2014 MP Hopefuls!!!

Sorry to hear what a rough time you are having, Amy. You are right, things happen for a reason. So, you have to get yourself healthy (again) in 2013, in order to join the 2014 Moms Panel! It's already in the plans! :thumbsup2

Take it easy and hope you have a restful, pain free day. :hug:

Thank you! :hug:
 
Good morning everyone! I hope that all of you in the path of the Nor'Easter are safe and warm today. I can't believe that happened so soon after the hurricane. :sad2:

My surgery went OK. I am home, resting in bed. LOVING Lortab right now :thumbsup2

Unfortunately, he couldn't finish the surgery. He found a hole in my uterus. And naturally he told hubby while I was in recovery, hubby didn't ask any questions! So, I have a call in to his office to speak to him today about that. We had discussed the possibility of a hysterectomy before. And I have a strong feeling that is where I am headed. I want to wait until January though, if possible. I don't want to be recovering during the holidays. (sorry if this is TMI!) :thumbsup2

So, I suppose it's probably a good thing that I didn't make the panel this year. :confused3 Someone on here said that everything happens for a reason, and this time I think you are right! :)

I hope you all have a great day! I am already bored, stuck in this bed, So I will be on a lot today. :thumbsup2

So sorry that your surgery didn't go as anticipated. I hope your recovery is quick and whatever lies ahead goes smoothly. Sending get better pixie dust your way! pixiedust:
 
Awww, Amy, sorry to hear you aren't quite done yet.

I just got home from taking my DD to the doctor. She got sent home from school. Turns out she has strep. Oh yippee.

I'm going to try to take tomorrow off, but I may have to go in for a bit. My boss is actually in town this week and I haven't had a lot of time to spend with her. Oh well.
 
We are going to surprise my son with the news on Christmas Eve. Any creative ideas on ways to surprise him would be appreciated!!

We are arriving Dec 25 and ...

This is fun!!
I surprised my then 8 year old son with his first visit to WDW. Told him we were going to Florida to visit the waterparks. Gave him the story that as much as I'd like to take him to Disney it just wasn't in the budget ;)

We were on the shuttle bus from MCO and the bus driver announced "Welcome folks we're now passing through the Walt Disney World sign ahead and it won't be long till we get to the resort."
My son looked at me panicked and said, "Oh no, Mom, we're on the wrong bus!" I smiled and replied, "Oh, no we're not ... we're going to Disney hun."
He was shocked, speechless and there were tears.

May'be you could convice DS you're going somewhere else? To the beach? and spring it on him when you arrive in Orlando? Have fun!

That's a little like what we're doing. We're telling the kids about the cruise out of Galveston in April, but not that it goes to PC (WDW!!!) Figuring they'll assume its the same itinerary as the one we're taking this fall (7 night western out of Galveston). We plan to let them find out when we're checking in on the cruise. I figure they can be surprised and happy about it, still have a couple days to adjust to the idea, but still enjoy the surprise of it.

Oh, and neither has either been to WDW or Castaway Cay, so they should really flip out.


Amy, I'm sorry to hear about your complications, but at least you can get that all squared away without the MP stuff at the same time.
:(
All the same NOT fun. Heal up quickly!

Me too! I'm planning a huge family cruise for February 2014 to celebrate my parents anniversary. There are at least 26 of us to plan for and we have never been on a Disney cruise! I can't wait!

Oh! You'll love it.
 
Amy I am so, so sorry to hear of all you are having to go through and sending prayers and good thoughts your way!!! Let us know how we can help and know that your Team 2014 is here to see you through!!!
 
Glad I'm not the only crazy DISer.
;)
I've been checking DCL website everyday since October 1st. So I'm getting a bit antsy, partially because we're planning "the big one" cruise for January 2014 (our 10th anniversary vacation.)

I know I'll hear about it as soon as the dates are out, if not sooner... but I still can't help but check the site. :rotfl2:

I will just make sure we spend lots of time with her till then. The hardest part will be trying to explain the DS why we are having a fake tree this year without him getting suspicious. He knows I hate artificial trees at my house. I need the smell of spruce and needles everywhere!!

