What a WISH!

Home sweet home! It's bittersweet to say that because Stephanie, my sister and I had such a wonderful time during our trip to Disney World that we would almost prefer to stay there! It's great to be back and be able to share the wonderful memories that we made.  Give Kids the World Village was an amazing carefree place to be with your family.  Breakfast, lunch, & dinner was served or delivered every day and tasted like home cooked meals made with love.  The evenings were filled with events and activities such as Halloween on Mondays, Christmas on Thursdays, and bbq pool party on Saturdays!  Stephanie received a gift delivered to our villa each and every day we were there.

As for the theme parks, we had such a blast and I couldn't have asked for Stephanie to be more cooperative and happy.  We lugged her around everywhere and she loved it all!  Let's see, we met and got pictures with Cinderella, Aurora, Rapunzel, Belle, Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, Lion King's Rafiki, Woody and Jessie from Toy Story, Baloo, Dora, Diego, Boots, Patrick from SpongeBob, Green Goblin from Spiderman, Tinkerbell, her new sister, Curious George, Cruella DeVille, Woody Woodpecker, Chip and Dale chipmunks, sea lions, stingrays, dolphins, alligators, snakes and you name it!!!

There were a few teary moments...happy ones...for me and my sister.  The look on Stephanie's face when she met some of the characters and how wonderfully they treated her made this whole trip priceless.  I think along with meeting Cinderellla, Stephanie's most enjoyable moment was feeding and playing with the dolphins.

I don't think I will be able to come up with a thank you letter to Make-A-Wish and Give Kids The World that will adequately sum up how we feel about what they have done for Stephanie and our family.  These memories will last a lifetime.  I took hundreds of pics and some fantastic videos, some of which are posted in the Make-A-Wish page link on the right.

Now if only I can find a way to get Stephanie to understand that every time we get in the car we are NOT headed for Disney World!!!

Toodles!
