Hi everyone! I'm so excited to join you all here. We just got DD's MAW approval two weeks ago, so we're early on in the process but I'm already bubbling with excitement and anticipation!
My family is me, DH, Wish Kid DD-7, and DS-18 mo. My mom and MIL want to tag along at their own expense on our trip-we are very close to both of them and my mom in particular is a lifesaver helper for us. We're grateful and blessed by the support she gives us when DD is sick.
They will be paying their own airfare, park tix, food, but can they stay at GKTW with us and ride with us to the airport in whatever transportation MAW provides? Will they give us a big enough rental car for 6 people even if 2 people aren't included in the wish? Anyone with similar experiences they'd like to share?
I read on the GKTW info PDF file that grandparents can come and stay in the villa if the total number is still less than 8 people (it is in our case) but only if they are non-complimentary participants and approved by MAW.
Of course our wish grantors will be coming soon to talk with us...but I thought I'd ask here first! Too excited!
THANK YOU!
Welcome!! Glad your daughter gets her wish! We got back a couple weeks ago from my sons wish trip. We had my Dad come with us and he was able to stay with us at GKTW as well as eat there. MAW paid for his transportation to and from the airport. He paid for everything else. They did give us a minivan but we have 5 in our family and my Dad made 6, so we would have gotten a mini van no matter what.
What is your daughters wish? My son (also 7) was to go to be a Jedi during Star Wars Weekend.

) started the process a few weeks ahead of us and it took four weeks after approval to have the meeting...so any day now! Been three weeks for us and I'm too excited to hold off on planning. I do not anticipate any hang-ups or issues clearing Ramona for travel, so...I'm not keeping myself of the DIS any longer 
She adds new tidbits in here and there as far as what she wants to see/do, but mostly she talks about who she wants to come along. I am surprised she understands (she has an ID), and she totally does. We talked about this place called WDW, and showed some pictures and youtube videos, and asked what she thought (knowing she would absolutely LOVE it) and she has literally mentioned it every ten minutes since...if she's awake that is 
She says, "Mommy, guess what? Oh, I go Disneyworld. Mommy, Daddy, Baby go too. And gramma Pam. And gramma Dawn!"
Yes, it sure has been quiet around here lately. 
Sorry I'm so behind on everything, will try to check on your thread very soon.
Caitlin. So exciting that Ramona is getting a wish. 
She sounds adorable.
