10 Mths of WDW Planning leads us to~~DISNEYLAND!! Report Completed~Pic Heavy!!!

[lsulindy]

It's a hard situation....I really hope, as a family, you'll be able to talk him into some sort of "help". What time of year are you going??? Disneyland doesn't have a whole lot of "down" time anymore.....so crowds, pushing is a HUGE factor in planning. Now I'm nervous for him!!!

Fantasyland I think brings out the child in all of us. Walt knew what he was doing!!

Talked to my mom this weekend. As soon as I brought it up, she said "Dad told me to tell you that he'll be fine!" I've only brought it up once with him, but I guess he can tell I'm worried. Or he follows me on the DIS! She did say that he said he won't use a cane b/c he can't grip with his left hand and if he's holding a cane with his right hand, then he can't use it help with his balance, or open doors, or anything else.

I will leave you with the favorite picture of Michayla and Tinkerbell. A truly special moment!!

I don't blame you for being nervous......hopefully things will be fine and he'll surprise you and how well he does!!

I agree!!

Just had to share the good news~~The twins got accepted to Camp Attitude again this summer!!!! This is a camp for special needs kids and free for the families. The kids are 'able to experience things that normally isn't possible for a lot of these kids. We went for our first time last summer and our kids got to play Laser Tag, ride horses, go up in a tethered hot air balloon, go fishing, ride in a speed boat, go tubing and ride a Jet Ski plus make new friends, sing, do crafts and participate in a talent show. IT'S AMAZING!!!!!!! So we'll be going back July 14-19 and 2 of the DIS Diva's that went to camp last summer are also going to be there the same week!!! YAY!!!

Between Michayla's open heart surgery and this camp, we've really seen a huge change~~like she "came to life". We saw that same sparkle on this trip......so looking forward to going in July!!!

The horse they use at this camp used to be the horse on Dr Quinn Medicine Woman. Very well trained and is so gentle with these kids!!

Hooray that camp sounds amazing for them! Beautiful pic of Michayla and Tinkerbell!

It really is!! They have people that come from all over the place to be a part of it. Feel very blessed to be included!!

YAY!! Glad they got accepted to camp. I remember the pics from last year. Looks like a good time

It was fun.....the smiles were never ending!!

Awww!!! Great clear photos!

Yes those look like great therapy horses thanks for sharing! I like the saddle attachment, that would give the kids a nice sense of security

The camp has a real nice set up for assisting the riders. They have nice ramp for that puts them right at saddle level. If the child is too small or needs more assistance than the saddle attachment can give.....the camper's "buddy" will get on first and then put the child in front of them to hold on to. They always have at least 2 adults and 1 or 2 high school age kids walking beside. Really neat!!! Of course, Michayla kept rocking as if she wanted to be going faster!!

 

[kaoden39]

So I just realized I don't have any more of the pictures organized and renumbered!! So there is going to be a delay in the report writing while I deal with that. It's a daunting task and that's probably why I hadn't finished it yet......lol

I did get my Photopass CD yesterday......too bad it doesn't let me see or download my last 27 pictures. Waiting to hear back from them on what to do about this issue. It kept freezing up my computer. It won't open the pics and it won't let you "import" them either.

I will leave you with the favorite picture of Michayla and Tinkerbell. A truly special moment!!

What an amazing photo!! That is the type of photo that they use for those aw moments they use in their ads.


That's great news about the camp. How wonderful that you have friends who's families will be there at the same time.

I was so happy to see that on our photopass CD. Ty and I were standing behind the stroller watching the interaction but had no idea her face was that lit up and zoned in on Tink!!!

We're excited to be going back and having Becci & Cynthia (both from around your area by the way) coming the same week is just icing on the cake!!!

Thursday, December 13~~Day 4 in the parks!!!

Today started at Minnie & Friends for breakfast. We checked in, had our picture taken on the porch, went inside to pay the cashier and then were seated inside the restaurant. We've only been inside once out of the many times we've eaten there.....that was to the left when you enter and this time we were going to the right!!

We barely made it to our table before Brer Fox was visiting us!!

Chip showed up while Brer Fox was still there.

Not quite sure how Shy felt about the toothsome fox?!

Michayla wasn't too interested in the characters but loved her balloon! (or maybe it was the balloon weight.....lol)

Shy liked hers too!

Next up was Dale!!

I like this picture for some reason....even if it does cut off faces.........

More characters and some food porn coming up next!

 

[DizNee Luver]

Chip came back to see the family.

Chip tried to play with Michayla.

Playing with someone outside the window.....lol

The kids........

Captain Hook was next!

FOOD PORN:

Eeyore will be next plus a new character for our family!!!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

Eeyore was next to stop by the table.

Characters were coming in a steady flow, so taking turns to go get food was random.....so here's another pic of food.

Our gracious hostess Minnie stopped to check on us.

So here was the new character for us~~Suzy!!! One of Cinderella's mouse friends!!!

More of Suzy next post!

 

[DizNee Luver]

It's Suzy!!!! Hooray!!!

Michayla just wasn't sure what to think.....

But then Minnie came by.....

Dale stopped by again to say hi.

Still more of the Minnie & Friends breakfast to come!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

The decor in the Plaza Inn Restaurant is full of details......beautiful if you get a chance to look around and enjoy it.

The Christmas Tree in the restaurant.

Oh boy.....Tigger is in the house!

Dale stopped by for another visit!

One more post to go!

 

[DizNee Luver]

So the characters slowed down long enough for Mike to get some pictures from the buffet area.

The kids......

Eeyore!

Minnie!!

Tigger Time!!!!

Fun meal with lots of characters. We saw Pooh and Fairy Godmother too, but they never made it to our table during our meal (and we never rush at these meals).
