Has anyone ever participated in the Pirates and Princess Party at GKTW? We plan to attend it on our 2nd day there, after visiting Sea World. I was just wondering if the kids were dressed up for the party? I am sure Addison would love any chance she can get to dress as a princess, but I didn't want Elliot to be left out of that. I was thinking of finding him some pirate attire, but wanted to know if that was common or if he'd stand out

I think I remember seeing a few photos from someone's trip report that showed the kids in costume. Also, they had some craft tables set up--kinda looked like they were making tiaras and pirate hats, so maybe even the kids' that don't dress up 'get' dressed up. Sounds like a fun party! Hope we can attend, too. Brooke would LOVE to be in a 'coronation' ceremony!

Wow, impressive you got dates already! It's been weeks and we still haven't heard if the wish is approved or not! We must be slow up here...maybe it's the cold.

His wish was for Star Wars weekend and its only at WDW the last 2 weekends in may and the month of June. I actually told the local chapter a week ago and she said it shouldn't be a problem!! Yay!

We went to it on our trip. It was a total mixed bag...some kids dressed up (more of the girls then boys) and some were in their swimsuits and wrapped in a towel. I guess what I am saying is however your kids are comfortable will be perfect. We had a MK day with BBB and lunch at the castle that day so Chelsea still had on her Sleeping Beauty dress and Fuller had on his Prince Phillip shirt...even though it was a Pirate party they had knights there and they knighted him. It was super lovely! Hope you enjoy the party.

Okay, I'm confused....

I talked to our MAW volunteer, and she checked to see the status of our wish.

Apparently they are waiting to hear back from Hannah's doctor ... but they said it is one in Texas?! We moved from Texas to Vegas last June, and her doctors are all out here now. The only Texas doctor we still have listed is her Gaucher specialist, but it is listed as a contact for doctors to ask questions specifically about her disease. He hasn't seen Hannah for over a year.

I'm so very confused! When they check to see if a child gets approval for travel, how many doctors do they contact?

Me too!
