So we are now down to just under a month before Elsa's wish trip. And it is getting SOOOOOO hard keeping it a secret. The kids know we all will be taking an airplane trip but they do not know when or where. All they know is that it will be sometime before her birthday (JUNE!).
The reason why I am keeping it a secret: our wish foundation is called Montana Hope Project, run by the state highway patrolmen. So the week before we go, we meet up with a few of the patrolman and others from the project, they give us our spending money, tickets, and surprises. I have asked them to be the ones to tell Elsa her wish is coming true. I can't wait for the look on her (and the rest of the kids) face when a patrolmen tells her! Just the fact that we'll be out to lunch/dinner with them is the icing on the cake. I don't know about other families but my kids, they LOVE any policemen/firefighters/paramedics/etc.
So I have to say, coming on here lets me get it out

if the fantasy land expansion is open for cast members or any special group try asking if your wish child could go in to see Belle or Ariel. that is how we got in. But you dont really get to jump the lines in there since everyone is a special group....

the new belle experience is really fun!

Who all is in there besides Belle and Ariel? I am so unfamiliar with all the characters. I need to learn them! Speaking of which, is there a list of characters online somewhere that will name who all are in the parks there?

Thank you!

I think i finally learned how to add a picture. This is my little princess Kyra

She is adorable!!

Ok.. Here is the correct photo for the announcement. The one I uploaded before was one of the ones "in the works", and I couldn't get photobucket to work right last night, but was successful this morning.

Thank you all for your kind comments that you made on the previous one.

I LOVE it!!

I haven't used it, but this site gets a lot of recommendations - http://kennythepirate.com/disney-world-character-schedules/

Character "hunting" was always a big part of our trips.

My daughter went on her Make A Wish trip in April to Hawaii - we had a wonderful time. We will be in Disney World Nov 9th - 17th. As a wish child/family, my 15 year old daughter wants to give back & help other kids have a wonderful wish trip. If we can help a wish child or family while we are there, just let me know. This will be our 6th trip to Disney World - it truly is a great place for kids with special medical needs.

That's so wonderful that your daughter wants to give back! We will be at Disney Nov 10-18th too!!!

MAW called today to confirm that Angel qualifies for a Wish. Said that her wish granters should contact us in a couple of weeks to set up a meeting date.

Hello everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself. I am Jen and my daughter, Victoria, was just granted a wish trip! I am overwhelmed with all the information on here and not sure I will be able to figure out how to even jump in but I did want to thank everyone for all the participation here that gives us newbies so much good information. My personal goal is to not become addicted to this site!

 

[angel's momma]

She is really excited. She's old enough to plan & research herself, and did a lot of that all summer - so she actually knows more about DCL than I do at this point.

Jen So happy that Victoria gets her wish. It's a big forum, filled with info, but there are so many wonderful people who can help you navigate through it. Good luck with that goal - I found myself visiting certain sections daily, even when we didn't have trips planned.

Wow - I've missed a lot! But I'm back now. And THRILLED to report that Matthew does NOT have leukemia like his transplant docs had previously thought. We are working with getting him better and his counts up. His energy is returning a little more every day, and I am grateful to have him up and running again.
Just wanted to extend a warm welcome to all the newbies out there! Let's go those PTR reports started up so we can do some reading! Congrats on all those that have met their wish granters recently. It's a great feeling. And I'm so excited to get back on the board and get back in the swing of things again. It will take me a few days to catch up on all the reports, but I will. I promise! I look forward to the evenings of looking at pictures, reading plans and just being excited for all.
tootles for now!

 

[angel's momma]

So happy that Matthew doesn't have leukemia. Off to read your PTR

Yay for Victoria! I bet she is excited. Any idea what her wish will be? And this site is really easy to become addicted to. I've been reading posts for about a year but since our wish trip is coming up soon I'm on here almost daily now.
