This is Volume 2 of the Wish Trippers Community Thread!
First, Welcome to the WISH TRIPPERS thread!!
This thread is devoted to families that are planning and going on Wish Trips! This thread is designed to be a place where you can ask questions about your wish trips, get some information about wish trips and gain general support from some Mom's and Dad's that really understand what life with a special needs child is like.
If you are new to the DISboards - Welcome!! If you are new, scroll down to post #2 on this thread (just below on this page) and you will find lots of information designed just for our new friends!
We also welcome anyone else to the thread, too! Even you lurkers out there.
The original thread can be found here: Wish Trippers...Unite! VOLUME ONE
Wendygrace started this thread concept in 2007 to serve as a place where families planning Make-A-Wish trips could come and share stories, pictures, information, and just life! Thank you so much, Wendygrace, because many of us have become friends through your original thread!
So...let's keep the thread going...
Many of these families have chosen to write a trip report and you can find the links to ALL of the Wish Trip Reports right here: (This list includes many of the trips linked in Volume One!)
WE are HOME! Trip Reports!!

Amazing Grace's Wish Trip (links)-MAW/GKTW-Late June 04
2007
Wendygrace's Wish Trip - MAW/GKTW - Late June 07 Great pictures, magical moments! The founder of this thread wrote this one!
5dwarves' Wish Trip - Magic Moments/GKTW-August 07 Uber planner! Live report from Disney! Followed by a day by day report with pictures!
LeeLee2U's Wish Trip - Texas Wishing Well/Beach Club - September 07 Note they stayed at the Beach Club (Texas Wishing Well Funded Trip). This trip report includes hints for wheelchairs (manual push chair)
Bill Lin's Wish Trip - MAW/GKTW - September 07 Good index! Has a wealth of advice for Wish Trippers that has been linked on this Wish Trippers Unite thread!
Who'syourMickey's Wish Trip-Dream Factory/GKTW - September 07 Dream Factory trip. Good index! Great allergies information! Good info re: GKTW villas. TR is unfinished, though.
iluvmickeymouse!'s Wish Trip-MAW/GKTW-Oct.23-31, 2007 Great TR! Lots of pics. Very detailed. Lots of character interaction. Complete with Photopass pics!
**** Update - I have been asked to do something new on here. Some of you guys would like to know which of these TR's are FINISHED so that you don't get all caught up in one and have no real hope of an ending. Sorta like reading a cliffhanger that has never been finished.
So, I will start with the TR's that started over a year ago and mark the ones that are FINISHED.
If yours is NOT FINISHED, please don't worry...I am going to wait about 6 months before I even mark the TR's, so most of you guys will have plenty of time to finish...and I know there are many reasons why a TR would be unfinished - taking care of your family comes FIRST - but this will help our new folks to be able to pick some TR's that are completely finished so that they can use them to plan their trip.
