It's official!! We have dates After 8 months of waiting we finally have dates for Star Wars Weekend! We will be going June 2-8. Flying in the night of the 1st on a red eye flight. We are SO excited

We are not telling the kids the dates we go until there going away party a couple weeks before. Since they already know we are going we thought this would be a nice surprise for them. That way they only have to wait a couple weeks Then today my SIL called and said they were coming out from Montana in May so we are going to arrange the party around their arrival. That too will be a surprise to the kids!

I'm so excited to begin planning for real!!

Krystle, we're looking at renting from Orlandostrollers. They can deliver and pick up the stroller from GKTW, and that way we have it for getting through parking lots and such. We also avoid the hassle of getting a new stroller and tag each day at the park.
Also, that's cool about your MIL's Dr! It's nice to know who's supporting you!

Question: Does anyone know if the GAC is valid for the entire week, or do we need to get a new one each day?

Ja is having a good week at school, even though it's almost cold enough for it to be closed (It was -32F with the wind chill today!). Kind of sad because she gets chemo the next 2 Mondays, and it's a type that really throws her for a loop for a few weeks after. She's also on steroids all that week, and 'roid Ja is not much fun at all. We usually end the week with some kind of public meltdown, often involving rolling around on the ground in a parking lot

You will get your GAC at Give Kids The World & it is good for the full length of your stay & you will also recieve one for Universal Studio's.

Oh man, I look like a punk! I'm participating in our city's "Hair Massacure" this year - a fundraising event that supports our children hospital's oncology unit, MAW, and Ronald McDonald House. I'll be shaving my head on Feb 15! Well, it's a good thing I'm going bald because my hair is completely bright pink I went in for some "pinking" which is part of the awareness campaign of the event - I told the stylist that I didn't think I wanted to be completely pink, I'd rather have some streaks. Well, something didn't get through, because he bleached only strands - but then did the pink all over, thinking that it wouldn't show with my brown hair. He was wrong!
Oh well, it's only 2 weeks and it's for a good cause, but I certainly got some looks at preschool I'll definitely be raising awareness!

Jo - What a wonderful fundraising event. You should post a pic on your PTR

 

[krystle]

I wish they had one of those events here...

Trying to figure this all out.....

My daughter (13) got approved for a wish trip to Disneyworld. We have the dates (april 19-25 bummer is 2 of those days are almost all in the air). We had to buy our own airfare for our adult daughter(20)...but there was no way a wish trip was happening without her too! Not sure about her theme park admissions but, we will deal with that as it comes.

We are still awaiting other details...such as actual stay location.....But my oldest is super concerned as she closes in on her Bachelor degree that I find out if GTKTW has internet access....

So THAT is my first question....

I dont remember it being slow, but then again, I didn't need it like she will. I am sure if her name is on all the wish paperwork that she would be included in park tickets. Especially if she is on the GKTW paperwork on how many people are with your party staying there.

So glad Bekah's getting her wish. Off to read your PTR. Do you know how to link it in your signature?

If our cruise dates are approved, our extended stay at wdw will be the same time you're there.
