A Wish Granted - One Magical Morning Photopass PICS! 10/12

[jenb1023]

I have tears in my eyes from reading the update too and I already knew about the spike. What a special treasure for Lucas! The only one given EVER! These moments are one of the many reasons why I WDW so much!

Walt Disney once said: "You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality."

Without you, Maroo, this would not have been possible! You took the time to find answers when they were told no! This whole Magical Day was thanks to so many people taking the time to care about a very special child and his AWESOME family! I am just grateful that everyone stepped up for this one. My emails were sent to everyone I could think of, ONE person wrote me back, one very dear friend that took the time to pass the request along. You wrote the Disboard message, I sent the email, he passed it along to the fabulously wonderful people of Main Street and the day was created! Wonderful people taking the time to care! Everyone played their part to creat the Magic!!! I am just honored that I was able to help! Much love to everyone involved! I can't wait to hear the rest of the story!

CDSTapisRouge - You and Maroo along with the amazing Cast Members at WDW made a little boy's wish plus more come true! You all are amazingly special, caring people!

CDSTapisRouge....thanks to you and MAROO for making this so wonderful for Lucas.

I followed this on Twitter ( Iactually had to go set up an account so I could follow along)...I cried then, and I actually do the same thing when I read it here!

I want to make sure no one missed this in scrolling through the fine print....

So I am about to BOLD it...

THIS is the person who made this happen for Lucas!

Thank you so much for finding us!

I realized late last night that I had not emailed you the trip report link yet. It was on my list for this morning.

You are no longer anonymous! Thank you for your persistence!

Much love and thanks to you!!!

And without further ado - On with the story!!

A COMPLETELY Empty Main Street!

Maroo, you're my super hero!!

Kathy

You are so sweet. But really...I didn't really do anything!

Now below...... There's your hero!

She didn't know Lucas. She is a busy Mom. And stopped her world to persistently create magic for Lucas and his family.

I was just very, very fortunate to be able to participate.

You know... I usually don't let things "get to me"... but I've got tears in my eyes!!!

Sorry...really should put a TISSUE ALERT on this whole TR.

The only one EVER! Pretty awesome!

His Mom wrote me today and said that they were able to get a shadow box to keep the spike in so they can hang it in his room.

Thank you! Thank you for following along, too! I think you will enjoy Twitter. I never thought I would...but the messages are so short and you get pictures...so it is easy to follow along.

Thank you for the information about their thread being locked! It was moved to completed reports and she has not even started yet! But I emailed OhMari and hopefully she can move it back.

Hi there!!! Long time no see!!

Please let others know this is out there, too...I would love for everyone on the DIS to get to see this! It was just an awesome morning!!

 

[maroo]

This whole morning was a wonderful, fascinating experience for all of us. But I have to say…for me…one of the highlights of the whole thing is coming up (and this says a LOT – it was a magical morning!)…

By this point the sun was starting to rise. But we were still the only guests in sight. We were led through the tunnel into the Magic Kingdom.

Check out the vehicle driving on Main Street – they were still cleaning up from the night before!

And I followed Lucas and his family into the Magic Kingdom.

Surreal. Just surreal. There was no one there but US! A few employees walking here and there – but the Magic Kingdom was ours!

Of course, this was an occasion for LOTS of pictures! As a good DISer, I hope I don’t disappoint here. As I walked around Main Street, I was already thinking about THIS trip report. About how cool this was going to be to share with all of my Disney friends.

You guys GET IT!

My friends at home have no idea how cool this is….But you guys. You know.

I am leaving these pictures pretty big…just so you guys can really see!

The sun coming up....

You know.... They say a picture is worth a thousand words....

So I will just leave it at that....

My grandfather was an engineer on the railroad - the EJ &E (from Chicago to Gary IN - and back!)

Maroo continued prayers for a peaceful recovery!!
