For those that have a feeding tube...I posted some pictures of Kylees J tube. I think it's getting infected. We don't deal with many infection, so I have no clue. It hurts to touch it and red. It's on Korissas PTR #17. I also posted an update on Korissa. She can use some thoughts and prayers.

I have tried several times to get one of those countdown tickers on my posts. I went to edit signature, made my ticker, and saw that it said cut and paste the url or whatever you call it. I tried and it doesn't work, what am I doing wrong?

I am loving everyone's wish t-shirts. Where did you all get them made? How did you come up with the designs? Suggestions please! Thanks

I got my wisdom teeth pulled today and decided that since I have to rest that today would be a good day to read some trip reports in preparation for our upcoming MAW trip in November. I love all these trip reports! I am learning so many helpful hints. Thanks to all of you who have posted your reports, really will be helpful for me. I can't wait!

Our wish trip was Sept. 26-Oct 2 and I cant truly explain how magical our trip was!!! GKTW is such an unbelieveable place.... Dont know if some of you and your precious kiddos were there when we were, but every child I saw I fell in love with! It was truly a blessing for my family to meet such wonderful parents and the most beautiful children with such a wonderful spirit and inspirational to me! My son had never smiled or laughed as much as he did the whole week so thankful for that!

God Bless you all You and your families are always in my thoughts and prayers

I understand that we will get a ticket to Sea World. Does this ticket get you into Discovery Cove where you can swim with the dolphins? Has anyone done this on their wish trip? My son really wants to. I mentioned it to our MAW chapter, but I'm not sure that they will do anything to help that be achieved, so we might just do it on our own. If we do, does anyone know how far in advance these tickets have to be bought or this scheduled? We go in November.

We are going on Madison's wish trip the end of October and I can tell you that the Sea World ticket does not include Discovery Cove. Madison's wish is through A Special Wish Foundation and they got us hooked up to swim with the dolphins and it has been schedule for at least a month. You MAW should be able to help you with it, but just incase they don't I believe I have the number somewhere if you would like me to find it for you I can. You can call them and see if they have anything available when you are going to be there. Just let me know.

Our MAW won't do both. They said that the Discovery cove is a whole other wish trip. It was the Discovery cove, Bush Gardens, and Aqua..something(its the waterpark). It was also 4 nights and you don't get to stay at GKTW. Korissa really wanted to swim with the dolphins, but wanted to go to Disney World. It was hard choice, but she choosed DW. I went to look up prices to see if we can do it on our own, but it would cost almost $1,900

How do I post pictures?

I added to our PTR Michael's MAW trip November 15-21, looking for any suggestions everyone has.

Our boys really want to go to Medival Times Dinner Theater. I called GKTW and they said they ususally have tickets, just to ask at orientation. Do you think that they have them for everyday? I was thinking maybe that would be something we could do the very first night we're there.

This was our experience as well. And we didn't do it because it was going to be so expensive for Lauren and her family.

When we went in 08, you had to sign up for tickets once you got to GKTW and they had to have 48 hours notice...so we couldn't go until later in the trip.

Our experience, very isolated I am sure and very dependent on circumstances at the time, was HORRIBLE at this place. You can PM me if you want more info about that...(or it is in my TR in my link.)

But for a typical family, honestly, it is a good deal. The wish child gets in for half price and the rest of the family pays 50% off...so it is a good deal. Make sure you pay the little bit for the upgraded section. And remember that they don't really know much about Make a Wish - so don't expect the pixie dust you get at Disney or Universal, but the show is good and the food is supposed to be good. Lauren and I had to leave before we ate.

Thanks for the help!
