Hello!  I just realized today that I had not posted the fact that we are booked for Disney World!  We have our flights and hotel set up, now we just have to get prepared to go.  We are going to be in Florida the first part of June!  We fly out on the 5th and will return home on the 14th.

We added a couple of extra days so that we can do a couple of other things, we don’t know when we will be able to get back to Florida.  The kidsa re getting excited and I am having a hard time keeping the plans small enough to be manageable.  I tend to overdo things.  We are now starting to work on details of what day we are doing what.

We know for sure that one of the days Amelia will be leading the parade.  The day we don’t know yet.  We know that we are going to hit all 4 Disney parks as well as a water park, and a day at Universal Studios so that we can hit Harry Potter World.  There are parades to attend, safaris to ride, Princesses to meet, and turkey legs to devour.  We are just now trying to sketch out an outline of things to do and, more importantly, things to cut out.  We just can’t do it all as much as we would like to.

There will be much more to come as we get dates set and things finalized.   And, in case you didn’t know, I am planning on having an update every day while we are gone.  The best way to keep track of that, besides logging on and looking everyday, will be to sign up for the email list.  Every time something is published on here, an email will be sent out at 9AM Mountain time.

If I have it correctly, I will post something from Florida at about midnight, and if you don’t want to read it then, you can get the email in the morning.  So please sign up for the email list and I will keep you updated.  I won’t even send you anything that doesn’t have to do with Amelia and her wish.  Ok Ok, I won’t sell your information either, I just want everyone to be able to follow our adventure and send Amelia your comments as we go!

Sign up over there in the sidebar….it only takes a minute!  Also note, the video there in the sidebar will change daily during the trip.  You will be able to see all of the videos on You Tube, head over to our Pictures and Videos Page and you can link there.  Each Day will also have a picture page that you can view to your hearts content.

Please direct any questions to us using the comments below or by emailing me directly: justin@ameliasmakeawish.com

Thanks for reading, now that things are getting closer, these will be more frequent!

Hello folks.  I just wanted to check in and let you all know about some new things that Amelia is doing for Make A Wish!  You know I look at these events and have 2 thoughts.  One, these are great things for Amelia!  She will have so much fun!  And Two, She will he helping Make A Wish.  Both are great causes even if I am prejudiced on the Amelia side.

So, this next week will be busy.   There is a new mall opening up in downtown Salt Lake later this month.  As a part of the big celebration of that, Macy’s, the retail chain that does the Thanksgiving day parade, is having a fashion show on Saturday the 17th.  They wanted some Make A Wish kids to be the models for the show, so they called Amelia!  She is such a ham she will be perfect.  She gets to go in on Monday to be fitted for the clothes.

As a part of the grand opening as well, Amelia is going to be featured on TV again!  The local show is called Fresh living.  As of this post being late, here is the video link to the story!Sorry the link is no longer available on the News website….  This is all in preparation for the Grand Opening of Macy’s and they will be having a special sale that benefits charities and they will be having a fashion show!  Amelia gets to walk the catwalk as a model!  I will have some video of that up after the event!

Until then,

Justin
