    Maddie Makes a Wish

    I'd love to do a trip report, but life is just too crazy right now. Hopefully, things will settle down soon Madison (and our family) was in Mickey's Jammin' Jungle Parade at the AK, so she got her wish to "ride in a float in a parade." It was very, very cool. Sorry I haven't been around...

    Different kind of Disablity.

    Have you considered a cooling vest? My DD has a metabolic condition that causes heat intolerance and wears a cooling vest for temperatures greater than 75 degrees. They have pretty basic ones that you wet with water (about $50) all the way up to ones that include ice packs (about $200). It may...

    Give Kids the World Village, Wish Granters, and Autism

    The doctor decides what they consider "life threatening" and then they submit the paperwork to MAW. MAW then has their own medical consultant decide if it fits the criteria set by MAW. My DD could have qualified several years ago, but we decided to wait until her condition was impacting her life...

    Visiting with EDS, need a push chair or wheel chair...

    Try Orlando Medical Rentals. They have several strollers/wheelchairs and deliver right to the resorts.

    DS2 has some sensory issues with LOUD noise

    We use the "Peltor Jr" noise cancelling headphones and they work great. My DD used them many times on her recent trip (for shows, rides, etc) and she wasn't bothered by the noise at all. She uses them at school for assemblies and fire drills, too.

    Cinderella Dinners

    We done the dinner at 1900 Park Fare twice and had two different experiences. First time (Oct 2011) was calm with great character interaction and great food. Second time (May 2013) was a huge disappointment. We had an hour wait past our reservation time, the restaurant was beyond chaotic...

    Make A Wish: Rain, Wishes and Magic April 27-May 4 Trip

    She did have a jungle print type outfit on Tuesday, but no colorful hair extensions. On that day, her hair would have still been in the BBB bun from the day before. Were you at Village Idol? She was the one that fell at the end of her performance and had to be carried off the stage crying!

    We got back very late Saturday night. The trip was absolutely wonderful, despite quite a bit of rain. I am in major GKTW withdrawal now and feel sad every time that I think about how wonderful and magical that place is. I kept crying on the way home, aware that we were coming back to the reality...

    Make A Wish: Rain, Wishes and Magic April 27-May 4 Trip

    So excited to read about your trip! We kept looking for you guys all over GKTW but I didn't see anyone that seemed to resemble your pictures. We probably crossed paths a bunch over the week and didn't even realize it! We had an amazing time, despite all the rain, and I'm sure you guys did as well.

    Anyone know if they have life jackets at GKTW? We were going to bring our own, but it takes up so much space in my suitcase :) Also, does GKTW also have a mid-day (3ish) orientation?

    We had our send-off party on Saturday and it was awesome! MAW has been wonderfully generous to our family and made sure that every detail was taken care of. We received our flight information (finally!) and get to Orlando at noon on Sunday and don't leave until 6:30 on Saturday ... giving us 7...

    Maddie Makes a Wish

    We had an amazing send-off party yesterday! MAW brought a beautiful Tinkerbell cake and princess balloons and a bunch of travel presents (a rolling suitcase, beach gear, princess wings and tutu, disposable cameras, a photo album, plane activities) and gave us all of our info. There's a small (we...

    Don't worry too much. The storybook dining in Epcot is not hard to get reservations for. You can typically get them even a few weeks before you need them. The castle in MK is a different story :)

    Make a Wish (and other organizations) - Wish Trippers UNITE! Volume SIX!

    My understanding is that the button, and other MAW perks, can't be used past the dates of your "official wish" (not including extension). You would need to get a GAC pass from Guest Services at AK, which will help you with your needs. You won't have the GKTW/MAW perks, but the GAC should help...

    Once you get back home, you will load the pictures from your card onto your computer, make any edits you want, and order a CD with your pictures on it. The CD will be sent to you once you order it. Glad you are having a great time!
