I heard that Chris and Carrie have wanted to go to Disney for a few years to visit me, Mickey Mouse, and the rest of my gang. Finally, this April, they had the opportunity to go. Carrie’s aunt was nice enough to let them use her time share at the Marriott Grande Vista. As we all know Disney is a place where you can have fun and be a kid at heart no matter how old you are. I heard they had a great trip! Enjoy seeing their trip because we enjoyed having them! -Mickey Mouse
