Here is where we slept on Thursday night:
We had the most unbelievable time! We had one day left on our Disney World passes, and Bart finally had a weekday off of work, so we drove to Orlando Thursday morning. We spent about an hour and a half at Epcot, then went to the Magic Kingdom. Well, we happened to be on the right ride at the right time, because we won the stay in Cinderella's Castle! We were in the afternoon parade, had VIP seating for both parades and the fireworks. We had dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table (which is usually booked months in advance, and very fancy.) We had breakfast with the characters from Winnie the Pooh. We had our own guide who got us onto any ride we wanted without waiting in line, and private sessions (with no waiting) with Mickey Mouse, Donald, Goofy and Pluto, and some of the princesses. We all got free tickets for the next day as well, so our one day trip turned into two of the most magical days we could ever dream of!The suite itself was amazing! It looked like the inside of a castle, with amazing mosaic tile, gorgeous bedding, a mirror that was actually a TV, a huge jetted tub, I could go on and on. We weren't planning on the spending the night since it was just a day trip, so they bought us all new pajamas, and got us toothbrushes, deodorant, etc. so that we could spend the night. The boys got Mickey dolls, autograph books for the characters to sign, popcorn, candy, cookies, fruit, etc. There was an amazing white chocolate Cinderella's carriage and horses, filled with chocolate-covered strawberries. I'm sure I'm leaving out some amazing details, but there was just so much!
It was such a magical couple of days, and a memory that we will treasure as a family forever!

We have lots more pictures I will post later, and if you want to know the whole story, call us. It was so unbelievable that we can't possibly post all of the details here!
Thank you Mickey!!

I imagined what the inside looked like from your descriptions.....I wasn't even close. It was even more than I could imagine. Sentimentalist that I am, I got tears in my eyes reading about this once in a lifetime adventure.
