So, what comes into your brain when I say Disney World???  Castle, princesses, Florida, long plane rides…..all of the above?  Yes we will be doing all of those.  And more.  I am not exactly sure everything that we will be doing on the trip right now, but here is what I know.

First, we will be flying to Orlando on an airplane.  Don’t know the airline, the time or anything else yet.  That is OK, the trip will be in June.  From the airport, we will be driving via rental car, to the Give Kids The World village.

Now, Give Kids the World Village is a wonderful place.  It is set up to help grant wishes for kids, and give them a place to stay in Florida.  It is about 10 miles from Disney World.  It has basically a small city that gives us a place similar to a condo, with a kitchen and washer and dryer.  They have Ice cream for breakfast.  They have every holiday during every week.  Disney characters show up as well.  This place is simply awesome.

During our trip we are going to be spending a bunch of time in Disney World.  We plan on hitting all 5 lands during the 6 days.  Amelia will get special treatment the whole time!  She gets to do something that hasn’t been done before, she will be made up by Disney World as Rapunzel and she will lead the parade through the park!  That was her first wish that the Make-A-Wish people didn’t think could happen.  But it did.

We are also going to hit the beach.  The kids are looking forward to getting swept off of their feet by he waves again, this time in the Atlantic!  maybe we will head over to the other side and hit the gulf of Mexico as well….probably not.

Sometime during this trip we are also going to spend a day up at Universal Studios to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.  Leatha and Cameron are especially looking forward to this one.  They want to go to Hogwarts for real.

So, that is a thumbnail of our trip.  I am planning on taking tons of pictures, as well as video and posting them on this site.   If you are signed up on the email list (look over in the sidebar there—>) you will get the updates the very next morning right in your email.  Or, you can just check back every day.  Or more often.  I am not promising anything now, but there may even be podcasts…. But mostly video and pictures.  And updates!  Good grief I can’t forget the updates.

I am glad there is wifi at Give the Kids the World so that I can upload all of this and share with everyone who is reading this.  Check out our new picture page if you haven’t and let us know you were here in the guestbook!  We make sure Amelia reads all of the comments from you lovely people who visit.  We all appreciate your support!

So, until the next time that we have an update, We’re coming to you live from Utah, 1019 days into the new kidney and 1764 days from the beginning of this all,

-Justin
