If you want to do any of the character dining, you have to make the reservations yourself.

We are going on DD wish trip in less than 2 weeks, let me tell you it was a LOT of phone time and frustration getting cinderella breakfast!

you are still about 90 days out, make sure you call 90 days out if that is one of the character ones you want to do.

If you have any questions, you can PM me and I can tell you how I got CRT so late, i just got it last week, and that took a lot!!

We are scheduled to stay at GKTW also, we have not heard yet if they have damage or if they have re-opened. I will call on tues or wed to find out if we are going to be staying there or what is going on, after charlie, they shut down for about a week or so.

If anyone has heard about GKTW and their damage can they post it please!!

Thanks
Anne

Cuddlebugz I think we are going to be at GKTW at the same time!!!! Our wish trip is Dec 7-13 and our first trip to WDW!
Maybe we can help each other. These boards have been the best by far for information!!

Hi,
My family (dh,ds,dd and I) went on a Wish trip this past June to WDW. We asked if we can have an option to stay at one of the deluxe resorts( the Contemporary) instead of GKTW. My dd qualified for the Wish trip. She is not in a wheelchair, so that's why we opted to stay at the Contemporary resort.
Our Wish granter was able to give us a lot of info. Whatever questions I had,I always called or emailed him. Whatever questions he didn't have an answer to, he would call the Wish coordinator at the Make-A- Wish office and then he would get back to me.
I would say for any reservations you need( character meal, etc) ,
I would say to keep close contact with your Wish granter. That's what they are there for. Our Wish granter let us have a choice on what character meal my dd wanted. When we decided, our Wish granter made that reservation for us. We were on our own as of making PS for other meals, shows, etc.
When our Wish granter did his first visit with us a few months before our trip, my dh and I told him what our dd wanted to do as of Disney parks, Univeral Studios, etc.
Our Make-A- Wish office told us from the beginning that my dd's wish can be catered to what she wanted to do- that it is her wish.
It was wonderful to stay at the Contemporary resort. We were able to see the Wishes Fireworks from our room! Just beautiful!

Thank-you so much for the info.. We really wanted to stay at GKTW because it sounded real nice for my girls ages 7and 9. I just found out tonight from my wish volunteer that they well set up the dinner for us...

After reading this board a lot of times I ran out today and picked up the over the door shoe holder and a couple of other things. I know it is a ways off but I am shoppping now while things go on sale.. Like summer clothes..lol
