Hi everyone,
I have a request going out to the WDWMagic community- I'm hoping that someone out here might be able to help me. I am a woman on a mission...
One of my coworker was recently diagnosed with a terminal cancer. She was given only a few months to live. The coworkers and family all chipped in to grant her dying wish of visiting Disney World. So she is currently booked for a trip to WDW, May 17-20 staying at the Grand Floridian.
I am trying to pull strings to add extra magic to her trip. She has said that she would like to eat in the castle (I'm assuming Cinderella's Royal Table) and to be grand marshall of the parade. Nothing like shooting for the stars, right? :animwink:
Well I know just how fast CRT books up and when I called they're completely full with no possibility for exceptions (no surprise there). I know that the food is not the best there (from what I've heard anyway) but that is where she'd like to eat so I was trying to make it happen... I will suggest several of the other fine dining experiences if I am not able to make it happen.
Well I just spent my lunch hour on the phone trying to find out what else we can do to make the trip special. Guest Services was not overly helpful. I spoke with the hotel where she will be staying and I didn't get any help there. I currently have a voicemail waiting with the Compassion Partners Liaison at Give Kids the World- which is the latest place I have been sent...
Here's what I'm trying to do- and hoping you can help me with:
1) If anyone HAS a reservation at CRT between May 17-20 and would be willing to donate it to my coworker- she is traveling with her brother and niece so it is a party of 3. You would be making a Disney wish come true!
2) If anyone knows of ways or has connections so we can create some magic moments for her- I would appreciate the help. I was hoping they might do special things like decorate her room, leave a voicemail from Mickey, stuff like that. I have no idea what to even suggest. But it's not like she's going to wear a button around the parks telling everyone that she's dying. So I'm wondering how we can make connections so that she can have those special moments like someone who is celebrating a birthday or anniversary or other happy occasion.
I am open to suggestions!
Thanks in advance for the help & ideas!! I really appreciate the help and I know that she will as well!
