The most amazing place in the world!!!!!!

We spent the day with Papa Mark and Mama Corinne again! We all went to the Animal Kingdom! Blake met Mickey and Minnie Mouse again, He also met Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, Chip and Dale, Miss Bunny (Thumper's girlfriend) and Pocahontas!!!! He had lots of fun going on the Wildlife Safari! We then headed down to watch the Lion King live show! While Blake and Alexia watched the show with Papa Mark and Mama Corinne, Mommy and Daddy snuck off to ride on Expedition Everest!!!! It was a blast! Then we all got back together. Blake rode on a raft ride with Papa Mark, Daddy and Mommy and also went on Dinosaur with us as well!
Through the whole ride on Dinosaur Blake clung to my arm. When we got off the ride he said, "I held on really tight to Mommy's arm to protect her." I thought that was the cutest, bravest thing!!!!
We left Animal Kingdom and headed back to Give Kids the World to show Papa Mark and Mama Corinne how amazing it was. They saw our villa and even went swimming with us before they headed back to their hotel. We were sad that they were leaving to go home the next day, but so happy that they got to come at all!!!!!
Once they left we went to eat dinner, then headed to the the Castle of Miracles to make Blake and Alexia's pillows and to put Blake's Star in the Star Fairy's box, so we could find it on the ceiling of the Castle before we leave on Sunday!!!
The kids really enjoyed making the pillows and putting Blake's star in the box! One of the volunteer angels showed Blake an amazing one of a kind clock that talks and interacts with the kids! He LOVED it!!!!
The entire castle is a wonderland for kids. There are all kinds of drawers and doors that make cool noises and there is a wishing well that makes sounds like it is bottomless!!! Inside Ol' Elmer is a cute little "bee hive" and a play area! Both kids had a blast in there!!!!
After that we went to get Blake his "white milk" at the Ice Cream Palace. Then Blake rode on the car ride and the elephant ride and we went back to the Villa to rest!

Wow, I have never posted this many pictures on the blog before!!! The day was so amazing!!!! We woke up and drove the short distance to the hotel where Mama Corinne and Papa Mark were staying. They decided to take their winter vacation at the same time we did and went to Orlando a day before us!!! They paid their own way and we are SO thankful that they could share with Blake in this amazing dream come true!!!!

We then drove to Disney World's Magic Kingdom for Blake's first full Make-A-Wish day! We rode the train around to the back of the park. Toon town, where Blake got to tour Mickey Mouse's house and he got to meet Mickey and Minnie. The moment he met them was amazing. He was so excited and it seemed like he didn't think it was real, he was so thrilled and gave them both HUGE hugs!
We also toured Minnie's house, then Blake went on his first roller coaster. He went on Goofy's airplane roller coaster, which is geared toward younger children and he LOVED it!!!!! He then got to drive a race car with his daddy! We all went on Dumbo, Blake rode with Mama Corinne and Mommy and Daddy rode together!!!!
After riding Dumbo and playing in the play area for a moment we decided to grab something to eat! Both kids decided it would be a good time to nap, so while Mama Corrine and Papa Mark were still eating and the kids were napping on them, Daddy and Mommy decided to go on the Haunted Mansion ride! It was a lot of fun! We met back up with the rest of the group. Everyone except for Papa Mark went on the It's a Small World ride. Then we went on the Peter Pan ride and the Winnie the Pooh ride!!!! Blake and Alexia loved all three rides!!!!
We had to go pick up wristbands for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party (they were closing the park at 7pm to everyone without a wristband and having a big party and a parade followed by a show and fireworks at Cinderella's Castle). After we picked up the wristbands we stayed at Cinderella's Castle for a live show about dreams and wishes coming true! It was wonderful! Even the adults were entertained!!!
We went to the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House, then on the Safari Boat Tour and rode Pirates of the Caribbean twice! After that, Mama Corinne and Papa Mark took Alexia for a walk while Daddy, Mommy and Blake went on Splash Mountain (Blake was JUST tall enough to ride) and the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad roller coaster! He LOVED both rides and wanted to go over and over again!!! We were both thrilled that he enjoyed them so much! We both love to ride roller coasters, so it is GREAT that he does too!!!!
Once we were done we met Papa Mark and Mama Corinne for dinner, then found front row seats for the Very Merry Christmas Parade! The parade was wonderful! All of the Disney Characters, right there in front of us! Some of them even came and shook Blake's and Alexia's hands!!! The prince from the Princess and the Frog even winked at Alexia!
After the parade we watched the fireworks, then took two very tired kids back to the Villa to get some rest!!!!
What an amazing day that was for all of us!!!!
