Just checking in, having a great time. Arrived the 21st, HS/MK o
n the 22nd (breakfast with Lilo and Stitch, Deanna wore her Lilo dress and got to dance with Stitch). Yesterday we went to US as we wanted a smaller park so we could enjoy Christmas at GKTW. Today we decided we needed a recovery day so we have stayed at GKTW we got our pillows, DeAnna did her star, rode the train, drove the boats, played the games in the game room and now getting ready for swimming.

Tomorrow we are going to spend the whole day at MK, then Sea World on Christmas!

To all of you Merry early christmas! I'm not sure if i will be on here until the 26th (and im sure im not the only one )

Also wanted to know if anyone has an idea what happens if a disabled person gets themselves into a ride vehicle but after the ride determines that they are unable to get themselves back out. My dad is insistent that he will be able to get out of PoTC and splash mountain, but he can barely get himself out of the car most days and transfered into his power chair and thats a matter of just standing up and taking 1-3 steps depending on how close we can get his powerchair parked. I don't want to tell him that he can not ride something if he feels he can. I'm so conflicted on what to do. There is no way my mom and I could lift him out of a boat type vehicle. We could probably manage something that was more of an even transfer though. Ideas anyone? :

I would love to wish everyone here a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years. Don't forget to lay out the cookies and milk for Santa and that magic oatmeal and sparkles mix for the raindeer.

Crazy days for us! It's been a real whirlwind. Whew!

Grace is set to have surgery on Feb. 9th. We'll need to be at Stanfors for pre-op and cath beginning February 3rd. That doesn't give us much time, and I really wanted to do this trip before her next open heart surgery... So, we got dates! We will begin our wish trip January 9th, 2012!!

A mixture of sadness and excitement. Bummed I have run out of time to create cute custom Disney clothes and items, but excited, of course, to make such great memories before surgery, and to have memories on film to play during Grace's recovery.

I'm doing research and trying to gain as much insight as possible- 2 weeks comes FAST!! We made character dining reservations at a couple of places. Any other must-do's?

Thanks all!
Merry Christmas!!

You need a visit to the Disney Store ASAP to get some cute shirts and such .. that's what I usually do .. I like to theme the boys clothes to the park we are in .. although I'm sure I won't be getting away with THAT much longer since they are getting older .. but right now they still let me dress them the way I like. :good vibes

Good luck with your planning !! Has MAW mentioned anything special in the works ?? How many days are you going to be there ?

I'm trying to theme them- I love the personalized embroidered look (iron-ons?). Do you think that if I go on Etsy that I could get them in time? Are there any disboards people that sew for the Big Give that I should look at? I'd rather share the wealth with disboards friends!

Trying to get everything we need (rain ponchos, swim suits, tennis shoes... I know I'm forgetting things!!) but also kep it to a dull roar- plane tix and hotels to San Francisco are painfully more than I expected, particularly this quickly. Thankful for amazing friends & family, though, many are trying to donate miles and air vouchers.

Nothing "special" mentioned from MAW. We'll be staying at GKTW (have I mentioned how excited we are about this?!?) Jan. 9th thru 15th, and then we are extending at our timeshare through the 22nd. I've made reservations for ds Bday (he'll be 2!!) at the T Rex experience, we're also doing O'Hana for dinner, Crystal Palace for character bfast, Tusker House for character lunch, and hopefully Chef Mickey's for another character bfast.

DD really wants to meet Rapunzel and Ariel.I don't think there are other opportunities to have lunch or anything with them, so hopefully she'll at least see them in the parks? I've been on the fence about BBB. Is she old enough to really enjoy? She just turned 3... I thought about bringing our own princess dresses, but is that really comfortable to wear around the park?

So many questions, so little time!! Lol!

Thankfully I've got all of this to delay my panic about surgery! . Thinking I'll post this in the MAW file too? That way I can get questions answered.

Counting down!!!

Is anyone going to be at GTKW in February? We are counting down the days!! Dev got a Flip camcorder for Christmas and he can't wait to use it there.

 

[starienite]

We have official dates for your WISH TRIP! THE CHILDREN'S WISH FOUNDATION has granted our daughter Cassie her wish so we are now in the planning stage of getting ready. We will arrive Feb. 3,2012 and stay until Feb. 10th. To say we are excited is the understatement of the century! Does anyone know how to get cute disney clothes before we go? I need all the advice that I can get.

Mom to three: Jessica (24) Stephen (22) and Cassie (wish child) (11)
