Faith's MAW "Super" Wish Trip! 3/2-3/8

[FaithsWish]

I know what you mean ours is always 31 but this year since the 31 is on Friday and it happens to coincide with high school footballs games, the Mayor decided to hold Trick or Treat on 30.

I had not ever heard of such a thing until now. I have since learned that there is even a website dedicated to telling you what day Halloween will be held on for your zipcode. Craziness I tell ya.

Just a little update.

I managed to get a "Blue Friday" special at SeaWorld of buy one annual pass, get one free for DD22 and her boyfriend for Christmas presents. (He is Navy, stationed in FL) So if we end up fitting SeaWorld into Faith's MAW trip, I don't have to worry about DD22 ticket.

I am going to buy the Salute to the Troops Disney ticket on base tomorrow.

And.....I found the sweetest Cinderella dress for Faith!

It is actually an apron!

How perfect is that? Nothing will be bunching up under her while she is in her wheelchair and it will be super easy to lift on and off without having to actually take her out of the chair to get her in it.

Can we talk MagicBands and BOG? Not together of course.

Once we receive our complimentary tickets to WDW at GKTW, can we link them to a MagicBand like a regular ticket? Now that MagicBands can be bought at the Disney Store and can be used with offsite tickets I really like the idea of not having to mess with pulling out a paper ticket. One less thing for me to lose!

We had thought about eating lunch at Be Our Guest but I see that it now needs a FP+, but it is a FP+ that can only be linked to actual onsite resort reservations. Has anyone been able to eat at BOG with the MAW Genie Card since this change?

 

[FaithsWish]

Things are quiet here right now. We are fine-tuning the itinerary and watching Faith's excitement build. She is starting to understand that she really is getting to go meet Captain America!

She is having minor surgery on the 9th. Should be an easy-peasy one for a change.

 

[FaithsWish]

Could use some help with the ADR's for one of the days.

This will be the day we split between HS and Epcot. We are starting in HS because we are really hoping to get her in Jedi Academy. The rest of our day at HS is just go with the flow. Crowds are listed as a "3" in TPlans.

8am ADR at Hollywood & Vine
Jedi Training Academy

The second part of the day is where I could use some advice. We will head over to Epcot whenever we are done with HS. No set time, just whenever.

Epcot we do have some pretty set goals that she would like to do.

We must get autographs from ALL the Princesses. All. Of. Them.

Epcot is listed as a 5 that day and open until 9pm.

Would we do better to have and ADR at Akershus at:

3:15 pm - late lunch then head back into the park
8:00pm - late dinner then head back to GKTW

Keeping in mind that Faith will not eat a single thing there regardless so hunger will not play into it since we will feed her before either ADR.

Thought?

This was our project this weekend. Made these shirts for the Halloween Party at GKTW. Faith has the tutu and Mickey ears and the rest of us just have the matching shirts.

Faith's outpatient surgery went well today. She is home and tired, sore, sad and mad.

But as an aside, when the anesthesiologist was tubing her, he may have discovered the source of some persistent ear pain....

Her lower wisdom teeth are almost totally in.

What?!?!

Glad you are here! I am really starting to get excited for this too! I can not wait to see Faith's reaction to all of the wonderful things to come! Almost time to start our "Potato Head Countdown"!!

Kristi77 Faith is doing well. We hope she will be back to school on Monday. Ok, maybe I should rephrase that and say I hope she will be back to school.....I have a whole bunch of DVR'd shows I want to try and get caught up on before Holiday break!

How are you? How was the trip????

I would vote for the 3:15, since you'll have an early start that morning I really think you'll be ready for a nice break way before 8. However, I am an all out blast kinda person and prefer to bust it out as hard as possible and rest when I've gotten it all completed. If you're like me in that area then maybe the later would be better. Yes, Disney makes me a planning , commando touring style nut! If you see someone with a clipboard and a whistle, it's probably me. I am going to relax and enjoy our wish trip, I PROMISE!!

I'm an uber-planner too....I sure hope I can let go and relax during the trip also!

We had some pixie dust show up at our house today!

When we opened it, she whispered "Is this from the Disney wish fairy?"

She has not set Baymax down since! Thank you so much to the special couple who sent this our way!!!

That is exciting that your trip is getting so close! Your plans look like days full of fun!
