Tomorrow's the day!

Tomorrow afternoon when the kids get home from school we're getting in the car and driving from NJ to WDW for a weeks vacation. It will be myself, my sister and my 3 nieces ages 10, 8 and 4.

The 10 year old is on the spectrum and has anxiety issues but she's very high functioning. The 4 year old is on the spectrum, has anxiety and can be a handful in unfamiliar situations. We last took her to WDW two years ago and it wasn't a lot of fun. She's come a long way in 2 years, she's in full day preschool and is smart as a whip. She knows we're going and is excited about the trip, so we're hoping for the best and prepared for the worst.

I really hope she has a great time, or at least a good time. I'm looking forward to seeing the magic through her eyes. I hope the magic of Disney rubs off on our special princess and that she has the time of her life.

Please think good thoughts for us and especially for Kyleigh.

WDW is a magical place for our kids, have fun, do not push and let the kids take the lead, even if it is in multiple directions.

hope you have a great trip

Thanks Book! We arrived this morning after driving all night. We took the kids to DTD after we were settled in. Kyleigh was playing with the Mister Potatoheads when a CM came by and started asking her about her work. She took her potato, put it on a shelf and wrote a note with her name and age. She gave her a magical moment certificate that said she was the potatoe of the day. It was really cute! And it made us want to cry because it was just such a special moment. We are off to a good start!
