1 Queen, 3 princesses and a reluctant King planning to go to Disney

Well,

Sometimes, I feel like I am on a complete rollercoaster.

This week I received a letter in the mail from my daughter's Orthodonist. Apparently they had billed me incorrectly... IN MY FAVOR. I owe about 1500 LESS than I orginally thought! OMG 1500 is a lot. I am now applying that payment to Disney...

I love love love Magic!

:wizard:

See... there ya go. :thumbsup2
 
Sounds like this is going to be a great trip for you and your family! I cannot wait to read along. :goodvibes
 
I am enjoying your PTR so much! I too am a mom of 3 princesses, and so much of the joy of Disney is seeing the pleasure your children get out of it. I hope your trip works out and you all have a wonderful time. Is your DH described as reluctant because you're not sure if he'll enjoy the trip?
 

Love your PTR. Can't wait to hear more. Can you tell us about the custom dresses? And yay for the billing error-in your favor!

THank you everyone!!

Yes DH is reluctant cause he thinks that Disney is a waste of money...LOL.. He just cannot comprehend how going to a place where people dress up like cartoon characters could possibly be entertaining!! He is going to be very very surprised!!

The dresses are smashing!! I should be receiving them in the mail in just a few days. I will be sure to post some pictures as well!
 
June 2nd will be 180 days from our trip. It is my intention to send the TA our reservation choices this Friday... Although, I have to admit, that I have had them picked out Since MARCH... hee hee.

PH has evolved from Tinkerbell love into Nightmare before Christmas Now. I am now referred to as : Mommy Jack and course King T is now Daddy Jack. Her sisters also bear the 'Jack' prefix.

About 4 weeks ago something horrible happened. I hesitate to say much, but it involved one of my lovely children. It is funny, how you can think, as a mother that you are protecting your children from all types of crazy things, only to find out, that you really have no idea. I am very close to my children.... but this time, I was blindsided.

My oldest daughter, my straight A student, my easy to get along with and super responsible child has been hurting herself. There is nothing like seeing those scars and cuts on your child's perfect beautiful and amazing skin. I wanted to die, to cry, to scream. She is being treated now though. Mommy knows now and we are getting her help. I had no idea that my happy child... was not happy. That she was depressed and felt so helpless and anxious that her only release was to cut and burn herself. Sigh..

I know it is a downer on a trip report, but it is one that is part of my trip. It is a reminder to hug your babies, cuddle them, tell them you love them and not take for granted that you know (or think you know) all that is going on in their lives, or even how they are handling it.

This month alone I have spent 6oo.oo on Therapy and co-pays for my baby. And I will continue until she is better, until I can stand outside the bathroom door while she is taking a shower and not shake from fear. Till I know that when she feels the need to hurt herself, that she will realize that she is more magic to me..... than a whole world of pixie dust....

to be continued....

Oh my gosh, I can't imagine what you and your family are going through. My baby is only two (going on twelve LOL) and I know I'm definitely going to give her a big hug as soon as I get off work! Hopefully talking to someone will help your daughter. A little Disney magic won't hurt either!

Thank you JamieSmith. Yes, give that wee one a huge hug, they grow way too fast. I also agree that we all need a little of that Disney magic right now.
 
I am so sorry that your family is gong through this! It can not be an easy thing.

Big hugs to you all... :hug:
 
Thank you for the hugs and thoughts. PA is doing better and everyday is a victory, I think all is going to be alright!

Sent in my dining Ressies to the TA! So very excited about Disney!

We leave for Vancouver in about 3 weeks, so that is a nice little 'break' before a few more months till Disney Magic!
 
Hi! I'm joining in. Glad to hear your DD is getting help and feeling better. (((HUGS))) to you!
 
Thank you again Everyone.
Just an update .....
PA had a difficult time last night, her father (she lives with me) found about her treatment cause the insurance company sent him a receipt about her treatment. Due to the sensitivity and seriousness of the situation, it was recommended that he not find out until she was ready. Unfortunately, that didnt work out. Please God don't let us take too many steps back from this.

On a happy note. Little Brother upgraded his room at the Poly to a Theme Park view room... AND!!!!!! Upgraded and paid for my family to also be in one!! I just could NOT believe it!! I am staying in a Theme park room! That is awesome!! and my baby brother paid for it. :banana::banana::banana:

So I have not undated since JUNE and so much has happened.

