Make a Wish (and other organizations) ~ Wish Trippers UNITE! Volume FIVE!!

I know a handfull of you make personalised Disney shirts... I've thought about making some, or beg/plead/bargain a good friend to do them. haha.

My question is if buy a mickey patch to sew on a shirt. Do I need to worry about copy rights with Disney?? Someone told me I needed to be careful she knew someone who got in a lot of trouble for doing it. I dont want to break rules. Just dont want to pay 30$ per shirt. eeek

My kids wore hand made character shirts. One CM just gushed about it because my dd matched Minnie, and my dd and Minnie compared outfits.

Hi! I don't check in here nearly often enough but the site was so much help to us before Sydney's wish trip that I try when I'm able. You have a wonderful plan. I do have some points though that may help. I'm going to add them below. Sydney's trip was in Aug 2010 tho so some things may have changed... but maybe not so its worth a shot.

I have my Itinerary some what done. I need some input:

April 29- Arrive in Orlando around 2pm
Hang around the village, orientation, and possible Downtown Disney.
( Candy Land Game)

April 30- Islands of Adventure (arrive around 930 am) If you can, I'd try to arrive earlier. We arrived about 1/2 hour before rope drop and when we asked, they let us in early. Those staying onsite at Universal hotels are allowed in an hour early so they can go directly to Potter. Lower crowds that way. They let us in, we walked past Seuss Landing and directly to Potter. We stayed for about 2 hours, walked through the castle, did the Hippogriff ride, our older son did the big ride and we wandered the shops. We asked at the exit to the owl post if we could enter (we showed the GAC card for Universal indicating it was a wish trip) and they let us enter... they may not, they're not supposed to let people in but really, Universal was phenominal with wish kids. even moreso than Disney. Its worth a shot to ask. The Potter area can get incredibly busy. Even though you'll be able to shortcut the rides, the area is packed. The earlier you are there, the better as far as crowds are concerned.
Breakfast at the Village 8 am
Seuss Landing I'd do this after WWoHP
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter(around noon for lunch Three Broom
Sticks)
Marvel Super Hero Island (Matthew has to meet Superman it a must) We didn't see Superman. I really don't think he's there. Our first day we saw Spiderman and Wolverine. Then our second day, the cast mermber for Spiderman saw us in the street with the lanyard and asked if we wanted to meet them all. They were all due to leave their spots at the same time. We went down a back alley and they all came to us for a private meet and greet. Great pics with all the superheros... but no superman. Just didn't want your' little guy to get too disappointed.
I have no clue what else because Matthew is 38 1/2 inches and they
have a lot of height requirements. Maybe 4 big rides for me and
my hubby. Suggestions He shoudl be able to do the kids ride at HP. Sydney loved Seussland. My little guy was 39in at the time. He had a blast there but didn't really ride the rides. He enjoyed the museum area in the Jurassic Park. He loved Seussland. My two younger kids LOVED the frozen butterbeer in HP... it was actually the only reason we went back a second day... Sydney really wanted more butterbeer Oh, we I should say, we spent from 830ish til 3pm at Islands of Adventure and then went to the Universal side. There we did the Barney show, the ET ride, Shrek movie and Jimmy Neutron ride. My oldest did a few other rides but Sydney and her brother were too short for many ... they just had fun meeting other characters like Scooby Doo, Diego, etc.
Dinner at the Village

