Over Fall Break 2015, we headed to Orlando for Joey's Make a Wish trip. I'm not even sure what all I can say about this trip, other than it was amazing!! We stayed at Give Kids the World, about 20 minutes from all of the parks. We had a 2 bedroom/2 bath condo with a kitchen and laundry, and could have made a full vacation just out of what was offered at the Village. All of our meals onsite were covered - if we didn't want to go to the cafeteria, we could have Papa John's pizza delivered at no cost! The Village offered a pool, putt-putt, a carnival ride, carousel, and huge park. A couple of times each week, horseback riding was offered; there were special events at the pool like a mermaid/shark class, dive-in movies, etc. There was a (nearly) round-the-clock ice cream shop available, and a special party every night - Christmas, birthday celebration, Halloween, etc, etc. Disney and Universal characters came to the Village each day, and the Village also was responsible for setting us up with all of our Disney and other accommodations. We had a three-day park hopper which would get us into the four Disney parks; free parking at all, free stroller, and our "genie pass" which allowed us a permanent Fast Pass to all of the rides. We also had a two-day pass to Universal, and one day at Sea World (parking, strollers, and ride passes also available at these parks). Also included was the photo pass at all parks, and Make a Wish arranged for a meal at Chef Mickey. We were taken to and from the IND airport in a limo, had a brand-new minivan to tool around ORL in (we didn't even have to fill it up with gas at the end!)
We went to EVERY park available, and still had our Friday to just laze around the Village. We had a great time, and I'm not even sure how to do a photo highlight of the many memories we built of the weekend, so I'll just leave it with these two random photos.
