Is there anything at GKTW for " downtime "? My kids colour, play playdough, draw, play dolls, beyblades, zoobles etc. Should I bring stuff? Do they have anything?

What do you wish you had brought?

there is a TON to do at GKTW.

Not sure if you mean in your villa? Or just around GKTW?

There is lots and lots to do at GKTW. And they give you stuff to entertain the kids throughout the week in your villa, too.

If you child has a favorite book or game, though, I would definitely bring it - in case they don't have it.

But in all of the TR's I have ever read, I have never seen a family that got bored in the villa. Mostly they sleep because you will be exhausted. Or if you have the energy, you may be out on the town at GKTW and there is tons to do.

So sorry he isn't doing well. I totally get the whole lake of control thing. Will keep you in my thoughts. Hope he gets to feeling better soon.

Thank you. Your daughter will be in our thoughts as well.

There is tons to do at GKTW. There is minature golf, a small train, toy boats to steer, and a miniture train. There is also a play ground and two pools, not to mention basically nightly activities to enjoy. There are even movies you can barrow at the main building to watch in your villa. We brought some coloring books and other small activities for the plane but never used them at GKTW. We even recieved a board game as a gift from GKTW that we didn't even play until we got home.

Maroo and Corrine coved this pretty good. There is also an area where they have video games- I think they are all Wii's but I'm not positive on this. I'd be shocked if the kids got bord at GKTW... if they do you can always send them to get ice cream.

They have Wii and XBOX 360. One of the XBOXs have Kinect attached. Amberville also have a pool table and ping pong table outside.

Thanks for the info!!! My big concern is that one child needs a nap, and the two others are gonna be bored LOL. Or Daddy needs a nap, etc. I am packing some colouring and playdough for the plane - i think we'll be good!

Is it too cold to swim in March?

Nope, you should be okay. It is almost 80 here all this week.

It is ( seriously ) -22 here.

Thanks for the info! We just peeked inside the room but didn't go in.

you should think it is quite warm enough to swim!

The pools are heated, too.

Advice needed!!! Abby went over to the neighbor's house to play after school and the mom let her play come to find out the little boy has the flu and strep throat. I am beyond upset, since we leave in 6 DAYS!!!!

Any advice to keep my family healthy???? Besides handwashing and santizing...

We are home and while I am a bit sad the trip is over we all can't get the smiles off our faces we had such a great time. I don't think I have words yet to express what a great, amazing, wonderful, surprise filled and magical 15 days we had. Chelsea was a princess and Fuller was a knight...both of them tried so many things they had never done before and rides I never thought they would ride. I was brought to tears many times with the amazing dream that was coming true. For all of you that have been on your trip I am sure you know what I mean and for those of you still to experience it I can't wait for you. We are a happy but exhausted family! I had a chance to edit our pictures from the first day on the flight home so I will try to get a TR started as well as finish off our PTR with some amazing things we received before we left and once we arrived at GKTW. Now to get all caught up on the Dis! Give me a few days to catch my breath but fun stuff coming soon!

Hi folks, just a quick question for anyone that's gone on a wish trip from the UK or anyone who knows, we are due to go on Owens wish trip in four weeks, I've read lots of reports from people who have gone and make a wish have given them spending money for the trip, I know this happens with you guys in America but do MAW do it for us in England? To be honest it would come in handy as it's very tight right now and although I'll have enough money for us it would be nice not to worry about it! I haven't asked MAW as they might think I'm being cheeky!
