Disneyland lived up to its reputation as the happiest place on Earth yesterday—with a little help from LeAnn Rimes.

The singer and her husband, Eddie Cibrian, spent Monday afternoon with 6-year-old Cadence Cogs, who is suffering from multiple disorders, with one leading to blindness. The little girl's dream was to visit and see Disneyland before she completely lost her sight.

Rimes and Cibrian worked with the Wish Upon a Hero foundation and arranged to fly out Cadence and her family from their home in Honolulu for a weeklong stay at Disneyland after reading a post about Cadence's plight on Twitter.

"Just spent a lovely hr with the most beautiful family, the Cogs family," Rimes later tweeted. "Cadence is a blessing. She was so wide eyed & the family so grateful! A little girl's whole life was made today and her whole family got to share in her joy. @wishuponahero THIS is why you guys should be so proud of the organization you have created."
