I woke up at 5:30 in the morning after sleeping for a grand total of two hours. Didn't even need the alarm clock to wake me up, guess I was just too excited to sleep. My mom was already up also so we dressed and did last minute checks to make sure we had everything and the money got put on the card. Wait, what do you mean zero balance!! So made a quick call to our wish coordinator and my mind was put at ease. After we were sure we had everything, I was going to go wake sleeping beauty up but the spell lifted before I could give the wake up kiss. She ran to me shrieking "Mommy, I go to Mickey's House!" I told her yes today was the day. I got her dressed and she was so excited waiting for the car to arrive. Here are some pics of her waiting oh so patiently.

Yes, she made me wait outside untill the car arrived. After about 15 minutes of waiting, this is what we saw.

We grabbed all our stuff and we were outta of there. Well first Mya had a complete meltdown about actually getting in the limo. Two year olds, they're scared of practically everything. So after a minute of nice coaxing and a couple of shoves, we were on our way.

We arrived at the airport around 7:30, checked in, and recieved our boarding passes.

We actually got to our gate about a hour and a half early so what do you do when you have nothing else to do but wait? Take lots and lots of pics.

Around 9:30 we boarded and we were off to Floridai. Our flight had turbulence throughout but strangely I didn't get scared untill we landed. Mya had no problems flying thanks to my Mom who kept her occupied. The only thing she didn't like was being seatbuckled in the seat but she solved that problem soon after.

The flight was actually early so we landed around 12 pm. I still say the landing was the scariest ride I went on during the whole trip. The plane was bumpy and descended out of the air very fast and reckless. We walked past the security checkpoint and saw the greeter. We didn't get a pic with her but she was the nicest person and started off the week perfectly. We were led to our rental car and given the directions to the village.

The directions were very easy to follow and we soon found this.

We were greeted in the House of Hearts by another nice volunteer where Mya was given a Mickey Mouse and then we ate lunch before seeing our villa. We ate at Katies Kitchen which is sponsored by Boston Market and followed it up with some icecream. Everything was delicious and we were stuffed when we were done. Upon arriving back at the House of Hearts, we were whisked away to our villa in a golf cart. But wait, why is there a family already in our villa? Oh, we're really supposed to be in the one next to it. No, the toilet is broken. Well where are we staying? So back to the house of hearts to see what's going on. We were given two options. We could either wait for one of the new villas to open up which might take a while or we could take one of the old villas. What do we do? We take the old one , I mean by this time I'm like Just give us a villa please. Our villa turned out to be perfect as it was right next to the pool.

Next up... shopping, dinner, and does Mya transform into a princess?
 
Oh!! I love it, love it, love it!!!!!!!

What a great start! The pictures are wonderful.

What a nice "car"! Very nice ride!

Gosh, I hate it about your plane ride...I hope that the ride home was a little smoother!

Villa right next to the pool sounds great! (Sorry you had to go through all of that to get there, though!)

Sounds awesome. Absolutely can't wait for more! :)
 
Yay! I want more! I love the start to your trip (other than bumpy landings). And the carousel picture is so cute! Sigh. Can't wait to hear more, did I mention that? :rotfl:
 
I want more too! Mya is just darling! She'll have another package arriving soon! The street you live on is so so cute!

You just totally made my day! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I'm loving your trip report, and I can't wait to read more!
 
I was tempted to wake up my children when I got on tonight and saw you had started your TR. They are eager to hear all about Mya's trip! :woohoo: It's amazing how much little Mya has touched people she has never even met. My kids talk about her and pray for her as if she were their buddy.

I love the pictures. What a great way to wake up - asking to go to Mickey's House. She is truly adorable! I look forward to reading more!
 
I too am enjoying the report. LOVe all the pictures!

Can't wait for more!

Great start to your TR!!!!

I'm a baby on the plane. Every little bump and I'm freaking out. The worst was on my honeymoon. We flew from Oahu to Maui (about a 30 min flight from what I can recall) and we were bouncing around the whole time. I truly thought we were going to end up in the ocean. I might of even kissed the ground when we landed! LOL:rotfl:

I am happy that she is making friends all over the world. She made so many friends with people in Florida and the village, it was amazing. This one family from Puerto Rico fell in love with her. Even though we didn't speak the same language, they became inseperable. I am also very excited about Deyki getting his wish and think its so cool that you adopted three wonderful children in need. One day I hope to adopt too. If your children want to read more about Mya they can go to her personal site at caringbridge.org/visit/myaroseharris . More in depth updates are kept there. I hope even after I finish Mya's trip report our families can keep in touch.

You sound like me. The flight back home was 10 times worst. I was praying and bribing God the whole time to please let me see the ground again. :rotfl:
 
I just want to say that I somehow stumbled on this thread, and I've been silently following the updates for the past several weeks. I'm so glad to hear the trip was as magical as you wanted it to be. It truly brought a tear to my eye to read the journal post on the site you linked. If I am any indication, Mya has more friends than you even know. (btw I'm also from the Philly area)

Thanks you for sharing Mya's caring bridge page with us. I just finished reading it with my oldest daughter. I am so glad you had a great week at Disney after all you have been through this past year or so. Wow! You and Mya are so strong! I don't know if I posted this on Deyki's TR, but Michelle, the baby I have guardianship of, has profound hearing loss. She lost her hearing due to meningitis at 7 months old, and had cochlear implants activated in April. I have found lots of great resources for deaf and hard of hearing children that I would be happy to share with you. Michelle goes to an oral school for the deaf twice a week and is learning to listen and speak. I am sharing some of her journey on Deyki's Care Page - THELITTLEENGINETHATCOULD.

I am so glad that you feel refreshed after your trip! I can't wait to read even more about it and enjoy Mya's cheerful pics!
 
I've been anxiously awaiting your TR!!!

"I go to Mickey's house!" That is so sweet! I love how she has her bag ready and is waiting on the porch!

Mya just knows she should never get into a car with a stranger! :rotfl:

Yikes! That landing does sound scary!!

The picture of the 3 of you in front of the villa is so cute!! You look so happy!

Oh my gosh! Those carousel pictures are awesome!! Minnie on the carousel behind her and she's pointing to Pluto! :faint:
