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

[aaaateamsgrandma]

Maroo, I have read your entire TR and Matt1026'. I am truly amazed as to what it takes to make this happen for this wonderful family. Yes, I've cried plenty. Good tears for the most part. I wish nothing but good things for this family and for you. What you have done for them and all of the other families is such an amazing and unselfish gift.

WOOOWWWW! I can't believe there are DISers that were there and got photos and posted about it!

Amazing

You had me hooked from the beginning but the railroad spike really got me 110% hooked. The railroad spike was the first onset of the happy tears and then Mickey with his arms spread out got the water works moving.

Can't wait to read the rest of it. Such a heart-warming TR!!!

I keep putting off updating this...

Because I want to respond to each one of you guys individually...

I am overwhelmed by the PM's, emails, thread messages and posts here.

I am so glad that you guys are enjoying this Trip Report. And while I really want to respond to each one of you individually...this HUGE HUG will have to do for now.

Before I go on... (And this WILL go on!) I want to take this opportunity to address a few of you guys. Many of you guys have asked, "What can I do to help?" How can you contribute to future magical moments for our DIS wish kids.

I am going to give you guys a few thoughts about that...for everyone reading this!


From what I know from these families...the BEST thing anyone can do is to support them. Pray for them. Write them messages. Follow their trip reports. Post. That is such an encouragement to many of our families.

THIS is the Wish Trippers Unite Thread. Many wish trips are listed here...pre-trip reports and Trip Reports. They are filled with magic before the kids even leave for Disney.


A few of our families have very sick children. Visit their blogs. Post messages.

Here is one - but there are many!! Most of our wish families have the links to their blogs in their signatures. Mya's Mom has finished her trip report and does not post as much now.

Mya's Caringbridge Site Mya has not been doing well and I know her Mom would really appreciate visitors to her page.


There are a few of you guys that have wanted to do something tangible. If so...check out this website...

www.disbiggive.com

This was created by DISers for DISers that want to make clothes, iron on shirts and send small gifts directly to the wish families. The more people we have participate the more families we can include in The Big Give.



Thank you ALL so very much for your posts to this thread and the other threads on the DIS that have brought you here to read this.

Join us in making more magic for these very special families.

I am organizing the pictures from the WONDERFUL DISers that have sent some to us...

I will try to do a real update tomorrow morning!

 

[maroo]

Where were we?

Ah...

The most magical morning EVER, I believe!

While we were boarding the train to come to Main Street and welcome the folks waiting for rope drop...there were DISers in the crowd.

Now...we did not know these DISers. We had no idea that there would be DISers out there taking pictures of US. But there were...and not just one...

So far I have received pics from THREE of them.

HUGE thank you to livinlife25 who started a thread on the Theme Parks Board to offer pictures. This caught the attention of Tink's Pixieduster and TillyMarigold.


Tink's Pixieduster even had her sister send us pictures!

TillyMarigold is still out of pocket and has not been able to forward hers to us...but once she does, I will post them for you guys!

I will post these in a chronological order of sorts...

Before the magic begins...

Don't you just love the pumpkins!!

Citizen of Main Street welcoming everyone to The Most Magical Place on Earth!

Main Street Singers present "Good Morning" including lyrics like:

Good Morning!
Good Morning!
It's great to stay up late!
Good Morning!
Good Morning to you, and you, and you, and you!

Then a big moment happens.....


The TRAIN....

Oh how I wish I could insert music right here! Or a train whistle? Woot Woot!

And out step the characters...

They are, of course, in character 100% of the time. Snow White daintily stepping off the train!

Continued in next post...

 

[maroo]

And of course Mickey himself! Followed by us...

When we got off the train we were escorted to get handfuls of confetti. I remember this all so well...and then I don't. I remember the feeling of being up there...There are not enough of these to describe that. But I have NO idea what this guy is saying to us?

As I look back on these pictures...I notice the boys seem so quiet. I think they are stunned by the crowd. Probably an overwhelming sight for the boys!

Check it out...looks like Lucas is eating the rail! Nevermind that I got swine flu when I was there and he never got sick. Miracle, I say!

I didn't eat any railings.

Is it just me...or does it seem like Lori is pointing directly at the DISer that is taking her picture that she doesn't know? Looks like Lori is pointing out all of the nice people!

And then...as fast as it started...(This whole process was just a few minutes!)...it was time...

To open the Magic Kingdom.....


Countdown!



10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1


And we threw the confetti!!

And it went EVERYWHERE!

And the Magic Kingdom is officially open for the day!!!!!


Photopass Pictures!

 

[eandesmom]

Oh my gosh I get tearier (is that a word?) with every post on this thread! What amazing pictures. What a gift!

 

[kdzbear]

The new update and pictures brought a new flood of happy tears. The people on this site are amazing! Thank you for everyone that shared in this family's trip, Wish and magical moment! Wow!

 

[reelmom]

This is truly amazing. Thanks to all who keep making this trip magical.

Now...we did not know these DISers. We had no idea that there would be DISers out there taking pictures of US. But there were...and not just one...

So far I have received pics from THREE of them.

Don't you just love the pumpkins!!

Most assuredly I do love the pumpkins, and I cannot wait to see them again in less than two weeks!

It is so cool that you have these great pictures of your magical morning from the other side of the tracks. I love seeing it all, and I wasn't even a part of it, so I know how much it means to you guys.

 

[acwsmom]

I love, love, love reading this trip report! And I bawled like a baby when I saw Mickey holding his arms open wide for the boys. What a great Magical Moment! Thanks for sharing!

Maroo,

Words escape me. I followed the thread on Theme Parks but this is more than I could imagine.

Just so, so special.
