Got some great news... our son's "Wisher's" are coming this Sunday evening! We are so excited to meet them. They are a newly married couple, and the wife has been volunteering with MAW for several years, but this will be her husbands first wish-granting experience.
She was so nice on the phone, and said she lives only a few minutes away from us. She asked about what Braden's wish might be, and I mentioned that we were 99% sure he was wishing for Disney. I also briefly mentioned that if he did wish for that we were hoping to go in mid-October during his fall break, so as to avoid him missing any school. She said she wasn't sure how quickly things would happen. Then, after finishing up our call, she called me back a few minutes later and said she spoke to someone at MAW about our possible date request, and was told it was a perfect time now to request October dates, as they have are currently scheduling September dates!
In keeping with some of the recent above posts, we have been talking with Braden about his wish. He has asked lots of questions about Disney, and one of the things we told him about was MNSSHP. When we were talking about that, he asked if he could go trick or treating at Disney with Jake the pirate! We told him if that's what he wanted to do, that he could wish for that, and we'll see what happens! He put it together in his head, and came up with it on his own after talking about all the things he can do... so I think some kids will come up with that extra bit of wish-specificity (new word?) on their own!
Now, only a few more days of Braden asking "Are my wisher's coming today??? "
