Make a Wish (and other organizations) ~ Wish Trippers UNITE! Volume FOUR!

[blessedmom4]

Wow! Things are moving quickly!! I just received word that we have an appt set at Downtown Disney's BBB for 10:30 on Glo's Birthday (3/1) followed by Epcot’s Akershush Restaurant for Lunch with the Princesses at 1:25pm! Have any of you experienced either of these?? I'm just curious what to expect....

Once again, I am thrilled for you all to be able to get this magical trip at Glo's BD!!! We did Akershus for breakfast in 2007 (I didn't know if my girls ~or me would like the lunch menu. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful). It was a lot of fun, plenty of face interaction and Lisa was THRILLED that Belle took a picture with her when we first came in. Lisa's favorite Princess is Belle and now Rapunzel...(You can't tell from the photos probably; however, Lisa's hair is VERY long...about two inches below her fanny )


ETA:The Princesses visiting through the restaurant that morning were Aurora, Jasmine, Snow White and Mulan. We saw the same Snow White later in Epcot and she recognized us all and talked to us about Breakfast. One of my favorite parts was entering Epcot early, before they were officially opened, since we had early reservations.

Just wanted to say the view has a segment today about a 2 year old with retts syndrome (sorry if I spelled that wrong). I am sure that you can watch it online. It just happened to be on for background noise and it sounded familiar so I sat and listened!

to all of the new Wish Families...I have visited many of your PTR's, just wanted to say HI.

Just wanted to let everyone know Ty came through is surgery. It ended up being 16hours long as they ran into a problem and had to call in a 3rd surgeon. He spent 2 days in ICU but is on a regular floor now. Had some concerns with fevers but he is doing better with those. He will be here a few weeks. I'm so glad the hospital has the Disney Channel! He loves the new Pirates show commercial. He can't wait until it starts coming on. I think in a few weeks?

If you would like to send him an E card you can go to the Cincinnati Childrens website and click on E cards. He is at Cincinnati Childrens A3 North/South room 336.He would love to read them.

We have done both of these. My daughter (4 at the time) and son (3 at the time) loved it! The princess' spend lots of time with the kids and will get close to the floor with the smaller kids. The first time we did the breakfast my daughter had on almost the exact same dress as Ariel. Ariel came by our table several times and one time gave her the sweetest kiss. That is still one of my favorite pictures! I also like that the food is served family style (at least the hot food). You will enjoy this and BBB too!! How exciting!

We have dates!!!!! March 31st-April 8th!! We are extending to see family while there

Yeah on dates!!!!!!

 

[Mom2Miracles]

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like they are alone in what they are going through? So many people have children who have similar medical issues, so they can relate. No one has a child who is sick like mine, and while i'm glad no one has to face the same issues we do, its hard. Maybe its just me....i'm having one of those days.

Hi everyone! Sorry I disappeared for a few months. It was getting too hard to hear of all the wonderful things that Disney had to offer and the unknown of when we could go. After being told that we could NOT go for Glo's birthday because there wasn't enough time and everything was booked up I was planning on not going until the fall. After telling Glo the last 2 months that we wouldn't go until next school year I received a call an hour ago saying we CAN go!!! We fly out Feb. 27th (!!!!!) and Glo gets to get "done up" and have lunch with Cinderella on her birthday March 1st!!!
Yikes!!! Where do I begin??!!!!

Yeah on finally getting dates!!!! and you don't have to wait long.

So I we finally got the ok to go home. Our flight is leaves tomorrow (if the snow stops) evening. We should be home around 7pm or so. All the test have come back normal which is good and bad. Good because they were all normal - bad because they can't figure out why she is having the low grade fevers. They changed some meds and her skin is looking so much better. Cough is still there, but that is something that she will just always have due to the asthma. They will keep a close eye on it though to make sure it doesn't go into pnuemonia. We have to get the swimming pass so she can swim 3-4 days a week to help with the skin stuff. She is loving that. Oh how am I going to fit everything in? Meds, creams, lotions, inhalers, treatments, doctors appointments, infusions and swimming. That doesn't include regular everyday stuff like eating, school, bathing, family time and sleeping. I will figure it all out though. I have to to keep her healthy and with us. Thank you all for the prayers.

Glad you are finally going home. I know the feeling of just wanting answers.

I'm glad Ty is doing ok. What a long surgery. I will be keeping Ty in my thoughts and prayers.

Kylee has alot of issues like your daughter. Her stomach and intestines are shutting down. She has been in the hospital every month for 6-10 days since August(many before then too). We will most likely be back in on Monday. She has been FTT all her life. She has had 8 major surgeries and countless minor ones. I get what you are saying.

Thanks girls, i'm sorry any of us are in this boat. *hugs* to you!

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 competely booked.

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!!!

Looking forward to reading about all of YOUR adventures !!!

I would like to know this information as well. Maroo, this would be GREAT to have in post number two. Of course, you might have it there already and I am completely overlooking it. That wouldn't surprise me a bit!
