Hooray! I am so glad Lindsay likes the bag! I hope it fits your wheelchair and gets lots of use. That huge pocket on the back is perfect for park maps.

Have a magical trip... Thanks for all of the pictures and letting us come on this journey with you!

I posted this on the MAW thread but also wanted to post it on her PTR to see what ya'll thought...
Ok guys I need to know what you would do:
When Lindsay met with her MAW Coordinators back in May (?) she asked for specific dates because of dh work schedule. He is in a mfg plant environ and has no vacation so we can ONLY be gone when his plant is shut down for the holidays. Linds asked for 12/24-12/31 when she made her wish to go to Disney. I called her MAW coordinator around Linds's 16 bday in August and asked for any updates so I could announce it at her surprise 16th bday party. She told me that Linds' wish had been granted and she would get to stay at the GF. I heard from her again around Labor day asking about the behind the scenes tour that Linds wished to do on her trip...and I have not heard from her since. I have sent emails a couple times and was told it was in Disney's hands and then it was in the corp ofc in Charlotte's hands. Last week we got a brochure from GKTW stating that our arrival date is 12/22. We physically can not be there then (I REALL don't mean to sound ungrateful but my dh has only had this job for 7 months after a 2 year layoff so he HAS to work) and her trip ends 12/28. I called GKTW is how I know the end date. I have emailed and called her MAW coordinator 2-3 times with no return calls or emails and I even called and left a msg with the Wish Coordinator of Central and Western NC on Friday and didn't hear anything from them either. ANY SUGGESTIONS??? I am starting to get concerned and HATE for Linds to miss days of her trip because I couldn't get her dates worked out. Kind of needed to vent...what would ya'll do?

I posted on the wish thread to.....just keep calling and emailing, do you have a direct # to the office try that, or if you are close drive up....if you have the same group as Judy (blessedmom4) she had issues with them getting back to her too....good luck and hope you get some answers soon!

I just heard from a WONDERFUL MAW mgr. She is changing our dates and rebooking everything...she was WONDERFUL! I feel so much better! Sometimes when not so great things happen in your life, some things seem too good to be true (& you wait for the other shoe to fall so to speak)...and thank goodness this is not one of them and things really seem to be working out! Thank you Lord!!! I am now getting soooooo excited!!! (and so is Linds!) Fri night is pizza and planning party. I will post pics Fri nt so all can see our fun Disney planning night! Thanks for letting me vent

 

[babynala]

Great news. Can't wait to hear about the planning party!

 

[billwendy]

YAY!!!!! Did they say what had happened? Any other plans they have made for you? What a relief!!!!!!!

Great news! sure you feel so much better getting it all straighten out! have fun with the planning party!!

 

[wbh1964]

Wish mgr throught our wish coordinator had confirmed these dates back in July???...so I think it was just some miscommunication...but it all worked out ok...yay!!!!! I don't think the behind the scenes tour is going to happen just based on what she said...and if it does then it will be just a little added pixie dust NOW WE ARE ALL GETTING SO EXCITED!!!! Will keep ya'll posted

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I'm so glad to hear that the trip is confirmed and everything (for the most part) is on track!! Enjoy pizza night and family planning... I'll be at a basektball game for my DS15 but I'll be thinking of you and your family!!

Hi,

I'm new to your trip report and I have thoroughly enjoyed reading it! The pictures are wonderful! I hope you will have a completely magical trip!

I remember when the Grand Floridian was being built, I said that I would stay there someday. (My parents laughed at me. ) I haven't made it yet, but there is still someday! That is wonderful that you all will have that opportunity!

Looking forward to reading more!
Regards,
C.

I will try again 2nt and see what happens but this is the first time after several attempts that I can even just post this note....stay tuned....

Oh boy! am I late to the party. I just got the chance to sit down and catch up on your trip report. Your Lindsay is such a precious young lady! I love seeing all the pictures and her excitement!! I can't wait to see all the pics she's going to take and you'll have to show us pics when she finishes her scrapbooks too.

The day to leave will be here before you know it! Praying for Lindsay and that she gains some extra strength for her trip.
