Stitch is Troubled; He needs dessert!!- TR with photos (and light and food porn!)

[Belle_princess]

Thanks, Heaven! If nothing else, I guess I'll bring tons of ibuprofen!!!!

I should be able to get an update up tomorrow between my appointments!

See you then!

 

[vdarrell]

Ok. . . Why now??

For the last four days, I've been dealing with severe back pain. I have no idea how I got it. It just started Sunday morning. I thought I just slept on it wrong! Thinking it would simply go away, I waited. I waited. . . .and . . . .waited. . . and. . . .waited. It hasn't gone away.

I've found 3 ibubrofen help immensely! Now, I'm, at least, functional. I've been at work, but I'm moving at about quarter speed when I walk around!

My biggest fear: I leave in 3 weeks. What if I can't ride the rides at WDW? No, no! I can't be injured 3 weeks before the trip.

When my back wasn't getting better, Stitch gave me the number for a back doctor that was recommended to him (He has scoliosis). I called him today, and they can get me in tomorrow. (I also have a dentist appointment tomorrow). I'm taking a sick day and going to both! We will see what the doctor says!! Keep me in your prayers!

I can't believe we are 20 days out! Tomorrow starts the teens countdown!!

Kristin

Oh no, I am sending you the same pixie dust you sent me when I was laid up.
Please let us now what the doctor says tomorrow hopefully it is just something simple. Good luck with both the doctor and the dentist.
20 days that is so awesome I have 33 more days for me.

HUGS

Ok, I've been planning my trip for a little while. I've been taking notes in a spiral that is just red, but I'm keeping my travel papers, ME luggage tags, MVMCP tickets, etc in this cool planner.

Then, on Tuesday, I stopped by the 99cents store with a friend. I found these great princess pens that were 3 for 99 cents. So I went the register (all the while my friend is chanting "sick, sick, sick" at me! What does she know about Disney love??) When I was checking out, the clerk saw I had a "I voted" on, so she gave me a free beach ball and a dollar off my purchase!!! All I had to do was pay 8 cents (the tax) for my pens! Cool!

Last, but not least is my Lime Green Mickey Head that will be on my camera bag that is going in the park with me everyday! I had to make mine just a little different!

That's all I have to add now! I'm so excited to leave! Only 19 more days! Now, I just have to see what the doctor has to say about my back! My appointment is in a little over an hour! I'll be later to tell you what he said!

 

[Belle_princess]

Ok, the doctor said it is just a little arthritis in my back. He said that my trip to WDW is cool- just don't do anything that hurts! Well, duh!!

He gave me some anti-inflamitory meds and some meds for muscle spasms. He wants me to do physical therapy. Oh well. The price is terrible- especially this close to Disney. Oh well.

The trip is still on and so are all the rides!

Loved your pens and the Mickey Head.
Hope your back feels better for your trip.
19 more days

Kristen:

I hope you back gets better! I love the planner. Okay, so now I really feel like I am falling behind. I have not made a planner but a manilla envelope with everything in it. Boy, I have the work to do this weekend! Where did the time go!

[vdarrell]

How's the back doing today?

I liked the way you organized your Disney Trip, and my family and friends thought I was the only one you did that for vacations they haven't been on the Dis

 

[Belle_princess]

Ok, my ADRs and my itinerary have changed again! Here we go:

I called Disney Dining this morning and got an ADR at LeCellier for Saturday, November 29. Then I realized that was not the day we planed to be at EPCOT! Oops! Well, when I called back, they didn't have an opening on the days I will be at EPCOT. Ok, what to do. I figured out I can change parks and do some park hopping and still be fine- just not have quite as much time at the parks! Oh well! Here is my new itinerary:

Nov. 25- arrive and check in (later in the evening) Probably just explore the resort and rest.

Nov. 26- Magic Kingdom- 4:55 Liberty Tree!

Nov. 27 (t-Day)- Animal Kingdom, 5:20 Kona, and then Downtown Disney

Nov. 28- Hollywood Studios, then hop to EPCOT for 5:15 Marakesh and 8:15 Candlelight

Nov. 29- EPCOT LeCelliar at 11:55, then head to AKL for 4:20 at Boma. (I'm a little worried about two meals so close together! Oh well!) Then over to Hollywood Studios for Fantasmic and Osborne Lights

Nov. 30- Maybe EPCOT for photography or Downtown Disney (after sleeping in!) 2pm Raglan Road and then MK for MVMCP!!!!!

