Thanks for the Pooh and friends pictures during the Christmas parade! :flower3: So glad Tyler got to spend so much time with Stitch and all the special moments of that evening. And this is only your first day at Disney World! Can't wait to see what other special moments occurred the next day at Animal Kingdom!

Thank you! I am glad you liked the Pooh pictures! Tyler loved the time he spent with Stitch! I promise to work on Day 2 soon!

Wow, it looks like you had an amazing first day. The pictures are wonderful! That is so sweet that Tyler was able to spend so much time with Stitch. Cant wait to hear how your second day was.

Thank you for the compliments on the pictures!

Actually, if the person who said that there was no special line/treatment for GACs (Guest Assistance Cards) was correct. They are used for the permanent character greeting areas - like in the Epcot Character Greeting by Innoventions and at MK in Toontown. They are not used for the more casual meet and greets that are outside, not in a permanent location.
But, they do make exceptions to that for children on WISH trips to allow expidited access.

Your report is great and the pictures are great (even though you wrote you just have a point and shoot camera). The Stitch and Lilo ones are so cute (how neat an experience to actually get to play with them!). The castle ones are beautiful and the 'crashed' baby is so cute!

Thank you! I know that the GAC should not work for outdoor character lines, but I kept having cast members with other characters tell me to go in the exit lines even for the outdoor characters. Even one of the trainers told me this! I guess it must be the Wish trip exception. Tyler and Hayley loved playing with Stitch! The castle was breathe taking! Thank you for the comment on Hayley too! She is cute awake and asleep!

WOW, what an amazing 1st day!!!!! Love all the pics and love seeing the Christmas decorations and parade pics, too, we were there this week coming week last year, brings back good memories!!!:santa: It's SO magical this time of year, isn't it?!

The visual I had in my head with the extra beds in your room is too funny....those rooms are tiny to begin with, i can only imagine!!!:lmao:

The beds were too funny. I think I would have thought to have taken a photo if it wasn't so late and everyone wasn't so tired! It was comical afterwards! The Christmas decorations are amazing. Halloween is my favorite holiday, but I now love Disney's Christmas decorations more than any other decorations I have seen. I could have stared at the castle all night!

Great updates! I haven't been on much all weekend, but it was fun to catch up on everything at once :) The castle was soooo pretty all lit up, a part of me wishes I had tried to plan around the holidays! I'm so glad Tyler got that time with Stitch, and now you have me all curious as to what happens at AK!

Thank you! Bre had the whole week of Thanksgiving off so it was easy to pick that week. Tyler missed 3 days of school and I found out today that they are unexcused. I am not sure what that means. He is in pre-K. I am not too worried about it. I gave the school plenty of notice that he would be gone and why.

Great pictures and great details on the MVMCP! I can't wait until we go next Sunday! I'm so looking forward to hearing what happens tomorrow at AK!

I am going to try to get at least the first part of the AK update today! You will love the decorations next week! Take lots of memory sticks or film, whichever your camera takes. You will take so many more pictures than you could ever plan too!

Deyki had so much fun looking at your pictures with me. He was yelling, "Mommy, Mommy, we went there. Mommy, we met him!" He was so excited to remember our recent trip. I can't wait to read more!

I am so glad that Deyki is enjoying the pictures too! I hope he is feeling better now!

WOW The px are fabulous. And the GINGERBREAD MEN:yay::yay::yay: Thanx for thinking of my Matty. He hasn't seen them yet (he's in bed) but I'll be sure to show him tomorrow. I'm glad to hear the trip is beginning on such a wonderful magical note. I can only imagine what the coming days had in store for you. I'll be waiting......(and hopefully this computer will cooperate:sad2:)

Matty's Wish Trip http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2325607

I hope Matty enjoyed the Gingerbread Men too! I treid to take lots of pictures of them, but in the dark the flash takes a little longer than I would like to re-set. I know that he will love seeing them in person!

WOW!

I just love your TR so far!!! :goodvibes

The parade pictures are WONDERFUL and you guys have had so much magic already!!! :thumbsup2

The trip just gets more magical each day! I read before I left a post that you wrote that each Wish trip has one magical moment and I could not imagine how Tyler's would have this with all of our obstacles, but the trip exceeded everyone's expectations! I promise more soon!

I just wanted to give everyone a brief update of the holdups with the trip report. First, I was trying to get all of our PP photos edited by last night as there was a special offer for a free $75 video if the PP was ordered by the 30th, but I kept getting error after error when editing and at 11:40 pm last night I gave up with about 40 more photos to edit. I spent almost two full days editing.

Sunday we had brunch with our extended family. Then everyone took naps. We also finished putting up Christmas decorations. :santa:

Monday night I had to go to a meeting and my '95 Saturn would not start. So, I took the minivan and my husband removed the battery. When I came back from my meeting two and a half hours later he took the battery to O'Reilly's and it was fine. Now he thinks it is the started. He also thinks that he and his friend can fix it tonight. We will see. Then today Tyler had his two hour appointment with the Developmental Pediatrician. Since it was the first time for her to see him, she had lots of questions and evaluating to do. Now she needs to look over more reports, medical records and get back to me in 6-8 weeks. I guess that is not too long as I had to wait six months to get Tyler in to see her and the normal wait is one year. We also received some good news at the appointment. There is a medical resident that should be able to start practicing here in the next few weeks and she is a geneticist! She is going to set up her practice here! I will not have to drive a six hour round trip drive to see a geneticist anymore! :cheer2:

Then I needed to go back to the University today. I am the Chapter Operations Advisor for the Delta Gamma sorority. It basically means I volunteer my time to help the collegians that serve as vp finance and house manager. Today I needed to go and oversee the new composite company. We had some problems last year and the advisory team wanted to make sure an alum was present to handle any concerns. There were none! :woohoo: The girls at the house think Tyler and Hayley are too cute! :flower3:

Then I needed to come home and make sure all of my Junior Girl Scout parents had permission slips for our field trip tomorrow, fax a report to the doctor's office and deal with a billing error for another doctor's visit that Bre had. Now I am spending a few minutes catching up on Dis prior to picking Bre up from choir practice and taking Tyler to gymnastics. Then I should have time later tonight for at least a small update. I should be able to get the morning surprise part done! Thank you all for sticking with me! :grouphug:

This morning everyone slept in a little since we were out so late the night before. Aaron took the three kids to the End Zone dining hall for some pastries / cinnamon rolls for breakfast. I stayed in the room to organize the pins, autograph pages and misc. items needed in the park for the day. Then I heard mousekeeping knock on the room next to mine and I was ready, but they weren’t back yet. I headed out. It turns out they went back to the room, but took a different path. Aaron was frustrated when he answered the phone. Tyler spilled blue PowerAde down the front of his shirt. He took it back to the room and tried to wash it out as best as he could. While I waited for them I took a few pictures of the resort. The one with the tennis ball can stairs has Aaron walking back with the three kids between the trees.

We finally made it to Animal Kingdom a little before 10 am. We stopped and took pictures of the large tree up front.

http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb1/kdzarchan/DSC03617.jpg

We stopped to do PP photos of Stitch breaking through the pavement. It took me four days after we returned home to get Stitch to appear, but he is there now! Then I took some photos on the way to Camp Minnie / Mickey.

When we arrived at the entrance of the Camp, Pocahontas was standing there by herself. The kids visited with her. Hayley and Tyler kept looking over the slates of the bridge into the little stream so Pocahontas joined them. I still cannot tell you what was so interesting.

Then as soon as we walked into Camp we were greeted by a warm welcome from Elaine. She gave me the biggest hug. She told me that she was supposed to call her supervisor as soon as we got there. They needed to come and look at Tyler and Hayley to see if they could ride in the parade. We had talked about Aaron not riding with Hayley so the other three of us could be in the parade. It did not work out, but they were insistent about making Magic happen. We visited with all of the characters while they worked out the details. They told us to go by a special door and we would have VIP seating and a special meet and greet for the Lion King show.

First we saw Minnie and she led the kids by the hand to a bench to take the perfect photos.

Then it was on to Donald.

Mickey was up next.

I took more pictures of the decorated trees. You can tell by the decorations on the trees which trees belong to which characters. I loved these!

Then Hayley was so excited to get to meet Thumper and Miss Bunny.

http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb1/kdzarchan/DSC03656.jpg

http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb1/kdzarchan/DSC03657.jpg

Here she is meeting them. Thumper turned around and wiggled his tail for her too!

Then we got in a really long line for the VIP seating. Aaron asked me how it could be VIP if so many people were in line. It turns out most of the people in line thought it was the entrance and they were redirected. A cast member led us to a front row seat in the giraffe section and he did not know that giraffes are Tyler’s favorite animals!

http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb1/kdzarchan/DSC03671.jpg

Breanna got to lead the giraffe section and teach them the sound a giraffe makes. She will never forget that a giraffe sounds like a sheep!

A cast member of the show came over to talk to my kids and told them that she loved their outfits. Then all three kids were asked to be part of the parade, but Tyler was a little scared and would not go. He was overwhelmed by the scariness of Scar’s performance and the fire twirler / eater scared him too.

We watched the rest of show. We were told before the show started to remain seated after the show and a cast member would come and get us. Before the theater started to empty out a cast member was leading us out a cast member only door. She asked us to wait just a minute and then the entire cast came out to meet us! They got down on the kids level and asked them about the parts of the show they liked best. One of the giraffe performers showed Tyler that they had on the same pattern of material in their costumes. It was so amazing! This event was simply magical!

As we were leaving one of the cast members told me to post the photos on his facebook page, but I do not know his name or how to get the pictures to him. If anyone recognizes any of the Lion King cast members then send them over to see the photos!

Then we changed diapers again! We do this a lot! While I was waiting on one of the little ones the other one saw Thumper and got in line again! Soon the whole family was in line to see Thumper. I was so glad we had seen Miss Bunny earlier as she was not out anymore.

Great 2nd day pictures at the Animal Kingdom! Too bad the family didn't qualify to be part of the parade but they did provide other magical moments for all of you. I love all of your pictures especially of the Christmas decorations! I enjoy WDW during the Christmas season the most too! That's a great picture of the family with the FOTLK cast!

There is a medical resident that should be able to start practicing here in the next few weeks and she is a geneticist! She is going to set up her practice here! I will not have to drive a six hour round trip drive to see a geneticist anymore! That is fantastic news for you and Tyler! :yay:

Yesterday, we got around 5 inches of snow and it kept snowing until noon, which is very unusual down where we live at the foothill of the mountains. Our poor chickens stayed in the coop all day long. They did not like that white stuff on the ground or floating down from the sky. :rotfl: We cleared the snow away from the front of the coop but it's still very cold outside today and they wander out for a little bit before going back into the coop where its a little warmer. Last year, there was no snow at all. If we don't get a white Christmas, at least we had some snow this year in December.

Looking forward to part 2 of day 2.

This is fantastic!

I thought the pics from the first night were incredible...this is just...I am speechless!

Twice in one trip to have that much pixie dust thrown on is AMAZING!

I don't think I have ever, in any trip report, seen the cast of the Lion King come out to do a meet and greet. How cool!!

I love all the pictures! So neat that you all got to be up close and personal with the parade. The kids look like they're having a really good time. Diane sounds like a very special CM to arrange all that for you guys, I love people like that!

Having the kids participate in the Festival of the Lion King parade was so amazing! Diane was awesome! We tried to find her again to thank her, but we could not. I will write a letter to Disney about her and how she made our trip so special!

I think the kids had more fun at the Lion King show than they would have in the parade! The Christmas decorations at the Animal Kingdom were my favorites of all 4 parks.

Yes, I am so excited to have a geneticist here in town!

We had snow right before we left on the trip, but the ground was too warm for it to stick! I think having chickens would be hard work, but fun. I loved the fake snow at Disney!

It was amazing. I was expecting maybe Timon, but I never expected to meet the whole cast! The pixie dust has not even begun to rain yet. It was the most amazing trip and so many unreal experiences occurred on our trip. There is lots more to come!