May 1- Magic Kingdom (9am) (not in order)
Quick breakfast from the food cart at the Village
Dumbo is Matthews number one ride.
Buzz lightyear's space ranger (Meet Buzz and Woody) The best place to meet them both at the same time is at HS. They're together for meet and greets there. In MK Buzz is on his own and Woody is with Jessie in Frontierland
Ride the Train around the park
Lunch around 11 counter service (Suggetions)We like Columbia Harbour House in Liberty Square best. Pecos Bills is great for burgers in Frontierland too
Matthew has appointment with Pirates league and Emmy with BBB
Go with the flow after those have been acheived
I wanted to get on Big Thunder but its going to be down when we are
their. Other then that haunted Mansion and splash mountain. Goofy's Barnstormer should be opened then. Its a great little coaster... I think height is either 36 or 38 so he should make it. Splash is 40in height limit. He'll love all rides in Fantasyland except maybe Snow White which is a little scary.
Meet a few princesses, a parade, and fire works
Dinner at Crystal Palace at 7pm That's a really late dinner. They may be late seating so you wont' get seated til maybe 730, out by 830... that's cutting it really close for the parade. Can you get an earlier dinner??

May 2- Animal Kingdom (early as can be) and Hollywood Studios (4 pm)
Quick breakfast again or make an early breakfast
Do as much as possible before 4 pm at the Animal Kingdom You can do almost everything there before then. We usually leave right after the parade, or before if we don't want to see the parade. At Lion King, ask if there is special seating. They sat us in a location wehre the performers asked Sydney to be a part of the show... it was nice... she didn't want to but her brothers had the opportunity as well and jumped at it
Having lunch at Rainforest Cafe at 12pm
Go to Hollywood Studios at 4 pm
Like 10 attractions we like to see That's a lot to see there... and its hard because the shows are very time dependant ... you might not get it done if you wait until 4pm to go there...
Dinner at 50s Prime Time Cafe at 630pm

May 3- Not sure if going to Universal Studios or pay another day at Magic
Kingdom. It all depends if we seen everything we wanted the first
time. May be water park. Suggestions The cost of one day at MK, depending on the size of your family, could be really high. While I think its great to have two days there, its definitely at a significant cost. We added several days to Sydney's trip so we could spend more time in the Disney parks. If you can do that, I'd say do it over a second universal day... just based on the age of your kiddos. Its really hard to see all of MK in one day and its by far the best for little ones.
(Winter Wonderland Festival)

May 4- Epcot (Not in no rush 930-10)
Have breakfast at village
All of Nemo Not a lot there really. There's the Nemo ride, Crush show and the aquarium. It won't take that long.
Check out some of the world showcase Lots of fun. Many princesses there that dd may like to visit. Good snacks there too. My kids really like the Serveur Amusant in France (basicallly an acrobatic chair juggling type show... although that's a terrible explanation
Lunch some where in between We like Morocco (chicken there for the kids), fish in England is also good
Dinner at Le Cellier at 630pm
Suggestions for what the children like at Epcot (toddlers) Its actually my kids fav park next to MK. They can do the Kidcot stops which lets them get a 'charm' made of paper to add to a mask... they can colour at each stop... in each of the countries. My kids like the Journey into your imagination, the jumping fountains near the Journey into your imagination, they like Living with the Land, the ride in Mexico, the ride in Norway

May 5- Sea World (before departing home)
I don't know if our flight is early if it isn't possibly check out the aquarium.
Matthew and Emmy have been to two different aquarium so i don't know if they would be interested in another. They do nice things for wish kids here. We spent 1/2 day here and then went to Universal for another 1/2 day. At Seaworld, let them know at the entrance/food areas of the feeding stations that its a wish trip. They provide free food and trays for feeding the dolphins, sea otters, and rays. They also let you in a little early to feed the dolphins so you get a chance before everyone else arrives. We didn't do much else there besides the dolphin show. Part of Sydney's wish was to see the dolphins so we focused on that aspect of Seaworld and then went to Universal so she could get another butterbeer


Thats it! I am going to try making it to some of the events at the Village but i am not making any promises. Please any suggestion would appreciated.

HTH. Any questions, ask away. That goes for anyone else too. I loved being part of this board and lurk often but just don't post much.

