Just about all the airlines I have heard waived the fees..if you asked. I will try to have as many carry on as we can. We may have 1 big suitcase we will check in. This will be Scott and mine clothes...also to bring things home in. I did email them too and this was their response...

Thank you for your e-mail to Delta Air Lines.

While we would like to offer special consideration in cases such as
yours, we are unable to honor the many similar requests that we receive

We appreciate the opportunity to review your concerns and hope your trip
is pleasant in every respect.


Oh well...not going to let us down. I can't believe how fast everything is coming. Still need to tshe rental van(after our stay at GKTW) and hotel.

That stinks. I am so sorry, but at least you found out ahead of time. I agree with Maroo, you never know what they do once you get there. Our chapter did account for our luggage. When we got our expense check, it was broken down by how much we needed for what. It was a checked bag for each person with a ticket (and that included the baby) Good luck!

I FINALLY found some times/days that would work w/ our schedule...I have booked Akershus for my girls on Saturday, Mar. 5 at 3pm. They did not have breakfast available for any day or time. I figured I'd book it while it was available and I can cancel if something else becomes available.

I also booked a breakfast for Cape May Cafe on friday, Mar. 4 @ 1015am...it's a character dining w/ Minnie, Goofy and Donald Duck. All 3 are fav's around here (well- ALL Disney Characters are fav's). I haven't heard any of you talk about the restaurant...Anyone have anything to share regarding Cape May Cafe? I am curious...both of these restaurants are in Epcot apparently and One is going to have to go...but they want to see Minnie & Goofy and Chef Mickey is completely booked.

Cape May Cafe is not in Epcot. It is in the Beach Club, which is about a five minute walk from the Epcot International Gateway. If Friday is not an Epcot day, you can get directly from the Beach Club, by bus, to any of the other Parks.

Wow! You are good. I know Tim does it and Mallory 's mom, but I had no clue. I maybe asking this question after our trip

Wow, That was A LOT of posts I have missed. Things were pretty crazy getting back right before the holidays. Allison got sick, Jonathon got sick, DH ... sick. We had a lot of appointments, and for some reason the post-partum depression reared it's ugly head again.

I just went back and read 20-some pages of posts. Prayers to everyone that has been sick, in the hospital, had surgery's or just needs them. Congrats to everyone that has dates~ YOU WILL HAVE SO MUCH FUN! YAY for everyone that has gone since we did. Welcome to everyone that has recently joined the board!!!

I haven't been able to catch up on PTR's or TR's yet. Shoot, I just started our TR the other day...and have been home over a month. So my goal is to continue with ours and catch up with everyone else. I did notice that some of the things I have posted are not there. If I used my phone, they didn't show up.?!?!?

Oh well..... I promise to keep up better!!

Can anyone help me find somewhere to find the information about posting links. I know how to copy it and paste... but I want to do it where the title you click on tou takes you to the post. Any help appreciated!!!

Off to read your TR.

Hi all, Man wish I would have found this site much earlier! Anyway I am Dave from Milford, Ohio (East of Cincinnati). Anyway we are also a Wish family x2. Our first time at WDW was in 2003 for my son's Make A Wish Trip. The trip was purely amazing. Jordan got to meet Genie and the Beast that what he wanted to do. GKTW village I can't say enough about the staff and all the angles that are there to make our trips so enjoyable. Second trip was this last December for my youngest daughter Morgan. We got to come down for our first time during the holidays. Nothing beats Disney all dressed up for the holidays. Since 2003 we have been a total of 6 times and it never gets old. Anyway just wanted to do a intro to say hello. The bad thing about leaving you loose contact with other wish families, so I thought. If anyone was down at WDW Dec5 thru 11th say hello, and if you weren't say hi anyway.

OKay, I am very slow..I still don't get it...I am old too, please be kind. How do I isolate the ONE post that I want to link to? THANK YOU for any help...I honestly need to be led step by step.

Let's use the link in your signature as an example and see if it will help...
You would need two internet windows open, this one and the one to your PTR.

In this window, type in the words you want displayed, in this case it is:

The WHO, the WISH, the WAIT...WHEN will be the date? Princess Lisa's MAW PTR.

Next, go over to the other window you have open, the one that is your PTR. Click on the address, right click and select copy

then come back to this window and drag your mouse over the words:
The WHO, the WISH, the WAIT...WHEN will be the date? Princess Lisa's MAW PTR.

after that, go up and select the world icon

when the window pops up, right click and select paste then click OK.


Now, if you were wanting to link to an individual post inside of your thread (like in making a Table of Contents) you can click on the # in the top right corner to open that post in it's own window, then copy the URL of that page.

Did that make any more sense?

 

[that's nice]

Hey Dave!

It is nice to have another guy around here... (no offense ladies!)

We were in Florida December 1-7 staying at GKTW. We had an amazing trip... and you are right, the decorations were awesome!

OKay, I am very slow..I still don't get it...I am old too, please be kind. How do I isolate the ONE post that I want to link to? THANK YOU for any help...I honestly need to be led step by step.

Judy-


1) click on the post # of the page you'd like to link. When the second page opens up 2)You need to copy the webpage by highlighing it and copying it(right click)

After you copy the link, go back to you other open page. Click 'Reply to thread' or 'Edit post' (like the first post of your thread to add a table of contents) and click on this: (thanks for the pic!)

A box will open up that says {Please enter the URL of your link:} Erase the http and right click in the box. Choose paste. Your copied link will appear in the box. Click OK.

Your Respond to Thread page will look like this:

It will show your link 2 times... notice the one that is greyed out? You can change the grayed area to say what ever you like. Example

Click HERE for Juliana's Trip Report!



Here is what it looks like when you make your own links- taken from my Table of Contents:

I hope this helps... if not PM me and I'll try to walk you through it.

Are you two...**GASP**...laughing at me!?! (Yeah, okay, so am I)!! First, I am in awe you can put ARROWS in your posts to show me what to do. I am taking David to his Fire Fighting Post; but later, when I have a lot of time, I am going to go through step by step and see if I can do this...and if I can...THAT will be a miracle! BUT, you will be relieved to know if you needed anything MEDICAL, I would be the person to go to... as long as I didn't have a computer to deal with

THANK YOU BOTH, I wish I could play with it now!!!!!

 

[jj0plin]

I was definitely not laughing at you!! I just found it funny that Tim and I posted the same thing at the same time!

 

[luvmygrlz3]

Can someone tell me if any of the Princesses or Barney come to GKTW?
I know a few little girls that would love to meet them and I sure don't want to miss their appearance at GKTW if they DO come... TIA!!!

(Will post this on my thread as well as the main thread...so I'm going to cover my bases...lol)

I've seen pictures of Belle and Barney at GKTW but I don't know if they always come. I did mention to our MAW coordinator that Elliot loves Blues Clues, just in case Universal could get him there.

I WAS laughing at me. Sorry, I am a bit of a jokester and those who know me know what a feat it is for me to even be able to email sometimes Just putting an "avatar" under my name was ...lets just say interesting as I figured out what to do. That is why I am in awe that you have such a GREAT signature...I wish I could do that!

Your and Tim's tutorials were so similar and it wasn't lost on me you both posted at the same time . GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE!! I can't wait to give it a try and hope to not embarrass myself, you have made it look so simple, THANKS AGAIN!!!!

LOL Thanks! I am a computer geek by profession

I can see that. I know who to turn too when I have issues. I do want to link my TR. I think it's easier to read. Thank you.