Absolutely AMAZING! And your pictures have just moved FotLK higher up on our priority list for our 1/2 day at AK! You guys truly deserve all that pixie dust and more! I am so happy for you!

I think your girls would love the FOTLK. It is a neat show and if you have a stroller as a wheelchair, you will be one of the front rows. We took Tyler and Hayley out and carried them in since we had no idea what was in store for us and we didn't want to throw any glitches into the magic!

I will try to do a couple of quick posts before I need to go to my Junior Girl Scout meeting. We are taking the girls on a field trip today! I had started to upload the new set of photos to Photobucket when something happened to Foxfire and the internet shut down. Now the original photos I was downloading are under new downloads and not in the file they should be in. I also cannot tell which photos uploaded and which ones did not so please be patient as I try to fix this mess!

After lunch we decided to ride the Safari, but we hit a detour on the way. Terk was standing off to the side with only one family waiting to see her.

Then we saw Flik. Tyler has always been very texture oriented. I assume that this is due to the other areas that he is lacking that he learns through touch, but not all characters understand why they are being rubbed and having their eyes felt. This time it was just Flik’s chest!

The character handler told us if we waited about two minutes we could meet Baloo so we went up a little hill to a hidden area to meet him. There was already one family waiting so we waited behind them. When the character handler came, she did not understand how we found the path and knew where to be. We told her that the other character handler sent us. Then she was happy that her co-workers were actually doing their jobs. Baloo brought King Louie with him! Baloo is one of my favorite characters so I had to have a photo with him too!

Thank you so much. Those were the first skirts I had ever made other than the plain one for under Hayley's Halloween costume. The trip was beyond all of my expectations. Disney is wonderful!

I love the "older" characters. Wait until you see who was out at Epcot later in the week. I am updating now that I am back from Girl Scouts. The girls got to go into the kitten city in pairs. There were 10 kittens in the city. They were in heaven and their Pet Care badge is now done! We have been working on it all semester with guest speakers and different activities!

As we were leaving the secluded character area, we ran into DeVine. She is simply magnificent to watch. We watched her for about five minutes.

After the safari, we took the train to Rafiki’s planet watch. At this point I was noticing that my camera was getting worse. About every 5th picture was coming out blurry. I managed to make it work through the trip, but I also have lots of unusable blurry photos. It is a good thing I take so many. I will send it in under warranty, but it will have to wait until after Christmas.

Then the kids were able to pet this animal. I am not sure what it is. It is the larger version of the acouchi and its name rhymes with acouchi. It is related to the acouchis that we have at our zoo that run loose in the jungle building. The animal handler had never seen an acouchi before and she was impressed that we could see them at our zoo.

We looked around inside some more. Then we got in line to meet Rafiki. We were told that Jiminy Cricket would not be out for about 45 more minutes so we did not get to meet him. Pocahontas was also out, but we had already met her.

Then we went outside to the petting zoo. On the interior bridge the goats were locking horns and trying to butt one another off of the bridge. It was entertaining.

They were having an animal information session in the outdoor pavilion. They were showing off a porcupine and a kid from the audience was selected to help train him. We caught the end of the show. Aaron and Hayley watched the whole show while I had the two older ones in the petting area.

They had out some porcupine quills so you could feel them. They were smooth and then the points were very sharp.

Now at this point Aaron really wanted to ride Kali River Rapids. I did not as I did not want to be wet the rest of the day, but we headed that way to show Tyler the ride. On the way we found a fun rickshaw so Bre and I posed for a photo.

http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb1/kdzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%2011_2009/DSC03832.jpg

Then the kids saw the gibbons. Despite their calling, “Whoooop” to them, they did not respond. They did turn to the direction of my kids’ obnoxious noise. We have an animal park here that has two gibbons and Tyler and Hayley have perfectly replicated their whooping sound and do it non-stop.

Then we took another detour to Expedition Everest. Tyler was too small to ride. Breanna and I rode first.

http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb1/kdzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%2011_2009/DSC03839.jpg

Aaron chose not to ride so I took some more picture of the coaster going up and down. Tyler liked to sit and watch and say, “up” when it went up and “down” when it came down over and over!

Tyler saw Kali River Rapids and decided that he was not going on it so we walked over to Dino Land.

Then we tried to meet Goofy and Pluto, but since we did not have a green stop light on our GAC, the cast member would not let us. It was not a problem as they had seen Goofy earlier. So we headed towards the front of the park.

The parade was going by and guess what? It was Mickey’s Jungle Jammin Jingle parade that was not supposed to start until the next week! It was great and I was able to fit Breanna and Tyler right in front of some adults so everyone could see the parade perfectly!

I think the Mod was trying to move it over to the Trip Report board (from the Pre-Trip board) and it landed on the Completed Trip Report board instead!

Stitch was up to his normal ornery self, but Tyler loved playing with him!

Then we found our friend, Christopher. He was on the phone when he came down the hill to where Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore were. He recognized us, smiled really big and waved. He visited with us as the kids visited the characters. He asked the kids if they had enjoyed the Christmas party and if we saw Stitch today!

First the kids met Pooh.

I am not sure if I mentioned this before, but it was right at 4:30 when we entered the line and the line closes at 4:30 PM. As you can see all of the guests were able to meet the characters one at a time. Then we were the last family in line so Pooh and Eeyore decided that we should take pictures with everyone all together! Maroo, are you sitting down for these pictures? p00h4me, you will love these!

Then Pooh waved bye to us while still holding on tightly to Hayley. He explained to us through signs that he was keeping Hayley. I asked if Hayley was going to live in the Hundred Acre Wood with him and he shook his head with a yes.

It is now after 5 PM and we make our way to customer service to ask about the green stop light again. We asked the first day at Epcot and we were told that they don’t have the stamps. We were again told, “no” and it was explained to us that our GAC should work just the same as the ones with the green stop lights. It is not a big deal and we are off on our next mission.

We find the bus for the beach club. I am not sure who said that deluxe resorts have better bus routes, but the beach club does not. We stopped at Swan, Dolphin, Yacht and somewhere else before reaching the Beach Club. Then the bus still had to go to the Boardwalk. It was a long bus ride.

The end results are worth the wait! The carousel is magnificent!

After we looked at the many details of the carousel, we were told to go out by the lighthouse by the pool. There was a PP photographer out there taking photos so we had a family photo taken. I was told that they take them by the carousel only during daylight hours due to the poor lighting situation. The view was so worth the long bus ride.

Now, we found the bus stop and took a bus to Downtown Disney. That ride was short and uneventful! However, when we arrived at DTD, it was chaos. I was thinking that Animal Kingdom closed at 5 PM so it was the perfect night for DTD. I was not thinking that it was a Saturday night. There was a stage set up and some sort of DJ and kids activities going on. We had canceled our Yak and Yeti reservations after the kids did not like the menu selections. We thought we would take Tyler to T-Rex. There was a 20 minute wait just to put your name on the wait list!

We walked over to Rain Forest Café. Tonight was the night we were paying out of pocket and I had $10 off coupons for both Rain Forest and T-Rex. I also had a $25 gift card from My Points for any Landry’s restaurant, which we were originally going to use at Yak and Yeti. If I had thought it was Saturday, I would have eaten at the Rain Forest at Animal Kingdom before we left. The wait at the DTD Rain Forest was two hours! It was only 40 minutes with a Rain Forest Safari card. We purchased ours in 1997 and it saved us so much money through the years. I love it. We put our name on the list and tried to walk around.

I was so tired and my feet hurt. I just wanted to sit down. So I watched a mom sit on a bench with an empty seat for over 15 minutes. Then I went and sat down with Hayley. The woman on the bench immediately told me that her mom was sitting there and I needed to move. She was very rude. We decided to walk around inside the shop. Then it was finally our turn to sit down!

Breanna really wanted to shop at the WOD, but I was so tired. I finally gave in as I was not sure when we would make it make to DTD. On the way I remembered that I wanted the kids to see Santa. The line was under 10 minutes. The pictures they took with my camera are dark, but the PP ones are great!

Then we ventured in to the WOD. It was not so crowded inside now. I guess a lot of people were done for the evening.

We let the kids pick some souvenirs. Breanna picked a Belle dress for her American Girl doll that my sister gave her. She has a just like me version. The Disney doll clothes fit the American Girl dolls. She had a hard time choosing between Belle and Jasmine clothes. Hayley selected three of the plush toddler dolls from the ones she did not have. She chose Belle first and said, “Belle” as she already has Tinkerbell at home. Then we walked around the store and I picked up a few surprises for later since Christmas is just around the corner.

Then we had to go to the basin store. One of the judges that my husband works with broke his Disney mug last week and WOD only had ones with names such as mom or dad on the handles and he needed a blank one.

Then finally it was back to the resort. We had early breakfast reservations with Stitch on Sunday.

Here is the link: http://www.rarechromo.org/informatio...ons%20FTNW.pdf .

I'm just now going back to the beginning...I was wondering if you have ever heard of CDO? Chromosome Deletion Outreach? (I think their site is CDO.org but don't quote me on that). They are US based and raise money for research (no money is solicited from members or required to join) and offer a database and support group for families. They even offer a list of families in your state/area that are working with a chromosomal abnormality (that have approved their info be shared). It sounds like your son's is extremely rare but certainly his challenges are shared by other kids with "syndromes". My daughter is still undiagnosed, but every doctor in several states have agreed she seems to have a genetic syndrome. It was actually her geneticist who submitted her paperwork for MAW, even though she is undiagnosed. Okay, sorry for that rambling. Didn't know if you knew about CDO and I can tell you are the type of parent that does her research. :surfweb:

Then he said the most profound thing. He said, "God must have given us this baby since he knew we could take care of him and love him whereas a parent on drugs could not handle him so he gave them the perfect child". It is so true. I did not think I had the strength to deal with a special needs child when he was born, but I have learned so much and I have become a much stronger person because of him. Besides one little smile from him melts my heart!

Oh geez, maybe I should've just stayed where I was with all the happy pictures. :rotfl: You made my eyes water, which is a hard thing to do anymore. Your husband is wise, and it took us a little time to come to terms with this. We were/are infertile and after desperately wanting a baby to love it ripped my heart out every time someone found a baby in a dumpster. I was very bitter towards women who were able to have children but did not appreciate them. When we finally realized that adoption was our path to parenthood it was another blow to find out that our daughter had pretty severe disabilities. We loved her from the minute we saw her. Probably before. We had no doubt that this unborn child was meant to be ours, and no one knew that there would be anything "wrong" with her. Around the time it started to become obvious that she was behind in everything and her medical issues were continuing, we finalized her adoption and immediately were told we were amazing and wonderful people for going through with it. WHAT?!?:mad: She was OUR daughter! If someone had given birth to a baby like her no one would ever say how wonderful you are to keep her....it boggled our minds. It was a challenge to adjust our dreams for her, and grieve the loss of the daughter we expected, but she was nothing but a bundle of pure love. An angel straight from heaven. Even now with all the docs and therapies and worries about the future, we call her the "easy" one. :rotfl2: Phew. Sorry for all of that on your TR, but I just had to share what a nice feeling it is to find people who understand. That's one great thing about our kids... I have found that even without a specific diagnosis we have made amazing friends and can relate to so many of the different challenges out there. Okay, 'nuff said. ;)

Wow! Your timing on this trip is fantastic on the character meets! I love all the Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore pictures too. My favorite is the one with all three characters with the entire family. Tyler got to play with Stitch again. Yeah! The gingerbread carousel is fantastic this year. Love all the pictures you took to capture all the details.

Day 2 was another full day for the family! Can't wait for day 3! pirate:

We did seem to have perfect timing and it was all accidental timing! I thought you might like the Pooh and friends pictures! The gingerbread carousel was my favorite holiday decoration in all of the hotels and parks.

I did take lots of pictures and I left out the not so pretty ones whether they were fuzzy or the kids weren't smiling. I learned quickly that when you met a character to just keep snapping the shutter button and at least one good photo would be the result.

