Hi all!
Well, we are really looking forward to our upcoming stay at GTTW and Disney! Our first trip!
About us...
Wish Kid = 7 YO Jackson (more about him in a bit)
Sister = 5 YO Taryn
DW = Jeanne
me = Craig
When Jackson was born we were quite suprised to find that he was a Down Syndrome person. Another suprise cropped up on 9/8/09 when we were told that he had Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. We are blessed to have such great facilities to treat him locally (Cook Children's Hospital in Fort Worth). He is an awesome, energetic and smart little boy that also happens to be tough as nails (also had reconstructive heart surgery at 4 months old).
Well, we are looking for some hints and tips regarding out upcoming adventure...which will also take place over Thanksgiving, which might present some unusual opportunities and challenges. So far I have looked through the following excellent links obtained from the beginning of the MAW thread...

Any other great lists of hints/tips, etc...?
We would love to hear about the easiest/best ways to have a GREAT time next month. I was also wondering about the need and timing for restaurant reservations.
Thanks all,
Jackson and Family,
Euless, Texas
