Today we played at Disney's Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom. The Make A Wish were able to get our family of four tickets ($60 per ticket) for the Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom from 7pm to 12am. Everyone else were going to purchase theirs when we arrived, but it was sold out. Mom went to ask if we could get just two more for Jocie and Taylor and the man was so nice and gave everyone a ticket. When Mom went to give him her credit card he told her it was complimentary. She was so socked she started to cry. He asked her not to tell anyone and her response was, "Well I'm sure everyone in line will think you turned me down from my tears." That was so amazing!!! After that we split up. Kevin, Alexz, Ron's family and us went to the Animal Kingdom and Mom, Dad, Teniele, Ruben and Joshua stayed at the Magic Kingdom. We made the mistake of going on the Kali River Rapids first and got soaked. We then had to make our way to the Expedition Everest Ride next. Can I just say...AWESOME! Next we went to DinoLand and went on the Dinosaur Ride which scared Taylor and Brady to death. We got a really cute picture from the ride but ended up losing it somewhere):
When we got back to our villa, we found a decorated Christmas tree and presents under the tree!
Kacie and Jocie loved the Mt. Everest Roller Coaster. Because of Kacie's Make-A-Wish buttons we were able to go to the front of the line and so she was able to ride it 7 times with different people.
This picture was taken after we went on the African Killimanjaro Safari. It was fun to see all the different animals. We then were able to see part of the Mickey's Jungle Parade and then we went to the show... It's Tough to be a Bug. It was under the Tree of Life pictured below.
Teniele and Joshua back at Magic Kingom with Donald Duck. 
After the Animal Kingdom closed at 6pm we went back to the Magic Kingdom for the Very Merry Christmas Party. It was a lot of fun too but very crowded. After the show in front of the castle we headed over to Tomorrowland where we saw the Monsters Inc show. It was really funny and even Brady got put on the big screen but was too shy. After that we rode Space Mountain and then watched the amazing fireworks. Tinkerbell even flew by the castle. The castle was decorated with lights for Christmas and it would change colors to purple, blue, pink, yellow and teal. It was breath taking. We split up again and Stacie and I took Taylor and Brady to see the Christmas parade. Ron and Scott took Kacie, Jocie and Ryan to ride some more rides. During the parade they were giving out sugar cookies and hot chocolate. After the parade we took them on the Teapots, Dumbo, the Carrousel and a Pooh and Tiger ride. When we finally made it all back together and were leaving it started snowing on mainstreet. There is nothing more magical than Disney World!!!

Such an amazing trip... thank you for allowing us to be part of this. You are a wonderful mother Tammy and did a fantastic job coordinating a group of 15. AND Kacie looks fantastic... so thankful for the miracle of her new life. Love you!
It sounds like the trip of a lifetime, for sure! Glad you all had so much fun and grateful that Kacie was healthy enough to actually enjoy it! Were you guys sick today? I noticed Kacie wasn't in YW's when I was visiting. Hopefully everyone's feeling okay and ready to start back to school tomorrow. We're not ready at our house, but not a lot we can do at this point, I guess! Love you guys! And we wish you the best new year, too!
I am glad they let Kacie go to the front of the line. That is a huge BONUS! The castle was beautiful and it's awesome they decorated a tree in your house for you guys! I am so glad you had a blast on your trip!
