How fun and exciting that you get to share your story and support such a beautiful cause!

Just to share, Hannah and I were on Fox Morning News here on Vegas on World Rare Disease Day to share some events that were put together in Hannah's honor. It was a very interesting experience! (Except that I had been awake for over 26 hours and looked like crap, and Hannah was having none of it! LOL)

You are an AMAZING STRONG Mother!! Hannah, Abby and Ethan are so LUCKY to have you for a Mom!! I pray that you get the recognition that you so deserve in finding treatment for precious Hannah!

Completely Just curious whether or not anyone has purchased one of these personalized princess CDs before? (http://www.mytunez.biz/servlet/the-48/Party-Disney-Princess-Tea/Detail) They look neat--you get 17 tracks (of princess songs and dialogue) where your child's name is said over 50 times. Just wondering if it is worth the $$$?

I've bought personalized books before (each of my daughter's received one for their baptism and I gave a Christmas one to my eldest nephew once upon a time) and the kids love it. They really enjoy flipping through the books and spotting their name. I thought B might like the CD as well--and I was thinking of maybe giving it to her as a 'tink gift' or something.

BTW: They also have other character sing-a-longs available too--Mickey, Elmo, Spiderman, Care Bears, Barney, etc.

We have dates!!! And they're SOON. May 22-28. Now I'm glad I had read all of that stuff before as that suddenly seems REALLY soon!

 

[brookerene]

Yay for dates!!! That is quick!

 

[mom2pixies]

Good news! Wow--that is quick. Good thing you're prepped!

 

[shruley]

When I saw it on the Ticker, it looked even sooner! Yes, I had read countless trip reports on this forum. It is an amazing help!!!

Congrats on the dates!!!

Was there someone who can give you the expected crowd information for your trip? (Maroo?) I've always used Tour Guide Mike in the past, but don't really want to pay $21.95 just to use the crowd calendar. Budget is a little tight, the $21 would be better spent on a new travel bag for Aleah! (She's 7 I figure she can start hauling some luggage herself! LOL)

First of all welcome and I am so happy for your family to have this amazing and magical trip. Wow...it is so hard when siblings are jealous. We have younger kids so it was not a problem for us as my son was just as excited to go to DisneyWorld as my daughter so I don't have any good advise...sorry. I did want to let you know in our experience our kids were treated equally special and wonderful on our recent wish trip. They are great to wish kids and siblings at GKTW and every park we visited.

You had asked for tips and suggestions for your wish trip and help making it extra special. I would really suggest reading through others trip reports as they have awesome info about special things different families have done. I found lots of tips and great suggestions from reading through others experiences that I was able to use on our trip. Also do feel free to ask specific questions here as I am sure someone will have an answer for you.
