Let me just tell you a little bit about the amazing week I had. We went on a family vacation last week. We went to Walt Disney World for 5 days and hit up all 4 theme parks it was to celebrate Jr's 6th b-day. On our 3rd day we were at Epcot you can just picture this all of us arguing like the crazy cubans that we are, fighting over where we should go first and so on. We finally decided on a location the Finding Nemo ride which is so cute you really must go & see it. Well back to the story when we were about to get on the ride 2 Disney Cast Members pulled us aside & they shouted "You & your family are the winners of the Year of a Million Dreams contest!
Now before i tell you what prize we won i have to go on the record for those of you who don't personally know me. I am a HUGE i mean HUGE Disney fanatic...i am not kidding i love anything and everything Disney. So you can imagine my reaction when we won!!!! The prize we won was so fabulous i couldn't believe what i was hearing i had to have them repeat it twice..lol This particular prize is given out only once a month and there is only 12 total to be given out we were the second family to win the prize this year. I felt so totally honored I was 1 of the lucky 12!!!
We won 45 minutes of private time with 18 of Disney's greatest characters. They arranged a private area for all the characters to meet with us later on that afternoon. This was so incredible the kids were excited (not as much as I was...lol) We got to see all the Princesses and their handsome Princes and lets not forget the Fab 5 Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, & Pluto but they weren't alone they brought Chip & Dale and Donald's girlfriend Daisy along!
The area they took us to was decorated so lovely they had a beautiful enchanted backdrop that had the castle in the far back it was a picture perfect setting. Not only did we get one on one time with all the characters we were given autograph books signed by all of them & not just with their signatures but little sayings to each of us it was very nice. Along with the autograph book came a professional photographer for the whole time we were there. The photographer was snapping away and taking tons of pictures. Then to top it off FREE 5x7 coupons to get the photos that were taken of us was that not great? I couldn't believe it i never win anything some would say i am down right unlucky.
WOW this was a great gift. I am so glad we won, oh did i mention that the prize was for your average family of 4 but they allowed all 13 of us yes you read it correctly 13 of us to participate which i thought was wonderful all in itself.
I don't think i will ever experience anything as great as that for as long as i live, i know i am a grown up but i still feel like a little kid inside especially when I'm at Walt Disney World.
