My daughter, my mother and I are heading down to Disney and GKTW on January 30th for a week! My daughter was diagnosed with cancer when she was 21 months old and has had many other medical issues since. We are so excited to meet all the other families and the volunteers who run this wonderful place. My daughter (who will also be celebrating her 5th birthday while there) is so excited to meet the Princesses -- we are hoping to see her favorite, Sleeping Beauty amongst our travels. We have Storytime Breakfast at Epcot booked and Cinderella's Royal Table, between the two, we hope she should be able to! We are planning our week out as best as we can before we get there, leaving lots of downtime for our diva! SO EXCITED!
We had to postpone our son's MAW trip after our trip was set up. MAW was very understanding....we were supposed to go in Oct, and my son's transplant which was set for July, was postponed after we got to the hospital and found he had an infection.... we hoped we could get it done quickly enough to still take our Oct trip, but we wound up in the hospital doing the tranplant during our scheduled MAW trip! MAW had no problem, but since we couldn't go until this spring, we had to wait for dates as they didnt schedule that far out.
Judy,
You WILL get to go. It may not be this spring, but you will get there. MAW handles stuff like this all the time dealing with critically or chronically ill children.
This happens a lot! MAW is very used to this and will take care of you. Obviously it is best for them to know before airplane tickets are purchased, but they will help you at any point...even if it is just a shorter term illness. Everyone wants the wish child and parents and siblings to be healthy when they go (as much as possible).
I know Lisa can't do the heat, but can you set up dates some time in Oct or November? If you need to cancel than you cancel. They won't book your flights until August or Sept and you should know how everyone is doing by then. Like everyone is saying...YOU will be going. ((HUGS))

I believe it's on the MAW site that if you want an international trip you have to be old enough to write why you want to go. I know it was on Korissas letter when she was approved for her MAW.
I have been reading several trip reports and trips that are coming up quickly...I keep reading about a send off party for the kiddos. Do they do this with every wish child or is this something that the child wishes for? I haven't heard anyone in our chapter talk about it. I was just curious. Also, when they arrange flights for your trip, do they put you in regular coach seats or do they give you the upper seats? Do they try to give you nonstop flights or do you have layovers? I am just thinking of things as they come along...I'm such a planner and I like to hear of what we should expect so I can mentally plan for my family.
Okay. Thanks! BTW, no news from MAW yet. Im beginning to believe the guy that told Dad that it can take around 4 months before someone visits your house. Im starting to re-think my tentative wish.
does anyone know of hotels that are close by GKTW? Seems as though my son Kade will have an entourage of people going with us.....2 sets of grandparents and a friend that is a pro photog that wants to shoot our trip.
she shot this story about us a few years ago.
