I have wanted a tattoo for a while but didn't want to give up donating blood for a year because of it. However I am going to Nicaragua for a missions trip in February so I'll be deferred for a year anyway. I plan to get an orange awareness ribbon (in honor of my daughter, a leukemia survivor)...

My son picked out the first two books in a trilogy to give his teacher today along with a gift card so she can get the 3rd book when it comes out in September. She was thrilled!! This afternoon I'll take the Chicken Soup book into my daughter's teacher. Hopefully she'll be as happy!

I got Michaela's teacher...

This is from my journal from Michaela's wish trip in 2006. (Michaela is also known as Mickey.) I will never forget this moment. "We stopped at a gift shop and started talking to one of the cast members there about meeting characters. He told us to go to the Beauty and the Beast Show and ask...

My daughter, Michaela, was diagnosed with ALL in Dec. 2004. We went on her wish trip to Disney World in April 2006. She was well into long term maintenance and did very well. Hopefully that gives you a bit of a time line from another leukemia kid. Hugs to you and your family. Jenny...

I washed my husband's running shoes in the washer. We took out the insoles. They came out looking almost new. I air dried them.

I love that!!!!

We used one of Disney's double strollers for dd10 (with Down syndrome) when we were there last August. She was just under 100 lbs then and was very comfy. We had no problems using it as a wheelchair. We would just hold up the red tag on the handle as we approached a CM and they would wave us...

DH has plantar fasciitis. The podiatrist made an insert for his shoe and it has made all the difference in the world. He was able to walk around Disney for 5 days with no pain. He really feels the pain if he goes several hours without the insert such as when we were at Great Wolf Lodge a...

We tithe to our local church. We also support the Indiana Down Syndrome Foundation and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society as our daughter is a leukemia survivor and has Down syndrome. In fact my husband will be doing a 100 mile bike ride in Honolulu this fall to raise money for LLS.

When we were at the P&PP last August, I was told that our regular GAC was not effective for the party. I needed one with a different colored stamp to use that evening. We found this out at Toon Town. We just toughed it out because I didn't want to hoof it all the way to the front of the park.

I have magnetic sunglasses that clip onto my regular glasses. As I was getting on it's a small world I bumped the rail with my hand that was holding the sunglasses and they fell into the water. I went to Guest Services the next day, but they were not there. I couldn't have lost them on...

We got our 8 year old son a DS Lite for Christmas. He has Pokemon Diamond and Pirates At Worlds End for it. He also plays his GBA games on it.

I am loving your trip report!! Thanks for sharing with us! We loved Sea World too! Dinner with Shamu was one of the main highlights of our trip.

Both kids (dd 10 and DS 8) have TV's in their rooms. Neither is hooked up to satellite. DD has a DVD/VHS player. DS has a PS2.

You leave tomorrow! I bet you are so excited!!! You will have the time of your lives for the next 7 days! Enjoy the magic!!

I have not heard of anyone getting a land/sea trip for a wish trip. I remember someone had asked for that and their wish organization said they had to choose since the land/sea would be like two trips.

Welcome back!! Can't wait to hear all about it! :)

Definitely buy the Photopass CD! It is so worth it. I agree with LeeLee about waiting till you get home to order it, though. The borders and autographs are fun to add. Plus you can crop and zoom and make the pictures look even better. It's well worth the extra money. We bought it on dd's...

Camster, I believe you do need to go to GKTW to pick up your tickets and info packet. When we were there in April '06 there were people in our orientation who were staying on WDW property. Have a great trip!