I'm just now going back to the beginning...I was wondering if you have ever heard of CDO? Chromosome Deletion Outreach? (I think their site is CDO.org but don't quote me on that). They are US based and raise money for research (no money is solicited from members or required to join) and offer a database and support group for families. They even offer a list of families in your state/area that are working with a chromosomal abnormality (that have approved their info be shared). It sounds like your son's is extremely rare but certainly his challenges are shared by other kids with "syndromes". My daughter is still undiagnosed, but every doctor in several states have agreed she seems to have a genetic syndrome. It was actually her geneticist who submitted her paperwork for MAW, even though she is undiagnosed. Okay, sorry for that rambling. Didn't know if you knew about CDO and I can tell you are the type of parent that does her research. :surfweb:

I have heard of the CDO and I was registered with them, but Unique was so much more positive and supportive that I stayed with them. They are wonderful to work with. I have recently found a little boy in England with a deletion similar to Tyler's deletion and they look eerily alike. They could be brothers! I know on a lot of the chromosome disorders the children have similar facial features, but this little boy is like a twin to Tyler and he is 2 years older. I have been emailing back and forth with his mom.

Oh geez, maybe I should've just stayed where I was with all the happy pictures. :rotfl: You made my eyes water, which is a hard thing to do anymore. Your husband is wise, and it took us a little time to come to terms with this. We were/are infertile and after desperately wanting a baby to love it ripped my heart out every time someone found a baby in a dumpster. I was very bitter towards women who were able to have children but did not appreciate them. When we finally realized that adoption was our path to parenthood it was another blow to find out that our daughter had pretty severe disabilities. We loved her from the minute we saw her. Probably before. We had no doubt that this unborn child was meant to be ours, and no one knew that there would be anything "wrong" with her. Around the time it started to become obvious that she was behind in everything and her medical issues were continuing, we finalized her adoption and immediately were told we were amazing and wonderful people for going through with it. WHAT?!?:mad: She was OUR daughter! If someone had given birth to a baby like her no one would ever say how wonderful you are to keep her....it boggled our minds. It was a challenge to adjust our dreams for her, and grieve the loss of the daughter we expected, but she was nothing but a bundle of pure love. An angel straight from heaven. Even now with all the docs and therapies and worries about the future, we call her the "easy" one. :rotfl2: Phew. Sorry for all of that on your TR, but I just had to share what a nice feeling it is to find people who understand. That's one great thing about our kids... I have found that even without a specific diagnosis we have made amazing friends and can relate to so many of the different challenges out there. Okay, 'nuff said. ;)
Your story also made my eyes water. You have an amazing gift in your daughter. I figure that God knows more than I do so if he chose me to accept and take care of Tyler then there is a greater reason than what I can see before me right now. He has been a lot of hard work and a lot of road blocks with doctors and insurance, but one little smile from him and all is right with the world. He has no idea that anything is wrong with him and he is just happy being alive. I wish everyone could see life the way he does. We all would be so much happier! :grouphug:

Day 3 started off interestingly. We made it to the bus stop by the time I had planned on being there, but we had to wait 35 minutes for a bus. This delay meant that we would be late for breakfast. However, Ricky was so entertaining. He was in charge of the buses at Sports for the morning. He entertained everyone in the lines. He sang, danced and told jokes. He was fabulous! I wish we had videoed him! A bus finally came!

http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb1/kdzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%2011_2009/DSC03972.jpg

We made it to the Magic Kingdom. Then we still had to get a monorail. While on the bus I called Disney dining to tell them we would be late. They informed me that I had to contact the Polynesian and gave me their number. I reached a voice mail that said it was checked frequently and I left a message. We got on the monorail and there was a 10 minute delay due to another monorail on the tracks not being far enough ahead. I liked that they were taking extra safety precautions. I was talking with a gentleman on the monorail about what happened and how many people were fired over the crash. He was quite knowledgeable. It helped to pass the time.

http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb1/kdzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%2011_2009/DSC03973.jpg

We made it to the Polynesian. The line to check in was long. They took our picture right away and then provided us with a pager. So, we walked around the resort. It was not decorated for Christmas yet. The resorts were using this week to decorate. Here are some pictures of the resort.

http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb1/kdzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%2011_2009/DSC03975.jpg

Then we wandered through the three little stores / kiosks in the upper part of the resort. Look what Tyler found:

http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb1/kdzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%2011_2009/DSC03976.jpg

He did not get to take this with him today. The decorations in the store were cute.

http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb1/kdzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%2011_2009/DSC03978.jpg

Finally, Ohana paged us for breakfast. I noticed that our reservation slip said that we were celebrating a personal triumph, but it did not say what. I informed our server that we were celebrating my son’s wish trip and explained the Stitch part of the trip to her.

Then we sat down to eat. We started with two kinds of bread. I had heard lots about the pineapple bread and could not wait to try it, but it was dry and not what I had hoped for.

Right before Pluto walked over to the table Tyler shoved a huge red grape in his mouth. I asked him not to, but he did not listen. You can see the grape bulging out of his cheek in the pictures.

Now if you look at Tyler’s neck and his hand gestures, you can see the pure excitement when he gets to meet Stitch. Unfortunately three of my photos are completely blurry and you cannot see anything but a blue blob in them. Stitch spent a few minutes at the table.

Hayley was enjoying the Mickey waffles. The meal was served family style and it was all you can eat. The scrambled eggs had some sort of special seasoning on them that made them delicious. All of the food was great!

Next Lilo and Stitch invited everyone to join in a parade. Breanna took the two little ones, but she did not see the music shakers. By the second go around someone had given them some to shake.

I am not sure what Hayley is doing here.

http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb1/kdzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%2011_2009/DSC03999.jpg

Lilo finally made it to our table!

She absolutely loved the Autograph pages!

http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb1/kdzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%2011_2009/DSC04004.jpg

Then Aaron took Tyler to the restroom to change his diaper again! While he was gone a manager came over to my table to talk to me about Tyler. He asked if we had seen Stitch and I replied that we had. He explained that Stitch was coming back to spend some more time with Tyler. He also asked if we had any souvenirs yet and I told him that we were just starting our second full day. He said that he would be right back.

Tyler returned and so did Stitch!

The manager returned with a small bag and told Tyler that he had a present for him. Here is the result! The first one is Stitch coming out of the bag and the second is Stitch getting lots of hugs.

Phew! All caught up! I'm totally amazed at your trip so far. I guess it is charma for all the hassles you had before you left. I can understand a little of your previous frustrations. We had a very slow start to our plans. Phoebe was approved immediately, but then it took a couple months before a wish granter contacted us. Then we met with her and wanted to take a little time (one week...) to decide what wish would be most fun for Phoebe. It took weeks to hear back from her that her official wish was approved. Then it took several more weeks before she called me to say the dates we requested were full (I guess our chapter is super busy) so I requested new dates. It took several more weeks before those were approved. Now we are waiting to hear more details, such as flight times and where we are staying...She is super sweet, and I'm sure it has more to do with being a middle man. It is just nerve wracking being told that we are going, but then nothing more....I think WISH families are all appreciative of the gift they are being given, but the whole point of it is to provide a magical experience without the hassle and worry. I'm so glad your trip was magical!!!

How wonderful that you have met another child who is so similar! That is my only reason for wanting a diagnosis at this point. Phoebe is labeled as legally blind, CP, seizures, dev. delay, etc but having a name for the whole "package" could help us know what to expect in the future. I know what you mean about the "look" too. Phoebe has some half brothers who look quite a bit like her, but there are definitely unique traits she has. Her geneticist is convinced that she has some version of Rett syndrome but so far, all the tests have come back negative. So, awesome that you have found a family to connect with! Oh, and YAHOO!!!! on having a geneticist coming to your area!!! I complain about our 2 hrs round trip for appts, I can't imagine 6...

Looking forward to the rest of the TR!

So glad that you had some more magical moments at the breakfast with Lilo and Stitch. That was so nice of the manager to give Tyler a gift to remember his visit there and to have Stitch spend extra time with Tyler too! The breakfast also looks yummy!

I LOVE the pictures of Tyler with Stich and how excited he was! And then he was so excited giving his stuffed Stich a hug!!! So sweet!!!!!!

Thank you! He does love Stitch. We knew that he wanted to go to Disney for his trip as every time he saw a commercial on TV he would say, "I wanna go" and point to the TV. However, when we first started planning his trip we would ask him if he wanted to meet Mickey and he would say, "no". Then one day he went and brought us a stuffed Stitch! We asked him if he wanted to meet Stitch and he said, "Yes". Then we had to learn the sign for Stitch. By the time his Wish actually arrived, he could say Stitch! :stitch2:

I am a planner so it was hard for me to wait too! We have never met our Wish granter in person. I have only communicated with her through email and by phone. That is part of the 6 hour round trip distance problem between us and the closest chapter!

We just had a new micro-array genetics test on Tyler at the end of summer. It shows that his deletion is a little smaller than first thought, but it also confirmed what we feared. Tyler is missing 80 pieces of DNA. I am still waiting on the geneticist to come back with a detailed report of what each of those pieces of DNA control. It will not change anything about how much I love him or how I care for him, but it might help with the services he gets at school. I know where you are coming from as it is a battle when your child has something no one else has and it does not have a recognizable name! :grouphug:

We left breakfast and took the monorail back to the Magic Kingdom. Our appointment was at 10:40 am. We almost made it on time. While I took the three kids to the Pirate’s League Aaron went to guest relations to meet with a manager that we spoke with after the Christmas party to see about getting Tyler to ride a ride with Stitch.

We were about five minutes late for our appointment. I am normally on time or early for everything, but transportation was not cooperating today! We checked in and they handed us a card for the kids to pick their pirate look from. Then the cast member said, “You have appointments today for Tyler and Breanna”. Breanna’s face lit up. I kept it as a surprise from her. She was so excited! They picked their looks and then we had to wait for a little while. During this time Aaron returned. He explained that Stitch could not physically ride the Dumbos. I guess his head had grown bigger since I had seen him do this about 4 years ago. However, the guest relations person told him to take Tyler to Stitch after his makeover for some quality time with Stitch. Then my husband was grinning from ear to ear as he pulled out Tyler’s GAC with the new green stoplight stamp on it!

Right after this we were called in for Tyler and Breanna’s magical pirate transformation! First, you enter into the greeting area inside the pirate’s league to receive your pirate name. You spin the handle on a treasure chest. Breanna went first. Once you spin the handle, you carefully open the chest and take out the two dice. You then tell the pirate your birth date and from that your pirate name is created. Breanna is Catherine Shorepaddler. Her dice were 1-5, which is funny since her birthday is the 15th! Then Tyler spun the chest and his new pirate name is Benjamin Plankgun. They would be called by their names the rest of the time they were in the pirate’s league.

Now, Tyler and Breanna were called at the same time. They were diagonally back to back of one another so I tried to keep going back and forth to take photos. To allow the readers of this report to not be as dizzy as I was going back and forth, I will show one kid’s transformation at a time.

First, Tyler chose to be Captain Jack with the six eyes from the last movie. We asked him several times and he chose that look each time. The whole process was amazing. They gave him his pirate belonging throughout the process. First, they applied a pirate tattoo to his hand. He received a loot bag and pirate teeth. Then they made him up. After they made him up they let him choose which side of the reversible bandana he wanted to wear. They hooked his earring to his bandana so it would look like he was wearing it without actually wearing it. They placed his eye patch on his bandana so he could still see. Here is the amazing transformation:

Now, Breanna’s transformation was similar, but she was turned into an empress. She was able to pick between black and pink fingernail polish. She chose black and was so excited that she was able to keep the bottle. Then she was able to pick between pink and red lip gloss, which she also was able to keep. Then she received a sheet of sparkly facial tattoos and she selected one to wear and the rest went into her pink pouch. They pulled her hair back in little twists with bobby pins. Here is her transformation:

At the end of their transformation they had to recite the pirate oath. James had Tyler raise his hand and he recited it for Tyler. It was so cute! During this time Hayley was waiting so patiently in her stroller. The head pirate (I did not get his name) was infatuated with her. He declared that she was the pirateiest of the crew. So he returned and asked if he could present her with something. I agreed and he pulled a pirate bear out from under his vest. She grabbed it to hug it and the tag hit her in the face so she was a little upset. My husband offered to take it off, but the pirate did it for her. He explained that we needed to keep the tag as it was a little book about the story of the bear. She loves her new bear. Since we have returned from the trip she has been singing, “Yo Ho, Yo Ho” non-stop. It was another magical Disney moment!

