Princess Mya's Magical Wish Trip!!!!!!! - Trip Report Complete!!!

[myasma]

I will post or PM you with more complete info as soon as it calms down around here. I have a 13 month old staying with us through the weekend. That brings us to 5 kids - 13 months, 17 months, 5, 7, and 10. It's very high energy!

One song we sing with Michelle is simple. It uses all the Ling sounds which covers all the frequencies. I found it online at auditory options.org. Hopefully it is okay to post it here.

The horn on the car goes beep beep beep
Beep beep beep, beep beep beep
The horn on the car goes beep beep beep all through the town.


The people in the car eat mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
The people in the car eat mmm, mmm, mmm all through the town.


The snake on the road says sss,sss,sss
Sss, sss, sss, sss, sss, sss
The snake on the road says sss, sss, sss all through the town.


The ghost/monkey in the car goes ooo, ooo, ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo,
The ghost/monkey in the car goes ooo, ooo, ooo, all through the town.


The babies in the car sing laah laah laah,

The mommies in the car go shh, shh, shh
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh

Toy props: car, food item, snake, ghost or monkey, baby doll, finger to mouth to say “shhhh”


I found a great toy at KMart today for learning to listen. It's the Little Tikes Farm 3-D Memory Match Up. I am using it for the animal names and sounds and cueing her to listen.

I bet you get lots of resources from her school. I don't know how much mine will be relevant, but it may be. I will make it a goal to send to you if I can get the babies to nap at the same tiime one of these days!

This is great. She has alot of trouble with shh, sss, and mm. Im going to start singing her the song at bedtime. I can't wait to see all the other resources you have to share.

Thanks for all the great comments. It means alot to me and Mya and will help us as we go through treatment.

Before tuning into our regular program I would like to say that thanks to the Disboards we were able to do most of the things we wanted in 3-4 hours. We were there from 9 am-12 pm. Now, back to our regular program.

We were up by 7 am, atleast I was and soon Mya and my Mom were dragging behind me. After eating breakfast in our villa, we left around 8/8:15. The directions were completely easy to follow. It was coming back that was a problem, but more on that later. It wasn't too long before we saw this.

We follow the infamous blue line and find the diamond parking lot which is 5 minutes walking distance from the transportation to get into the park. The line for the monarail was insanely long. So we of course remember our disboards advice and hop on the ferry boat. Now this was ridiculous. As literally hundreds of people were waiting for the monarail, there were literally 10 families on the ferry. This is definitly the way to go.

Battling the lines to get in weren't that bad. We just went to the far left and they were usually empty. I will say that this was supposed to be a level 8 park day but we hardly saw any people. The lines were short and even if we didn't get front of line priveliges, wouldv'e had 5 to 10 minute waits for all the rides.

Before we even entered the park, we experienced the magic of Disney and it set the tone for the rest of the day. We had to get Mya's stroller as wheelchair sticker so we headed over to Guest relations. I asked the CM if we were in the right spot and instead of having us wait in line, she had us move to the side and got another CM to get her sticker. She did tell us that we had to get our first tive visitor button at city hall. Well when the other CM came out, not only did he have the sticker and buttons but he also came out with a whole roll of mickey mouse stickers. He really interacted great with Mya and proceeded to decorate her whole legs with the stickers. It was a little thing to do but it really set the tone for the day. As soon as we entered Main street, we saw all the characters in a big circle. I had heard we were not guarenteed frnt of the line for characters but I decided to try anyway. We didn't have to wait in line to see any characters the whole trip!

She really liked the face characters but not the costumed ones. So she stayed in her stroller with Pinnochio but got out when she saw Mary Poppins. Next we headed up main sreet and had to take a pic in front of the castle.

The show they have was going on so we cut through the side and went to Fanatsyland. Most people stopped for the show which made our first stop pretty empty. We first rode the many adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Mya hated this ride, she screamed and cried the whole ride. Understandably, the ride was very dark and had many unexpected twists and turns. So for the next ride I let her choose and she chose Dumbo.

She loved this ride so much that she rode twice. After Dumbo she surprisingly chose the carousel. I decided to sit that ride out and my mom and her waited in line since it was so short. However while my mom and Mya was riding, the CM told us not to wait in line. Mya also rode this twice and I rode with her the second time.

I went back to our list and decided to cross peter pan's flight off the list due to the obvious trauma induced by pooh. Though we did do IASW to introduce her back to enclosed moving rides. She was scared through the whole que, started to like the ride, then got bored halfway through. I was glad because this has got to be the most annoying song in the world but atleast it is airconditioned.

After IASW, we went to check into CRT but we were 15 minutes early so we went to Ariels Grotto so Mya could get wet then came back. While my mom was checking in, I got Mya's dress together. That is when I discovered that the mister fan had spilled and Myas outfit was damp with water. What to do? Well I thought since it was so hot outside, she could just wear and it will dry fast. So even though she was a wet princess, she was still recieved well in court.

This meal was wonderful.The interaction was great, food was great, and Mya met her favorite princesses. Cinderella, Snow White, and Aurora were her absolute favorite princesses. She didn't really care for Jasmine or Belle. I think she thought Jasmine was inproperly dressed and belle didn't have on her princess dress when she met her the first time.

After leaving CRT, we decided we were done for the day and started to head out. We had already decided to come back for a second day to do the things we had missed. On our way out we saw this.

Now as you remember Mya was seriously scared of all costumed characters and this parade was the first glimpse she would get of Mickey. How would she take it? Mya almost had a heart attack. She was screaming, waving, and I really thought she was about to burst out with tears of joy over him. Seriously, the way her face lit up was so bueatiful. I didn't take pics but I have it on video and have to figure out how to upload it. After the parade, we brought Mya and her cousins some Mouse Ears and candy and left for the village. The rest of our day was spent swimming, eating, and partying at Mayor Clayton's birthday party. These are on video too. More rides on the carousel was to be had and finally dreams of the Epcot day to come.

We all just sat and read your TR. You are making me so excited for ours! There were more oohs and aahs than I could keep track of. Mya is such a darling! I love all the pictures you included! Eagerly waiting for more!

 

[VroomVroomLightning]

I just started reading your TR and am loving every moment of it! Your daughter is so precious and I love her pics in her princess dress. What a cutie you have! I can't wait to read more!

Oh what a great day at MK! I can't wait to hear about the rest of the trip!

I'm curious to see how Mikaela reacts to the characters. I think she'll be ok and love them -- especially her favorite Pooh characters.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks. I tried to take alot of pics but unfortunately I lost our camera on the last day there before I could download the rest of the pics but my mom took pics with her camera and I got photopass. So hopefully that should help.

Im sure she will love the characters. The key thing with Mya was taking it slow and warming up to them. By the end of the week she was running up to them and hugging them.

Great updates! I'm glad Mya had a good time (except for Pooh ) I'm sure it was all quite overwhelming for her. I'm SO sorry you lost your camera...I would have cried Glad your mom got pics, though, so not all was lost. Hope Mya's having a good day today!

 

[Matt1026]

Enjoying your TR so much!!!! I also have the concern about how my boys will take the characters up close and personal. I hate to hear about your camera. I know that must of been awlful for you.

Can't wait to read more.

I actually did cry like a major baby. Then I just let it go. There was nothing I could do about it and atleast I had some pics and the memories.

There is still hope I've heard of people getting home and their cameras being mailed to them from Disney. We'll just have to pray for some pixie dust that that will happen to you!
