Yes, we are going on the 15th. We have reservations at the Crystal Palace that night since Pooh and friends dress up in their Halloween costumes during dinner. I thought it would be fun for the kids to be dressed up and have the characters dressed up too! We definitely need to meet up that night. I will pm you after the move and we will arrange for details!
Dreams come true with Disney Magic! I received an unbelievable phone call tonight from my sons WISH coordinator. I had proposed a few weeks back that they could use the pin code I was given and we could stay on Disney property and get free dining. I explained that I assumed that they provided us with some $$$ for food and that they rented us a car that they could save that money as we would not need either of those. I knew that they were trying to save money. Then I gave them the price to stay at an All Star Resort with the free dining and explained that they could save the food money and we would not need a car. I was told that the condo in Orlando was reserved and the dates were firm so we would return on Thanksgiving and that staying on Disney property was not an option. I was so stressed with the upcoming move that I replied that whatever they selected for Tyler would be fine. Then I have just spent the past two days moving to our new home.
Tonight on my way home from dinner at my in-laws after moving boxes all day Tylers coordinator called. I almost dropped the phone with what she said next. We will leave November 20th (a day earlier) and return November 25th (the day before Thanksgiving). We will fly out of our hometown. We will be staying at All Star Sports with FREE dining! I almost dropped the phone again! Tyler will get the perfect Wish/Dream. I guess Dreams really do come true! This will make Tyler have the best trip as he was only interested in Disney anyway since he is so little. I guess I will need to make dining reservations next week. I will definitely schedule breakfast with Lilo and Stitch since he loves Stitch and his whole wish is about Stitch. I just have no words. After going round and round and giving in, this amazing news came in! My son will spend a magical five days at Disney at All Star Sports resort. He loves Sports! I am just in awe and disbelief!
Free dining AND staying on site - AWESOME! And WOW to getting tfly out of your local airport! So much better than a long car trip before a your flight - and now you have more MAGIC time!

I have more good news to share! It is about Tyler's new school. We had met the special ed teacher during registration. Then last night at meet the teacher's night we met his teacher. She has a special needs son that has issues very similar to Tyler's. I did not ask what his diagnosis was. However, I asked if he could wear Crocs to school since even though it is a public school, the students wear uniforms. Her reply made me want to hug her. She said that Crocs were fine and they dumped the sand out of everyone's shoes when they came in from recess. She said this without prompting! It will be so nice to have Tyler not tiptoeing off of the bus due to his feet hurting so bad due to all of the sand in his shoes. It will also be nice to have a teacher that knows exactly where Tyler is coming from since her son is only a year older than him. He is in the right place and it was just by a prayer being answered that he is in this school. We had tried to move him to Rainbows, our local special needs agency and last week they declared bankruptcy so we are glad now that he did not get placed there. Then we could not find a new house close to our other one. This house is about 6 miles from the old one, but it puts us in a different school for Tyler. It is a magnet school that is difficult to get into if you don't live in the right area, but we live in the right area so he is automatically in. I am so happy! Then he met the speech therapist and she sat down on the floor with him and blew bubbles with him and they hit it off right away. She already knew who Tyler was and had read his file! He is going to do so well here! I just had to share my excitement!

I have more exciting news. Our family has been chosen for the Big Give!
By the middle of our September trip, Tyler was back to loving Stitch!
Really? I had no idea!
I love the Stitch pictures! Stitch always cracks me up in the parks!
Friday - Garden Grill Tyler wants to eat with Chip and Dale. We have never eaten here. I also thought it would be easy to get from Epcot to the Magic Kingdom for MVMCP. I do not have tickets yet, but I hope to purchase some soon. I am afraid to ask our Wish volunteer for the plane times. I have an idea, but not concrete times. At one point in the planning I was asked to book the tickets and then they would reimburse us, but the messages got crossed with us moving to the new home and then their travel planner returned from her vacation and took care of it.
Sat - Yak and Yeti at 4:30 Tyler did not pick this one. I did, but I thought it would be fun for him to see the Animal Kingdom with no one in it after dinner so I purposely booked this time with the park closing at 5 pm.
Sunday - Lilo and Stitch Breakfast at the Polynesian Tylers whole Wish is based around Stitch so he wants to eat breakfast with him!
Monday - DS Sci-Fi Tyler saw the cars that you dine in and wanted to try this restaurant. My husband and I ate here about 11 years ago and we were not impressed, but things can change so we will give it a try for Tyler.
Tues. - Coral Reef Tyler wants to eat with the fish. Our family does not eat fish so we will see what the menu of non-fish is like. Everyone has told me that you have to take Wish kids to this restaurant. We have never eaten here either.
Wed. - Crystal Palace Now either this meal or one of the other less expensive meals will be an out of pocket meal since we only have 5 dining credits and six meals booked. This meal is at a time before the Magic Kingdom opens so Tyler can see the empty park on his last day of his trip. He also loves Tigger and sleeps with a giant Tigger in his bed along with an even bigger Pooh Bear.