Then they were taken to another section of the pirate’s league to receive their swords and sheaths. As with every other part of this transformation, this was so neat to watch. They each had a sheath tied around their waist. Then their loot bags were tied to it. Then they had to hear how pirates treat their swords and how they don’t hit their brothers or sisters with their swords. Then once the sword instructions were provided, they were given their swords.

Then they were told that they were going to be taken into a secret treasure room. I was informed that no pictures were allowed to be taken in the room. Once he made sure no one was looking, we were ushered into the secret room. Once inside both kids had their photos taken. The packages came with a 5x7 photo for each child. After the photos they went on a treasure hunt. They had to look for something specific and pull it out. Inside they found their pirate medallions, which they both put on right away. Then there were little cork stoppers on chains and they had to look out through the holes in the door to make sure there were no princesses around before they made their escape.

Once back in the welcoming area. I paid for their packages. They signed the pirate book with their pirate names. They received a certificate with their pirate names and the pirate oath as well as their photos. The photos came out awesome. I was also informed how to have them added to my photopass account.

The entire pirate experience was amazing from beginning to end. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Even at the full price of $50 for the package Tyler and Breanna did, it would be worth it. However, half price makes it even better. The total experience immersed the kids in the pirate world for about an hour. Thank you again for the Big Give member that paid for this experience for my kids! pirate: Then they were invited to come back for the 2 PM pirate parade that met across the street at the pirate stage.

Next up, we find Stitch again!

I have to commend you on this TR. The pictures! The detailed reports of all that magic! Did you keep a journal or is all this still fresh in your head. I can't imagine that I'll be anywhere near as thorough. You're really raising the bar for those of us who are following you on our trips LOL

I'm just so happy to hear that your trip was such a success after all the initial aggravation. Memories for a lifetime!

The pirate makeovers look totally fun! It looked like all three kids enjoyed it. Breanna does look so grown up with makeup on! I never thought hot pink eye shadow would be a flattering colort, but wow! She looked great! I love how they gave Tyler blue eyes on his cheeks. I wonder if a kid has brown, do they make the others brown???

How great that the breakfast at Ohana turned out so well. Piper had mentioned possibly wanting to go there as her character meal, we'll see. It;s so cool that they were so good to you! I looooove the Pirate League pictures..is it just me or did Breanna look older when they were done with her?? She looked so beautiful..and Tyler looked so cute! I'm so glad I had good timing in checking your PTR..loved the updates and can't wait to see what happens next!

We had never done this breakfast before and I loved it. I liked that it was good food that was delivered to your table so you didn't have to deal with a buffet. The characters were wonderful and did not rush with any of the kids including ones at the tables near us. The size of the restaurant was smaller than some of the big ones with buffets. It felt cozy and welcoming.

Breanna looked like a young woman when she was done with the pirate make-over. It was a little scary at how grown up she looked! She was beautiful!

I love to take pictures so the photos are my journal and they all have hidden time and date stamps. I also have a good memory most of the time. I knew that there were lots of Wish kids going over the holiday season and I wanted to detail as much of it as I could since I could not find much information before our trip. I just want all of you to enjoy your trips as much as possible. I also love to take pictures and it is great to have friends to share them with that appreciate them as much as I do! :wizard:

You are welcome! They looked great. The photopass photos are fabulous, but I am still editing. I did not realize that now I need to go back and save all of the photos again in the various sizes. I also found out this weekend that there are special Fab 5 and Stitch left and right icons that can only be added to the Up character photos. Then there are special Christmas borders that can only be added to the fairy, Terrance. They will not show up with Tink or Irridessa. The editing is taking longer than I would like! The bear was a complete surprise, but she is still talking to it in her crib and singing the pirate song. I am uploading the photos for the rest of this day and it will take 13 separate posts to add all of the photos I want to add. :stitch:

Breanna turned into a young lady with the makeover. She is always beautiful, but she looked gorgeous and so grown up after the make over. The eyes on Tyler were tattoos so I am not sure if they came in other colors. In some of the photos you can barely see his glasses and his glasses add to the affect. I think it highlights his eyes more than the boy next to him with the similar design at the register next to Tyler. I would do the pirate make over again in a minute. The total package was a true Disney experience from beginning to end! pirate:

After my crew had become pirates, we headed out to see Stitch. My husband approached one of the character handlers and gave him the information guest relations told him to give him. Next thing I knew all three kids were hugging Lilo and Stitch again!

Then after visiting with Stitch, Tyler wanted to ride Buzz Lightyear. This ride I think is one of his favorite rides!

http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb1/kdzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%2011_2009/DSC04111.jpg

Aaron decided to take a picture of the three girls and as you can see Hayley attacked Bre right as the picture was being shot!

While we were riding the loop around Tyler saw Buzz Lightyear. So, we headed off to meet him. The character handler looked familiar, but the name, Amanda, did not ring any bells. She asked if we had been at the parks recently. I told her that we were there in September. In September she had brown hair instead of her current blonde hair and she was wearing a borrowed name tag for the week since she had left hers at home. In September she was Rosa. She remembered Tyler and told us that she hoped to see us again during our trip!

After visiting with Buzz we decided to let Hayley continue her nap while viewing the Carousel of Progress. I know that you are not supposed to take photos on this ride, but I turned the pre-view window and the flash off so I would not disturb anyone else watching the show.

When the ride was over we still had a little bit of time before the pirate parade so we headed toward Liberty Square and stopped to meet Princess Tiana and her prince.

Then we made it to the stage in time for the pirate parade. It turns out they were supposed to have their swords, but I had them shipped back to the resort with the pictures so they wouldn’t get broken. They loaned them some new ones. I was following the parade until it went in the building. My husband went with them while I stayed with the sleeping baby in the stroller. When the parade was over they were given plastic jewels as their pirate reward. Now they had more treasure in their pouches. Then they also received a magical moment’s certificate stating that they were in the pirate parade and it was personalized with their name and dated!

Then we rode the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. We were taken in another different back entrance. I think that each time we rode we were taken in a different handicapped secret entrance. Maybe pirates never use the same entrance twice. When we came out we caught the end of the pirate tutorial.

Then we were going back to the resort to take naps since the Magic Kingdom closed at Midnight for normal guests and at 3:00 AM for resort guests! On the way we saw the ropes for the parade that was supposed to start in ten minutes. There was no one behind the ropes in the center area at the start of Main Street so we asked if we could stand there and we were told, “Yes!” We had the perfect spot for the start of the parade while families were lined two and three deep up and down the rest of Main Street. I darted across the street to add Tyler and Breanna’s Pirate League photos to our photo pass with the card they had handed me. The line did not move for five minutes. I thought that the parade would start. Finally, it was my turn and the pirate photos added with no problem, but I also wanted the Ohana ones from the morning. She actually found them quickly with the time frame I gave her. I was able to run back across the street and I made it to my family before the parade started.

Many of the characters stopped to give my kids high fives. However, Lilo and Stitch were the only two characters that stayed on the other side of the street despite Tyler’s yelling to Stitch. However, he shook hands with more than his share of characters.

Another meet with Stitch and getting to see so many other characters even in the parade. Wow! Great trip report so far and you aren't even finished with this day.

Your camera takes really sharp photos! It's wonderful the way your trip is going, so great for the kiddos.
Your little one reminds me so much of my granddaughter. She is so cute & she is having so much fun as are the rest of the family. I'm so happy for Tyler.

I am still working on trying to finish this day. I discovered that photobucket has a limit to the number and size of picture you can put on their site each month. My husband doesn't know it yet, but he now has an account so I can work on my report some more!

Thank you! It is just an 8.2 megapixel Sony Cybershot. I have learned when to use the flash and several of the other settings to get better pictures in different lighting situations, but I am not an expert. Hayley had more fun than anyone on this trip. She has always been the happiest baby in the world! :cutie:

After the parade we took the bus back to the resort for a nap.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04195.jpg

When we arrived back at the room there were many more pieces of towel art for the kids to explore!

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04198.jpg

Then Tyler, Breanna and I went to sleep. Since Hayley had already taken a nap, she thought that she did not need to go back down. Aaron told me that she learned how to climb out of the pack and play. He said after an hour of constantly putting her back in, she went to sleep. When Breanna and Tyler woke up she had their stuffed animals in her bed with her!

We dressed everyone in layers for the park tonight. Last night at DTD the temperatures were chilly at about 8 PM. Then I gave the kids some glow bracelets from the Big Give. Tyler played with his for several days after he got them. He even took them to bed with him as he liked how they glowed under the blankets.

Thank you! I was about half done finishing the posts for this day when my husband called and traffic was backed up so I needed to get Tyler to gymnastics and he would meet me there. Then I had to make it back home to attend our PATT (Parents and Teachers Together) Christmas dinner / meeting at a local restaurant. I was hoping to have 30 minutes uninterrupted, but I will finish updating now. My whole family loves IASW. The chocolate cake that comes with the counter service meals on the dining plan is awesome. The cake is so moist and the frosting is decadent. I took the picture of it since I liked the bear confetti!

After this ride Tyler wanted to ride the carousel. This ride was one of his favorites and I can’t tell you how many times we rode it this trip. I like the new double steps on some of the horses as my feet do not fit in the stirrups to get up on the horses. I guess they will all be refitted soon!

When we exited from the ride we were trapped in Fantasyland. It is a neat perspective for the fireworks. Some fireworks are shot off from the castle, but the others are shot off from behind the Ariel’s Grotto area

While watching the fireworks I found a garden patch of strawberry parfait dianthus. I love these flowers and the frost killed mine a few years ago and I have not been able to find replacements. Our garden centers keep carrying other versions.

Tyler loves the lights and bright colors of the fireworks, but he hates the loud bangs as you can see.

Then we exited to rope being put up around the street for the Spectro Magic parade so we stopped to watch. Tyler and Breanna did some hula hooping before the parade started.

It must be like reliving the trip, by writing this report and painstakingly posting all these photos, huh?

I remember the Spectro Parade from our trip back in '05. I have very very vivid memories, I loved it! Thanx for the px. I can't wait to see it again.

I actually had more updates and had planned on finishing Day 3 last night when I lost my internet connection. I thought it was because of the winter storm. However, when I called the cable company this morning the computer was operating in off-line mode. I think a little helper touched the computer while I was at my meeting last night and daddy was watching them!

Yesterday, I was about to give up on the photos. I spent 3 hours uploading photos and none of them uploaded. I went and did dishes and other things while they were uploading to come back and find error messages. It is working again! I love sharing the photos with others who love Disney as much as I do. The Spectro Magic parade is special to my husband and myself as we saw it for the first time on our honeymoon. Then it was moved to DL and we saw it there. We are happy it is home again at WDW!

The kids loved the floats with all of their colors almost as much as they loved seeing the characters. There is a little bit more of the parade to come now that I have this computer issue solved!

Next, we headed to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Aaron took Tyler and I guess he screamed through the ride. It was dark and not his favorite. Breanna and I rode second.

Then we observed that Space Mountain was open. Breanna refused to ride and Tyler was too small so I rode by myself. Even with the fast pass lane there was about a 15 minute wait. Now, it had just opened a few days ago and guests had destroyed the interior walls. A gentleman behind me in line said that it was down earlier in the day and guests were in line for over two hours. Guests had peeled the latex paint from the walls. There were huge chunks of paint on the floors. It was so sad and disgraceful. I did like the new more cushiony seats, but the ride was still a little bumpy for my tastes. I am sure this is due to the inability to move with the car as you cannot see where you are going.

