Katie Gets a Wish!

In November of this year, we contacted Make-a-Wish on Katie's behalf and they gladly granted her a wish. A couple of wish granters came to our house to speak with Katie about her wish and without a second thought, she told them exactly what she wished for. She is a happy, healthy five-year-old who believes that she is a princess so what do you think she wished for? Of course, she wish to go to Disney World!

So Make-a-Wish jumped into action and made all the arrangements and Katie is going to Disney World. She will be treated like a princess during her stay at Give Kids the World, "a 70-acre resort complete with over 140 Villa accommodations, entertainment attractions, whimsical venues, and fun specifically designed for children with special needs"(gktw.org). Just 10 miles from Disney World, Sea World, Universal Studios, and the many other attractions in Kissimmee and Orlando, Give Kids the World will be Katie's home base for 7 days while she visits theme parks and has experiences that she has only ever seen on TV and dreamed about. As an added bonus, parents and siblings are expected to tag along and have just as much fun as the wish kid!
We will post pictures, videos, and more blog entries about her wish trip soon.
