Disney World for FREE!

Well we recently just went to Disney World for FREE! Yes, I said FREE!! We were in Orlando, FL for some family time with my parents, my little sister and older sister and her family. I decided to play around on my dad's laptop and check my email and myspace. While on myspace I saw a posting from someone I went to high school with and it said 'I have free tickets to disney for someone'. I thought no way, so I emailed her and asked what free tickets?. She responded the next day that she had tickets to DisneyWorld for Saturday morning in exchange we would have to be at the park by 7am to be part of the Christmas Parade and after that we can stay at park the rest of the day. I counted heads and realized we needed 9 tickets. I became sad thinking that was a lot and she probably only had 4 or something. To my surprise she ahd 9 that I needed. I was so happy and told my family. I waited to tell my 2yr old until we had the tickets. So friday afternoon my friend came by and dropped off all tickets. We told my 2yr old and my sister's son who is 2 as well. They were so happy. We explained we would be going to see Mickey Mouse. I thought getting them up that early would be hard but it really was not. We were staying about 10mins from the park so it was an easy commute. While at the park my sister talked to a lady standing next to us waiting for the parade and she said Disney does this every year and you just go to the website and print the tickets out but she did not know exactly when they open it up because her tickets were given to her by a friend who could not make it to the parade. If I know around about a time when Disney offers them I will post. We ended up staying at the park until 10pm I was very surprised. The dads and little sister went home to watch the SEC champsion game at 3pm and my littlest and my sisters baby left with grandparents at 5 and my sister and her oldest and me and my oldest stayed to ride a couple more things and watch the night parade and fireworks. The boys had such a good time. I thought they were too young to ride a couple of things but I was surprised they could ride everything that we attempted and the babies could too. We had an awesome time and will never forget it. I think I only ended up spending $40 and that was on lunch, snack and dinner. Oh and we got free button that said my first time at disney for all four boys. If you go to City Hall when you first get into the park they have buttons for free and they have ones that say happy birthday or anniversary. I never knew that!
