The Meeces: Make a Wish Trip

We are home from our MAW trip! It was such an amazing experience. I can't even begin to express our gratitude to all the agencies and volunteers that helped make it such a special trip. Skylar and Savannah had an absolute ball and got treated like princesses all week! We definitely had our challenges that come with traveling with a 2 yr old and a 4 yr old with special needs, but it was so worth all the effort in the end. I am completely fine with not making another Disney trip anytime soon :), but so excited they got to experience all the fun things they got to experience!

The amazing place where we stayed is called Give Kids the World Village. They host Wish children and their families from all over the world and from all kinds of Wish granting agencies. It is by far one of the most special places I have ever been. It is almost completely staffed and run by volunteers. Volunteers that not only give their time, but that are passionate about these special kids and what they go through on a regular basis. Their goal is to help these kids have the best week of their lives- and they really do!

Every morning and evening there were fun events in the Village and visits from Disney/Universal characters. They had horse back riding, a Christmas party, a Halloween party, a Pirates & Princesses party, a salon, and a train and carousel you could ride all day! They also had an ice cream shop where you could have all the ice cream you want all day long. There was a main dining room where we could eat, or we could order food to our Villa delivered by golf cart. So cool! Skylar's favorite part of the trip was probably just walking around the Village and saying Hi to everyone and checking everything out. She did a ton of walking and exploring!
In addition to getting to stay at the Village, we were given tickets to Disney, Universal, and Sea World. And we packed everything in! It was a non stop whirlwind of fun and activities..
Here are some pictures from the Village... Love love this place!!
