Spencer's Make a Wish Pre-trip report

[mdfalls]

We just heard today that we will be going August 14 -21 to stay at Give Kids the World in Florida! Our 8 year old son Spencer has Duchennes Muscular Dystrophy and this is his wish. Mom, Dad, and three of his siblings will be along for the ride and we can't wait!!! We definitely are looking for any tips anyone can give us. The excitement is unbearable!

We heard from Make a Wish that we were able to get nonstop flights for us from Norfolk va to Orlando, there and back. Yay! Also that they are providing transportation for us to and from the airport. We will be staying at Give Kids the World. So excited!

I'm trying to learn how to use this site so my posts have been short and I thought I'd add some information on our family. (I have been reading the disboards for ages, and even used them to plan our last disney vacation) but posting is alot harder for me, so bare with me!

We are a family of 7. A blended family I should add. A year ago I married my next door neighbor. We lived beside each other growing up from the time we were 5 years old. My husband's late wife passed away due to breast cancer four years ago and he has two children of his own. Madi who is 12, and Spencer who is 8, with Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy. This is Spencer's wish.

I have three children. Morgan who is 17 and graduating high school two days before our trip..and one year earlier than schedule! Madison (a boy) who is 13, and a cancer SURVIVOR. (He was then 2.) And Aspen who is 11.

We live in Virginia Beach with our dog Hannah (a cocker spaniel) and two cats...mia and sophie...and can't wait to go on the wish trip. 3 weeks left until we leave!!!!
