We went into the wish lounge the MK, got a water, went the bathroom, but even though Jake was super tired, he was fine sitting in the stroller, walking around than sitting in the lounge. He sat there looking out the window asking when we would be going back out...
( my husband and I were talking to another famly) I was really hoping to go check out the one at epcot, but really we were just that busy running around. I will say this, if knew we would be going back to Disney again so soon, we would have spent more time at GKTW (meaning, be back there by 4pm for the rest of th evening).
So my advice is, check out ALL the wish lounges, even if you ony stay for a sec... and make sure you enjoy GKTW...it really is such a special, special place...
This is GREAT advice! If you plan to go back to Disney - to me - the best thing to do on the actual wish trip is to take full advantage of the things you can only do on a wish trip...
- Go visit the Wish Lounges at the MK and Epcot (there is now only one in Epcot, since the Test Track lounge closed)
- Make sure you catch all of the characters that your children (or you!) want to see! Show the CM the button at each location and they will show you the right place to enter to wait - 99% of the time, they will speed you through so that you can get back to GKTW quickly and enjoy those activities.
- GKTW is the most magical place - anywhere. Including Disney. Make sure to make time to spend there. Some nights are more "fun" than others...and it may be hard to choose between some Disney evening activities and GKTW activities...if you are pretty sure you will be back - go with the GKTW activites.
But...remember...once a GKTW wish kid - ALWAYS a GKTW wish kid! You are welcome back there anytime - you can even eat and go to the parties (you just can't sleep there) - but you can hang out anytime!!
I know it!
Enough to make your eyes bulge out! I did go back and mark a bunch of them as ** FINISHED so that others would be able to find the ones that won't send them on a forever cliff hanger.
And I very sadly felt the need to put some angels beside the precious children's reports we have lost this year.
PS: If you are one of the families that has not been able to finish a TR - please, no worries... family comes first! It took me months to finish Lauren's - and I have no kids - so really, no pressure...although you know we LOVE reading them! My biggest fear is that some families are afraid to come back because they did not ever finish...we would rather have you guys HERE and joining in - no worries about that!
Hello All!!! I have been missing in action since we have gotten back from our trip in September. After we had gotten back my husband's father illness had gotten worse and he went home to be with the Lord on December 13th. So we had spent most of our time with him the last few months.
I have missed you all and can not wait to get caught up with everyone and read the new stories.
Lucas is doing well. Still talks about his trip alot and stills plays Disney World Trains. He is going tomorrow for his first check up since his chemo.
Man, I have missed you!!!
please tell Lucas hi for me!!
And...did you see Matty's report?!? You guys started the ball rolling that made HIS special night a reality...so go check it out! Lucas will love looking at all of those pics, too!
And please keep us posted about his appt tomorrow.
We will continue to be praying!
Thanks! I was just adding some ADRs to our itinerary for the week (silly, I know considering we don't even have confirmed dates yet
), and I have factored in quite a bit of down time just hanging out at GKTW. She just can't handle being on the go all the time. Even with the holidays, which haven't been THAT busy, she is crashing big time. In fact, I'm about to go take her temp and make a decision as to what we're going to do with her tonight.
I do NOT want to end up in the ER down there.
Not silly at all...In fact...if you are within your 180 days...go ahead and make some ADR's for the restaurants you really want to do...so that they are not full by the time you get date.
And let us know how you guys are doing. I hope you don't have to go to the ER...but if you do, please let us know...there are some major prayer warriors on this board.
Just wanted to let you all know that I got Brigitte's PTR started!!
Super excited!! Sorry for the length!!