ETA: Ok, just had a look at a crowd calendar for that timeframe. Now, take from this what you wish ok. You'll have a pass that will make your lives very easy while you're there plus you're going during a very calm time of year where crowds are low. That said, for me, I try to get in the park with the least crowds just because it makes it much more pleasant moving around and seeing shops and that kind of thing. On your AK day, its EMH (extra magic hours) for those staying on disney resorts. That means that they get in an hour earlier. It makes for an incredibly crowded park on that day. The same is try for your Epcot day. The only thing is, its EMH in the evening which means that it'll be fine til about 2pm when all the disney resort people will start flowing in en masse. The shops in WS will start to get incredibly crowded and if you plan to stay for fireworks (which by the way we don't usually do... the ones in MK are well worth the late night, Epcot's ... not so much), that will be crazy busy and very hard to get out of at the end of the night. Anyway, I know you have dining booked so it may not work to move things around but.... if I was starting from scratch, I'd still do Universal on Apr 30 if you want, then on May 1 do MK, May 2 do Epcot, May 3 do AK and May 4 do your return to US or another MK day... whatever you decide to do. You also will have done all the parks at that point and if you may have a better idea as to what you'd like to do... you could even do Seaworld 1/2 day and then Universal 1/2 day like we did! Like I said, don't stress about it because you'll have a wonderful trip either way ... but if things could change... it may be an idea.

Oh, while you're there, Epcot has the flower and garden festival... I've heard the butterfly house is nice... you're little ones may like that (we're heading down again later in May and that's one thing we're going to have a look at)

 

[threelittlebakers]

Thank you so much for the great tips. I do have a few questions. When you stayed down there did you eat at the Gingerbread house for breakfast. Is there a long wait or would it be better pick up a box of cereal and some milk at a local store, then head out the door to get to the parks early. The Gingerbread house open at like 745 am and if their are a lot of people eating there is no way we would make it before rope drop. I don't know if im going to be able to get everyone up so early. Im the one who has to push people to get things done.
You are right about superman. I meant to say spiderman. I was thinking about split the two universal studio park in one day but i wasn't sure its doable. I just know my husband going to want to ride the big thrill rides and that will take sometime.
I don't understand that the height requirement for splash mountain so high, even the one at universal studios. I went to dutch wonderland 2 summers ago when matthew was 3 and he got on there flume ride and its steep. Oh well im just going to feel bad when his sister gets on and he can't. Did you have any of those issues.
Would leaving AK at like 2 would be good and then hollywood studios. Is the time traveling between the two parks will be time consuming.
I like the info about Epcot that all sound cool to me.
im still debating about the extra day at MK or TL. I know we are eating out a lot and its going to take a huge chunk out of the spending money maw is giving us. Plus i want to be able to purchase a couple of souvenirs for us, family, and i want to get a gift for all the doctors who help matthew out. If i don't do the extra day then sea world/universal studios sounds good. It just so many option and you don't have enough time to do it all. I was thinking about canceling some of the reservations so we would have more time to see more, but then i realize we need sit and take a breather for a little bit. I just want matthew's trip to be perfect. Im also getting anxious about this big adventure.

 

[nesser1981]

No wait at the Gingerbread House, we ate there 3 mornings during our trip. We also did 3 character breakfasts.

It doesn't take long to travel between the Disney Parks or Universal Parks. The Universal parks are right next to each other, you can walk to one from the other.

It takes about 45 minutes from GKTW to get to the parks and then parking & walking up to the gates probably take about 10-15 minutes. So allowing an hour to get there is a good idea.

Since we had character breakfasts, we were in each Disney park prior to rope drop. Except Epcot, we got there in the afternoon.

I can't help with breakfast at the gingerbread house but I'm sure others here may have an idea as to timing. Part of Sydney's wish was to stay with teh princesses so while our main contact and organizer was at GKTW, we stayed offsite at the Grand Floridian. We ate at the gingerbread house the night of the Christmas party but never for breakfast.

