After some discussion last week with the Make-A-Wish Southern Alberta Chapter, my husband and I have decided to change Stephanie's wish from meeting Jewel to meeting the Disney Princesses at Disney World. Although she still enjoys listening to Jewel, we thought Disney World might be more memorable for her and easier to comprehend.
Well on Friday the flights were confirmed! November 12-19th my sister Karen and I will be taking Stephanie to Disney World!!! We will be staying at a wonderful resort that was built specifically to provide families and children of such wishes an enchanted place to stay - Give Kids The World Village. This resort in itself is 70 acres and has an incredible amount of activities to enjoy but we also will receive a 3 day pass to Disney World and it's different parks, a 2 day pass to Universal Studios and a 1 day pass to Sea World! Stephanie will get to meet some of the princesses during our visit to Disney World. She is beyond excited now and thinks that when we get in the car each day that we are going to Disney World.
In addition, the wish granting manager advised us that the Canadian National Board of Directors for Make-A-Wish will be personally adopting Stephanie's wish and will be making the donations to make her wish come true. They are very excited about this news since it is the first time the National Board has adopted a wish for their own! A profile of Stephanie will be presented to them, as well as details of the visit and a plaque to give appreciation of their generosity.
I think this will be an exciting journey for Stephanie and our family!!! Time to get her passport finalized...
