Make a Wish (and other organizations) - Wish Trippers UNITE! Volume THREE! :)

[maroo]

Sorry guys...



I have been MIA.

Job...life...just stuff...is keeping me from having time to really pay close attention to the DIS and follow everything that is going on.

I get a few min here and a few there, but no major chunks of time to really keep up...

I am committed to keeping this thread going and posting the TR's to the first page, etc, etc! I just don't know how closely I can watch each individual TR...if that makes sense.

PLEASE feel free to PM me anytime! Any time!!! And post questions here...as I try to at least read this thread every single day and make sure someone has answered each of you guys.


Please keep praying for Lauren and her family. They are looking at surgery dates now and are planning to fuse her neck clear down to her pelvic bones - which is going to be a massive surgery. She almost died after the last surgery, but at least they know it happened and will hopefully make SURE that doesn't happen again. I will keep you guys posted on her, too.

Where is everyone? It seems like ghost town over here!

We are leaving in 4 days!!!

I can hardly believe we are this close!!!

We got our expense check from MAW and I am wondering what others did? Did you take the cash or get traveler's checks? Are traveler's checks still fairly easy to use? I really hate dealing with them myself.

Do they have little safes in the villas at GKTW like they do in hotel rooms?

I would appreciate any additional last minute information anyone wants to throw in!!!

Woo Hoo!!! 4 days!!!

MAW gave us AmEx travellers checks, so we didn't have a choice. Everywhere at Disney takes them (even the food carts), and I would assume that most places in Orlando do also. They were $50's, so once we bought something, we then had the change left in cash to spend. I had never used travellers checks before, but it was very easy and convenient.

I don't recall a safe in the villas.

You guys are going to have SO much fun!!! My best advice is just to sit back and relax and let the magic happen. Don't be afraid to show that GAC and button from the beginning!

Thanks Laura!! We are going to use the heck out of that GAC and the GKTW button!! Hayley is always telling everyone that she gets to cut to the front of the line, so I know she won't be afraid to use it!

MAW/GKTW will be giving us tickets to Universal and Sea World. I have read somewhere that one of these includes lunch....dont know where I read it or how accurate the info was. Can anyone that has been to GKTW recently help me out please. If so which park/resturant/any info? Just trying to work on our budget...thank you!

We went on Tyler's wish trip 3 weeks ago and we didn't have a special lunch at either one of those parks although they gave us plenty of money for food for our trip. They do have free lunch at Katies Kitchen at GKTW. I hope you guys have a ton of fun..I know we did!

Hello! I popped in, just couldn't believe that 2 years ago we were returning from Mark's magical Wish Trip. What wonderful memories.

Mary, I am so sorry to hear that Lauren is facing major surgery again. I will keep all her family and you in my prayers...I know how much you worry about her. Keep us posted...

All is well with us, just very busy. The boys have a long weekend, so we're making a trip to see your nation's capital, leaving tomorrow afternoon. Should be fun!

The only free food is at GKTW. You have to pay at all theme parks.

Mary...you are missed, but we understand. We thank you for all you do.

Lauren is in my daily thoughts and prayers. Please keep us updated.

I'm glad she's not scared to use the pass. She deserves this trip and all the magic.