Nov 1st is the last day to pay for our trip to Disney!

What started off as a magic email has turned into something truly epic. What will we celebrate this year? Everything! Life, Happiness, Family, EVERYTHING.

I have extended our vacation till Dec 30th! Can you believe it Dec 30th! That is 2 full weeks of magic!! but we are not going to be at Disney for the whole time, so I will break it down. I am so excited. I can't believe it, I really cannot believe it. The past few years have been so tough, and this year has been emotional as well. BUT, we are coming around.

So let me run it down.
We are leaving at midnight on Thursday and traveling by Amtrak to Orlando.
Enterprise will pick us up with our 2 week car rental.

We will check in at the Polynesian in a Theme park view room. (YEAH!!!!)

That night we have reservations at The Wave for dinner. Of course, my little bro and his family will be arriving about 4 from the airport.

ON Sat we have dinner at Park Fare 1900

When we come back to the room, there will be a cake and balloons, and banner and stuffed animals and TINKERBELL and pixie dust..... MAGIC DUST! waiting for us! My children are going to be so surprised!

On Sunday We will eat Lunch at the Crystal Palace and attend Mickey Very merry Christmas Party!!!

Monday we are eating breakfast at Akershus with the Princesses and Dinner at the Garden Grill Rest. so that we will be sticking around to see Illuminations!

Tuesday will be dining with Cinderella at the Royal Table! That evening we are headed to HS to see Osbourne Lights .

On Wed we will be escorting PH to her Mad Hatter's Tea Party at the GF in the afternoon. That evening PH will be going to the Neverland Club while we go to eat Dinner at Ohanas!

Thursday morning we will be eating at Ohanas again with LiLo and stitch in the morning.

Friday we will be checking out and having a nice breakfast at Kona Cafe.!

We will drive 1 mile to our rented for a week, Disney themed decorated Condo at Windsor Hills. There we will take our PUBLIX gift cards that we got from Bank CC points and buy Groceries for the week.

On the 24th, after a day of relaxing, we will take a sleigh ride through Fort Wilderness. And a Pony Ride for PH.

Christmas we will open a few little gifts and do a little swimming and relaxing!

ON Monday we will be headed to Downtown Disney to eat at the T-Rex Rest. We will be leaving PT and PA in DD to enjoy a fun night at Disney Quest!

On Tuesday we will be attending the Medieval Dinner show! OH YES!! Upgraded front row center!

On Wed, we have some great friends coming in from DC that will be at Disney that week. We have worked it out that we will still have one pass each left at Disney! So one more day at Disney will awesome good friends... Hmmm Where to eat???

On Thursday we will pack up and chill and perhaps have Dinner with our friends, getting ready for our departure on Friday.

On Friday, after dropping off our rental car, we will catch our train and head back home.

PH now has a Anastasia Dress, Cinderella Dress and Snow White Dress to wear to Disney. She has a Pirate outfit as well as a Princess Med. dress to wear to the Dinner Show. She also has a Dress to wear to the Christmas Party as well.

As soon as I get those pictures, I will post them here.

Can you believe it !! All those years and my babies are going to get to go to Disney.. and NOT just go to Disney.. But REALLY go to DISNEY... Magic Dust. Magic Dust.
 
Also, An update on My Princesses:

Just a month ago PH was snuggling with me getting ready for her sleep when she said.
Mommy, I can't find my Pixie Dust.
ME: You can't find it?
PH: I lost it Mommy
ME: No baby, it is not lost
PH: But I want to fly with Tinker Bell and my dust is gone
ME: Where do you think you lost it baby
PH: I don't know mommy, but you will find it.

Yes.. Mommy will find it.....

PA: is doing better. She has scaled back her therapy sessions and is getting stronger. We added a Belgian Shepherd to our family, and it thinks that PA is its mother.. LOL. PA sleeps much better at night. PA tries to get him to dress like tinkerbell and my ever stable and ever grounded PT just shakes her head in awe.

Magic Dust...
 
Great fun down of you plans! Plus :woohoo: for extending!!!

I love the conversation with PH!!!
