Thanks for the trip report!

Hopefully David will heal quickly.

We had a blizzard here too. Kids didn't have school today and mom got a snow day from work as well Got a lot done that I had been putting off or just didn't want to do after a long day of work. I believe our chapters board meets tomorrow so maybe some news soon!

Yay! I saw David was cleared to travel on his caring bridge site. I am sure is family is breathing a sigh of relief.

Our Wish Trip is 13 days away. I have a question I am hoping someone can answer. For rides that my DD cannot go on, do we need to get fast passes? OR does the rest of the family get GAC/Wish access even though she cannot participate in the ride. Two rides come to mind that I know the rest of us are going to want to go on that she just will not be able to do. Tower of Terror and Space Mountain. Are there any other rides where the rider has to sit in a seat by themselves completely separated from others in their party? It is one of my great regrets for her that she will never get to do SPace Mountain but I just don't see it being safe for her to sit in one of those bucket seats all by herself.

I am pretty much useless at work at this point because I am so flippin excited!!!

We only went to Animal Kingdom (as far as Disney and GAC/wish goes) but my DH wanted to go on this one ride, cant remember what it was called and our wish child was a tad too short. So he brought her back to me and walked back, they seen he was wearing the GAC and put him through in the fast lane. Elsa was no where near him. But that is us, I remember reading others experiences but cant tell you where to find it!

DD fell asleep in the car on the way to school today. And I am somewhat freaked out over it. I am so incredibly worried something is going to happen to her before the trip. Which I guess is a step in the right direction because I haven't worried that this would be her last trip ever (yes, I cannot even type the "D" word) in at least 2 weeks. Of course, I am now. Hmmm. . . perhaps I should add "Get anxiety meds" to my to do list?
We got the package in the mail today....can not believe almost here!!!!

Our son is older (10) so he could do pretty much everything he wanted at the Disney Parks. At Universal, there were some coasters he didn't want to ride but dad & daughter did. So they just wore the button and got right in. There was 1 coaster my husband and I wanted to ride but the kids didn't so they waited for us at a designated spot near the exit (our daughter is 13). My husband showed the button and we got right in.

You mentioned fast pass. You do not use fast passes. Your GKTW button will get you wherevee you need to go. There's usually a cast member at the front of the lines and you just show them your button and they tell you to either go to the handicap line or through the fast pass line (which you do NOT have to have. EVERYONE we encountered at every park knows about GKTW and will help you get the best possible access. You just have to ask and utilize your button. Sometimes we were even privately escorted to areas through the back. We joke that we felt as if we were famous and imagine that's how they treat the celebrities that visit the parks!

I don't remember there being any other thing that you had to sit by yourself besides Space Mtn. Of course any of the roller coasters you will be strapped in seperately. And Stitch's great escape you are separate. If you have a question, the Cast Members are always more than happy to help. They were so very helpful.

Good luck and have fun! It's amazing!

Sorry I haven't been on for so long - all caught up reading back.

2012bella13 So glad your DD is stable now, and received her wish. Sorry you weren't told everything in advance that would have helped you plan the trip. How wonderful that you are getting to go back to wdw in Feb., and visit GKTW.


Melissa - Can't wait to see the pic of your family in the MAW shirts.

Yay for the shirts, and that the trip is so close. Praying for your anxiety. Have a wonderful time.
