More MAIL!!!!

It must be getting close!  We got our map/brochure from GKTW today!  Sifting through the mail: bill, bill, bill, EOB, EOB - Kayla got a big envelope, where's that refund check from Duke?  Wait.  Kayla got a big envelope?  OOHHH!!!!!!

Testing testing, 1, 2, 3...

Chose this one off my phone while testing the email blog post.  Emily is minus her glasses, but Kayla is alert and happy after a long nap.  Yay Princesses!

Planning and data-mining

I've been hanging out on DISboards.com where there is a thread (several actually) dedicated to MAW trips.  Many helpful tips there and good info about Give Kids the World Village.  The various trip reports there have been even more informative.  Things like the fact that GKTW is a gated resort and the guard shack is not staffed 24/7.  Nice tidbit to know, and I'll be sure not to get the van stuck between the gates.  And I will not leave home without my Bunny Book.  Can I get that in PDF for my phone and nook?

Bummer!

Checked the Disney website for park hours, maps, etc.  On the schedule for Magic Kingdom it states that "It's a Small World" will be closed for refurbishment!  That's the iconic ride I remember best from my visit as a 12 year old!  I won't get to share that one with the kids I guess.  Oh well, I suppose we'll just have to make new memories instead of boring everyone with my old ones.

Disney park schedule for September 2010

Wow, things are moving now!

A couple of quick emails and we now have some answers.  Ain't technology grand?

We have a non-stop flight leaving at 0935 so we'll still have the afternoon to explore GKTW.  We get to ride in a limo to the airport and back - that'll be fun.  Kayla's wheelchair will be in a separate vehicle following along, and I think we can put the luggage in there too.  Limos weren't built for cargo!

July's been a tad busier.

So we've had a little action on the MAW front.  We now know that we need an FAA Certified car seat for Kayla and we've worked out a temporary exchange with Melanie for one of Marina's.  We have provided the dimensions of Kayla's chair, presumably for van rental purposes.  And we've done the paperwork for the van rental.

It's been a while...

Been out a while, I know.  Surgery went well, Kayla recovered nicely, everything is hunky-dory.  Her last day of school is tomorrow and then it's a summer of Max's House.