Then when I got off of the ride, Aaron decided that he wanted to ride it as it had been closed the last time we were here. I took the little ones for a walk. Tyler and Breanna wanted to ride the Tea Cups. There was no line. I took a sleeping Hayley out of the stroller and asked if the older two could ride in a tea cup by themselves as long as I was in a close tea cup and it was ok. So Hayley slept through the ride and does not know that she even rode it! Tyler and Breanna had a blast spinning one another silly.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04393.jpg

We met back with my husband and Tyler wanted to drive in the Tomorrowland Speedway. Bre would not drive by herself since she claims the pedals are too hard to push. Aaron took Tyler first.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04396.jpg

I pushed Hayley and went and looked at pins to trade. The little kiosk by the Speedway and the Tomorrowland store has a small book of trading pins you can look at. I found one of the newer seashell Ariel set I was looking for. Then we went back and Aaron took Breanna for her turn. At this point it is about 2:20 am and only Hayley is asleep.

I took Tyler and Breanna on the Winnie the Pooh ride. There was no one in line. We rode a second time. By the time we exited the ride my husband was screaming at me that I should not have ridden a second time. He took Tyler and ran with him. I thought at this point he was crazy!

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04399.jpg

I finally made my way to the carousel and Tyler is riding next to Dale. How was I supposed to know the characters were riding the rides. I think that Chip and Dale later took a kid by the hand and went to ride the Dumbos.

Tyler wanted to ride again so my husband told me to take him. It was 2:55 AM! Tyler discovered Donald and Goofy sitting in the bench seat on the carousel and I tried to explain to Tyler that there was no room for him when Donald and Goofy shook their heads yes, made room and picked Tyler up to sit between them. He was in heaven. Bre and I sat in the front row of the seat.

After he exited the ride Chip, Dale, Goofy, Donald and Pluto were trying to pull the sword out of the stone. The small group of guests remaining in the park was cheering for their favorite character by name. When all of a sudden one of the cast members said, “Look! Here comes our boss”. We turned to see Mickey and Minnie strolling up hand in hand. Then they joined in the fun!

I took a few more not so clear pictures of the park on the way out. Look at the time on the castle. It is 3:08 AM!

Then on the bus ride back to the resort we met the driver, Cranbiz. He stopped by earlier in the pre-trip report to give you an update about our trip while we were still there! He saw the lime green Mickey heads on my backpack and stroller. It was great to chat with him even if it was almost 4:00 AM when we arrived back at All Star Sports!

So, you now have the end to our magical third day at the parks!

Next up is Day 4 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but you will have to wait as today I need to take Tyler to the Orthopedic Specialist for his quarterly check-up this afternoon.

Thank you! He does have to protect his food as Hayley will eat all of his and then hers. She is sneaky! :rotfl:

Update: Posts prior to #320 will not have photos restored until the 17th of December! Sorry for the inconvenience!

Yesterday, I was at 8GB of bandwidth used of the allowable 10GB and I quit adding photos, but I guess that over 75 people looked at each of the photos, which caused me to exceed my bandwidth for the month. The photos will be restored on the 17th. All photos after post #320 are on my husband's photobucket account and I will be more careful with it!

OH!!!!!! Woo hoo!!! :goodvibes

Just simply MAGICAL!!!!!!

I wonder if they do that every late night? I would think there are not many children out that late...so seems like it would be a fun thing to do!

I am so glad that you guys lasted that late. I think I would have just fallen out! :faint:

It was very magical. I did not think the kids would make it either, but they took 3 hour naps and it was only 2 AM back home. Both of those things helped a little!

:offtopic: :offtopic: :offtopic:

Tyler went and visited with his orthopedic doctor today. We received some more bad news. The tendons and ligaments in his heels / lower legs are too tight. The doctor thinks that his bones are growing faster than his tendons and ligaments causing them to tighten and reducing his flexibility from his legs to his feet and ankles to zero. He will have to go back to casts on both feet and legs that are changed out every two weeks. This process will last at a minimum of 6-8 weeks. They will not be walking casts so he will have to be carried. I am not sure what this will do to this school situation or anything else for that matter. I know that God won't give me more than I can handle, but right now I am just wondering how we will get through this. He will be so miserable. I know that it is best for the long run so he will be able to walk and run without tripping. It is just so hard to go backwards with treatments when we thought we would be done with all of his foot stuff when he was three. I just needed to ramble where people would understand! :grouphug:

An awesome end to day 3! I don't know how Tyler and Breanna stayed awake until the park closed. Even if I had a three hour nap in the afternoon, I couldn't stay up that late. Awww! To be that young again. We were so tired by the evening that we left the park before SpectroMagic and the fireworks the last time we were there. :rotfl:

Oh, so sorry to hear the news about Tyler having to wear casts again. :sad1: Maybe the school can send someone to the house to tutor or homeschool during this time? A :hug: for you and Tyler.

So sorry to hear that Tyler has to go back into casts! Not that it helps, but I'm glad you got to go to WDW before that came about..and at least it's winter so he won't be sweating so badly as he would be in the heat of summer. Call the special svcs section of your school division and you should be able to work something out.

I'm sorry he's going back in the casts. Phoebe did serial casting once and it was a pain. It added several pounds to her and was much harder to lift and carry her. I feel your pain! A friend of mine has a daughter with CP, caused by a virus in utero. She has one leg that is tight and has done serial casting on it as well. Recently her nuero (?) did Botox treatments to help loosen it and she said it definitely helped. Maybe you could ask about that as an alternative or in addition to lessen the time in casts?
In terms of the school situation, definitely let them know what his needs will be during this time period. Ask the doctors if you can get an equipment loan for a child's wheelchair/stroller. If they can't get one for you Phoebe's first school used a wagon to pull her and another child around until they both had their own chairs. Just a few ideas floating around in my head. I know you'll get it all figured out!

Thanks for the hugs and support!

Oh, I am so sorry! I was just so happy seeing all those pictures of Tyler riding with Goofy and Donald and now there is this news. Poor little guy. I hope he doesnt have to keep them on too long and hopefully it will make everything better.

Thanks. It looks like right now 6-8 weeks!

Tyler originally had casts for the first 15 weeks of his life. We would go in and have them changed every week. We did do botox on his neck at one point to help with the torticollis. His doctor thinks that about 3 sets of casts that are changed every two weeks should work. I did contact the school and they have to get back with me. I have thought about a wheel chair and I think we will go that route. It just did not come to mind at first since the last time he had casts we carried him everywhere. I know that this is for the better in the long run. Here is Tyler the last time he had casts:

It is now Monday and the parks are crowded! We arrived at the park at about 10:30 AM after sleeping in from our late night at the Magic Kingdom. When we arrived, I checked out the holiday décor at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I could not wait to see the Osbourne Spectacle of Lights this evening.

First, everyone was hungry so we went to eat at the ABC Commissary, but they no longer serve breakfast and did not open until 11:00 AM so we headed over to ride Toy Story Mania.

On the way there were some Army Men trying to convince one another to scale the guest rope line. Finally the last one had a huge build up of how he would leap and then he unhooked the chain, went through and re-hooked it. They were funny.

Then we all rode Toy Story Mania. Tyler loves this ride and I think he could ride it all day long if we would let him. On the way out we stopped to take a picture with the Green Army Man and had him sign our autograph pages. I was not aware that they signed!

Then the ABC Commissary was open! I had a vegetarian salad with edamame and it was really good. It had an Asian dressing. I just could not do more chicken nuggets or hamburgers.

We walked over to the Star Wars area to discover that the next show had already been picked. Since we were there in September the way kids are picked had changed. There is now a queue line to line up in and hope you are selected. It was almost an hour to the next show and Tyler could not wait that long. So, we decided to go and see the Indiana Jones Show. Guess what? They were out of handicapped seating. There was nowhere for us to sit so we did not see the show. Did I mention it was crowded!

We walked back over by Star Wars and I decided to try again to get Tyler in the show. I explained that he was on his Wish trip and showed the cast member our guest assistance card. The cast member asked if I had my voucher from GKTW. I looked at him clueless as I really had no idea what he was talking about. He conferred with another cast member and reluctantly gave me a little card to give to Tyler. It guaranteed that he could be a Jedi in training! He had green writing on his card.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04474.jpg

Then we watched the next Jedi Training Academy so he would know what he had to do. It was a different Jedi Master than the one that told him he was too little in September and I was relieved. After the show was over it was time for Tyler to line up. I took him over to the cast member and showed his card. A second cast member led us to where he was supposed to sit. I stood there with him for about five minutes until I was told I needed to go back to the crowd as I was setting a bad precedent. The cast members here were not friendly. Right before I went back over by the rest of my family the cast member did switch out his green card for a red card. It turns out that now they have 15 kids with green cards that fight Darth Maul on the lower level and the 15 kids with red cards fight Darth Vader on the stage. He was going to fight Vader! I was so nervous. I was worried he might get scared, but it turns out I had nothing to worry about!

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04476.jpg

The Jedi Trainer came out and removed his hood and it was the Jedi Trainer from September that told Tyler he was too small! I wanted to laugh since Tyler was now on the stage with him, but I was still nervous. He made fun of Tyler’s Handy Manny outfit too!

Hayley was blowing kisses to Darth Maul no matter how hard he tried to scare her. His contacts were a glowing yellow. His red and black face paint did not scare her. She is fearless, unless a princess comes near her!

Next I decided to take Tyler on the Star Wars ride. He did not want to go. I showed him all of the neat Star Wars friends in the cue.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04513.jpg

He was crying so bad that he did not want to get on the ride and the cast member could not let him on if he did not calm down. She showed him the surveillance video from the ride and then he got on. He was still upset on the ride, but he calmed down enough to ride. After the ride was over we took him to the store to build his own light saber. After that I did some Christmas shopping!

Then we got in line to see the Muppets 3-D show, but the line was over an hour long so we found an opening in one of the chain dividers and exited the line. I found this neat prop that I had never seen before.

Then we snuck in the back entrance (with permission) to see Prince Caspian as we did not want to see the Narnia show and walk through again. He was great with the kids and even let Tyler hold on to his sword!

I think the CMs were just trying to do their job and I did not have a Wish button on and I did not have the voucher from GKTW so all I had was his GAC with the green stamp. The lines were long and they were just trying to make sure they were being fair to everyone. I guess everyone has bad days.

As for crowd sizes I learned that the day before we went the park was practically empty. A week ago on the same day they had 14,000 in the park and that day at 2:00 PM they already had let in 27,000. It was busy! :scared1:

At this point the crowds were huge and we decided to take the kids to the Animation Courtyard and see if we could find Handy Manny. He was not out so we went in to the Animation Studios store and out the back entrance into the character area. The kids had fun playing on the interactive computers and they were able to meet some of their friends.

First they met the characters from Up. Tyler really liked Grandpa Carl and his cane. I liked how the birds in the background rotated. Sometimes there was no bird and sometimes it was on the right or the left.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04527.jpg

Then we went over to the computers to answer a few questions to determine what Disney character we were most like. Tyler went first. He had his picture taken and answered a few questions on the screen.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04528.jpg

Tyler was Jiminy Cricket.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04529.jpg

Breanna was Princess Dot.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04530.jpg

I was Lady!

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04531.jpg

Hayley did hers later as she was sleeping.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04532.jpg

Aaron answered one of the questions that he liked to eat nice people for lunch rather than eat with nice people and as a result he was Jafar.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04533.jpg

Then we entered the line to watch Playhouse Disney. The kids really liked to sing and dance with the show. I did not take any pictures here as I just wanted to relax.

