Liam's Wish Trip September 13-19th at GKTW

[Corrine 1973]

GREAT NEWS!!!!!

Liam's Doctor has officially cleared him for his trip.


Unfortunatly the days in July and August that I suggested were already booked up so that will be a no go. I just emailed Iris that any time in September would be good. Looking more at the second or third week so Liam can get a nice introduction into 1st grade. I didn't want him missing a week of school since we will probably miss lots more with Dr appts and illness but sometimes you need to put your families happiness above school. I am sure he will be able to make it up especially so close to the beginning.

So any way, I should have some real dates real soon.

That is great!! Sept is cooler and you can go MNSSHP!!

And... I am sorts partial since I will also be in the World in sept!!! Woo hoo!

 

[Corrine 1973]

That accapella thing sounds really cool!! Lauren needs one of those things to increase her lung capacity. She is only at 50%.

Here's a link so you can read up on it.

When are you going? How funny would it be if we were at the same time.

What is MNSSHP?

What is MNSSHP?

MNSSHP is the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. It is a very fun party. I have a pretty good review of it in my TR...and I have an index...I think it says MNSSHP? With pictures and some info.

You will be able to buy tickets to the party (about $55 per adult...$45 ish per child)...but you can get in MK at 4:00 and stay until midnight. So lots of people sleep in and stay late and it can be an extra "Disney" day without buying a full Disney park ticket ($75+). This is good for Wish Trips since you only get 3 Disney days. But not good for all families if you have really young kids that wont take a nap. Although, we saw LOTS of very young kids up very late that night. Awesome parade, fireworks, and candy everywhere and the best character interaction I have ever seen. Dancing with Chip and Dale for an hour. It was awesome!!!!

I will be there Sept 4 - Sept 13, but getting there late on the 4th and leaving early on the 13th. I am still working out the details of the trip, but I would imagine it would include a trip or two to GKTW to meet wish families! I really enjoyed meeting Jason, Mya and Noah when I was there in Feb!

I will look into that lung thing for Lauren!!

MNSSHP sounds great. I will definatly look into it when I get the exact days we are going. I can't wait to find out the days and are able to post them. I would love it if our trips coinsided and you were able to meet my family. I would be funny cause my brother's name is Jason and my daughter is Mia. Not quite the same but close.

Liam's doctors appointment wen great!!!

He has gained about a pound and a half since his last appointment and has grown .4 inches. Yeah!! He won't be wearing size 4T pants for much longer.

His culture came back positive for Staphyloccus aureus and MRSA. He had the first one last time so I have no worries there but with all that has been in the news MRSA has a kind of scary ring to it. My doctor tells me not to be worried so I am taking a breather. He's a great doctor so I will put my trust in him.

and to any one reading this today Happy Easter.

Corinne - that's great news that Liam's doctor cleared him and even better that he had such a positive appointment yesterday!!

September will be a good time, too as far as crowds go since kids will be back in school. The Theme Parks board has been flipping out about crowds over this past week (and I am a little stressed about how much worse they will be this June with the 4/3 promo on). By September, although there will be free dining, I still think you'll have much less trouble navigating around the people.

Starting Liam in grade one for a week or two before leaving will be good too, since he'll be able to get settled first. We missed our orientation day at a new school this past year due to a vacation, but I wasn't as worried since I enrolled them in camp there over the summer so they knew the lay of the land.

Hope you're having a very happy Easter and I look forward to hearing those confirmed dates.

Thanks, I can't wait until I can give them. I must admite it is driving me crazy.

I just read a email from our wish cordinator Iris. She wrote that September 13-19 were open and MaW has put in a request for those dates for Liam's wish trip. It isn't definatle yet, but I am still very excited.

Sorry Maroo, it looks like we just might miss each other by a matter of hours.

I will definatly update here when we get the confirmation.

Maybe we won't miss each other!!! Those are good dates...as you might be able to catch the MNSSHP!! This is a good event, because it adds some extra "Disney" time. It is also just a fun party!

Can't wait to hear that you will have definite dates and hope you have a flight time that might correspond with mine! An airport DISmeet, maybe?

 

[rodeo65]

Great news!! Soon it will be time to get all those fun plans underway. Or officially underway, since I'm sure you have lots of ideas swirling around already!!

 

[Corrine 1973]

That would be great. I hope our times will work out.

 

[Corrine 1973]

So I had this idea.

If our trip gets accepted for September 13-19 we will be in Florida during my father's birthday on Sept. 14. So with the little lightbulb went off. (There wasn't to much smoke) I immediatly called my dad and told him my idea. He is a cross country trucker so if he could get to Orlando for his birthday he can take advantage of the Birthday promo and go to one of the parks with us.

Living in Missouri and being a trucker we don't get to see him much so it will be great if he is able to spend this day with us at Disney. If it works out then we will be definatly spending that first day at Hollywood Studio's. My son definatly wants to go on the Star Tours ride and that is a definate on both my brother's and Father's wish list as well.

I am really hoping it works out.

Oh how cool!!! That would be fantastic to spend some time with him. I hope that works out!

And your light bulb comment cracked me up!

you go girl
we need a list of everyone you have meet with pictures

 

[Corrine 1973]

Thanks for the info on CM george, we will definatly ask for him

Lets not get to ahead of ours selves ladies, the dates are not even confirmed yet. Hopefully I will hear soon. I hope these are the dates so than I will be looking for two big signs at the airport.

 

[Corrine 1973]

Ok, so so for everyone who is about to read this let me appologize in advance.

I emailed my wish granter today to ask if she heard anything new about getting our dates confirmed. She told me that she had just tried to call them and had no new info yet. She reminded me (very sweetly) that it takes 2-3 months and she will let me know if she gets any new info.

I must admite that I am not a patient person. I try to be, but sometimes the attempts at patients falls short. Real short. I feel like I am in a self made limbo and it is driving me crazy.

Sorry about the rant. I feel a little better now.

 

[Corrine 1973]

Just got a call from Iris (actually a message because I slept in this morning) GKTW has approved our dates.

So the only thing left is for MaW to book the plane tickets which Iris says will be in the next two weeks.

So it looks as if we are going SEPT. 13-19. Planning full speed ahead. My first assignment is to book MNSSHP. I just have to choose between the two dates and than book it starting on Friday.
