Candace Payne became an overnight star when she posted a video of herself wearing a Chewbacca toy mask.

After sharing her joy with over 153 million people, the woman now called "Chewbacca Mom" continued her adventures with a trip to Disney World.

The Texas native is a big "Star Wars" fan and was able to tour the park with a few storm troopers and even met Chewbacca himself.

"The best part of all of this, is being able to share joy with people," Payne said.

The mother of two has been a worship leader since she was a teenager. At the age of 16 she said she had a vision and dream from the Lord about her future and how God would use her for His glory.

"I still, to this day, at 37 years old, try to figure that dream out. But that dream has never left my heart, nor my mind, nor the way that I walk and follow Jesus," she said. 

Payne currently serves at the Oaks Fellowship in Red Oak, Texas, and continues to uplift many through her worship and contagious laughter.

Her message is simple: "When you have a heart full of joy it will change everything."