After the show we met JoJo and Goliath.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04538.jpg
Now we missed a character as he or she was leaving right as we approached and I cannot tell you who now, but we were told to wait to the side and Handy Manny would be out in a few minutes. Aaron chose this time to get Tyler a snack of popcorn. Tyler loves popcorn. The problem was rather than waiting until after he met Manny who he was so excited to meet all day, he gave him the popcorn first. Tyler did not want to leave the popcorn to meet Manny. He did get excited when he finally saw him, but even Aaron admitted that it would have been better to have waited!

At this point everyone needed a break so we walked to the front of the park to go to the baby care center and change some diapers. I took a picture of a store window and in turn received a self portrait of myself.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04545.jpg

While Aaron made his way over to the Baby Care Center that is located inside the Guest Relations building, I took our photo pass paper from Tyler’s Star Wars show to add his photos to our photo pass. The cast member has to pull up all of the photos from the show and then you add your kid’s photos. I also added the photos of another little blonde boy. We met their family while waiting for the show to start and we conversed with them. They forgot their video camera so Aaron taped the entire show and we are making a copy of it and mailing it to them. I am also burning the photo pass pictures of their son fighting Vader and also mailing those with the video. They will have some really good pictures when I get it sent to them!

While in the guest relations area, I picked up some I am Celebrating buttons. I wrote on my button and Aaron’s button. They read, “I am celebrating Tyler’s Wish”. Then Tyler wanted one so I wrote, “My Wish” on his. We had lots of people ask us about our buttons. If any cast members asked I just said we made our own buttons as our other ones were back in the room. I did not explain that our other ones were the same as the ones we were wearing. I was just tired of being asked where his Make a Wish button was and being told by cast members that they look for those buttons. My invention worked!

Now, we decided to go in search of ice cream. We ended up at a little stand diagonally across from the Tower of Terror.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04546.jpg

Their sundaes were made with vanilla ice cream, but I asked if they could make them with chocolate ice cream instead and they could so Bre and I had those. Aaron had something different. Here is Breanna with her sundae.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04547.jpg

We made our way back towards the Animation building since we planned on attending Character Palooza! Outside we found Quincy and June leaving. Leo replaced them. He was so excited that Tyler had glasses on like him. He used sign language to talk to Tyler about the glasses.

Tyler and Hayley then waited patiently for the characters to all come out!

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04562.jpg

First they met Mary Poppins and one of her penguin friends.

Goofy came out to play. The picture where Goofy is holding out his ears is one of the photos that my camera decided to blur horribly. As the trip went on the blurring of photos became worse.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04617.jpg

Now it was time to ride the Great Movie Ride, but we took a wrong turn and ended up in the Osbourne Festival of Lights chaos. It was so crowded, but it was so amazingly beautiful and awe inspiring!

I checked to see if we could eat any earlier than our 8:20 PM reservation time and I was told that they were currently 30 minutes behind. So we headed off to the Rockin Rollercoaster. Breanna rode with Aaron. Tyler took a nap and Hayley and I built our own records at the sticker craft booth outside of the Rockin Rollercoaster. The cast members give you a record and then a sheet of stickers to decorate the paper record with. I chatted with the cast member for a few minutes until he was replaced by a female cast member. She said that she was only on outside duty. She had just lost one of her best friends in a car accident off of Disney property somewhere tropical. She said that she had been unable to go back inside to work the ride again yet. She told me how she and her friend had so much fun inside and described some of the rotations that the cast members go through. She said that they rotate every 15 minutes so sometimes guests think that they are the only cast member working as they greet them at the beginning of the line, greet them again at the queue line and then later help them exit the cars. After talking a bit more I discovered that one of her other close friends knows Stitch and often imitates him! I told her to ask her friend if she had seen my little blonde one with glasses!

At the end of our meal our server brought Tyler a special magical moment’s certificate to commemorate his dining experience at the Sci-Fi café.

We took another stroll through the Osbourne Festival of Lights. Aaron wanted to video tape at least two of the song sequences and it was so nice to walk through it with minimal crowds. The extra magic hours for guests were from 8 PM – 11 PM and it was now around 10 PM since dinner took awhile!

We made it back to Playhouse Disney for the last half an hour of the Dance Party. Tyler immediately found Annie and danced with her. He also had a balloon hat made and showed it to Quincy while Quincy showed him his alligator balloon animal. They had piped in some show smoke earlier in the dance party and when we entered the building it was still hazy and smoky.

After a half an hour of dancing it was time to head back to the resort. I took some more pictures of the decorations on our way out.

We had a surprise at All Star Sports when we returned to the resort. It had been decorated for Christmas! It may not have been as fancy at the deluxe resorts, but it was so cute with all of the sport themes!

Tyler and Hayley were already asleep when Breanna and I returned to the room. Aaron had taken the two little ones ahead to put them in bed. Shortly after they were all sleeping in their beds.

Wow! What a great day for finding all those characters and Stitch too! Did you end up getting most of the characters signatures by the end of your trip? Seems like you covered a majority of them. Love the Osbourne Christmas lights! I wished they still passed out the 3D glasses that made the lights all look like angels. Love all your pictures and the Christmas decorations at the resort. What's the next park you visit? :mickeyjum:goofy::simba::stitch:

It was a great day for finding characters and that made Tyler happy! We did get a lot of character signatures by the end of the trip.

The Osbourne Festival of Lights was amazing. :love: The pictures don't even begin to do it justice. It was beautiful and the music was choreographed to go with the lights! This year they switched to LED lights so maybe the 3-D glasses only work with the old lights? I now love Christmas time at Walt Disney World. All of the decorations really put you in the Christmas mood. I even loved the ones at All Star Sports! :cheer2: We go to Epcot next!

We could only go over Thanksgiving since my daughter was off the whole week of Thanksgiving. It was amazing to look at all of the decorations and all of the details that went into each theme of each tree and area! :santa:

Sorry for the long delay in updates. It has been hectic around here. Wednesday was our last Girl Scout meeting for December. It ended at 5:00 pm and Tyler’s school program was across the city at 5:30 pm. Then on Thursday morning we had to be at the hospital at 6:00 am to get his cast put on. I did not know until Tuesday of that week that Tyler had to be sedated for the procedure. Hayley went with us. Aaron had to work.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/DSC05031.jpg

They took him back at little before 8 am.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/DSC05033.jpg

I was able to see him around 9:50 am after he had woken up in recovery. Then they moved him back to pediatric sedation to complete the recovery process and Hayley hitched a ride with Tyler.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/DSC05034.jpg

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/DSC05035.jpg

He was not in the room more than 15 minutes before he slid out of bed and tried to walk with the casts on. He was determined. He also likes making his wheelchair work.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/DSC05037.jpg

Here he is at school on Friday. His classmates signed his casts and a special visitor showed up to the Christmas party.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/DSC05048.jpg

This weekend we went to my parents’ house in Springfield, MO to celebrate Christmas with my side of the family.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/DSC05104.jpg

By Sunday he was walking around Chuck E. Cheese with his cousins! Nothing will stop his determination! He is so amazing!

I promise an Epcot update shortly!

It is now Tuesday, which was our last full park day prior to going home. We had a later start again since we were at Disney Studios so late the night before. We arrived at the part at about 9:30 am. As soon as we entered the park the kids saw Daisy Duck and Stitch. We voted to go and meet Daisy first since every time we saw her out before he line was long or in the sun and we put it off. Breanna was so excited to get her autograph.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04697.jpg

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04699.jpg

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04701.jpg

Then Tyler took off running to meet Stitch. We were now 4/4 at meeting Stitch at each park we went too! There was no one around Stitch again, which was wonderful so Tyler could spend some more time with him or so I thought!

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04702.jpg

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04707.jpg

Then it turns out that Stitch had a high badness level today. First Stitch picked his nose and then he had Tyler help him!

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04708.jpg

After this disgusting display, Stitch was back to his normal sweet self and took a few more photos with Tyler.

Breanna wanted to do a Kim Possible Mission so we headed to Innoventions. After we picked up her mission slip, we decided to play the Great Piggy Bank game again. It is too cute!

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04717.jpg

Then we tried to go and see the Seas with Nemo. We showed the cast member our GAC and she sent us in the regular line. We had never been there when it was this busy so we thought this was the correct way to go in. You can see the line went out the door.

http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/atzarchan/Tyler%20Wish%20Trip%202009/DSC04718.jpg

So after about five minutes in line, we politely worked our way with the double stroller backwards out of the line. We found the gift shop near the exit and went in that way. We were on the ride in less than two minutes. The cast members just did not understand where the handicapped entrances were. Tyler really liked the Nemo ride. Then we spent about an hour watching dolphin training and just looking at the fish.

Then on our way to the World Showcase to play Kim Possible we stopped by the Christmas tree for a photo.

He sure doesn't let anything slow him down! I'm sorry they had to sedate him though. It always makes me feel sad.

Stitch 4 times at 4 parks!!! Awesome! You guys did great making his wishes come true even when you didn't have a ton of assistance from your agency. You did an awesome job!

Thank you! Breanna kept commenting the whole trip how my determination made things happen. I guess once you get used to fighting for your child at home for his school and medical needs that it just carries over into everything you do. He could not have had a more amazing trip. All you need to do is be nice to cast members and take a few minutes to talk to them and then look at what can happen!

Tyler is moody about his wheel chair. He prefers his independence. He now can almost run in his casts. I keep finding little blue cast pieces all over my carpet. We are only on week one of three. I am not sure they will make it to week three. I have already had to go in once to have them reinforced.

Tyler is at about a two year old level mentally so he just thought it was normal to do whatever Stitch showed him to do, which is a bad thing. However, Stitch is known for having high badness levels and Tyler just loves him!

What a determined little boy! I am so glad he is not letting those casts get him down! You must be so proud! :lovestruc

Love the new updates!

He is amazing and very determined. He adapted so much better to the casts than I imagined he would. I was so scared that first day in the hospital when he was so wobbly, but now he acts as if the casts have been there forever. They are covered in signatures and he loves to show off all of the signatures!

Awesome determination!!

Go Tyler, GO!

:cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

I didn't know about that back entrance to Nemo...they were going to send us around the front and we didn't even get to ride at all. :confused3 Oh well!

Good to know for next time! :)

We did not know about the back entrance either. After we made it into the building Aaron thought that something was wrong with the cast member's directions so we started to hunt a new entrance. I think all Wish families going during a busy time period should be alerted to look for the gift shop entrance. Maybe even tell them to just ask the cast member where the gift shop is since otherwise the cast member will put you in the regular line. I am sorry you had to miss it!

Now that the holidays are over, I promise I will get this report finished up. We went to Springfield, MO the weekend before Christmas to spend time with my family and then we did Christmas with my husband's family here. I also spent about 3-4 days just editing photo pass photos since all of the previous editing had them all saved as 5x7s and had to go back and repeat each edit for the 4x6 and 8x10 sizes. It is now done and ordered. I had until the 26th of December and I ordered it on the evening of the 25th!

We received our mission and we were supposed to start at the International Gateway. We made a short stop at Canada to get the kids’ passports stamped.

Then we picked up our mission and found out we were headed to France. I was grateful that it was not all the way back to Mexico. We started our mission when Belle, Marie and Aurora came out. We missed Belle.

http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz25/dzarchan/DSC04728.jpg

The kids took pictures with Aurora.

http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz25/dzarchan/DSC04729.jpg

http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz25/dzarchan/DSC04730.jpg

Then Breanna was so excited to meet Marie for the first time as she even wore her Marie shirt for the possible meeting!

We finished the mission in France and Breanna wanted to do one more mission so I agreed. This time we were sent to China.

On the way I saw a mom with four small kids including twins and I offered to take their photo for her. She was so happy as she said that she did not have any vacation photos of the whole family together. Then she offered to take ours so we posed in front of the holiday decorations. I am standing off to the side so the nutcracker can be in the photo.

http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz25/dzarchan/DSC04742.jpg

Once we reached China, Mulan was out. The kids stopped to chat with her. I asked if Mushu would be out later and I was told that he no longer comes out as he is not popular enough. He is Breanna’s favorite character so this was a little disappointing to hear.

http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz25/dzarchan/DSC04745.jpg

Then we had counter service food in China. It was ok. I had a salad. I really liked the ginger ice cream.

http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz25/dzarchan/DSC04746.jpg

We explored China while completing our mission.

