GOOD MORNING, WE ARE GETTING READY TO LEAVE FOR FLORIDA TOMORROW MORNING. AFTER BOWLING TONITE WE DRIVE TO BUFFALO AND STAY OVER TO CATCH FLIGHT TO FORT LAUDERDALE IN THE MORNING. 4 DAYS THERE THEN 7 DAYS ON THE SOLSTICE AND 4 MORE DAYS AT OKW. AMAZING HOW STRESSFUL PACKING CAN BE

Ian, Have you guys picked a place to eat at yet?

The stress will soon be replaced by tropical waters and the warmth of Florida. Enjoy your trip and good luck bowling tonight!

Southwest opened their booking date thru September 30th if anyone was going to fly on southwest. The fares are as low as they will ever be today. I haven't seen a ding fare for Orlando in a couple of years!

 

[DizDragonfly]

Seriously, do you suppose it would be okay for us to continue as normal and hope that nothing happens? Then alter the plan if something does.

I wouldn't worry about it unless you have cause to. Many girls never have issues at all (I would guess the majority of them, but I'm not a doctor).

My original plan was to book our flights today. But, now I'm waiting for our RR free flights from our new Southwest cards. Hope it comes through soon!!

I think that fares could be lower for September the end of March through mid April. SW usually has a price promotion for fall travel. That having been said by booking now on SW if the price drops you can get a credit to use on future flight and we all know that there will be future flights to WDW.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to keep an eye out. Did they do that last year? I was watching for lower fares last year but they never went lower than the first day they released them. Unless I totally missed it. Which could totally be possible.

Our round trip airfare is $164 + taxes & 9/11 fees (each). Our kids' round trip airfare is $217 + taxes & 9/11 fees (each). They're flying home with relatives on 9/18. Hopefully theirs will go down during a March/April promotion, but I doubt ours will.

I hope you have a great trip!!! Too bad it's not as easy as packing for a cruise....1 pair of swim trunks, 1 pair of pants, 1 tropical shirt, 1 pirate costume, 1 pair of shoes. DONE.

Hi Debbie [Luckymomoftwo]-I was going through my CDs and found yours from last years FE. Chuck was in his office doing taxes, it's that time again, and I put it on for him. Honestly I could see the stress level drop especially when he started singing!!
Just wanted to say thanks sort of-you see Chuck 's singing could empty out a room. Good thing there were no clients with him.

Vicki

Vicki - I'm glad the CD helped lower Chuck's stress level. But I'm sorry you had to listen to him sing!

Good afternoon everyone!!

At home today with Lilly. She has some sort of bladder infection and doctor said I need to get a nebulizer. My poor baby is in so much pain. Feel really bad for her. She just keeps saying, "I want to go to Downtown Disney!" Have no idea where she is getting this. She must really love that place. Oh well. Hope everyone is doing well this fine Monday morning.

I hope Lilly is all better now!

Hope Lilly is feeling better. It's so tough for little ones when they are not feeling well.
We spent last night in the ER with our DD, except Katie is our 25 year old. This is our Disney Bride. She had a reaction to medicine she was taking for sinus and ear infections. She got a rash that was spreading from her feet up to her neck and face. Her legs were so inflamed it was scary. SHe has always been very sensitive to certain things. Anyway an IV and benedrl and steroids I think we may have it under control now.

I hope Katie is feeling much better and it's all under control and it doesn't come back! What a scare that must have been!!!!

My original plan was to book our flights today. But, now I'm waiting for our RR free flights from our new Southwest cards. Hope it comes through soon!!

OOOHHH!!!!! Congrats on the Southwest card & the free flights!!! I didn't even try to apply for the card...we've got a few cards maxed out right now that we're trying to pay off, so our scores probably aren't to their liking! That's ok, though....we pay our bills on time so as long as we get those cards paid off, we'll have A+ credit!!

So the Lombardi trophy is going back to Green Bay. Well done Packers, well done. I'm sure that many folks will be happy about that!

Dan, It was a great game and well played. It is awesome to see the trophy back home!

 

[Truffle]

Seriously, do you suppose it would be okay for us to continue as normal and hope that nothing happens? Then alter the plan if something does. We sometimes buy a Cranberry mixed juice, and she has no problems drinking it.

That was never a problem with our DDs. As I recall, they had a mix of showers, regular baths, and bubble baths. As with adults, a thorough rinse afterwards is a good thing! Soap residue of any kind can cause itching and other issues...

Those are great fares and may not go down. Ours are $165 each way so round trip for the two of us is $699.90. I will book them and then hope for the $99 each way fare and get a credit for our next trip.

Thanks Karen & Dan,

I was just about to impliment a no bath/shower policy ... Just kidding.

Worry less, enjoy more (unless something crops up) sounds like the best policy for now. Thanks guys.

 

[mlholster]

Oh Lynn, that just stinks. Hope she is doing better. I am always afraid of reactions to meds and mixing meds when so many different things are wrong with you. Good luck.

Thanks Kelly. How is Lilly today? I hope she is back to normal!

John, My 2 DDs never had a problem. I agree with Dan, a good rinsing is key.

Thanks Debbie, Katie is much better. We were told to watch a rash that moved up to the neck and face, this rash started by her feet. She has been allergic to Penicillin since she was a baby. Now we add another medication to that allergy list.

 

[SandyPA]

Southwest came through for us. I looked at 9:00am this morning and it was $135.00 each way for us. looked again at 10pm and it was down to $95.00 each way. We are booked for our flights. I hope everyone else has good luck with great prices.

Oh no...poor Lilly!!

I hope she is feeling better very soon. That does not sound good.

Does she also have a bad cold, cough, flu ??? in addition to a bladder infection? That is just terrible.

For Lilly Tell her I want to be in Downtown Disney too!!
