    Mask options

    Thank you all so much for the suggestions. I will look for the "cage" versions. I think that will help with the feeling of suffocation. Since we just decided this weekend to go, I will talk to the school about trying some out on him. He has out patient OT and in school OT. I will talk to both.

    Any disadvantages to using a travel agent to book a cruise?

    There is no disadvantage. I absolutely love our TA and I use to do all of my own bookings for years. She is fast and very responsive. She goes above and beyond to make sure we get our requests (within reason).

They were leaving and were not going to be able to use them. I'm trying to understand what a "single attraction Pass Plus" and "single...

    Nothing will ruin a great day at Disney like....

    My daughter lost her brand new glasses on Rock'n Rollercoaster. My middle child was having a meltdown and I was so caught up in dealing her that I didn't notice my oldest still had her glasses on before the ride. Unfortunately they were never found and she spent the rest of the trip unable to...

    Lunch question

    I haven't cruised without children since 2003. Our other two cruises included 2-4 kids so we did only buffets for breakfast and dinner. We are planning a short cruise for my 40th birthday. We have decided not to take the kids. Sadly, I'm super excited about experiencing cruising without kids...

    We usually go 1-2 times a year. Last year I managed to go 4 times in 15 months. That is highly unusual. We went down for 2 marathons, Disney Cruise, and a birthday surprise. I am headed down in a few weeks for the Princess half marathon without kids. :banana: WOO HOO!!! Now that the girls are in...

    A bit nervous about plane ride

    WOW!!! I just sat down for the evening to check the boards to see if anyone replied to my question. You guys are awesome. I will talk to the attendants at the gate. I figured we would just get on with the parents with small kids. Being able to get on earlier would help so much more. I hope they...

    Who gets emotional at MK??

    My dd (12) is autistic. Language is difficult for her. When we are in MK at the end of the night and the Wishes song comes on, she sings it at the top of her lungs. It is the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. She brings me to tears every time she sings along. In fact, just the thought of...
