MK and HS rides- epilepsy

[Nicnicnic.nic]

My son was recently diagnosed with epilepsy and I'm finding a hard time seeing a list of attractions that would have the advisory due to the strobing lights. I want to know ahead of time so we can have a family conversation but also cuz LL. TIA

This is information @SueM in MN posted on our old FAQ thread. It should still be valid:

Make a Wish and other Wish trips

• General information and trip planning
• Give Kids the World Website (many families on Wish trips stay there)
• Make A Wish Website
• Wish Trippers UNITE! Volume SIX! - - A thread here on the disABILITIES BOARD for information/support/planning/tips for people going on WISH trips. There are links to many, many WISH trip reports in post #1 - these are updated as new trip reports are received. There are links to resources in post #2 - so be sure to visit the first page before jumping into the discussion.
• The previous volumes of the Wish Tripper's Thread got too long, so had to be closed. There is still a lot of good information in those closed threads, so Maroo (the thread keeper) included links to the older closed threads in her first few posts on the open thread.
• Wish Trip planning thread - short thread, but has many good tips from Bill_Lin
• MAW thread with many links
  MAW trips and Guest Assistance cards (also see post #6 of this thread)

• Wish Trip Reports - Note: There are many links to past trip reports, sorted by year in the WISH Trippers Unite thread.
• wendygrace's MAW trip report
• jennydep's 2006 MAW trip report
• Bill_Lin's 2007 MAW trip report
• GoofyDoo's 2008 MAW trip (First 15 pages are planning; Trip report begins on page 16; Lot of Give Kids the World Village pictures page 17, 18 and 19
• MAW send Lauren to WDW (Fall 2008 report)
• Pat McDucks DisneyLAND 2008 MAW Trip

• Organizations for WISH type trips for adults
  Dream Foundation - this is the best known of the adult wish granting organizations
  Dream Lives On
  One Gift - Happiness Unlimited - this organization is only for cancer patients
  Fairy Godmother.org is still listed on a lot of resource lists, but their website is no longer operating and the organization closed October 31, 2008)

The Big Give is a group of kind volunteers who provide some special surprises to families who have been approved to go on Wish trips.
They are not able to give to every family, but they sprinkle as much pixie dust as they are able. Because there were some misunderstandings about how the Big Give works, I was asked to add this message to the disABILITIES FAQs thread:

I know we have a lot of new families. I want to say WELCOME! I know your child's Wish trip will be magical!

I would also like to remind everyone that the Big Gives are not something you can "sign up" for.
Please don't message members asking for your child to be included. Asking puts us in a postion of having to say no. We really don't want to do that. Posting on other threads does not increase your child's chances. The way the Big Give works is we find you. There is not anything for you to do to make it happen. The planners of the Big Give are in contact with each other and planning Gives months in advance. The Gives are a gift, it's not something to ask for or strongly hint at. If you qualify and are chosen for a Give, you will be notified. We are fairly persistent if we don't get an answer the first time we PM too!

We are volunteers who sew for Wish kids as time and money allow. We are not part of MAW and don't get funding. We are Moms and Grandmas, who work, manage our families, attend school, homeschool and sew when we have spare time.

Even without a Big Give, EVERY child will have a special and magical trip!

To all of those getting ready for your trip Have Fun and enjoy a magical week with your child. For those still waiting for dates, hang in there-magic is around the corner!
