Make a Wish (and other organizations) ~ Wish Trippers UNITE! Volume FIVE!!

[nesser1981]

We will be there the same time, just barely! We arrive on February 27th.

Our MAW chapter said 1 bag per person was included with our flight, so I'm taking 4 bags and that should be plenty.

Transportation we have a limo picking us up to take us to the airport and picking us up at the airport and bringing us home. We live a little more than an hour away from the airport.

Prayers for Mitchell and Sean!

Welcome John!

We leave in 24 days and are getting very excited! I haven't done much more in the way of planning as regular life has gotten in the way. I'm hoping to book Chef Mickey and Hollywood and Vine and then will consider it mostly done and leave it up to when we get there.

So it looks like a few of us will be there around the same time. We will be at GKTW 2/23-2/29 and then at Beach Club 2/29-3/4. Hope to bump into some fellow members.

Question: How does MAW handle the baggage fees from the airline? What about transportation to and from the airport?

I would like to not leave my car at the airport for so long and I'm not sure we will be able to get someone to take us as it's a work day for our family.

Also, for those that have gone before, how did your getting through TSA go? I'm kind of worried about all that. I already called TSA Cares and the agent was really nice to me and answered all my questions. Hopeing it will go smoothly. If you have a child with a port, did they set off the alarm or did you just go with the pat down? Did they have any problems with your child wearing a mask (surgical type)? Thankfully they told me he can keep his shoes on! How did they handle meds? Sorry for all the questions. These are the things that keep me awake at night. It's our 1st time traveling since his diagnosis and I get a little parnoid about making sure he's alright.

Oh, don't get me started on the germ thing. Yikes! I keep reading stories about people getting sick at Disney. Tell me to stop reading them. LOL!

You can if you want to. Most of the volunteers will be dressed up, so it just depends on if you and/or the kiddos want to wear them.

I have the last cd of pictures uploading to my computer as I type this. I'm uploading them to facebook and then I will begin my trip report. As I am sure that I will not be posting all 700 or so of my pictures here, if you would like to see all of my pictures you can friend me on facebook. sierra lubahn. the pic will be the same one thats on here or a disney world pic. Thanks for your patience as I get all of these pics uploaded. After this all that is left is the videos to upload and that will be working while I am sleeping tonight, and then its off to trip report writing!

Thanks for all of the welcomes!

Neither Kerri or I have been to Disney since we each were young, and I can tell a lot has changed .

Hi Everyone, my first post here, even though I have been reading for a few weeks now.

My name is John, my wife is Kerri, and our beautiful twins are Kate and Ben. They are around 3 and a half years old. Ben has a Mitochondrial disease where his body can't produce enough energy. He doesn't talk, crawl, walk, or understand very much, but is a loving little boy who absolutely loves Disney (mickey, etc..).

Ben is going on his wish trip from Feb 18-24, 2012, and I just wanted to say thank you for all the information that you have all shared so willingly! I was pointed to these forums by an avid Disney visitor here at work, and she was dead on! Even the information about "pooh-sized" visits is great, since I am pretty pooh-sized myself.
!

Welcome John and Kerri,
Just wanted to say that my daughter also has Mito. You will all have a blast.

 

[Mom2mitokids]

Thank you everyone for all the thoughts and prayers. We will need them. We put off this surgery for a year, but it's time to do it. Kylee will have the Malone(MACE) procedure. Thoughts and prayers to all that are also going through surgeries or hospital visits.

We did family pictures so I thought I would share.

This thread has tons of great info on the first few pages.

I'm going to do my best to do a great TR after we get back from our trip. We leave in 21 days! It's going by so quick. When we got Keira's dates we started at 47.

I don't have our days planned to the minute, but I've got a pretty good plan of what we'll be doing each day. I do have my meals planned though. Hopefully your Wish Coordinator can tell you how much to expect per meal, per person. Made it really easy for me. We're doing 6 ADR's on our trip, 4 character meals and 2 grown-up meals. LOL! Some quick service and we plan on eating dinner at the village 4 of the 6 nights we're there.
