A WISH for Cold Tea? Ana's aMAWzing Disney Trip! 12/1-12/7 ~Last Entry~ p.127

[that's nice]

That spa really is a cute idea. It's a really nice thing for them to have for the kids. I love all of the pictures, especially the ones showing all of the stuffed animals lining the restaurant!

I'll bet that Juliana loved spending the time in the "spa" and getting her nails done. That would be such an awesome job to have.

The spa, like most other areas of GKTW, is staffed with volunteers. The 2 girls who were in there this night were so happy and nice to Juliana.

What a wonderful place GKTW Village is. Amazing. And all the dolls are so moving. Oh, yeah, and Juliana is just super adorable.

Thank you.

GKTW is wonderful... we hope to go back to visit again as a guest.

GKTW is an awesome place! I love that Juliana got her spa treatment! And having a choir sing while having dinner sure helps with the holiday spirit!

More please!

The carolers were such a treat for our dinner. The kids were really cute and Juliana loved listening to them sing!

I'm not sure if I will get an another update up before Christmas... but I will try tomorrow night.

Tim, I can't believe I missed your update! I was on right before you posted it since I remember reading Rosie's post that is right before it!

Anyway, so cool that Ana got pampered like she did! It is so hard to believe that everything you have shared so far all occurred in a very short time. This isn't the first time I have said this already, and I will probably say it a whole lot more before you are done with this TR, but GKTW is truly an amazing place!!!

Agree about the stuffed animals! I know if it happened to someone they would be like but how appropriate would it be for someone to be sitting there eating a bowl of soup and all of a sudden a stuffed Donald Duck drops right into their bowl.....

What a wonderful little Spa.
About those dolls, why don't they give them to kids instead of just displaying them?
I am actually older than the My little Pony rage the 1st time around. LOL! My younger sister did get into them though. So that really dates me. LOL! Claire is into them now though too.

I think you are on to something... I hope you can handle the summer heat in Florida though!

That's why God created the person that invented Air Conditioning!!!

Hey Tim,

I have just a quick moment but I wanted to comment on your fabulous update! Wow, Juliana was truly in the perfect place for her, a castle complete with spa! What fun! She and Melody looked absolutely darling there! Their smiles just lit up the picture. We're My Little Pony fans as well. Well, I mean my girls are.

Ok, an ice cream place right there? Hello, I'd be hitting that up every night! Did you guys?

All those dolls? Right up there while you're eating? Man, I'd have to keep my eyes on my food or else risk having a nightmare! It's so sweet that people donated them but eeeekkkk! It reminds me of Chucky! Or an episode from the Twilight Zone?

I'm so glad you all had the opportunity to be at GKTW. I'm in awe of how you were able to tear Juliana away from there to go anywhere else Heck, I'd love to hang out there and get my nails down, eat ice cream and make a Mr. Potato head! Awesome update, you're really giving us all a great tour of GKTW! Thanks Tim!

And I want to wish you, Mel and sweet Juliana a Merry, Merry Christmas! Have a wonderful holiday!

Oh, did you get all those presents wrapped? I finished mine up last night, silently cursing myself for not having enough gift bags! I thought I did but I ran out so I had to actually wrap gifts!

 

[dekkerdisneydreamer]

Hi Tim,

I wanted to get on the boards before I left work today to wish you, Mel, and Ana a superb holiday. I hope you all receive the blessings you deserve!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

It's so fun reading about your trip so far! I love how every little detail stands out on this trip, from Santa and his white "sleigh", to not being delayed and a package waiting for you on arrival! Wish trips are amazing, and it's amazing how many people it takes to make them that way, and yet, you hardly notice them because they don't want to be noticed. Amazing. I'm loving it so keep it coming.

 

[Mom2mitokids]

I love the new post. The spa looks cool. That wasn't there when we went. Reading your TR in ER made the time go a little faster.

 

[that's nice]

Tim, I can't believe I missed your update! I was on right before you posted it since I remember reading Rosie's post that is right before it!

I wonder how that happened?

Anyway, so cool that Ana got pampered like she did! It is so hard to believe that everything you have shared so far all occurred in a very short time. This isn't the first time I have said this already, and I will probably say it a whole lot more before you are done with this TR, but GKTW is truly an amazing place!!!

We arrived at GKTW shortly after 3.. we were at dinner around 6:15 and I had orientation at 7:30. It was a whirlwind of an afternoon.

I have used amazing about 100 times in this TR already...

