You are welcome. We weren't able to participate in our local Walk for Wishes this year, so I'm glad to be able to do so. As far as Wendy - she had to have her spleen, gall bladder and some Lymph Nodes removed a few weeks ago because her tumor had metastisized. But under the circumstances she...

For those of you still interested, I finally finished our trip report. Here is where I resumed it: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=43851515#post43851515

Wow - I am having such a hard time trying to wrap up our trip report! I think it is because I really don't want to close this chapter of our lives. Reading back over my previous posts brings such a bittersweet mixture of emotions and memories. I'm really not sure how I should do this, so I...

Friday, January 28, 2011 It was time to pack up and check out. We got final looks around the Lodge and did a bit more shopping before loading up the van. From Disney World we went to Give Kids the World because Wendy Rose wanted to and we’d get a good lunch for free. (We found a stone that...

Thursday, January 27, 2011 This morning the kids went to Animal Kingdom on the bus and rode the Kilimanjaro Safari. Stephen and Susanna went on Expedition Everest while Sarah, Wendy Rose, Melissa, and Heather ate chips with chicken nuggets or corn dogs. Then they all went on Triceratop Spin...

So far, today has been wonderful. We went to Magic Kingdom in the morning. Sarah, Stephen, Melissa, and Heather went together, then the rest of us were in another group. My group enjoyed the Swiss Family Treehouse, Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, Dad and Susanna went on Thunder Mountain...

Yay! A day to rest…I think we were all ready for that! For breakfast, we wanted Mickey waffles, so we rode various modes of transportation to look for them. First we took the boat to the Contemporary resort. It was nice, but I wouldn’t want to stay there. We didn’t find Mickey Waffles there, so...

Here it is-Monday afternoon. Magic Kingdom is very, well, magical! When we got there, some people dressed in old fashioned clothes were dancing. Dad, Mom, Melissa, Heather, and I were a group, and the rest of the kids were the other group. One of the first things we enjoyed was Mickey’s...

We finally got to sleep after a lot of chattering last night. Today we got to Epcot! Right now, Sarah is watching “Must Do’s at Disney” on TV. We got a wake up call from Donald! How cool is that? Well, here we are taking our afternoon break. What a morning! On the way to Epcot, Dad...

THE DISNEY TRIP January 22 through 28, 2011 By Wendy Rose Moses Well, we are on our way! Melissa and Heather were very surprised about the limo. It seemed to take only a half hour to get here in the limo because it was so fun. During security, the alarm went off because of my brace...

Wow! - I can't believe I never finished our trip report. The time has just flown by, and we have been very busy with life, medical issues etc. If anybody still cares, I will do my best to finish within the next few days. In reading back through previous posts, I see I had promised to include...

We are the ones that stayed at Wilderness Lodge. You are correct about having to attend orientation etc. It was worth it though. Our chapter apparently did have to pull a few strings to get us to stay at the Lodge, it took quite a while before we had confirmation.

We stayed on property, at Wilderness Lodge! For us it was the best choice, although GKTW is an amazing place. GKTW is somewhat oriented toward younger kids. It will be entirely up to your local chapter whether or not they will book you on property. I think it may have helped us that we went...

Just updated our Trip Report: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=40383813&postcount=99

Wednesday, January 26, 2011 We took the bus instead of the boat to Magic Kingdom in the morning because it was rainy. There Wendy Rose got her time with only Garry, Susanna, and me, as she originally expected the whole trip would be. We went to the Swiss Family Treehouse and took another trip...

My wife, Kim always has a small notepad with her. She is used to taking tons of notes at every doctor/hospital visit of Wendy's. On our trip, at every meal she would record every attraction we had been on, and also caught up with anyone who had been away from us. As she was writing her trip...

Tuesday, January 25, 2010 (From the start we had planned this day to be a relaxing one. We figured after a long day of traveling and then two full days at the parks we would be exhausted - and we were !)This day of rest began around 8:00 with phone calls regarding the furnace at home. While...

Monday, January 24 Many friends had asked Wendy Rose to write to them from Disney World, and because Wendy Rose likes to write, she was happy to comply. She worked on post cards this morning in order to get them mailed as soon as possible. Unfortunately, they were then forgotten and...

Sunday, January 23, 2011 This was our first day in a park. We boarded a bus and were on our way to Epcot. En route, we spotted a couple deer grazing at the edge of a wooded area, a wild turkey, and some type of swimming mammal. After letting the kids take in their long-awaited surroundings...
