Little Warrior's Wish Come True -- Marenna's Trip Report

[jham]

I'm so glad that not only did Marenna get to meet Cinderella but that it was such a magical special night! It looked like all the kids were having so much fun.

I'm sorry to hear you did not enjoy Sea World. It sounds like you had fun meeting Cinderella. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip.

I'm sorry to hear you did not enjoy Sea World.

Ehh, (shrug) ... it was free, you know? I hate to complain, looking a gift horse in the mouth. But it was very helpful for me when other MAW-ers told the fabulous and the not as fabulous so that I was better prepared for our trip.

It's the code.

Now, by the same token ... that was just us. I know there are others who had fabulous trips to Sea World.

We appreciate it...so much...sharing the good with the bad!

Every family is different...but if you read enough trip reports, you figure out what most families enjoyed and what most families found to be not worth the time.

Time is SO precious on a wish trip that it is great to have honest opinions of things you got to do! Keep em coming!!!

The general concensus - it seems...for most families - is that the dolphin feeding is worth the trip...but for many families, they would have been just fine going to feed the dolphins and let that be it.

The wish trip is a gift and for ordinary families going to Disney, it may seem ungrateful to talk about what you didn't enjoy. But it is a once in a lifetime trip and your TR doesn't just save the memories for you, it is also used for months and months to come by other wish families to plan their trips! Keep em coming!!!

I am absolutely loving your TR. Your kids are adorable! You have me laughing and crying both! The Bert and Mary Poppin's was incredible, and I love Marenna scowling at Lady Tremaine! Can't wait to read more!

Sunday morning we got up, ate breakfast in our villa, and headed out to Animal Kingdom. We knew that we were going to end at Epcot, so we parked there and took a bus to AK.

Kaziah was very excited. One of her favorite characters is Pocahontas. Pocahontas was really cute. She asked how we journeyed here. When Jackson said, "By plane," she just looked at him blankly and said she didn't know what that was.

Marenna LOVES Donald Duck. I said something about how I wasn't sure why, and a friend said, "Because he's AWESOME." Hmm. I guess there's a Donald Duck Cult.

Tom's favorite is Goofy!

And who doesn't love Chip and Dale? By the way, Animal Kingdom was good about pulling us to the front for pictures. We waited in line for Donald, and they told us "don't do that!" We did, occasionally, have to lurk around the "exit," making sure the GAC and button were visible. But they took it from there.

We were walking down the path to see Eeyore, Pooh and Tigger, and here came Pooh behind us. He grabbed hands -- this is one of my favorite pics.

OH NO, Pooh is eating Kaziah!!!

Phew, it was just a kiss.

We REALLY wanted to see Piglet -- note Marenna's gorgeous Big Give dress. But they told us that the only place to see Piglet was at the Crystal Palace! So, be warned, if you're a Piglet fan.

Sometime after this, Marenna sacked out.

So I sent the older ones off with Tom to do the Yeti ride. Meanwhile, we went looking for the Chai Freeze. Had to meander a bit -- it's off to the side. Huh ... no straw, no lid. The CM explained that it's for the animals' protection. Yep. It's not good for animals to drink with straws. They drink too fast and get brain freeze.

Marenna woke up and we squeezed in a safari before we left AK.

Took a bus, headed back to Epcot ...

I had no idea that you could only see Piglet at the crystal palace! I really do learn something new every day!

the kids all look so cute! I love Pooh holding their hands!

Yeah, I had been under the impression that the monorail connected everything. Such a cute newbie. To go between the two, ya gotta take a bus. Or your car. But it was SO nice at the end of Epcot to just walk out to our car. OH ... and at Epcot, if you ask for the Diamond Parking (just show your child's GKTW button), you are right up front!

 

[WishMom09]

Oh I just LOVE that pic of Pooh holding their hands! That is too sweet!
Looks like a fun morning at AK...can't wait to read more!!