Agree about the stuffed animals! I know if it happened to someone they would be like but how appropriate would it be for someone to be sitting there eating a bowl of soup and all of a sudden a stuffed Donald Duck drops right into their bowl.....

That would be a little scary!

What a wonderful little Spa.
About those dolls, why don't they give them to kids instead of just displaying them?

The dolls were donated to the village from Wish families. So they display them in the Gingerbread house.

I am actually older than the My little Pony rage the 1st time around. LOL! My younger sister did get into them though. So that really dates me. LOL! Claire is into them now though too.

Juliana has quite a few of them and calls them all Rainbow Dash.

That's why God created the person that invented Air Conditioning!!!

Just want to send you, Mel and Ana very Happy, Merry Christmas wishes, hope brings lots of fun gifts to our and you too!

Merry Christmas to the rest of Princess Ana faithful friends too!

Thank you!! Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!

Suuuuuuuure it's your girls. You are probably begging them to play ponies with you!

Ok, an ice cream place right there? Hello, I'd be hitting that up every night! Did you guys?

You can get ice cream from 7:30am till 9 or 10pm EVERYDAY! We did hit it up.. I wanted Juliana to get it for breakfast one day but it just didn't work out like that.

All those dolls? Right up there while you're eating? Man, I'd have to keep my eyes on my food or else risk having a nightmare! It's so sweet that people donated them but eeeekkkk! It reminds me of Chucky! Or an episode from the Twilight Zone?

Most of them are just stuffed animals but there are a few that are a little more scary than the rest.

I'm so glad you all had the opportunity to be at GKTW. I'm in awe of how you were able to tear Juliana away from there to go anywhere else Heck, I'd love to hang out there and get my nails down, eat ice cream and make a Mr. Potato head!

I was having fun hanging out at GKTW- just like Juliana!!!

I knew there was a lot to do at GKTW, that is one of the reasons I was trying to get our trip extended by a couple days.

And I want to wish you, Mel and sweet Juliana a Merry, Merry Christmas! Have a wonderful holiday!

Thank you!!! The same to you and your girls!

Oh, did you get all those presents wrapped? I finished mine up last night, silently cursing myself for not having enough gift bags! I thought I did but I ran out so I had to actually wrap gifts!

I've been wrapping presents everyday.... But I think we are finally done!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

It really was a great start to this trip... the whole day worked out well. I guess our flight could of been on time and I could of made the 3pm orientation... but the 7:30 one worked out ok for us.

I love the new post. The spa looks cool. That wasn't there when we went. Reading your TR in ER made the time go a little faster.

I am so sorry to hear Kylee got admitted. I hope she gets out earlier than expected. Spending a holiday in the hospital is no fun... especially Christmas.

 

[that's nice]

I doubt I will be on here the next few days. Tomorrow we have family coming over in the early afternoon staying till night. Melody is on call for work from 3p-11p so hopefully she doesn't get called in. Then I'm going to church at 12am for midnight mass. Christmas morning here will be exciting for sure.. from what I have heard, Santa is going to bring a bunch of great presents, including one of those BIG princess castles that you see in every gift shop in Disney.

I hope you all have a safe, happy, and joyous Christmas with your family and friends.

Merry Christmas!!!!

 

[Flossbolna]

Merry Christmas Tim and family! I hope you will enjoy the holidays!!

I did not have the time to comment on your updates recently, but I am still very much enjoying reading along! Thanks for writing this TR about this very special trip!

 

[smileycrissy]

Hi Tim, thanks for the links for the donations.

LOL, I can't seem to escape the cold weather! At least I had a few warm days when I got back.

I probably won't be on here either but wanted you wish you, Mel, and Ana a Merry Christmas. I hope you have tons of fun with the family.

 

[brookelizabeth]

I love the spa! What a great little touch! And I'm sure Juliana felt like a big girl getting a mani.

I LOVE that Hasbro donates all the proceeds from that pony. Makes me want to go out and buy a dozen of them!!

Did you hear the most recent Podcast? They are starting a campaign to raise money for GKTW, their goal is a million dollars! They told a VERY heart-touching story introducing the campaign. You'll need the tissues.

I hope you and your family have a VERY Merry Christmas!!!

 

[KatMark]

Merry Christmas to you, dear Tim, and to Mel and the beautiful and precious Princess Juliana. I can't wait to see pictures of the "Castle." Love you guys.

 

[tinytreasures]

Love that she got special spa treatment.
My kids thought the spa was so cool.
My kids got the airbrushed tatoo's I don't know if they still do those.
The boys got a card games that they still play with
