You could call GKTW - 800-995-KIDS - but I am not sure if they will give you a straight answer at this point? Not sure if it is the official policy to offer them to stay? let us know what they say.Thanks for all the info Maroo!
I wonder if I could call GKTW after we have everything ironed out and ask if my mom could stay there with us? She's ok with getting her own tickets and everything. I think the big thing is having to stay somewhere else, away from us and alone as my step-dad would be not going with her.
I'll have to check out the trip report. The lady that came today said we won't need any money (I had mentioned that it would be a good time because of our tax refund as well as the weather.) that they will give us spending moeny to cover everything. We plan on using it as wisely as possible. I would just really love to take Sloan to Chef Mickey's or something.
I'm sure I will do a trip report as soon as we figure things out a bit more. Maybe in a month or so when we get more details on everything.
Does GKTW have the same schedule every week or does it change up? I would like to sort of half way plan our trip (as relaxed as possible of course) and want to maybe sure we're able to do the activities they offer there.
There are hotels quite close by. But some are sorta dumpy.
Normally it is the same...during the Holidays it may change up a bit...Right at the big Holidays. And sometimes they have extra parties that will make other things move to another night. But mostly it is the same.
you should ask your wish granter about the character dinner, mine booked ours for us, so we don't have to worry about taking the money out of the "extra" money, because its already done.
This is a great idea!
OH Maroo! Thank you so much, you almost made me cry!!! the email for it is pictures@decoratefordax.com
I also found this youtube video on facebook and there is a facebook group, just search Decorate for Dax..
The video is very touching, but about 8 minutes long, but make sure you watch about half way through. 200 people showed up on his lawn to pray after decorating the neighborhood and him and he family came out and were very touched. Breaks my heart.

I just can not watch that tonight. I will cry buckets.
I just typed out a lengthy message twice and got knocked offline before I hit send! Ugh!
The summary is, Deyki is hospitalized with pneumonia. He is getting better though and hopefully will go home sometime tomorrow. We need his blood cultures to be negative one more day in order to be discharged.
Gotta run, phone ringing!
Sooooo glad he is better!
Great job!!