After this mission, I told Breanna that we were done with missions. We headed over to Norway. It was crowded and Tyler saw the boat ride and started screaming so we did not ride it.

http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz25/dzarchan/DSC04754.jpg

We walked through Mexico and stopped for passport stamps, but we planned on coming back here later in the day and never made it back.

Then we headed over to Germany. I love it here. There was also a photopass photographer here, but you will have to wait on that photo.

Next we arrived in America. They had several characters out including Pluto, but we did not visit with them as we had already met them. However, after being told that Mushu was no longer popular I could not figure how Kronk from the Emperor's New Groove made it out to meet guests.

http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz25/dzarchan/DSC04756.jpg

The band was parading and playing in the streets. They also had their own gingerbread house inside the restaurant area.

Miyuku was amazing in her creations. We had never managed to see her before and it was so fantastic to watch.

We then wandered into Morocco where Tyler and Hayley tried on some hats.

http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz25/dzarchan/DSC04773.jpg

Then it was back to England. We found Tigger, Pooh and Eeyore greeting guests. Then Off Kilter was playing as we exited the building.

We had a little bit of time prior to dinner. We tried to ride Test Track, but Tyler was screaming so bad that he could not ride it. I took Breanna and rode it. Then Aaron and Breanna headed to Mission Space while Tyler, Hayley and I took our time and looked through gift shops. Hayley loved the play tunnels inside Mission Space and made it to the fourth story, but Tyler just liked going in a circle on the first story.

After all of the trauma to Tyler we headed to the character spot. We went to the exit to learn that for this queue you go to the front of the line and then they send you through. This day is when my camera decided to take every photo as a giant blur. There are about six out of 30 that I can share with you. However, there were photopass photographers there so it is not all lost!

Then it was time for dinner at the Coral Reef. None of us eat fish so we weren’t very excited about eating here. Right after we parked the stroller under an overhang and went in another couple came into the waiting area to tell us it was pouring rain outside. We waited about 30 minutes past our reservation time. Then we were seated on a second tier of seats. Our server heard it was Tyler’s Wish trip and tried to move us closer to the fish, but it would not work out. Tyler stood in his chair most of the meal and starred at the fish. The food was ok, but we would not dine here again. I am sure that if you ordered and liked fish, you would have a much different experience.

After dinner we took Tyler back to the Seas so he could see the fish. We found a smiling ray. We tried to see Turtle Talk with Crush, but both Tyler and Hayley would not keep quiet so we had to leave shortly after the show started. We did ride the Finding Nemo ride again.

Then it was off to ride Soaring. Aaron took Bre as Tyler did not want to ride anything else. He used the GAC card and I tried to walk around and entertain Tyler and Hayley. By this point some sort of ball bearing in the stroller decided to break. The stroller would not turn the front wheel. I had to push the stroller without letting the front wheel touch the ground. Aaron called me to tell me that there was an hour wait for the ride from the fast pass entrance that they were in. I took the two little ones to Mouse Gears to look around.

By the time Aaron had caught up with me, it was drizzling again and we gave up on watching Illuminations. We headed to the monorails to complete my holiday tour.

The Grand Floridian was spectacular! The tree was beautiful and they had a photopass photographer there to take family photos in front of the tree. Then the Gingerbread house was so detailed and amazing.

After this we headed to the Contemporary. It was a little disappointing. I guess that next year it will be twice as large. The idea is to create a gingerbread image using the mosaic tile mural as inspiration, but they only had time this year to create half of it so it will be better next year. I liked the monorail tree in the gift shop.

Then we went back to the Magic Kingdom to catch a bus to our resort. When we arrived back at the room there were more towel creations for the kids. They loved them. Aaron and I put the kids to bed and then started to figure out how we were going to pack everything.

ooohhhhhhh!!! You are making sooooo disappointed that we didn't make it to the World Showcase:sad1: Going back in the spring with dd and my mom and will DEFINATELY take it in then. No doubt my mom will love it but I believe dd is old enough to appreciate it as well.

Thanx for taking the time and effort to put this together (and I KNOW it ain't easy:laughing:)

You will love the World Showcase. The first time I went to Epcot I was 14 and I fell in love with it then. However, there is so much to see at Disney that it is impossible to see it all. The reports take time to write, but if it even helps one other family plan a trip or makes one other person smile then it was worth it. I like being able to share the magic that was bestowed upon our family with others! I can't wait to read all about your trip! I read about Matty's encounter with the gingerbreadmen today! Wow! :cloud9:

We had a great Christmas. Tyler received lots of Star Wars items and a few Handy Manny items. Santa brought him a little Stitch with a santa hat on and a holiday scarf. My nine year old was so excited that Stitch had a little patch on him that said Happy Holidays 2009. It was just great having family members all together to celebrate.

My camera is going to the shop as soon as I find the receipt with the warranty on it. It was not in the box. I am hoping it is still packed in the instruction book inside one of the office boxes that I have not unpacked yet.

The last day was not dry, but it ended with two very magical surprises! I will try to get it updated in the morning. Then you will have to wait for the photopass CD for some more amazing photos! :santa: :wizard:

I looove Epcot/World Showcase, it's probably my favorite park. (well, my memories of it, anyway..that was over 20 yrs ago). It looks like you guys had fun with the Kim Possible missions, sounds like Tyler was getting tired by the end of the day though. Looking forward to the next installment!

Thank you! I love Epcot and the fact that the kids can be exposed to at least a little bit about other cultures while visiting. Bre loved the KP missions. It is a fun way to explore parts of the countries that you might not otherwise explore! Tyler was tired by the end of the day, but it was great that he and Hayley could sleep in the stroller! :woohoo:

We have now made it to the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and our last partial day. Aaron got ready and then took the big checked suitcase to check it and two other smaller carry-on bags to luggage services. By the time he returned everyone else was dressed and ready to go. We were out the door by 7:15 AM this morning. We did not have to wait too long for a bus.

http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz25/dzarchan/DSC04867.jpg

By the time we arrived at the park it was close to 7:50 AM and I was nervous since my schedule said that the park was supposed to open at 8:00 AM and I was not sure how we would make it to breakfast at 8:20 AM with all of the people heading in to the park for rope drop. Well, it turns out I had nothing to worry about. The park hours changed again and the park did not open until 9:00 AM. We went through the check point for breakfast reservations and then we had most of the park to ourselves. The sprinkles had started to come down a little harder at this point. I took a few photos of the mostly empty park and then we stopped for a photopass photo prior to heading to the Crystal Palace for breakfast.

The restaurant had just opened, but they did not have enough greeters to seat everyone so we had to wait about 15 minutes past our reservation time just to be seated in an empty restaurant. I took a picture of the kids before we were seated.

http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz25/dzarchan/DSC04876.jpg

First Tigger came to visit the table.

Everyone was able to select some food prior to Pooh Bear making a visit to our table.

After breakfast we decided to let Tyler ride the train. However, the closest depot was either Frontierland or Main Street so we chose Frontierland. The handicapped entrance to this train is up a ramp that is also the exit ramp. We received many rude comments from people that we were going the wrong way. By this point I was wet and grumpy. I loudly told one rude person that it might be the exit, but it was also the handicapped ramp’s entrance. No one else said a word to us. We got situated on the train and were heading to Toon Town, but when we arrived in Toon Town it was 9:55 AM so we could not get off there. We decided to ride the train around again. Tyler liked the train, but he did not like the loud train whistle, which is the picture below of Tyler covering his ears.

We finally made it to Mickey’s house. I wanted to see it one more time before it is removed for the new Princess area. I hope they change their minds and find a new home for Toon Town and don’t tear it down completely. I also wanted to see it decorated for Christmas.

We stepped in line to meet Mickey. Hayley was taking a nap by this point. We managed to get everyone’s ponchos off prior to the greeting.

http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz25/dzarchan/DSC04927.jpg

Then we decided to build a Potato Head. We did not need any more potatoes, but we needed parts. The only part we did not find was Darth Vader’s helmet. A cast member went out to the storage shed to look for one, but we never saw her return. Once Tyler and I gathered all of the pieces, Aaron sat down on the floor with him and packed the box. Aaron is an expert box packer. When Bre was little he packed a huge box of pony parts for one of my friends back home and she was amazed at how many pieces he fit into the box.

http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz25/dzarchan/DSC04928.jpg

After this we decided to brave the rain again. It was pouring rain and it was not cold, but it was not warm either. Tyler wanted to ride Buzz Lightyear. The crowds were not too bad today and I think it was due to the rain. We start into the fast pass line when we discover that Cinderella lost her shoe again. I volunteered to go back out into the rain and look for it. Luckily it was not too far away. Someone had found it and set it up on a trashcan so we could find it easier. Then I made my way back through the line maze and was able to ride with my family.

Aaron thought at this point we should head up the pathway by the castle and to Fantasyland. When we got there the pathway was closed. Everyone was sopping wet even with the ponchos on due to the extreme downpour and sideways rain. Aaron suggested that we go shopping! He never says this so this meant that he was really wet!

Yes, at this point we gave in and let Tyler bring the giant Stitch home with him! Thank you to a special Disboards member for your help with this purchase! He loves his Stitch and sleeps with him in his bed and carries him around the house. It was the perfect souvenir for Tyler! He was able to bring Stitch home!

Next, we went back to All Star Sports for lunch. Aaron chose a table at the very end of the food court to allow the kids to run around. Bre and I went first and got our food. Then Aaron went to stand in line. He was gone for about 45 minutes as the cheerleaders for the Thanksgiving Day parade had returned for lunch. While he was gone Tyler was chucking crayons from one area to a large bowl on the crayon table. He loves to play basketball with anything that he can toss. There were no other kids at the table. At the same time Hayley had shredded about ten napkins under her chair. A manager was cleaning up in our area and I apologized for the mess and told her we would clean it up before we left. We started chatting and I mentioned that it was the last day of my son’s Wish trip. We talked about how we started in the parks this morning, but we gave up as it was just too wet. Then Aaron returned with only one meal. I had to go back to get Tyler’s meal. Each meal type had its own line. I waited forever in line. I was now worried about missing the Magic Express. A group of cheerleaders and their families allowed me to go in line in front to them. I was almost to the front when I saw a group of cast members enter the dining room. They were carrying helium balloons with stuffed animals attached to the bottoms of them. They walked over to the bakery area and took three rice crispy treats out of the case. My original thought was they were helping someone celebrate a birthday until I saw the three treats. I do not know why, but my eyes started to well up with tears and I knew they were taking them to my kids. However, panic quickly took over my magical moment as Aaron was standing next to me on the other side of the rope asking me what snacks I would like with our remaining snack credits. I asked who was with the kids and he told me, “Bre”. I told him he needed to get back there right away, but he took his time. By the time he returned there were four cast members babysitting my kids. They were also adorned with balloons, stuffed animals and rice crispy treats. Breanna had Goofy. Hayley had Pooh and Tyler had Mickey and Minnie. It was truly a magical end to our magical trip!

http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz25/dzarchan/DSC04944.jpg

Now, Aaron went to get our carry-on bags so we could reorganize as we still had loose shopping bags that had to be put into something. He came back through the dining room with the luggage services guy. I can’t remember his name right now, but I think it was Kevin. He told us that he would hold the Magic Express for us. I had to run to the gift shop to get a Stitch ornament that we could not find that morning in the big Magic Kingdom shop and I needed another carry-on bag to hold all of our new stuff. We made it to the bus right at the time on our tickets. I am not sure if the bus driver was joking or not, but he said that we were very lucky as he was about to leave. Now we would not have missed our plane as it was still three hours before our flight and we could have taken then next Magic Express in an hour and we still would have been fine. I spent the first part of the bus ride stuffing our new carry-on bag. It holds a lot. It is a wonderful weekender bag!

http://i810.photobucket.com/albums/zz25/dzarchan/DSC04947.jpg

Once we arrived at the airport we had 2 ½ hours before our flight. We sat down pre-security so Aaron could eat his lunch as he had fed his to Tyler. I had had the people at Sport put a lid on the plate so we go take it to-go. While we were waiting we were right outside a Disney store so I took Tyler to trade pins. One cast member asked us what we were looking for and I told him Stitch pins. We looked at 5-6 cast member lanyards and no one had any. Then a manager came out of the back and he said that he had a stash in the back and he would go look, but no luck. Then he asked if we could follow him to the other Disney store in the airport. We said sure, but I needed to let Aaron know where we were going. He saw Aaron, Breanna, Hayley and all of our stuff and told us to wait right there. He came back with three Stitch pins for Tyler and would not let us trade any of our pins for them! The Disney magic was still following us in the airport.

