The daughter of one of my coworkers was granted a WISH trip to do Disney and Universal and my coworker has asked me for tips because she knows I’ve been to WDW with my family several times. I’m so excited for her and her family. This little girl is so awesome and and so deserving of this. This mom is so hardworking, she is pretty much the primary source of income for her family (her, her daughter, and husband) as her DH has difficulty maintaining employment and she is working on her masters degree and juggles her daughters numerous appointments and treatments on top of working full time. This will be her nine year old daughter’s very first Disney trip. They are staying at GKTW. She has asked me for any tips I can offer her like what I think the must do things are, what parks they should do or skip. She said her daughter specifically requested to meet and have a meal with Cinderella and from the way she explained it to me it seems like Make a Wish has already arranged this for her and their dining?? She also said they will bring the characters to GKTW for meet and greets. I did help her find and order some things online from the Disney store such as a tween Cinderella tutu skirt with matching shirt and a tiara and also matching family shirts for the three of them (she didn’t know there was a Disney store website being that there aren’t anymore Disney stores here). They will have a three day park hopper for Disney and I know they don’t have to worry about fastpasses because of the pass they get through Make a Wish so I’m not sure what specific planning tips I should give them. I did suggest getting familiar with the maps of the parks and showing her daughter some you tube videos of the rides/attractions she thinks she would be most interested in (I also gave her my WDW planning DVD from last year). I showed her the Disboards and she said she thought it was overwhelming. I haven’t been to Universal since the 90’s so I can’t offer advice on that . Has anyone here done a WISH trip and have any tips? Their trip is for the last week of February.
