Hi!, thank you-she really is very excited. She's not been feeling very well lately but Disney talk cheers her up! You have a lovely family!!
Our son is 15, the girls are 12, 4, & 3. Our 12 and 3 y.o. girls both have severe cerebral palsy. The other kids are a TREMENDOUS help and are so loving and thoughtful!
AWwww she isnt feeling well??? I hate that for her. Hope she feels better soon!!!!!!Hi!
, her tiny body is so twisted from the cp and scoliosis that she's rarely able to sit or lie comfortably. I think the heat has had quite an impact on her lately. She's such a warrior though, like all our special kiddos. She'll bounce back soon I'm sure. Thanks for your concern! 
Thank you!
Thanks! Good to "see" you here lol!
. Baby Keira had surgery a few weeks ago and Tink had been admitted right around the same time. They are both doing well now and we're back on our Wish Trip grind!
I started with 30 (I'll have to replace them every month) and each day one of the kids gets to pop one. Inside each balloon is a strip of paper with our daily Disney activity. 
I haven't posted in a while. It's been pretty hectic around here lately
I started our countdown last week (at 130 days...I couldn't wait until 100 lol). I planned on doing a chain link buuuuut instead we now have an entire wall in our hallway dedicated to the trip. I used a red tablecloth from the dollar store and taped it up as the background. Poster board with "Disney World 2015" and a plaque with yellow paper and a chalkboard paper mickey head. All around it I placed pictures of Disney characters. The fun part...BALLOONS!
Balloons placed over a characters picture on the wall tells us which movie we'll watch that day.
I found TONS of free printables. Many on the disney movie rewards site.
Let's see, I also found a DISigner that made some cute shirt designs and welcome letters for the kids. If you're interested, check her out on here. Her name is Lady B.
I printed out Tinkerbell letters and started writing a list of items to include in their daily gift. I don't intend to go nuts on those-just give them things they could use each day. I'll include things like one of their gift cards, sunglasses, lip gloss/chap stick, pen for autograph books, pin for their lanyard, and snacks for the day. When we'll be out at night I'll include glow sticks/necklaces/spinner toy etc. and cute hat/gloves/ear muffs/scarf. Maybe a "coupon" for one special purchase from mom & dad (which we plan on doing anyway).
Oh I made luggage tags last night using designs I found on photobucket and the plastic id holders we get on a lanyard when our kiddos are inpatient at the local hospital. I found 9! I (apparently) knew my accumulation of them would come in handy one day!
I'll take pics of everything and post them soon.

Thanks for your kind words! You are absolutely correct-planning this trip has been a most welcome distraction and I can't help but smile and be giddy while thinking of all the ways I can make this trip extra special for my family!Sending my prayers up for Keira, Katyana, and your entire family. You are a such a strong and wonderful mom. I think planning a Disney trip can be a fun mental escape. Your countdown wall sounds awesome
Thanks for checking out Tyana's ptr! You really do have to start planning early. You're getting close to your 180-day mark to schedule your ADR's! I hope your 19 year old will get to join the rest of the family. I've seen many people bring their adult sibling, just not sure if MAW provided flights and tickets. Have you checked with your coordinator or wish granter about that yet?
I did. I don't think I have any pictures of those yet but I typed up a quick note to all the kids from Tinkerbell. In the note it pretty much tells them to be on their best behavior and she might fly over to sprinkle a little pixie dust on them throughout the trip. I'll have it set up in front of their gift bags. The girls have a Minnie tote that will have things for them to do on the plane, plus toiletries, and pj's for our first night. My son's (he's almost 16) bag is a black Mickey tote. Nothing flashy for him lol. It will have an eshop card so he can buy a new game for his 3ds to keep him occupied on the flight down. I'll add candy, snacks, etc. as well as his pj's.