That is a great idea about the suitcase!

DS loves basketball and his favorite team is the
Heat (BOO - we tried to convince him otherwise to no avail). The Heat are playing the magic on NY eve in Orlando, so we were thinking of getting him to open some new trading pins, then a jersey and tickets to the game then see how long it takes him to figure it out. Maybe we should add the suitcase as the final piece in case he doesn't get it? :)

That is awesome!! I can imagine his face as the pieces of the puzzle all come together!!

Good morning everyone! I hope that all of you in the path of the Nor'Easter are safe and warm today. I can't believe that happened so soon after the hurricane. :sad2:

Sorry to hear the surgery was incomplete, but glad to hear you are in good spirits and doing well, otherwise. Hang in there!

Me too! I'm planning a huge family cruise for February 2014 to celebrate my parents anniversary. There are at least 26 of us to plan for and we have never been on a Disney cruise! I can't wait!

26??? Wow. We just cruised on the Dream in August for my parents' 50th!! There were only 16 of us, though!! It was AMAZING!

Please, please, please do a little write up on how you planned for this. We are wanting to do something similar in 2015. 25 confirmed people and another 11 maybes. :scared: Never been on a Disney cruise, so I don't know where I will begin or when for that matter. :scratchin I'm thinking I may need have someone plan this for us.

Sounds so fun! I'm planning a little (relatively speaking) DCL cruise for our 10th.
:thumbsup2
I like doing all the crazy planning stuff, but that could just be me.

Thank you so much! Everyone here is so supportive and uplifting! Just being here and being able to chat about my favorite place on earth is a big help. :grouphug:

Feeling a little better today. I did a few errands this morning, but I don't think I was ready to be out and about yet, so I am back in bed right now. Baby steps :thumbsup2
 
Amy hope you are recovering nicely and that you keep your spirits up

Thank you Beth! :)
I am feeling better today. I did a little too much though, so I am resting now.

I saw all the posts for who made the MP. I have to say I was really surprised, several that I thought were shoe-in's didn't make it. I am sure they are crushed, just like we are!

I am actually getting over it now. I think all of these health issues are putting it in to perspective for me.
 
I am about to explode! Did you guys read this???


http://land.allears.net/blogs/dnews/2012/11/starbucks_locations_at_magic_k.html

That is a sin! Walt has to be turning over in his grave! To desecrate Main Street like this makes me so mad!!! How can they commercialize such an important icon??? What genius decided this was a good idea!!!

Shame on you Bob Iger for approving this deal!!!
:confused3:sad1:pirate::crazy2::sad:

Wow, as if there aren't enough outside the parks. I certainly hope that this isn't a trend. :confused3
 
Hey Everybody!! A few days ago I sent messages to those of you who are interested in the podcast. If you haven't had a chance to get back to me, please try to respond by Monday. Ill be sending out another message to everyone who has replied so we can get this going. Thanks again for your interest!!!
 
Wow, as if there aren't enough outside the parks. I certainly hope that this isn't a trend. :confused3

I know! I could understand the location in Epcot, that was a good choice. But Main Street? How could they think that was OK? I think as many people as possible need to flood Facebook, Twitter, and email guest services so maybe we can keep it from happening, or at least make them reconsider! :confused3

I can see putting them in at DTD and the resorts, because the coffee is terrible, that would be fine. Actually a good idea. But Main Street/ I am just stunned. I thought it was a joke at first! :furious:
 
I think the Starbucks thing is so sad. I'm okay with them changing the coffee served...but the Main Street Bakery? What next. They going to replace Casey's with a McDonald's?

That's how I started.. I have planned many Disney vacations, but never a cruise and was totally lost. Check out that board to begin with and get the DVD or play around on the website. There is a separate department for group reservations in which they will help you plan and make reservations for the trip and any activities. There is also a discount I'm told if you book at least 8 cabins with a minimum of 2 adults in each. Still learning and loving it as I go! can't wait to add it to my skills for 2014! I will keep you informed as it gets closer and the dates are released!