My husband and my oldest son did all the thrill rides they could. Sydney was tall enough for some but it wasn't her thing. She did do splash and the flume ride at Universal. My little guy was pretty upset about splash as he really wanted to ride it but we just shy of 40in and theywouldn't let him on. He handled it ok after that. We just found somethign else to do during that timeframe so that he didn't really miss anything. For ex, if DS and DH were riding BTMR and Splash, I kept the younger ones at Fantasyland and rode a few extra rides there ... then we met up about 45min later.

If you're ok with missing hte parade at AK, you can definitely leave at 2pm or even earlier for HS. If you're driving the travel time between the two is minimal. REmember though, while there are no EMH at HS, its not highly recommended park because it may be crowded because Fantasia is showing that night/ Crowds will start to enter the park as the day goes on. That said, with the GAC you shouldn't have a problem doing and seeing what you'd like. .... You said earlier I think that you wanted to see 10 things or more there... what did you want to see and do? I might be able to give you an idea as to whether that's realistic in your timefram....

Only you can decide about the extra MK day. Run the numbers and see if it makes sense for you.

One thing you said though.. you want to make it perfect... don't try to hard for this. I was the same. I wanted it to be perfect. Plan away but remember once you get there to relax and let the magic happen. It really will. We've been before but nothing will ever match Sydney's wish trip. Little things like Ariel seeing her from down the path and walking back to her and holding her hand as they went to the meet and greet, the princesses seeing Sydney at the parade route in the afternoon and blowing kisses directly at her because they saw her earlier, the look on Sydney's face when we returned to Universal for another butterbeer... just because she wanted one, the look on her face as she was feeding the dolphins, etc. None of those things can be planned and they bring me to tears whenever I think of it. Take one day at a time when you're there, stop and smell the flowers, go where your heart takes you and enjoy your trip.

I am really getting excited and keep changing my timeline!!! These are some of the Tips I have gotten so far:
1. buy ponchos ahead time - done Walmart for 88cents
2. Liplock baggies to keep valuables dry in parks - done
3. Sign up for the Cesna ride at GKTW - planning on it daddy and Emily :O)
4. share the wish pin a few time for siblings busy rides - so we can have more family time :O)
5. buy lanyards, discount pins(I got some for $1.99 at disney outlet) for trading
6. Instead of autograph books I am buying a large photo mat and having the characters at gktw sign it (like at a wedding) and using it to frame a pic in when we get home( I came up with this on my own, i hope it works) pillowcase was a 2nd fav.
7. Crocs for the entire family and alt with sneakers
8. relax, a walmart is close by if i forget to pack something!!! I will be buying diapers,snacks, sun screen, spritzing fan, tolietries there
9. jogging strollers instead of a wheelchair, they recline and have a canopy
10. I plan on using the MAW rooms in the MK and Epcot
11. must dos, Winterwonderland and candyland at GKTW
12. bring gum, they do not sell it in disney
13. my daughter has mito and heat intolerance so i am working on a realistic timeline, I am having trouble narrowing it all down!! Due to severe food allergies and dumping sypthoms we will eat all meals at the villa and do the BBB. Sea world is a must and part of our wish was to do the Dolphins.
Are there any other pixie dust or tips I should know about????
thank you!!!!!!!!

Hi! As another Wish trip veteran, I do have one suggestion: plan for more "downtime" at GKTW. GKTW is such an extraordinarily magical place. So magical, in fact, that when we return to WDW in less than a month my children unanimously decided they would rather spend a day at GKTW than at Disney, so we are going to visit GKTW when we go down!

Especially if you have a child who is too short for some of the rides, I would consider this. There is just so much to do at the Village. I don't stop in this forum that much anymore (sorry!), so someone may have waxed philosophic about this recently, but between the wonderful pool and water features, the incredible playground, the miniature golf, ice cream shop open all day, carousel, etc (you get the drift), your family could be blissfully happy (and relaxed and rested) if you spent at least half a day just there.

Just my two cents.

