Is there a group on Facebook for wish families from the dis boards? I would love it if there was. I am excited I will get to meet some of you and your families.
Yea!

I can hardly think of anything but this wish trip for Jude. It's really so fun reading all the trip reports and hearing everyone's plans so if there isn't a Facebook group. Would anyone participate if there was one?
Thanks all

You could always check with GKTW about the tickets, I know they offer some other complimentary or discount tickets to other attractions, I just don't know if Discovery Cove is one of them.

I couldn't find a group so I started one.
Search for it on Facebook: DisBoard Wish Trippers

It's a closed group for now but once everyone who wants joins in- I can change it to a secret group.
I am looking forward to getting to know y'all better!

Probably user error but I can't find it!

I couldn't find it either but there is an existing one. It isn't just for dis members though. Search Disney wish trip for special needs. It is pretty new.

We are there... So far only a few members.
Disboard wish trippers is the name of the group.

In the meantime:
I would love some advice. We have two children who use a walker, wheelchair, or stroller because of disability and one who is just four and will need a stroller. Normally we take a double stroller and a single stroller and then there is always an option to ride.

I got good news yesterday and our kiddos two wheelchairs that have taken forever to get approved by insurance are ready and they will have them this week.

So what do we bring on the trip?
Two wheelchairs
Two walkers
Two strollers

Yikes!
Help!
I asked them if we could bring one of each that way we have some options. And they both really want to have their own wheelchairs with them. I can't imagine how we are going to swing this. One of our kids gets overheated easily so I am inclined to think that she might want the stroller with the big sun shade.

Thanks in advance for your help!
Sarah

Thanks Judy. I will look into that!

Hi Jennine. Just checking in to see how your son is doing and if you have an update about the Sunshine Foundation and a potential wish trip.

I wanted to make one comment for those having trouble finding the Facebook group, make sure you search disboard wish trippers and NOT disboards wish trippers, I first searched for it with an s on the end of disboard and it didn't come up, but as soon as I typed it without the s it popped right up. Hope that might help someone who is having trouble

So I talked to my sons wish grantors this afternoon and it looks like we will be going to GKTW/ Disney at the end of April or beginning of May. He's going to get back to me on the exact dates. I've read a lot of pretrip and trip reports but none of them from the past year. Does anyone have any advice on things that they feel have worked the best for them or things they might not do if they went again. My husband and I have a 9 year old, 7 year old, 5 year old and 3 year old.

Our wish granters will be coming out sunday at 10. The kids are so excited they went to library and got books on Disney and universal and have been reading them all week.

 

[Roseanne Whiting]

We just got our dates May15-21st. Is anyone else going during that time?

We just found it our 3 year old daughter will be going to Disney May 12-18! We can not wait! This will be the first trip to Disney for her, my husband and me!

I have been looking at this site since the end of January when we found out our daughter would be granted a wish! Our daughter has been through a lot since birth. She was born with down syndrome, then had about 15 surgeries and tons of hospitalizations with recurrent pnemounia until January of 2014 when we were hit with the biggest medical thing in our life. She was diagnosed with ALL leukemia and have dealt with lots since than! We need this break especially since last month she had PCP pnemounia and than a week ago was diagnosed with regular pnemounia along with still getting chemo treatments! She is one strong girl and she is excited to be a princess on her birthday at Disney!

Hi!!!!! We are going to be there May 15-21 so we will be there at the same time. I hope your little one is feeling better. It's so nice she's going to get to spend her birthday there. My daughter had wanted us to go during her birthday but we are going 6 days after.

 

[Madison Maylynn mom]

We will have to meet up sometime! We have been planning like crazy plus my mom and dad are joining us!

Would love to have matching wish trip shirts for our family. Any ideas where to find them? Have seen some cute one on past TR but nothing recent. Thanks!
