julie and RD's room and Mom is in a slight panic that her wedding ring was missing. She had "left" her ring on the night stand and our poor innocent Chrissy was blamed for taking the ring. (I'm sorry Chrissy!) After tearing the entire hotel room apart multiple times, sending a search party to look in the gardens below the balcony and much panic we headed to the park. When we arrived back to the hotel after our long day my mom found her ring. Thank goodness!

GIRLS NIGHT OUT!

After taking a short break at the hotel the kiddos revolted and decided that didn't want anything to do with going back to the parks. Well that didn't stop us, ladies! We headed back to MGM studios and saw Fantastmic and rode the Tower of Terror multiple times. It was so much fun to be kid free and be with my sissy's (minus our Nat) and Mom!

Glenn and Todd wish granting #2. Dylan LOVES Star Wars. All he wanted to do the entire trip is the Jedi Academy. Our first day at MGM realized that this was a HUGE attraction and the entire Academy was filled for that day. Our sweet Dylan was so disappointed. Glenn and Todd wanted to make sure Dylan was able to "use the force" and battle with Darth Vader. They called a friend and made sure Dylan was able to be a Jedi!

Look at his jump during his fight! Way to use the force, Dylan!

Our favorite ride! The newest Toy Story ride, Woody's Round up! Mom and I were 1-1. Looks like we need to go back to break the tie!

This might be one of my favorite pictures of the entire trip. Right when we got to Animal Kingdom the kiddos wanted to go on the Rapids Ride. None of us girls wanted to get wet so we sent the "Dad's" with the kiddos. Apparently Cole was less than amused with being soaked. He was covering his ears almost the entire ride screaming!

Glenn and Todd wish granting #3

Cole is a mini "Indiana Jones". We saw the Indiana Jones stunt show the 2nd day were there. He was so cute during the whole show and couldn't stop talking about it. Once Glenn and Todd found out how much he loved Indie they made special arrangements for us to go to the show again and meet Indie. Cole was so cute when he got to meet Indie! Once again, Glenn and Todd out did themselves.

BEST rollercoaster! Rock n' Roller Coaster

Jennifer & John's girls before we left asked how many swimming days the would have. :) They were less concerned with Disney. All the kiddos are little fish and love being in the water. We were able to squeeze in some much needed pool time.

We had a wonderful trip and it couldn't have come at a better time for me. It was nice to be in beautiful weather, be with people I love and be away from the daily grind. I will never out grow Disney and loved watching the magic through the kiddos eyes. Thanks to the people made this trip possible and so wonderful!

Warning! This could happen to you if you fall asleep next to Dylan! He thought he was so funny we had to take a picture of this. Love you Mom!

And if you are lucky enough you get to see this cute face on the flight home! After 8 days spent together, we are FINALLY friends! (Well as long as her mom is holding her or out of sight!)

Until our next trip! Thanks again Todd and Glenn! We love you and are counting down the days until you come see us!
