Special Delivery


Ireland got a very special letter in the mail the other day... It was from Mickey Mouse!
I don't know if you all remember, but when we went to Disney World in 2006 Ireland left her very special bear, Bob, on the bus taking us to the airport. She was heart broken. Luckily, Disney is amazing and they tracked him down and mail him back to Ireland.
We have always talked about how Bob just stayed a few days extra and hung out with Mickey and friends... went to the parks after hours, had a sleep over, and met all the characters.

When Ireland went to Disney World with Nana for her 5 year old trip she made a thank you card for Mickey Mouse. She desperately wanted to give it to him. She wanted to thank him for taking such good care of her Bob. Unfortunately they aren't allowed to take "gifts" from people. So my mom told Ireland we would have to mail Mickey his card.
When they got to their hotel Nana talked to the clerk and told her the whole story. The wonderful "Cast member" (what employees are called at Disney) talked to Ireland and told her Mickey LOVES to get mail. She told Ireland she would make sure he got it! Ireland was on cloud 9!!

Well, Mickey got her card and he sure did love it! He loved it so much, he wrote Ireland a letter to thank her! She couldn't believe Mickey actually sent her mail!


It is things like this that set Disney apart! This is something she will remember forever!


Thanks Mickey and Minnie Mouse!!!

Love the concentration on her face when she's reading. Only Disney would do this. So fun for her!
