This was my son's Make A Wish trip and we had a blast! We have been to WDW one other time but it was about 7 years ago and my son was only 2 so he really didn't remember it.
First here is a link to my pre-trip report http://www.disboards.com/threads/calebs-maw-ptr-1-29-15.3365048/
Now, here the cast of characters:
First, Caleb, he is 9 and the star of this show. He has Cystic Fibrosis and he wanted to go to Universal and Disney World because he loves riding rides and he wanted to meet the superheroes at Universal. He is a comedian and wants to ride the wildest rides he can.
My 17yo dd, she also has CF and was granted a wish in 2009 to go on a cruise. In June of 2014 she had a double lung transplant and has been doing amazing! We waited on her to be healthy before we nominated Caleb for his wish. She is not quite the daredevil when it comes to rides (although she used to be), she is scared of heights and that has prevented her from riding some rides. She loves Harry Potter and was super excited to go to Universal
Here is my 14yo dd, she also loves riding the big rides and ice cream.
Also on the trip are myself and dh, I love Disney and would love to take more trips to WDW. I would especially love to take a trip with just DH and myself, he is willing but we will probably have to put that off until the kids are out of the house Here is a pic of the whole family
A little more background to our trip planning, we were given the dates for our trip in December so I only had a month and a half to plan I was sweating it since we only had 7 days (2 of which were travel days) with MAW, so we decided to extend our trip and added on 3 more days, still seemed like we were really going to be cramming it all in but we managed to go to both Universal Parks, Sea World, and all 4 Disney parks (and we didn't even feel too exhausted) The week before we were supposed to leave Caleb ended up in the hospital on IV antibiotics and we were stressing that we were not going to get to go on the trip. They let us leave the day before our trip and Caleb had to do IV antibiotics on the trip but we were so happy we didn't have to reschedule. Now on to the trip!
