I also was thinking of maybe coffee mugs with Jack's photo on it and saying "thanks for making my Wish come true".....or something like that???

Ohh mugs are a good idea too!!

Hi,
I am busily planning our MAW trip before our next dr. appt. (Prescott has another upper respiratory infection). Anyway, our check out day of GKTW is a Thursday, but we are extending at our own expense offsite. So we will be in the area that day after checking out. Since we check out that morning are we able to come back and enjoy the Holiday Party that evening and have dinner? What about maybe using the GKTW tickets to visit Legoland or Kennedy Space Center on that Thursday? I'm just trying to plan our departure day and would love for Prescott to see Santa. If not I totally am OK with that, but I just don't know. Do any of you know? Getting excited, 98 days to go!!!

Absolutely, you can enjoy the holiday party that night! Once you are a wish family at GKTW you are always welcome to come back and enjoy anything that is going on at the Village.

We had thought about extending our trip too and doing the same things. I think you should be good to go back! YAY 98 days will be here soon!!!

WE HAVE DATES!!! Well…kinda. Our MaW person emailed today and said it will be at the end of April! So we said the 21st and I'm pretty sure that's when it will be!!!

nuts4wdw - Sorry Prescott has another upper respiratory infection. Hope he feels better very soon.

We are new to this site, but I love it!!! We are getting so much great information for Alexa's upcoming trip at the end of April 23-29. We are looking at getting shirts made for all 6 of us, we figured 4 designs, then we can wash and re wear them. What are some great shirt ideas you all have come up with for your trips? Alexa is our wish child and she is 10, we also have a 12 yr old daughter and a 8 & 6 yr old sons.
I wish I could figure out how to start a thread, but have not had luck there yet. lol I am not the greatest on the computer. lol
You are all the best!!

Welcome!! Looks like we will be there at the same time!! Our wish kid is also 10...and I have a 8 yr old boy.

As far as shirts, I thought about doing the same. I am not creative nor do I have a lot of money to get stuff done. But I like the idea about saying "xxx's wish trip 2013" or something like that.

Well, we finally made the decision today to pull Ava out of school. She will be home bound for the time being. Hopefully we can get her illness under control where she can go back next year.

Good luck!! I also homeschool my wish kid....he is just so sick and in and out of hospitals and so tired that he was missing at least 2-3 days A WEEK!! By the 2nd semester he had missed 35 days of school. Now we homeschool and love every min of it. It is so much easier to manage illness and school.

I know what you mean. Ava misses at least two days a week. As of this week she's missed 42 days. :-(.

Hugs We know how hard it is to be homebound. Hope she's able to return in the fall. Are you homeschooling, or tutoring through school?

Since we had a couple of snow days this week I was able to get a little planning done. I bought our tickets for a quick trip to Disney the night before we cruise. I also booked our shore excursions and completed our online checkin. We decided on the sea lion meet and auqa adventure at Atlantis in Nassau and renting bikes, tubes, and snorkel equipt at Castaway Cay. Our countdown is down to 42 days!!! With a lot of snow on the ground it can't come fast enough! Now off to do some more resting got a sinus inf that is kicking my buns!
