Abby Girl's Wish Trip MAW/GTKW Pre Trip Report Feb 24 - March 2, 2011

[fulseasmama]

I hope you all have an amazing trip!!! Not Tim either but I thought I would just let you know....As for getting to GKTW you will need $2.00 cash...at the first toll booth it costs $1.25 so you give them the $2.00 and they give you $.75 which you will need as the next toll booth is unmanned and you need exact change. Your GKTW greeter will have a sign with Abby's name on it and on the back is very clear directions on getting to GKTW so don't worry about taking directions with you.

Have a magical vacation with your amazing family. I hope it is perfect!

 

[that's nice]

I know we are so excited!!!! Tim, question for you. Do you remember the tolls and how much we need for them?

Sorry I didn't see this earlier....

Tim, I have been watching the weather since the very first second I could We are looking forward to warm nice weather and we are very excited that Abby will be able to swim, because that relieves her bone pain so much

Thanks for all your help in helping me plan and all your suggestions.

Thank you Blessedmom4!

We now have about 37 hours Still have lots to do, but I will get it all done! My stomach is going crazy with nerves and excitement! Does anyone know if we should call the Limo place and confirm or does MAW? Just trying to cover any loose ends.

Down to an HOURLY countdown...

I am glad I could help some. I knew the map was on the back of the welcome card from reading TONS of TR's. Of course at this point, I have to re-read everything because the details get lost. I have started taking notes to help me remember. I thought you might like to have an idea of where the tolls were (can you tell I can be an overly compulsive planner ). I hope today goes smoothly and that you have a minute to rest and breathe... Have a MARVELOUS time!!!

I have read and reread so many TR's. I also took notes, but I guess there were some notes I forgot. I was obsessive about planning and then I hit the point that when I tried to plan I just broke down and cried with all the information. So from that point on I gave up on the planning and just did a basic agenda, we do have things at the parks we can't leave without seeing, but other than that we are just going to take it as it comes.

You're welcome! I'm glad it made it in time! My girls and I had so much fun making their autograph books. My girls had ones just like them this past November and got so much extra attention from the characters. I hope your kids have just as much fun with theirs as we did with ours! Have a great trip!!!!!!

Finally I am posting the past few BIG GIVES that we have received.

The first ones are from Kendra - effervescent. We got these when Tilear was in the hospital and of course we had to open them as soon as we came home, that is why the only one you see the face of is Abby!!! You did an amazing job on the shirts and Abby's outfit.

Kaila with her shirt, sorry she came home and just crashed on the chair.

Tilear with his shirt.

Abby with her outfit!

The next one came from The Jordon Family- The outfit is amazing. Thank you so much.

This one is from The Steward Family, I love how the shirt looks like postage stamps of Chip & Dale.

These shirts are adroable for Kaila, she loved them. If I remember right the dis name was Disney2002, I am so sorry if I didn't get the name right, this was when dad brought her home to change from the hospital and she was so excited to open something that dad let her open it without me. At least he remembered to take the pictures

These last photos are from Clairemolly. The shirts are awesome and everyone loved the autograph books!!!

As you can see he is feeling much much better

I can't thank everyone who participated in our BIG GIVE enough!!! All of you were wonderful and have made a huge impact in our lives and our trip!!! Thank you all so very very much!!!
