Yes, I do plan on being there but not sure how long I will stay. I'm also thinking of donating a stuffed animal as well as a few books. I absolutely love Mickey Mouse, even have one from many moons ago that Mickey himself signed at Disney Land. As for Toys for Tots I couldn't think of a better program at the holiday times for kids. They are wonderful to the little ones.
