MAW Magical cruise for AJ

[jessica52877]

I am enjoying getting to meet you and your family! Just wish it was for different reasons, but AJ sounds like a wonderful child.

What a nightmare/blessing of day that must have been when you were in Vegas! Makes me second guess the thought of ever going on vacation without Dallas.

Mine was here in no time! Did they give you the quick download?
What room are you in? Did they tell you? You can check out the reviews (if there are any) on wdwinfo site room reports

Yea!!

I just love this story...

Free bump on this Pre-trip report!! wanted to make sure all of you guys saw it!

Working on our last treatments this week!!! Yahoo! He is going through his last in-patient treatment right now, and next Tues. will be the last out-patient. (hopefully).

We are in room 2008, and I looked online for a review on it, but there wasn't one. No news is good news, right? I was kind of disappointed it wasn't a room with a balcony, but maybe we can upgrade on our dime once we check in. I was reading in the passporter that is a possibility. I should probably research about it more. Anyway, we are totally happy with anything really, and hopefully won't spend much time in the room at all.

Don't feel bad, we thought the same thing! What cat is it? Do you have a porthole? Congrats on getting your room though! Doesn't it feel more real now???

 

[camarks1234]

Just finished our last treatment this week!!! WOOT!!!!

No, that's not coffee, just hot choc. he is a hot choc afficionado!

I really need to get in gear with planning as far as suitcases and stuff go. yikes!! I'm not a good packer. Any advice on packing is appreciated!

Yes, it looks like we have a porthole so that will be awesome! More later!

Parrrrrrrrrttttyyyyyyyyy!!! Isn't that wonderful???? Funny, I started taking Emy to a therapist and it's our "treat" to get hot chocolate on those days. Too FUNNY!!!!

Packing, um, don't ask me. I'm an OVERpacker. But, I'd probably bring two large suitcases for our family, plus carryons. The kids have their own backpacks for the plane (leapsters, paper, crayons, etc) and I carry the snacks and DH carries the cameras. I'm still debating what "purse" to take for excursions. I think my overland Donner is going to win out

You know you can also send a package to the ship ahead of time, just as long as it doesn't have food in it I believe.

Yea! I'm sure that is such a great feeling!

As far as packing-I'm not sure how much you have read over at the Disney Cruise area. We went on a 4 night cruise about 18 months ago. This is my biggest advice-try to pack light. For dinner, bring a couple of pairs of pants ( or skirts if you prefer- I brought capris) and then rotate shirts. You can store your empty suitcases under your bed ( you might have to lift the frame up a bit to slide them under)-this frees up a ton of room. The best time to swim is when you first board-depending on when you board. We got on around noon, grabbed a bite to eat from the buffet then the kids put on their swimsuits and swam in empty pools. If you want to do this, make sure you carry on your swimsuits with you-you won't get your suitcases until about 3:00pm. The pools are small and after my boys had done the Mickey slide a couple of times, they were done with them- but the hottubs might be fun- Nathan can't do them, so we skipped them.

You are going to have such a wonderful time!

Woo Hoo!!!!

Congrats, AJ!!!!! That is fabulous!

I LOVE, LOVE hot chocolate. Especially white hot chocolate. Yum Yum. In fact...in honor of your celebration...I will have one just for you!

Packing...just make sure you pack and extra duffle or something...cause you will probably come home with more than you take. And that stuff expands!

 

[jessica52877]

Hope you all are okay as I see it has been a while since you posted! Is everyone excited for the cruise?

thx everyone. I will update this soooon! It has been an insane month. We were at the hospital all week this week and internet access was intermitent.

I do have awesome news though!

We think we have NED for AJ!!!!!!

(No Evidence of Disease)

He has a spot of radiation necrosis on his brain still so there is a blip. Hopefully it won't cause any serious issues and the radiologist still hasn't seen the spinal scans, but our oncologist said everything looked good ott.

Praise the Lord!

We got pixie dust yesterday and I will update with pictures soon!!!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! It brought smiles to their faces after this long week.

You can see the determination in his face as far as that button is concerned

Sweet that Culvers had his name up in the ticker lights outside, that must have felt awesome seeing that as you parked up!!
