This sounds super shallow-please dont take it that way. Molly's 13 year old sister is coming on the trip. Can anyone tell me if teen siblings get gifts from give kids the world and if so what? Molly really has a hard time with her sister NOT getting somethig and she even asked her wish granters to help her do something special for her sister on the trip. If gktw does not give teens gifts I will probably collect some things to leave as gifts for her sister.

thanks for any help you can give me

Yes, her sister will receive gifts. Both will be able to make a pillow, get a gift from Santa at the Winter Wonderland party, and the gift givers will leave gifts for both children.

Not shallow at all .. it's good to be prepared !

This sort of made me laugh remembering the Christmas party and the ladies at the toy cart were trying to get Jeremy to choose a gift and when he said "no thank you" they said "it's ok .. all kids get a gift" and then he says "but I'm 20 years old !!" and they were like "Ohhhhh !!" and we all laughed.

are there gifts a 13 year old girl would want?

They have games appropriate for her age. I think it was Bop It and Catch Phrase ? Or something similar.

I'm so excited! We had our intial interview with MAW in Bakersfield,CA. Talia was on her best reponsive behavior and the lady agreed that DW and GKTW was a good choice for us! Yay! So signed a few papers and just waiting on approval and dates. We can't wait, I was hoping we could get out of CA. I was going to take pics of Talia at the MAW office, but her little office was packed with fundraiser stuff and I know I don't like my stuff posted when it's a mess, so I'll have to wait for wish related pictures, but here's a picture of Talia anyway.

We talked to our volunteer wish grantors last night, and they are planning Gabby's wish presentation party for July 7 or 8.

I won't get any details until then.

The countdown is getting FOR REAL, though, the girls announce the number of days left every.single.day., multiple times. I think my husband is losing his mind with the 4 of us giggling over numbers every day.

I know we can get a free single stroler rental for are wish kid . Is there ay way to upgrade to a dubble as his brother is 4 and needs to sit alot as well ?

You can pick whether you want a single or double stroller!

We just got a call from the wish grantors. They are coming out Saturday morning for Trevor to make his wish! As of right now he wants to do Jedi training during Star Wars weekend. We will see if that is what he still wants to do when the wish grantors come. He has changed his mind a few times

[taliasmom]

Congrats! I just looked up Discovery Cove, hadn't heard of it, what an awesome trip you guys will have! Talia hates baths and pools, so that probably would be a bad day for her, but I'm envious!

I am not always able to comment here; however, I wanted to say WELCOME to all of the new posters...please keep posting, while often this thread is much slower than it has been in the past, someone USUALLY comes along to answer eventually and EVERYONE is welcome, even if we forget to say it!

CONGRATS!! We took our trip this past October and it was FABULOUS! I have to say, Discovery Cove was one of our absolute FAVORITE days, such a blessing and privilege to be able to go!

Hi and

Make sure you tell your Wish Granters what type of supplies/equipment you need and if they don't have it at GKTW they should be able to arrange to have it delivered from a local DME company.
