WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - A West Palm Beach couple and their son left behind a prized possession after returning home from Walt Disney World this week.

Kelly Grzech Ramsaran and her son Wes left behind his Slinky Dog toy, whose character is featured in the "Toy Story" franchise. Ramsaran bought the toy for her son for "being a good listener" while visiting the park's Boardwalk Resort, according to her Facebook post.

The boy's father accidentally left behind Slinky Dog while the family played with pirate toys near the Rapunzel Breakfast at Boardwalk.

"We were devastated! I got on my phone, made a bunch of calls, got into screaming argument with husband, cried, left messages, looked up to buy another slinky and saw he was in store only, and then cried and argued some more," Ramsaran wrote in the Facebook post. "I told my son that just like when Buzz and Woody got lost from Andy, they found their way home and Slinky was going to find his way home to us."

After the family returned home, Disney's team shipped Slinky Dog to the family with Woody, other friends, some photos of their adventures and a card that read:

"When the road looks rough ahead and you're

miles and miles from your nice warm bed

You just remember what your old pal said

Boy, you've a friend in me."

It seems like Slinky wasn't ready for his trip to the Boardwalk Resort to end! We found him and some old friends playing around the resort and we hope you don't mind but they wanted to join Slinky on his journey home!

Sincerely,

Disney's BoardWalk Resort Merchandise Team

"I cried and thanked them {park representatives} and asked how much to ship him. She said it was nothing. Mickey was taking care of it, but it would be 7-10 Days," Ramsaran wrote in her Facebook post. "Well!!!!! Slinky came home today!!! With friends!!!! Omg you guys. Disney Magic is real!! Look at the photos they took."

Wes picked the Slinky Dog toy while at the park's Buzz Lightyear ride. Ramsaran said Santa already got Buzz and Woody from Santa.

The pictures show Slinky Dog's extended stay at the park with Woody, Mickey Mouse and Goofy.
