Is there a glossary somewhere? I get the common 'net-wide acronyms, but some of the Disney specific ones are indecipherable. I'm starting to feel like some of these things were written by Robin Williams' character in "Good Morning, Vietnam!"

"The VIP's ETA is on the QT so the FOB won't be FUBAR!"

Please pray for Mya and her mom Shardai...see latest update on her caring bridge site.

Hey guys...

Just wanted you guys to be aware that Mya is not doing well.

http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/myaroseharris

You can check there for updates (and please leave her a message - they are so encouraging to her).

It looks like Mya is about to earn her angel wings. She is in a lot of pain.

Hi all...

My name is Connie and I am new here. I would like to tell a little about myself and Jamie...

Hi Connie! Welcome to you and Jamie! If you can talk to Jamie about some ideas of what would "also" be fun, not instead of WDW. But like everyone else has said, a trip to WDW is a very common wish and one that they seem to have grown capable of handling easily. I would be shocked if they told her it couldn't be done. They may not be able to work with your first choice of dates, but if you can supply them with several options, I'm sure it will work out.

Hi all...

My name is Connie and I am new here. I would like to tell a little about myself and Jamie...

Jamie is my 10 year old little cousin. She has been raised by my grandparents since the day she came home from the hospital (her mother was and is still a drug addict.) She was born with many problems, one of which is her kidney. She had a kidney transplant in 2005 and is doing MUCH better!! on July 28,2009 my grandparents were on the way home from her renal appointment at Texas Childrens Hospital, when a man rear-endedtheir car 2 times because of road rage. My grandfather got out of the car and went to the man's truck and was arguing with the guy. The man drove away and dragged my grandfather on the highway. He was taken to the hospital and later died. Jamie witnessed all of this! In November, she was taken from my grandmother and placed with the pastor and his wife because she didn't want to change schools. The pastor's wife decided Jamie was too much for her to handle and wanted her gone! Jamie then came to live with me. I just love her to pieces and am so glad she is with me.

We found out a few weeks ago that she is going to have a wish thru Make-A-Wish. She really wants to go to WDW, but has to give them 2 different wishes. I was hoping to get some suggestions and see if there is any way to guarantee her real wish of going to WDW. Any help and/or suggestions would be GREAT!!

Thank you all in advance for your help. I am looking forward to anyone's suggestions.

Have a wonderful day!!

to the DIS and to the Wish Trippers thread!!!!

Yes, please don't worry about not getting the first wish...Disney wishes are pretty easy for the organization to grant! They require two wishes from each child, since some first choices can't be granted.

Lauren picked going to Paris as her second wish, I think. That is one way to encourage them to pick Disney.

But seriously...I don't think you guys will have any trouble!

I know there are quite a few new families that have joined in the last few days... Just wanted to say WELCOME!!!!! If any of you have any questions ask away. You have found the friendliest thread on the DIS Boards! Any dad's out there don't forget to check out the DIS Dad's thread as well HERE

I have also taken the liberty of 'borrowing' (AKA stealing) a great write up of 'How to Multi-quote' that was posted on the DIS Dad's thread by FreezinRafiki (Barry). Original post HERE

Notice how the button turns orange when you click it.

Once you click all of the posts you want to multiquote, then you click Post Reply. Your screen should look like this then:

You can type your responses where I've shown in red. I also use the "Preview Post" button that is right next to the "Submit Reply". It will show you what your post will look like without actually posting it. You can then go back and make changes if something is wrong.

WOW! Tim, this is AWESOME!

Definitely will be linked on the resource page on here!

There is a great list here!! If you need any specific ones just ask away! Hope this helps!

Another VERY useful link!! Thank you!!

Please pray for Mya and her mom Shardai...see latest update on her caring bridge site.

Thank you so much for posting this!

I was just coming to post this. Please remember them both in your prayers.

And thank you, too!


Please keep praying for Mya - to be pain free and please pray for Shardai - this has been a horrible couple of weeks for them.

Just made my CRT and other dining reservations
Does anyone know how much tickets are for the not so scary halloween party??

 

[Adrismommy]

We have dates! July 17-23 Now we get to start planning. I'm so excited!

Woo Hoo!!!

I think they are about $60 for an adult and $50 for a child? But that is just a guess...

Maybe they are a little less than that?

But a one day ticket at Disney is $79...so, if you are on a wish trip and want one extra day at Disney - the special party ticket is the way to go. You can get in at 4:00 PM and stay till after midnight.

We had a great time at that party on Lauren's wish trip!

We have dates! July 17-23 Now we get to start planning. I'm so excited!

Woo Hoo!!! Awesome!!!

PS: I added your dates to the link on the first post of this thread.