We made it through security without any problems. Tyler held Stitch in his lap as we pushed the two little ones in their stroller. We received lots of smiles. Many people stopped to ask if there was someone holding Stitch in the stroller as you could only see Tyler’s legs. I am not sure why I did not take a picture of this. Hayley stayed awake the first leg of the flight with me while everyone else slept. Then everyone crashed on the second leg. We made it back to our home airport a little after 10 PM. It was truly a magic trip from beginning to end.

I will post some more photopass photos once my CD arrives! Thank you for everyone that has read along whether or not you posted comments. I hope you enjoyed our journey.

Thank you for the compliments! It was sad to actually finish the report, but I am happy that I could share it with so many new friends too! Tyler loves to look at the pictures from his trip. As soon as I get the photopass CD, I am going to make him a Stitch collage for his room. I purchased a multi-picture insert frame from Michaels when they were on sale before Christmas for about $4 after all of the discounts. It was normally $20! It will look great in his room! :banana:

Your report was so awesome, hon. I looooove the picture at Crystal Palace when Hayley is looking up at Tigger as he visits your table..she just looks like she's in love! How cool of the Cafe Manager to set up the special presents for the kids. Tyler is sooo cute with the giant stitch! I was hoping as I was looking at the pics that you were able to get it for him. Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us. :lovestruc

Thank you! I do love that expression on Hayley's face! The manager at All Star Sports went above and beyond to make the ending to our trip so magical. He does love his giant Stitch. I loved sharing our trip with everyone. I can't wait to read about Piper's trip. It will be here before you know it! :woohoo:

Congratulations!!!! Although I can imagine that it's a bittersweet ending.

2 quick questions: they are relocating/replacing ToonTown????? When and with what? We will likely be there twice in 2010.......best go get our fill, huh???

and were you able to take the balloons on the airplane? Matty was begging for one the last night we were there but we didn't think he would be able to bring it on the plane the next day. Just curious for future reference.

Again, really great job. I so enjoyed all the px and am amazed at all the magic your trip brought to Tyler and your family. I'll be anxiously awaiting the photopass px!!

I can't believe all the magical moments your family experienced on your trip!

How is Tyler doing with his casts? I hope they will only be on for a little while longer and that this will be the last time he'll need them.

As far as I can tell construction starts some time in 2010 and will be done in 2012. It looks like all of Toon Town except for Goofy's Barnstorm will be removed and the coaster will be re-themed. Here is a link about it: http://thedisneyblog.com/2009/09/12/d23-confirms-fantasyland-expansion-rumors/

and were you able to take the balloons on the airplane? Matty was begging for one the last night we were there but we didn't think he would be able to bring it on the plane the next day. Just curious for future reference.

I am not sure if you can take balloons on a plane. We were going to give them to kids in the food court, but then we ran out of time and almost missed the bus. We gave them to the Magic Express bus driver and he promised to give them to some kids who were arriving and just starting their trips. I hope he really did!

Again, really great job. I so enjoyed all the px and am amazed at all the magic your trip brought to Tyler and your family. I'll be anxiously awaiting the photopass px!!

I can't wait to see the Photopass photos too! It is so hard to see faces when you are editing them and they are so tiny. It took me a month and I still was not done, but gave up and ordered the disk. I kept having the program time out and take forever to load between each photo. I know it will be worth it when the CD arrives. I will have plenty of more photos to share!

Thank you! My children were blessed with lots of magic and pixie dust! I hope your sister applies for a Wish for your nephew. Any kid that has to endure many doctors and procedures instead of just getting to be a kid deserves to have a Wish granted! :wizard:

Thank you! You will have a magical time with your nephew. Just take a few extra minutes to chat with the cast members and say thank you or compliment them and it goes a long way. They experience a lot of rudeness during the day so when someone is kind, it makes an impression on them! He will have a fabulous time! :wizard:

So :sad1: to see the end of your trip report but so happy to read about Tyler getting the Stitch he's been wanting to get! :stitch: It's almost as big as he is! :rotfl: That was very nice of the manager to give each of the children a stuff toy, balloons and treats and the Disney store at the airport give the Stitch pins to Tyler.

He loves that Stitch! :stitch:

How is Tyler doing with his casts? I hope they will only be on for a little while longer and that this will be the last time he'll need them.

The current sets stays on until January 7th. Then unfortunately he has to go under again to get a new set on. The hope is that the new set will be able to just go from his knees down. Tyler gets around with his current casts. He is a little rough on them as I keep finding blue pieces of casts in my carpet. I think we will have to go in again soon to have them reinforced again! He walks in them and climbs as if they were part of his legs all along. He never complains. He is a little angel!

Can't wait to see the photopass pictures sometime soon! Thanks for sharing your family's trip with us here on the Disboard!

As soon as the Photopass photos arrive, I will start uploading them! I did not get the disk ordered until the 25th of December with all of the editing so hopefully it doesn't take too long! :stitch2:

Wow, the Disney magic followed you everywhere! I'm sad it's over, but happy to know we'll get one last smile from the photopass. It's the gift that keeps on giving. ;)

Disney Magic was abundant on our trip. Each time I though nothing else could possibly happen, something else did happen. It was truly a magic trip for a wonderful little boy! I am so excited and cannot wait to see the photopass photos! Thank you for reading along and sharing in Tyler's Wish! :grouphug:

The photopass CD is here! However, I cannot tell which picture was saved as which size. If anyone can help with this I would appreciate it. The 4x6s look just like the 5x7s.

Prior to adding the photopass photos I have a medical update on Tyler. We spent 6 hours at the hospital yesterday and he was sedated again to have his casts changed. The first set worked awesome! So, now he has cute little casts! Then these will come off on January 25th and he will go back to his leg braces. Right now he is in pain when walking since his knees could not move for 3 weeks, but the doctor said that he should be better in a few days.

Here is a picture of Tyler pushing his sister around with the full casts on.

Here he is waiting to go to sedation at the hospital.

It is for his club feet. When he was born the doctor said that he had the most severe case she had ever seen. We did physical therapy twice a week until he was 3. We did casts from when he was 3 weeks old until 12 weeks when he had a tendon releasing surgery. Otherwise he feet would look like a ballerina's in point shoes. Then we did another month of casts. Then we did braces full time with a bar between them to keep his feet turned out. Then we did just night time braces. At one point we were down to braces every other night. Then he started 3 year old preschool and the school was responsible for his physical therapy and they did not do any from Aug. - Feb. last year. That is when his feet started to turn back in. We tried braces with a bar between, but he would not tolerate it and it led to many sleepless nights for everyone. Then we went back to regular night time braces, but he was tripping when he walked. The doctor explained that his bones in his feet and legs grew, but the muscles and tendons did not. The casts would force the feet to turn out and the muscles and tendons to stretch. Initially we thought we would have to do three sets of casts, but the first set worked so well, we only have to do two. Then he will go back to braces at night. His 4 year old preschool this year is very pro-active in physical therapy, which is also helping. He goes to a public school, but since he is special needs, the school provides his speech and physical therapy. He is an amazing little guy. The full leg casts did not slow him down one bit! :woohoo:

Aww! Tyler is such a trooper. Hope his legs are feeling better soon. I cant wait to see the photopass pics!

The photos are coming! Tyler is amazing. He just takes it all in stride and never complains!

He likes showing off his new casts. We will get them covered in signatures as soon as it makes it above freezing with the wind chill. Breanna's classmates want to sign them as well as his classmates.

The photopass photos default to a 5x7 size. I learned this the hard way with my Sept. ones. Then when you try to print them in a 4x6 size it cuts off the borders even though it looks just fine in preview windows. So, this time I saved each photo as a 4x6, 5x7 and 8x10, but there is no way to differentiate which is which on the disk. I guess I will email the photopass people again!

I think that the pictures are amazing. I'm amazed at the way Hayley interacts with the characters. My one granddaughter would never have went up so freely to them. Hayley is so sweet, as is Tyler. He is one fantastic trouper & big brother. :cheer2:

They did a great job with the photos. Better ones are to come! We went on a family trip in September and she was scared at first, but I think having an older sister that is not scared of the characters helps a lot. Tyler is great at adapting to all of his new challenges. He accepts them much better than I do some days!

Tyler and Hayley do take care of one another. Tyler looks out for her and protects her while Hayley teaches him to talk. It is a great partnership! He is walking this morning on his casts with no problems. It just took a little time for his knees to adjust.

More photopass photos are on their way!

By the third day my husband was protesting how many times we had to stop for photos, but the results are amazing! I hope your nephew gets the medical treatment that will help him! Early intervention is so essential before their bones grow too much. Also, have your sister see if he qualifies for a Wish!

Here are more photos from our Disney Hollywood Studios Day. The photos are just in random order on the disks.

First are Woody and Buzz. I never realized that their backdrop was Andy’s bed. I normally take close-ups of the characters and tried to capture three kids in the photos so I never paid attention to the backdrop.

Thank you! I did not really seek them out. They were just always right there. There are two more disks of photos to come!

Thank you! That is exactly how I feel about photos. Children grow up too fast and I need to capture lots of photos of each special moment! My baby, Hayley, turns two on the 23rd of this month! :scared1:

Thank you! He had a blast. He now loves showing off the video of him fighting Vader. He points to himself on the screen and says, "Me!" over and over. I was so nervous for him, but he was brave and unafraid! :darth:

That is the end! Can you believe that with one typed line per photo the typed trip report in a Word document is 146 pages long?!! Imagine how many pages it would be with photos. Now if only there was a magical print button to save Tyler’s report for him to read when he is older! :cheer2: :yay: :woohoo: :banana: :cool1:

I hate to see the TR end. I loved the little pucker on Hayley's face when she waas with Stitch! Tyler's face says it all when he was with Stitch, loved it!

You & your family are so nice & I hope all the best for you guys.
:yay:

Look at the screen and to the right side where Tyler is looking to (to the left of Tyler's hand) and you will see the price tag! :scared1:

I loved seeing the rest of the photopass pictures especially with all the different borders on them. It's sad to see that Tyler's wish trip report has come to a close. Thanks for all the time and effort you took to share this special trip with all of us on the disboard! Blessings to your family in this new year! :grouphug::thanks::stitch2:

146 pages!!! YIKES I've been figuring out how to save mine as well. I can't imagine printing out hundreds of pages. Hmmmmmmmm....

The 146 pages does not include photos or anyone's replies. If you figure out an inexpensive way to print it out, even in black and white, let me know!

We did not have a button so it was a little more challenging! We did finally get the "green" stamp on our GAC. Tyler did get his Wish to come true and so much more! :stitch2:

It is sad to see it end, but I will just have to read about all of the new Wish families that have yet to have their children's wishes come true! Tyler is in love with Stitch. He sleeps with the giant Stitch and a few smaller Stitches in his bed each night and at nap time. I tell him that Stitch will guard him and keep him safe!

Anyone who also has a facebook page can send me a PM and I will add you as a friend. Then you can continue to see pictures of the kids and follow on their adventures. I know I have already added several of you! I also plan on staying here and trying to provide helpful advice to new Wish families! :grouphug:
