[Mom2mitokids]

I have not read any other comments...so sorry if I repeat anything.

My comments will be in Pink.




I think our paths may cross?!?!?

It is going to be an insane trip for us...two adults with 3 teenagers and two of those are in wheelchairs...so I know my hands will be really full...and yours will be too - because this is your wish trip! It is sort of Lauren's "do over" trip for the things she missed on hers.

Remind me to check our list...I don't have it here...to see what parks we are going to and which days. I think we are only doing Disney.

Mary...I sure hope our paths to cross. I would love to meet you. Are you going to GKTW any day? Even if it's just to say hi. I would love to meet Lauren too.

Thank you for going over our plans. At AK..the kids wants to ride the rollercoaster, the Safari ride, and I would like to see the Lion King show. Maybe the Dinosaur ride(or was this at another park.

I won't forget the wish lounge...We will need it.

Kids can't wait to go to Busch Gardens. Looks kind of cool. I will be doing a TR with lots of pictures.

Too funny about Cracker Barrel. We don't have one and the last time we ate there we loved it. We will also get our share of Dunkin Donut ice coffee

Laughing about Cracker Barrel, we have them all over the place and go about once every five years... We also live near the Nascar Speedway (I know you said you were big fans). You could come vacation at my house and do both...we have a theme park nearby as well, although we never get to go

You might get to meet Maroo?!? How fun that would be!

Maroo, think October.....

Monday the 14th...9am..Go to Orientation if we don't make it the night before. 11am..Head to Animal Kingdom for a few hours. 3pm..Head to DHS. They have EMH so hopefully we can stay until it closes at 10pm. What's the odds of this happening? We may not go to AK

Tuesday the 15th...Disney World Day!! Kylee has a BBB at 10:25am(may call and see if they have a tad later one. Park closes at 11pm. Not sure we will make it that long. I know Kylee and I won't.

Wednesday the 16th... Epcot Day. We have never been, so like to spend the day there. open from 9-9

Thursday the 17th...Sea World and then Christmas at GKTW. Trying to see about doing a private meet and greet with Dolphins for Korissa. If somebody would call me back.

Friday the 18th...IOA/ Universal.. Not sure we can do both parks in one day or not. If not..IOA

Saturday the 19th...Last day at GKTW Free day. Do some stuff at GKTW, Maybe do that flying thing, Gadorland...ect

Sunday the 20th...Universal Studios if we didn't do it on the 18th..or if we did..may do a half day again

Monday the 21st....Beach day..better be a nice day. We are thinking Daytona Beach and hop on over to the Daytona raceway.

Tuesday the 22nd... Busch Gardens

Wed. the 23rd... Downtown Disney(take Steven to Ridemakers), eat at Cracker Barrel(this is a must), and maybe go to outlets. Go to airport about 4pm.

Does this sound ok?

SOUNDS GOOD!!!! we are planning on doing Seaworld the same day!!! then Christmas at GKTW too....

I wish we were able to do a few extra days to space it out some more....

Everything sounds great so far, I hope we are able to meet up sometime during the week to say hello...

I would say it is going to be pretty busy while you are there. It is the beginning of Spring Break season. Did you try to get the DTD BBB?
I want to do it at the castle. seem more real. I know..silly. We will just make sure we get to disney on time.

Illuminations is every night at 9pm. You can check the park times, parade times, and fireworks times here:

Thank you for the link
Have you thought about renting a house for the 4 nights? You would have more room, your own pool, etc... you probably can get something for around $500.

I did look, but what I saw.. they were all $900 plus.

I think we would be eating there alot more than once every 5 years..lol. We live by the California speedway. Though..we only have been there 3 times.

Sea World day is great, so you can do Christmas at GKTW. We will differently see each other that day.

We got a a gift from a very special lady named Nini(dis name..NiniMorris) Thursday night. She made Kylee a beautiful Cinderella dress with a tubie hole, so she can finally wear a dress with her pump on. We have been talking for sometime now. It started with me asking about dresses and holes for her tube and she volunteered her time to make one for Kylee. All this with her having neck surgery and planning a Disney trip for herself. I can't say Thank you enough to her. Kylee can not wait to wear it when we go to Disney World and get done up as a real Cinderella at BBB. Here's some pictures...a couple I took before she went to school and the rest was after school since we didn't get to try it on. Please excuse her messy hair.

Kylee opening up her gift. She was so suprised in the morning when I handed it to her

Trying to get the package opened

It's a dress!!!

Mom!!! It's a Cinderella dress!!

More pics in next post

I'm a Princess!!

Thank you Nini!!!!

 

[NiniMorris]

You are so very welcome!


I hope you have a ton of fun...and I expect to see pictures of BBB!!!!

That is a most wonderful gift.... I love the dress and the tube hole is great. I'm glad that she can wear a dress like the other girls are! It's the little extras....the details that can really make a huge difference. Now someone just needs to come up with a PD catheter belt that is cute and convenient! It was so tough to keep the tube secure and I had to tape it to my son's tummy everyday. We had a belt but 1. it was ugly 2. it wasn't convenient for a boy on steroids whose weight gain made it hard to fit the belt right! Sorry I got off on a rabbit trail! I'm so happy for you guys! can't wait to see the photos of her wearing it to BBB! Her smile is sooo cute!

 

[tinytreasures]

Your dd is beautiful
that dress is amazing

 

[blessedmom4]

SO HAPPY the magic has started! I loved the dress! As a g-tube Mom, I understand the need to have clothes that fit, are functional AND still let the child be a child...I love to read about happy stuff, Thanks for sharing!

 

[lawblond7]

That DRESS is amazing and she looks adorable -- what messy hair ()

I am sure you willhave a wonderful time and your plans look great - I am so glad you can stay 4 extra days.

 

[that's nice]

What a beautiful dress!!!!

NiniMorris... how thoughtful of you to make it for Kylee.





Kris- You know, you are like 40 something days away, aren't you?

Thank you Hopefully someone can come up with what you need. I'm not sure what a PD catheter is.

Thank you I think so too.

Technically..we haven't been asked yet to be part of the Big Give. Nini just volunteered to do a dress for Kylee, so she didn't have to wear a scratchy dress and I wouldn't have to put a hole in the dress that I was going to buy. This dress she can wear all day and not be uncomfortable. Kylee has about 3 dresses and all I had to cut a hole....which I hate to do, so I don't buy many dresses.

That DRESS is amazing and she looks adorable -- what messy hair ()

I am sure you willhave a wonderful time and your plans look great - I am so glad you can stay 4 extra days.

Thank you Sharon/COLOR]

What a beautiful dress!!!!

NiniMorris... how thoughtful of you to make it for Kylee.




Kris- You know, you are like 40 something days away, aren't you?

Thank you Tim. We have 48 days left.Nini is the best. For all she has been through...and still made a dress for Kylee.

What a beautiful dress for such a beautiful girl....She looks just like the princess she is!

Thank you Erika

 

[my2girlsrock]

She looks absolutely beautiful in the Cinderella dress!!! You can tell by her face how much she loves it....

I can not believe we are only 47 days away from leaving!!!! Can you?



Once we get towards 10 days it is going to be chaos in our house....

Kyle looks adorable in her dress! Ali loves the dresses with the button holes. Otherwise, we have to thread it up and out her collae, taping it to her shoulder blade. I have a cousin who is a fashion designer in NYC, and we're always getting on her to make cute tube feeding stuff. You all must be getting so excited. It's getting closer!

 

[twinmum]

What a beautiful dress...it is only outshone by your daughter's smile! She looks so happy to be a princess. Let's hope this is just the beginning of lots of smiles for all of you!