Hi! The idea you have is totally right -- your other children can also ride rides with the benefit of this being the wish trip, but I just wanted to comment on this one tip. When my daughter went on her wish trip two years ago I do recall it was impressed upon us that no one else should wear the wish button -- that it was for her and her alone. If this has changed, then go with the newer information. But this was the way it was when we went down.

Your other children should have no problem using the GAC that is "green stamped" to provide the best access possible to all rides. That's all they need (that's what the CMs told us) -- there is no reason for them to have to share the button. So it really shouldn't be a problem.

Have fun!

 

[ALLMama]

Hi Everyone! We got back from Jacob's MAW trip on 3/4 and had a blast! We extended our trip by 4 days (thanks Ann for that tip - I think it was you ) and ended up doing 8 different parks in 11 days + DTD. By the 11th day though we were all pretty much done and ready to come home. I'd be happy to answer any questions about our trip.

Just my two cents.

I agree! We were there earlier this month and spent about 3 half days at GTKW. Unfortunately for us the playground was closed the entire time we were there. My kids loved everything there though and we had a really really good time just hanging out in the village.

About the parties:
Sunday - Candyland Party - not what we were expecting. The playground was not open so it was in Julie's Theater. DS had a really hard time with it b/c it was more like a candy trivia game and he doesn't eat a lot of candy so he didn't get it. He (and we) thought it was going to be like a life size Candyland game and it wasn't at least in the Theater. He did like the characters though.
Monday - Halloween - lots and lots of fun!
Tuesday - Pool Party - Our favorite besides Christmas! The kids had a great time and overall just fun!
Wednesday - Village Idol - Didn't do we checked out that day
Thursday - Christmas - DO NOT MISS! It was so so much fun and our best night there
Friday - Pirates & Princess - Didn't do we were at IOA and DS didn't want to leave
Saturday - Mayor Clayton's B-Day - Fun, kids were really really tired and it was cold so we didn't do much.

One thing we didn't end up doing and probably wish we did was have Mayor Clayton tuck the kids in. We were so busy all week that I forgot to call until it was too late. Another tip is to plan for traffic when coming back for parties after being at the parks. Twice we almost missed or did miss 1/2 of the party b/c of accidents or just traffic. Also, If you leave later (can't remember the exact time) for the parks you can get lunches to go at Katie's Kitchen to take with you and save on $$$.

Oh... One really big tip! We had a hard time going to Gingerbread House. DS did great but DD is 2 and she had a very hard time understanding that she couldn't play with the dolls or stuffies that line the ceiling. There was a Dora in particular that she really really wanted (even though she has one of her own) that just caused her a meltdown nearly everytime we went. I'm just saying this because little ones may have a hard time with this.

Oh and one more... the cinnamon rolls for breakfast in the Ice Cream Palace are really really good!

This was our experience as well. DS9 and DH took the GAC and used that to ride teh bigger rides. There was no problem with Sydney riding the others without a wait, we just showed her pin. But only she wore her pin. We shared the GAC. The GAC is also what you'll need to show to 'shorten' the line for character meet and greets. I know many say that the GAC is only for rides but that wasn't our expereicne both at Disney and at Universal.

Are there any other pixie dust or tips I should know about????
thank you!!!!!!!!

Part of Sydney's wish was also to visit the dolphins. The earlier you get to Seaworld the better because the dolphins aren't as hungry or active as teh day goes on from what I hear. Also, let the cast member know when you arrive that you're with a wish child. We were brought to a different entrance area, provided food free of charge for everyone in the family, and given a few minutes on our own feeding the dolphins before others were let in. It was wonderful!

 

[starienite]

You'll also get free food for the seals, rays, and, sharks. Just show the employees that hand out the food your button.

Also, if you go to IOA make sure you find a CM in the Super Hero area that is a handler for the heros. Seriously one of the best parts for Jacob on the whole trip was the private meet and greet with all the heros. They spent quite a bit of time with him and he was just in awe.
