Enjoy your time at the world Mary!!
I knew you said you were going but I didnt think you meant immediately!!

No more giggles today, but I am satisfied with a giggle and a few attempted smiles.

Have loads of fun and take advantage of being able to do what you want, when you want.

Say hello to Noah and the other wish kids for me

Love Mandy

[TarzansKat]

Hon, I haven't been on in a few days, so I missed the send off! I hope you're having a great time, you well deserve it, my dear.

 

[All7OfUs]

So cool!!!! Live updates. I just knew you'd have a splendid time!! I can't wait to hear your stories, and find out where you ended up eating. Now I have to eat vicariously through you, since I am STARVING! I wasn't sure you'd be able to post while you were there-I am so glad you can at least a little.

Looking forward to hearing more!

Mary,

I starting reading your MAW report this past Oct...I think I found it through Tracy and Bill's.....I swear I posted on yours but apparently didn't! I have kept you and Lauren in my prayers since then....she is the cutest thing...especially all dressed up as Tink!


I just finished reading it tonight. It was a great report and y'all seem like such a wonderful bunch of people. You had your ups and downs...the Pirate show /floor thing had me steaming!!! The rainbow over the airplane was AWESOME! I would have loved to see a picture of you in your wheel chair and Lauren pulling you!! Bet you got some looks!!!

Happy that William is okay.


Oh my gosh to your doggy in the toilet!!! She's SO CUTE!!


I'm also happy that you are in WDW RIGHT now....I hope you're having a magical time!

 

[ndloewen]

Hope you are having a fantastic time!! See you in 2 DAYS!!

​

 

[muttshouse]

Yay!!!!! I want details! Where did you eat? What are the great seats?? Being solo, did you get through the park in 1 day??

 

[KathyRN137]

Just finished the MAW TR....awesome....one of the best reports I've read!

And so, I am now patiently awaiting your next report!

Which I trust will be coming soon....

Kathy

 

[Khalana]

So much fun that you're there!!!!! Can't wait to read more!!!!

 

[All7OfUs]

Hey Mar-

I just saw your post on the other board about something awful you saw- I won't give anything away, because I'm sure you'll br writing about it in your TR, but WOW! I do hope you're able to get some sleep tonight, and can finish out your vacay without anymore of THAT!

Can't wait to read about EVERYTHING!

 

[maroo]

More on the TR and I will answer all of your sweet posts...but right now...I really only have one thing on my brain and heart that I need to get on paper in cyberspace...

You see, I have been trying for some time to describe GKTW.

And I have failed miserably.

So, I am going to try again…while it is still fresh on my mind. You see, I just left there an hour ago.



Give Kids the World

Smiles on worn out faces. Young and old. Smiles coming from a place so deep in your soul that you are sure have not felt this happy in a long time. Years, maybe. Your kids are playing. This must be the happiest place in the whole world.

Toys. Games. Treats. Music. Beautiful, happy music playing all around you. Dinosaurs that move. And dance. And spit! Trees that snore.

If you use a wheelchair…that’s ok. You can still ride the train. And play putt putt. And even ride on the golf cart.

Did I mention the trains? The big train you can ride. Heck, you can drive! Or the little trains that move, light up, play music – all at your command. The carnival starts at the push of a button. Or is it boats you like? They have them. Video games? They have those, too. Ice Cream? – there’s plenty!

The largest life size Candyland game in the world. Remember the gumdrop mountains? And the bridges and chocolate? Remember the bright colors and the lollipops? Imagine all of that, covered in a colorful canopy. Surrounded by castles and cottages. Wheelchairs are welcome. Encouraged, really, as you can roll anywhere you want on this playground. And it is real. Life sized. And celebrates life.

But do you know what the very best thing is?

All children and parents. Regardless of what brought them here. They “get it.” You are in the club. Because parents and children with special needs understand each other.

It is often unspoken. There is a comfort level at GKTW because you are all there for the same reason.

Your children are no longer different.

They are normal.

And happy. As happy as they have ever been.

Who wouldn’t be happy in Candyland?

 

[TarzansKat]

Oh, hon, that was beautiful. Just beautiful.

 

[KathyRN137]

Your children are no longer different.

And happy. As happy as they have ever been.

Welcome Back!

Okay, that was some really good writing! Know why, it was from the heart! Beautiful! THanks for that amazing visual.

Glad to hear you are doing well, and just can't wait for your TR!

Yes, that is it exactly isn't it? I have to say I'm quite envious... We were talking about going back just a few weeks ago and boom! there you are!

Hey...who know there was more than one park? I just thought Disney World was Disney WORLD not WORLDS...man we cranked them out. Wait until you hear about what we can accomplish in a day and a half or so!
