I'm coming!

I know this probably doesn't belong in this forum, but as it is the one I post to and read the most...

I'm coming to Disney for spring break with my parents and my best friend who has never been! We'll be there the 9th-14th. I have a very special mission and any help carrying it out would be appreciated. Here is the deal:

As part of my Master's program I am observing in a third grade classroom, and my third graders found out that I used to work at Disney and am on very good terms with Mickey Mouse ;) . I have promised to bring them autographs when I come back. To review for their MAP (standardized test) which they are taking for the first time in about a month, they wrote a giant letter to Mickey and Friends. A friend of mine in DCT is going to see if I can do a special meet and greet after the parade to so that I can get a picture of all the characters with the letter to give to the kids, and I am also going to be passing around a poster for the characters to sign. The school I am at is in a very rural area in Northeast Missouri (The whole region is incredibly rural) and many of these families cannot afford to go to WDW, for these children, this is as close as some of them may ever get. I wish you all could have seen their faces as they were writing the letter, they were so excited! So you all (especially the entertainers) may see me toting around a poster for autographs, I really want to make it special for my kids.

sending them back some stickers or something? :)

I heard back from my friend at DCT, and the meet and greet is a go! The manager that day is one who knows me.

Keep coming with the other ideas, I really want to make this special for my kids!

We're in Georgia, we arrive tomorrow! I'm so excited. I finally got ahold of my friend who is dropping off the poster (her cell phone was on the fritz), I can't wait to get the signatures for my kids!

Stop by the DVC booths and most of the CM's will give you a ton of stickers. I had one give the rest of a roll and it was almost 50 stickers.