Dec. 1- Do What we want and then go home

Not too much has changed, but I think that will work in our favor. Hopefully, that will still give us time to get to everything in EPCOT and especially Hollywood Studios!

There isn't too much news besides the change and I finally got my ADR at LeCellier!! I just hope we will be hungry for Boma later!

Great Trip report. Love your santa mickey head. It is too cute. Score on the pins.

Glad to hear your back is getting better.

I second Lady Laille on doing Carousel Of Progress.

I'll be at WDW almost the same time as you. I am still debating the MVMCP. I went 2 years ago and loved it. I'll most likely buy a ticket once I get down there.

Just over 2 weeks

 

[vdarrell]

Just a matter of weeks.

Your new plans look good.

Is the back better today??

 

[Belle_princess]

Thank you all for such nice comments!

My back is doing so much better! I think I should be more than ready to go when the time comes!

Alice, where are you staying when you go? Will we be in the same place at any time?? I'd love to meet you- just look out for my Mickey Head on a red backpack!

I'll talk to you all soon! Only 17 more days- I can hardly believe it!

 

[Lady Lallie]

You are so close!

Much to my husband's dismay I have had the Carousel of Progress song stuck in my head all day. I think I do a mighty fine rendition.

 

[jeremysdisneymom]

Kristen,

, you got the LeCellier reservation! I just noticed that we will be at LTT around the same time. I changed my reservation yesterday to 11/26 at 4:20. We will have to meet up there.

Alice, where are you staying when you go? Will we be in the same place at any time?? I'd love to meet you- just look out for my Mickey Head on a red backpack!

I am staying at POP Century. We have a few things close to the same. I'll be at MK 11/26 right now I have an ADR at LTT at 2:00. I was going to go to Tonys but I just changed it today. I'll be at EPCOT on Saturday and possible MVMCP on Sunday. I'm doing DHS on Thanksgiving. I wanted Brown Derby for my meal that day since they do both Thanksgiving meal and regular menu so I can choose which I want more on the day.

I'll keep on eye out for you. I'll have a mickey head too.

Glad to hear your back is getting better

 

[Belle_princess]

My AK list is pretty short. Oh well:

Rides:
Kilimanjaro Safari
Kali River Rapids (if it isn't too cold!)
Expedition Everest- probably ride this more than once!! I'm so excited!
Dinosaur- I think Stitch will get a kick out of me being scared.

Others:
Tough to be a Bug
Discovery Island Trails
Festival of the Lion King
Pangani Forest Trails
Maharajah Jungle Trek

That's really about it- no specific shops to visit and no eating place we have ADRs to or have to visit. We will just wing it!

 

[john398]

My AK list is pretty short. Oh well:

Rides:

Kali River Rapids (if it isn't too cold!)

Do you know does AK have a setting where you get less wet in the winter like the river ride at California Adventure?

 

[Belle_princess]

Ok, I've done all the park lists. Now, it is time for all the other lists! Here we go!!!

Downtown Disney

Goofy's Candy Shop- I am so looking forward to this one! Everyone who has shared their creations make them all look so good! I'm up for pretzel rods!!!

Basin- I think I will buy a bath bomb just to use back at the resort! How nice and relaxing would that be? (Our bathroom at home is old, so no matter how hard we scrub the tub, it doesn't look very clean. Even when I know it is, I won't take a bath!)

Disney's Days of Christmas- This is a MUST DO! I have to bring back an ornament for my God Daughter since this Christmas will be her first! I also need some magic to put on my tree to remember this awesome trip!!!!

Disney Pin Traders- I'll admit: I'm addicted to pins! I loved them in 2002 when I last went, and I'm anxious to buy some more!!!

EuroSpain- Isn't this where that multi-thousand dollar crysal castle is? I just want a photo of it!!

Mickey's Mart- Disney under $10?? Sign me up!

Once Upon a Toy- just 'cause!

World of Disney- isn't this a MUST DO on everyone's list??? I LOVE this store! Can't wait! My wallet will probably run and hide!!!!!

That's it for Downtown. We might stop at Planet Hollywood or look at things on the other side, but I prefer the Marketplace better!

These are the same stores I will be going into.
The bath bomb sounds wonderful.
Definetly stop in and get my Mr. Potato parts in a box
