It makes me sad because it's my favorite resort and I really REALLY want to stay there for my 40's birthday this March. But I just can't get a decent rate!!!! 
Can't wait to get out of the FREEZING weather we have here in Indiana!!!

My resort board thought of the night... why is it so hard to stay at the Poly these days??? I feel like every time I check availability it's either sold out, or no AP discount, or the discount is tiny.
One week from right now I'll be at the BWI!!!!
. Will pack tomorrow. I'd like to leave early ish on Tuesday as we not know Tampa like we do Orlando. Anyone have any suggestions or things to do there on NY afternoon while we wait for the Outback Bowl to finish?
One week from now I'll be back home! So much to do, on laundry load number 5 for today. Put Amy on a bus yesterday morning for Tampa, they're having a blast. She said today's Busch Gardens day was the best day ever for her
TigrLvsPooh said:We went to the Outback Bowl once, when Purdue was in it, I can't remember seeing anything exciting around there. I will ask DH.
A lot has happened since I was last here on the DIS... I managed to BREAK MY TOE on New Year's Day! Isn't that just all the luck?? I finally felt 100% back to normal from my car accident and now this. Is there some stronger force at work trying to keep me from my WDW trip???? 
So now I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to try to walk, get a wheelchair, a scooter, or what??? The pain is a little better today... I'm walking on a cane and getting around OK. Luckily I've got 3 days to pack so I'm taking it slow. Anyone have any advice or information about renting wheelchairs??? Also, do I qualify for boarding the plane early? Not that I'm trying to take advantage but it would be nice to get seated up front where I have more room for my stylish velcro boot! 
So much for the pedicure I was supposed to get tomorrow. 
Hey guys!
I broke my foot 2 weeks before Disney 
I rented a wheelchair from Walker Mobility...price was great and they deliver and pick up from the resort...also the Epcot resort area...PERFECT for wheelchairs...IMHO. My hubs had to push me around, which was a negative...but I figured a scooter would be way to dangerous...the CMs were great helping with the chair getting on and off the rides..
You'll still have a great trip. Please don't try to do the trip without a chair..you'll need it 
Oh Erika
What is the protocol for wheelchairs on the buses? Can I walk on and just fold the chair up like a stroller? Do they fold easily?
I agree, the thought of a scooter frightens me to death!
The boat to DHS is a roll on so that would've be easy peasy...I stood, so a very pregnant woman with a little one could sit though. The boat was packed...then I went in the chair once we got off the boat 
They fold in half, we carried it on...yup just like a stroller. The driver offered to help and let me stay in the chair, but I declined. We did EMH to MK, and even with the full bus, no problems
I definitely don't want to sit in a chair and be rolled on and off the bus, I'm not in that bad of shape. Mainly I just can't bend my toes so I'm walking with my foot sort of off to the side. I might try to do some walking later in the week once I'm feeling better. I hate to be a burden to my family but I also don't want to make myself feel worse. Maybe a few grey goose slushies and I won't notice the pain!

I saw the x-ray on Twitter...how the heck did you do that????
Grey goose slushies will definitely help

As soon as I hit it I knew it was broken. It made a horrible snap!! 
Don't rain on my parade people!!!!! 
Walking full speed through a dark hotel room that happened to have a table in my way!!!
Does anyone else have to deal with friends and/or family members who are anti-WDW? I swear I don't even tell people anymore when we are about to go because I don't want to hear them start in "OOoohhhh you're going back again already?????? Weren't you just there like last week??? HA HA!" Oh yes you are so funny and original I've never heard that joke before.
Now back to packing
Hey guys!
I did rent a wheelchair and used it for about 3 days before finally having all I could take of being pushed around. My kids loved pushing me at first, they practically fought each other over taking turns, then once the fun wore off it became a nightmare. Nobody wanted to push me, so they'd either go way too fast or too slow. I was in a panic the whole time they were going to ram my foot into something. Finally I decided to cut my bandages off a few days early and just walk on my own. It was painful, but better than being pushed. Don't ask me about all the "FUN" I had when DH and the kids decided it would be cool to let me free-fall down the ramp to the Jungle Cruise!!! 
I literally screamed like a person being stabbed. LOL
Oh goodness Erika
Here's my trip report: http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3040784
It was kind of lame this time because pretty much all my time down was spent writhing in pain.
DH has a conference out east he needs to attend and we just couldn't make it work. Of course it being Easter week was insane already, room rates were so high, and I'm a spoiled baby when it comes to the deluxe resorts, so we made the executive decision to just do May instead. The kids last day of school is May 24th so we will go that following week. It hits memorial weekend but at least I can get decent AP rates. In fact a room at the YC in May was LESS than what we were paging for CSR in March!!! Crazy
