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

[GavandGraciesMommy]

We are also going for my sons make a wish from august 15-21 but I am so worried about the weather, are you? I know it rains everyday in orlando but they are calling for severe thunder storms daily. My heart would break if this trip is a bust. His send off party is this Saturday and I figure I might have until then to see if we could reschedule. It would allay my fears to hear if you are not worried and proceeding as planned. They go through so much and I just couldn't bear the disappointment of sitting in a hotel room the whole time. We do enough sitting around in hospital rooms. Please help, give me confidence! Lisa

My friend lives in Orlando and she says it is typical this time of year for it to storm in the late afternoon and then die off but that is from around 3 to 4. She says it can be unexpected though. So maybe if it does rain it will only be for that short time and dry up quickly

Hi, my name is Nathan. We just found the Disboards. One of my twin three year old girls was diagnosed with ALL about five months ago, and just recently we got a call from a MAW representative. We, my family and I, just want to say hi, and that we have been moved and humbled by your stories here in the forum.

Peace and blessings.

Nathan

Take ponchos and something to cover your stroller if you have one, and don't leave them in your room! Take them with you and plan to carry on. You NEVER know what the weather will be at any given time of the year. I have frozen in May, Fried in December, and been wet in every season. Ya just gotta roll with it.

Okay, I need a little advice from a Disney veteran.

A wish kid I have wants to meet Silvermist. Specifically Silvermist, though the other fairies are on the list as well. She had talked about a Disney Cruise as well, but I'm almost positive the fairies don't make regular appearances on the cruise, is that right? The fairies were by far more important than the cruise, so I want to make sure we're sending her to the right place.

Now, to find fairy and princess dresses for a variety of wishes. Anyone know if they make princess dresses out of materials that are very easy on the skin for size 6-8 ish? It would also help if it was something that could be put on from the front rather than having to be stepped in to.

In my experience, no fairies for meet and greets on cruises. much higher likelihood in Magic Kingdom.

People with kids with sensory issues have had good luck with the soft 'nightgown' type princess dresses, but I think they still go over the head or pull up.

Lindababe is so right, the weather can be iffy no matter WHAT season...be as prepared as you can and just relax/savor...it is going to be the best trip of your life! Also remember, it will NOT be perfect, things WILL happen. Just try to roll with it all and remember this is a wish trip, magic is already happening!

This type of costume is one of my faves! My girls have used them in a variety of sizes/styles through the years and we LOVE them!!! They are soft and silky on the skin. They both have sensory issues and my wish princess has multiple scars on her chest/abdomen and these don't hurt! I have used this seller many times with great success.

Welcome to the boards Nathan. I will be adding your daughter and your family into my prayers. Looking forward to getting to know you a bit more!

Hope everyone is doing well. Just wanted to give a quick update on Gavin. I have had viral bronchitis (that really kicked my butt btw lol) and were in dire fear that Gavin would catch it and land us back in the hospital. However, the good news is we shipped him to his gma and bio dad just in time and he was able to avoid. (That and a lot of bleach and lysol). With his heart issues he also has a very weak upper respitory system and can have trouble keeping his oxygen levels up so even small colds or allergies have been known to resort to ER/ hospital stays. We also celebrated 9 months post op on Wednesday!!! We have only had one case of pnuemonia since the surgery and it did not require hospitalization Looks like the surgery is turning things around for him. Now that school is getting ready to start again I am getting nervous though.... None the less just wanted to share the good news that we survived the week

Our wish grantors arrived tonight, bearing cake and goodies for spencer! They also brought us info on how to print our boarding passes, the expense check, and let us know we will be riding to and from the airport in a limo!!!!

Spencer was on top of the world!!!

search on ebay for the dressses, its something dress up trunk. they are disney clones, very soft and since they sew them I bet they could do it with an open back

The Dis put a stop to photopass shares awhile ago.

I have not heard of the fairies on the cruise. Tink and friends do appear in the park. We have seen Silvermist in the MK. Not sure how regularly she appears anymore. There are several ladies who make cotton Disney dresses on Etsy. You may be able to find help there.

There is an area at Magic Kingdom where they have •Tinker Bell and her Fairy friends from Pixie Hollow. That it probably your best bet. There used to be a group on here called Disboutiquers that make clothes for wish kids (but I am not sure if they are still going). They made some for my kids for our trip

I am part of that group. We don't take requests LOL. We do make clothes for Big Gives-but it is not something you can ask for.
