They just canceled our flight!!!!!

A question, I'm 16, but can I attend the orientation along with my mother? Or does it look weird for the wish kid to be at the orientation. I'm just the kid of person that likes to hear everything directly from the source.

Typically, they don't want the wish kid to be at orientation. The Village would prefer them out enjoying the Village.

Have a great time at Disney!

We were just in PR a few weeks ago for our mission trip. We LOVED PR!

I am so sorry your flight was cancelled! Does your Make a Wish chapter have a back-up plan that maybe you could leave in a day or two? I hope that you get to go and not be drenched from the hurricane. Keep us updated!

HEY EVERYONE! We've been without electricity for 41 and half hours. It just came back like ten minutes ago. My school still does not have electricity so I haven't been to school. They are tress on the roads and traffic lights that are not functional.

MAW called me yesterday and informed that we will be leaving on Thursday. I just read on the MAW thread that another family will be leaving on Thursday. I'm praying really hard that Irene backs away from Florida!

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers! Hopefully, this will be my best vacation yet!

I am so happy to hear that you and your family are ok. We were praying for you! I figured that you were not on due to a power outage. Mabye this delay is a blessing in disguise as most of Irene will be long gone before you get to Disney. I hope that your trip is stress free, sunny and magical!

Aaaww thank you! We sure hope so! It seems as if it's deviating towards the northeast and that's awesome news!

2 DAYS!

I've really come to notice how different the MAW chapter in Puerto Rico is.
If you trip is a Disney trip or anything that involves travel, they don't throw you a send-off party. ( Not that I'm in demanding it- just pointing out a difference.) I'm quite fine with just going to Disney, no other party. LOL

BUT they did give me a MAW barbie which I thought was wonderful! I love my barbie!

Second, when my mom received our official MAW shirts and other info, we did NOT receive Make-A-Wish buttons, which I considered quite odd as I know for a fact that a year ago, they did have MAW buttons. My mom asked about it and she told me they didn't have. So I guess CM's will just identify us by our GKTW button...which we receive over there, right?

Third, our MAW chapter DOES NOT provide transportation from our house to the airport the day we leave. Strange. So, our sister's boyfriend will be taking us to the airport at 7:00 a.m.

And lastly, my MAW wish granter was the one called me to inform of the flight changes. Yes, not my mom, me. I found it pretty cool! I guess it was just because I'm 16 and all.


Does this have to do that it's Puerto Rico and all? Just wondering...

 

[Happy Dreams1]

Okay! So we are leaving tomorrow!!!! Please pray that Irene keeps going to the northeast.

Have a safe trip tomorrow! Enjoy a magical wish trip! Take lots of photos and just have fun!

Thanks! And thank you very much for following my PTR since the beginning

On another note:

My wish coordinator DOES NOT want me riding rides like Tower of Terror or Hulk(Universal).

I went to DisneyLAND this summer and only very few rides caused some sort of arrhythmia( I could feel my heart beating irregularly) but resolved itself in a matter of hours.

My mom's freaking out about me riding Hulk and she's actually saying she won't let me ride! I don't get it!

Also, how is the ride Mission: Space?

 

[kdzbear]

Claudia, I have to agree on Tower of Terror. Mission Space has two sides. Both sides give you the same visual and bacis ride experience. The side with the heart warnings has you experience 3Gs. I was not brave enough to try that side. I enjoyed the green "safe" side as each person is part of a four person team and each person has a job during the mission.

Enjoy the trip! Ride Soarin in Epcot. It is a great ride and no heart problems!

 

[Happy Dreams1]

Okay! Thanks for the suggestions! I'm actually quite excited for Soarin'!

Well, today is THE day! My MAW day!

 

[blessedmom4]

Have an AMAZING TIME Claudia! I am SO excited for you!

 

[mom2pixies]

Can't believe you are already on your wish trip, Claudia! Have an amazing time! Hope you get to do all that you want to do Pirate Princess!

I'll be looking for photos and details when you get back.....

 

[WDWJonasGirl]

Have a great time Claudia!!

I hope that you are having a fantastic time! We can't wait to hear all about it.
