Thanks, everyone, for your replies! I am very excited but overwhelmed too. We apparently leave May 2 (two weeks from today), but have not received ANY info yet. I have been reading about the Fairy Godmailers but can't seem to figure out how to request postcards (don't know if there is even time). Any help would be appreciated.

It SEEMS like one of our families is from Raleigh, NC...am I crazy??

Ok, well, I know I am crazy....but...


Do we have anyone from Raleigh? Or any of the other spots in NC that had all the deaths from this set of storms??

I just want to make sure all our peeps are doing ok!

I called MAW yesterday since it had been 4 weeks since we were told DeAnna was going to get a wish to just check on things. We were told that there is not enough volunteers in our area so she could be waiting a while "ask for her wish". That has motivated me to think that maybe after this experience, i should become a MAW volunteer. Has anyone ever done that?

We go back for an MRI tomorrow to check on DeAnna's tumor. She is going to be wearing her Lilo and Stitch T-shirt. She said she wanted to thank the doctors for giving her a wish and to let them know what she is going to wish for.

Another thought, I know that some of you wonderful people sew. Do any of you know of someone who sews for pay? I would pay someone to make DeAnna a Lilo- style dress. That way as we wait for our wish she can pretend to be Lilo. She wanted to dress her brother (3 yrs old) as stitch and he is happy to play that part so we orded him a costume online but could not find one for her. Any ideas?

 

[that's nice]

Question?

We have never used bug spray in Florida... the thought never even crossed my mind. I always thought it was too hot for bugs to survive down there!

I know you aren't allowed glass bottles in the parks, if they are medically related, is it allowed? We may have glass nursette bottles (6oz bottles of formula), will that be a problem? They are original bottles from the maufacturer, not something we are putting the formula in. I need to know ASAP because if its not allowed, we need to try and find an alternative. I would hope for something like this, it won't be a problem, but you never know I guess.

You might want to call Disney on this one but I found this on their site

Items that you may not bring into the theme parks include but are not limited to:
Glass containers (excluding baby food jars and perfume bottles)

Excluding baby food, okay so we might be good. Formula isn't necessarily baby food, but when its her only source of nutrition, I would hope they wouldn't argue it. Who would I call about this? Not each park, I hope...

Thank you for posting that!

I can't see them arguing it! Of course it will depend on which bag check person you get. Honestly, we only had one out of our whole trip do a thorough check of the bags. The rest poked a stick and was done. Maybe the Make A Wish backpacks helped? If one were to give you trouble I'd just ask for the next in charge. You could start with this number: U.S. Guest Information (407) 939-6244

If they allow perfume bottles (seems like an odd exception, to me), I sure hope they'd allow your formula bottles!

WHOOP!! 50 days!!!

Thanks for the #, i'll try and call them tomorrow. We have a backpack from CWF too, hopefully that will help.

Isn't perfume the strangest thing to make an exception on? lol!

Its quite possible Peanut will still need to be on IV meds on our trip, at least for part of it anyways. Now I have heard that some rides you can't have anything with you (like purses, cameras, etc). Well, I can't exactly take off her IV pump/meds for a ride, especially with her having a port (if her port isn't in use, it must have heparin in it to avoid blood clots, which isn't something that can just be done on the fly). We can unhook her feeding pump, but she'll still have a small pump and med bag. Will that be an issue for any of the rides? We don't know for sure yet and may not know until the last minute but I want to have an idea of what to expect, just in case.
