I have been working on a packing list for us. Anyone know of any good spots to find a check list that we can get some ideas from?

My daughter went on her Make A Wish trip in April to Hawaii - we had a wonderful time. We will be in Disney World Nov 9th - 17th. As a wish child/family, my 15 year old daughter wants to give back & help other kids have a wonderful wish trip. If we can help a wish child or family while we are there, just let me know. This will be our 6th trip to Disney World - it truly is a great place for kids with special medical needs.

thanks KaylaM, what days are yous at GKTW?

 

[livndisney]

the website said its open

New Fantasyland is not open yet. They are currently having annual pass and D23 previews. It was also open during some nights of the Halloween party. I think the "official" open date is December.

You invitation is so cool, how did you do it? I love the Sponge Bob, my boys are both huge fans! Great job

You invitation is so cool, how did you do it? I love the Sponge Bob, my boys are both huge fans! Great job

I first took the photo of my daughter in a lounge chair with white sheet behind her over chair. Then I extracted her out of the photo and put her on a white blank page in photoshop. I added the mickey mouse gang to the page, added the purple clouds, then I cloned in the upper mickey mouse and red background (it was one photo). Then I added the hearts and texts. It took a few days as I have only done a few over the years, but I always have to find tutorials on how to do it.

Thank you!!!

DelanaAndKyra - Princess Kyra is adorable.

NDMOM - Glad your family had a wonderful time on her Make A Wish trip to Hawaii. It's fantastic that your daughter wants to give back & help other kids - I hope you have the opportunity to do so.

KaylaM - Great job on the invitation, and your daughter's costume is cute

The announcements look amazing! I have photoshop myself but probably couldn't ever figure that out lol.

Kyra is adorable! I can't wait to hear all about your trip! GKTW looks amazing. We will be on a disney cruise in Jan for my son's wish. So a few places I keep my eye on besides the disboards are allears.net and the mom's panel on the disney world site. Both will give you a ton of info on trips to Disney like packing info, food in the parks, updates on the expansion etc. I hope this helps!

 

[KaylaM]

Ok.. Here is the correct photo for the announcement. The one I uploaded before was one of the ones "in the works", and I couldn't get photobucket to work right last night, but was successful this morning.

Thank you all for your kind comments that you made on the previous one.

I've just started working on our pre trip report for our Make a Wish disney cruise in Jan. It took me a while but I finally made it through my son's story...pics to come soon!

Can't wait to read it!!

We are sooooooo excited! We found out today we wont be travelling in May, they bumped Kyras wish and we are now leaving about 3 weeks!

Beyond exciting - so happy for you!

Hello all! I am new to these boards and have got to say the amount of resources you have available is above and beyond amazing. Being someone who is OBSESSED with planning ahead I appreciate all of the hard work you all have put into this. <3
My daughter, Aly, is 3 years old and has a severe congenital heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Our sweet girl has had 4 open heart surgeries but is doing great! We just recently got the letter that her wish to go to Disney World has been granted by Make A Wish! (I was really sweatin' her back up wish- a toy shopping spree at the dollar store- lol). We are still waiting on a date but I am so excited and wanted to get a jumpstart on planning. I will probably be spending every spare moment this weekend reading about all these others trips! Thank you all so much for sharing your stories!
Anyways, I don't have any questions yet but I just wanted to introduce myself. I look forward to getting to know you all!

Welcome, I'm a heart mom too. My daughter's chd belongs in the HLHS family as well. After all you've been through, it's nice to have dates in the future to think about....that have nothing to do with scary stuff, and all to do with exciting and happy stuff

Our trip is so close!! Woohoo!!!

I was wondering if anyone had any advise, I realize the new fantasyland isn't open yet but I see so much of people going in. Do you think they will let MAW families in to see it? Just wondering????

Ooooh - so exciting reading how so many trips are getting close!

Love your idea, and love the invites. She's so sweet!

We're now down to Day 40 on our countdown...or perhaps 39, if we leave a day early due to flight issues, but I haven't told Chatterbox otherwise yet. I'll post pictures momentarily in our PTR showing the girls with their wish link gifts. Chatterbox is so excited.

 

[KaylaM]

Thank you!!

 

[DelanaAndKyra]
