I am totally going to take extra glow sticks and necklaces! That is a great idea and they are only a dollar each. Any little thing I can do on the trip to make it better for someone else while we will be having such a wonderful time. I'll have to see if I can come up anything else to take that is inexpensive.
I hope I don't sound crazy right now and somebody actually knows what I'm talking about, lol.
I think I recall reading through a Wish Trip pre-trip report and seeing an absolutely amazing and beautiful pre-made scrapbook that someone had put together before their wish trip. They pages simply had to have pictures and details filled in at a later date. I believe it was specifically made for their Wish Trip as it may have had pages in it that were GKTW themed. I think it also had places for the Wish Kid to put their thoughts about the trip, etc. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Does anyone know what I'm talking about? If you do, could you provide a link to the thread it's located in? I am hoping to find some inspiration for our "possible" upcoming wish trip for Isabella. We are still waiting to hear if she has been approved or not. In the mean time, I've enjoyed lurking around on the Wish-Trippers thread and living vicariously through those of you who are in the planning stages as well as reading the past trip reports and drooling over new installments of recent ones. I guess I'm kind of stalking all of you . . . .![]()
If you have a Dollar Tree near where you live we got some 4 packs for a dollar and actually found some tubes that had10-12 glowsticks with connectors to make bracelets or necklaces in them for a dollar. We just passed the sticks out 1 at a time so we had more to share. Also Walmart has the little 2 packs for 88 cents. You might want to try e-bay also. I've read on some recent threads thatsome have had good luck on there!!!I am totally going to take extra glow sticks and necklaces! That is a great idea and they are only a dollar each.

My DH is really having a hard time with the Wish and I told him some of the things you wonderful people have pointed out on here. It makes me feel so much better that people won't really know we are cutting.
Great minds think alike! I didn't think about Oriental trading and since I'm fixing to make an order for my SS class I think I'll look for some things to take to Disney with us. With all this talk about glow sticks I didn't even think about us taking any with us this time since we are going with out the kids!! Well DUH! We can still help make a little magic!! Especially for those poor hot kids having to only go in AUGUST!! (I really wish we were goin either earlier or later but can you believe the nerve of the Bride and Groom??? They won't change the wedding for me!!!!You can get glow sticks by the dozen for very little on ebay, and all kinds of little stuff for way less than a dollar on oriental trading. http://www.orientaltrading.com/ well, maybe not enough less to make it worth the bother. necklaces and bracelets seem to be the cheapest. Also check the dollar tree, and the dollar spot at target. I got a light up spinny thing for my husband for a dollar at target - Disney wanted 7$ for the same exact thing.
I will be praying for William...I hope he is ok!
I know exactly what you are talking about. I believe it was Mya's trip...mcntosh's daughter. I am sure he posted on here somewhere on the last couple of pages...you can find a link to his TR on page 1 if you don't know what I am talking about!
It was a Big Give item. And not a Big Give item that I have seen before her trip. I believe it was Tracie that made it. But I am not positive. Check her TR...because I think she posted pictures of it. If you are looking for something to get ideas from, etc.
We don't think you are stalking us!!
You are so funny!!!!!![]()
Thank you!!!!!! After several hours of seraching (ok, I'll admit that those little links to Trip Reports in everyone's signatures sidetracked me for about 95% of the time I "claim" to be searching) I found it! Thank you for your incredible recollection ability Maroo!
FYI for anyone else looking for it, I found the photos on page 17 of Mya's pre-trip report. It was made by Tracie (OMGosh can you say T-A-L-E-N-T-E-D!?!). I have bookmarked it for future reference because I have this terrible habit of taking a bazillion photos at Disney and pretending that I will one day get around to scrapbooking them. Hopefully, after we return from Bella's MAW trip (this is still assuming she actually gets a wish trip and picks WDW) I can use Tracie's ideas as inspiration to get a scrapbook done in a reasonable time. I am still putting the finishing touches on our first Griggs Family Disney Trip Scrapbook and that was over 2 years ago.

Thanks again Maroo! BTW, we are praying for William and for his doctors to find a cause for William's illness.
Just a quick pop in! Glad to hear Becca is up and around (YEA!), need to find update on Noah (??) and sorry to hear about William!![]()
We are doing well. Getting over sickies too. Got to keep my job (for now) sot that is a blessing. Emily is going to be in a commerical !!!!! that will shoot April 5 with a really famous NASCAR driver and Jim and I have been asked to speak at Wish Night in May! EEK!
Once I get done with my big project here at work, I'll be able to update Emy's TR!
Miss ya'll terribly!!
Oh and Marroo.... A family of ours (Fellow wilms!) is going in April. If I get you her dates, can you pull best parks/dates?![]()

Don't know if I will be able to get on here tonight or in the a.m. Tyler is really nervous about tomorrow. I'm very anxious to see if we can get some answers. All these intestinal disorders/problems with so many kids is really scary!!! They believe Tyler possibly has a blockage and I'm praying that they will find the answer tomorrow. His PTSD(Post traumatic Stress Disorder) does seem to be getting better and he is sleeping for more than 4 hours at night now!!!![]()
If you can spare some prayers for him I would really appreciate it. Thanks!!!![]()
