We Did It!!


We went to Disney World for a family vacation!! This was our first family vacation since Scott had been deployed for a year to Iraq in 2004.

I was in Orlando for the CTMH convention ( OMG! It was amazing!!!) so Scott and the girls met me and we did Disney for 4 days. What an awesome time!The only reason we decied we could attempt this was because of the guest assistance pass. Due to Sofie’s special needs we were able to obtain this and it made all the difference.We didn’t want to have to use it that is for sure. We even tried not to, but after waiting in long lines, her anxiety coming out in hand biting and being agressive we decided to go for it. Every single Cast Member at the parks was very helpful and did everything they could to make Sofie feel special and welcome!Sofie LOVES the characters and thinks Mickey is there just for her. The really neat thing in this picture other than the other 400 I took is that here I have captured pure joy on Sofie’s face. Not a scripted smile, but she is genuinely HAPPY!!! I was so choked up at seeing this I almost forgot to take the picture. This was one special moment and I will not forget.If you have a child with special needs and you think they would like to go to Disney ( Sofie is a sensory seeker so this was fab!) then I highly reccomend going!
