   I am so glad I asked! That is an amazing story, and really shows the magic that Disney brings....and yet it's not really Disney, but those that work there that love it as much as those of us that go. I am so glad that your son still had the chance to meet the characters, and in such a special way! I am sorry that he had to have a seizure to do so, poor thing and poor mom too, I know how hard it is to have a child with other needs. Thank you for sharing your story with me!!

   What a great avatar! Where was the photo taken? How did you manage to see Pluto, Goofy and Belle at once??? Very cool!

   Thanks.. It's a great story, actually. My older son has severe epilepsy and received a wish from Make a Wish. His wish was to go to Disney, so we spent a week at Give Kids the World. I prayed that he would be seizure free for the week and was SO disappointed on Thursday am of our trip when he had a seizure 1st thing in the am. It was the day that Disney characters were at the village for pictures. I took my younger son to where they were taking photos, and the staff member escorting Belle asked me where Cody was. I told her he had a seizure that morning and was in bed. She told me to go back to our villa, and a little while later there was a knock on our door. Belle was there with Minnie and Mickey. She took them into Cody's room and woke him up. After visiting and taking pictures, they left and Belle came back with Goofy and Pluto. Then, a while after they left, Belle came back once more with a sheet of paper containing the "autographs" of every single park character.
   
   It was absolutely amazing and something I will NEVER forget. Before his trip, we had not had a vacation in 5 years. I had not taken off more than 2 days in a row from work that did not involve someone being in the hospital.
   
   I always get a little (evil, admittedly) enjoyment when I read the dis threads about the characters, and how to get around to see as many characters as possible, etc. How many people have the characters come to them? heh heh heh.
   
   I love that picture because it brings back such wonderful memories.
