Make a Wish (and other organizations!) - Wish Trippers...UNITE!! Volume 2!

[maroo]

We are home and very very tired. The kids are wanting to head down the street to Grandma's to go swimming so that is what we are doing today. I will hopefully start on our TR tonight or in the morning. Can't wait to share it with all of you. The kids are in their suits and ready to go.

back!

I can't wait to read your TR!!

Welcome home...wasn't it really hot there...did you enjoy the village as much as us?? we had a great week, can't wait to hear about your week..I started our trip report!

I am enjoying your TR! I love the dolphin pics!!

I am beginning to attempt to finish our TR. It is amazing how quickly time flies once you are back in the real world.

Good news is that Landon did really well in feeding therapy today! He was able to eat a whole Stage 2 jar of food! He is still not allowed to eat at home until we pass a swallow study which won't be for a few months, but today was exciting!

I should be cleaning and getting ready for Landon and Caroline's birthday party on Saturday, but I am off to work on my trip report again.

Great News!!!!!

Recieved a call earlier today from our wish cordinator, we officially have tickets for MNSSHP for Sept. 15th!

I was finally able to tell the kids (didn't want to get their hopes up) and they are so excited. Now lets just hope for good weather.

Cool!!!!

We thought we were going to have rain during ours, so I bought ANOTHER set of tickets... and the original date was just fine. So...even if it says it is going to rain... don't believe it.

And...one of our most magical times was at the Magic Kingdom at night in the rain. Lauren was just talking the other day about how much fun that was "playing in the rain"... so even if it does rain...you might find that you really have fun then, too!

I am excited for you guys.

Now... do you guys do costumes? We don't normally even really celebrate Halloween... but we did do costumes for the party and had a lot of fun with it.

We went for simple and comfortable. I even came up with an outfit where I could wear my crocs.

We have been busy this week. We finally got a call from Andrea's cardiologist Tuesday and he told us her heart surgeon wants to do her surgery this summer. Unfortunately, he is booking out in August sometime. Her surgeon is one of the top surgeons in the world and well worth the wait. So now we wait some more - they need to call to set up the surgery. I was hoping to hear by now, but we continue to wait.

We had put our summer plans on the back burner, until we found out what Andrea need done and when.

It has been hot here in Michigan the last few days and humid. This reminds us of the weather we had in Florida a couple weeks ago. So we have been busy on playdates and swimming to stay cool.

I really hope I can add a day or two to our trip report.

Stay tuned, please.

We are still here, Diane! And we will wait patiently! Family comes first.

I am glad she has a great surgeon. There is nothing better than that, honestly.

So, hang in there... stay cool and we will wait patiently and anxiously for the TR!

The kids will at least be doing costumes (I probable will be finding something fun to wear myself. I never miss an oppertunity to dress up. Why else would I wear velvet, in summer, playing a courtier in Queen Elizabeth's Court at the Ren faire.) Mia of course wants to be a princess. I am keeping my eyes open for the boys. Liam want to be a pirate, but unsure about Aidan. And with 2 1/2 months to go things have a way of changing.

We were a wish family in 2007, when the first Wish Trippers United thread started.
I check in here and there. Has anyone gone back to visit at GKTW after their wish trip?

I have!! I was actually alone (Lauren was not with me) and they still let me eat and hang out for free. They said at the desk that I could come back for the parties or anything. I met some wish families from this thread and had a good time!

I have updated Andrea's Trip Report. I got day 4 done.

All I have to say is thank goodness for friends who work at Disney. I have come to be friends with a woman who works at the local Disney Store. And as it turns out she is also a Disney Travel agent and has offered to help me with my ADR's. You can't believe how much this is helping me since this is completly new to me and I am feeling a bit overwelmed.

We talked a little about idea's and an itenerary.
I just got confirmation on these ADR's

Sci-Fi Dine-In on Monday, Sept. 14th at 1:20.
Chef Mickey's on Wednesday, Sept. 16 at 11:05

I am so excited. I able to give the kids two great Character meals and Mia will be on cloud nine with all of the Princess's. It might be Liam's wish trip, but it's all of our first time at WDW.

Hi! I am new to these boards and really enjoy all the information. It's making me get really excited about our future wish trip! I am still trying to learn my way around the boards and how to post links and things like that. I posted our first pre-trip report late last night. I love reading about your trips and seeing all the precious children.

 

[LindaBabe]

Welcome, Mom2 . .. Maroo will be around later to help you. Not sure you can post links or photos until you have at least 10 posts.
