Thank you so much for this thread - we have only been reading it for a few days, but we have found it very helpful.
My DD 14, Angel, also wants to wish for a cruise.
She was seemingly healthy, so her diagnosis with Severe Aplastic Anemia in Feb. was quite a shock to us. Later that month, a clinic coordinator told us that she was submitting Angel to MAW. Last week some other clinic families were discussing their wishes, and asked how ours was going. We said we had never been contacted, and just thought it took a really long time. They said we needed to talk to the new coordinator, because it doesn't normally take that long. Turns out Angel was never submitted. We're supposed to be contacted in the next 2 weeks to set up a meeting.
We're looking forward to reading all the details you & Cassondra post.
We've been very blessed to be able to go to wdw several times, but have never been on any cruise, so we have a lot to learn.
