This is really really late, so it's kind of an intro to my TR. *cough*
My DD (8) has been granted her wish to come to WDW in October by the MaW people, who are WONDERFUL. They are setting everything up, and are even trying to get enteral pumps for them to use at the Give Kids the World resort so we won't have to pack ours. (My DD and DS both have cystic fibrosis and gastrostomy tubes) My DMom and DDad have decided to plan their vacation so they can be with us at WDW and that way if DS has stamina issues or just is feeling badly, they can stay with him and Ally will be able to keep up her adventure. (just my parents!!)
So, here are the plans so far:
Staying at the Oak Leaf Plantation by GKTW:
DDad and DMom (young at heart)
Staying at GKTW:
DH Ronan(43)
me (38)
DS Logan(17)
DD Ally (8)
All first-timers to WDW but many times to DL
Leaving Portland OR on Oct. 21st, coming home Oct. 27th
No ADRs, because DH will do better with looser plans. (ie no rushing b/c we're late and have to travel halfway around the World)
I'm thinking we'll go to Epcot the 1st day, because that's the one she's most excited about. Animal Kingdom on Day 2. My parents wanted to take the kids to Discovery Cove and they are paying for all of us to go on the Wednesday of our trip. That is going to be SOO cool! Thursday, Day 3 we'll go to IoA and possibly US if we're up to it.. Friday Day 4 will be MGM and the MK. (we just went to DL in Feb, so hopefully we won't be too sad missing most of MK)
Because of DS and DD's illness, we are getting wheelchairs for both of them. I was afraid that would be overkill, but I'd rather not have them go in the hospital when we get home, and they will need the energy they save by not walking everywhere just to get through the week. I will do my best to pace them, but I know from going to DL that they both want to go commando and see EVERYTHING even if it wipes them out.
So, we are REALLY excited, and I hope to be able to figure out how to post pix when I come back, b/c I love TRs with lots of pictures!!!
