Inheritance of Hope hosted its first Disney Legacy Retreat at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, on January 7-10, 2010. Eight families participated, coming from seven different states -- Washington, Oregon, Wisconsin, Ohio, Massachusetts, New York, and Texas. Families were able to relax in the comfort of Disney's BoardWalk Inn, explore the BoardWalk Resort, and enjoy family time in Disney's four theme parks. The Retreat also featured a dinner at Tony's Town Square Restaurant inside the Magic Kingdom and another dinner event with a special appearance by Mickey Mouse himself! Inheritance of Hope provided volunteers to assist the families with everything from child care to tips on how to make the most of their time in the parks. Over the course of the weekend a supportive community developed, helping the families to relax and gain tools and understanding for better living when they returned home. All expenses were covered by Inheritance of Hope and its supporters.
