A May 2010 PTR: I Got A Job....Let's Go See Mickey!*Update 4/15!!

Hey Julia. I love your Disney store stuff :thumbsup2. I miss my kids being small and being able to shop for stuff like that. I love shopping for our trips too. It always makes the trip seem real.
 
I'm starting this PTR on a sad note. We spent 3 hours at the Children's Hospital with my son today. He had been congested and coughing for a couple of days, but started vomiting and really having some trouble breathing today, so I called his doc and they recommended we take him to the ER. Thankfully he "just" has RSV, no pneumonia. So they sent us home with a script and told us to make sure and push fluids so that he doesn't get dehydrated, and try to keep him away from DD as much as possible. She has already started coughing, though, so I'm pretty sure she has/will get it. We are praying that the sickness will leave us soon, though! :goodvibes

So after a l-o-n-g evening at the hospital, we arrived home around 10:30 pm. And when we checked the mail, we had. . . . .



MICKEY MAIL!! :dance3:

I just love getting Mickey Mail. It really is the BEST mail! :lovestruc It was a little booklet with pictures of the Resort, Dining Tips & Info, and Theme Parks Tips & Info. Very cute! I'm looking forward to showing it to Dakoda once he starts feeling better. :hug:



The other surprise is that DH and I had been talking a lot lately about something that I could get/do that would kind of be the equivalent for me as his PS3 is for him. (Does that make sense? It does in my head, but it doesn't look right typed. :confused3) Anyway, we decided on a laptop!! :woohoo:
Now I :love: me some Macbooks, but they're a little out of our price range right now (unless I want to give up our Disney trip.... NAH!!!! :scared1:). So I picked out a cute little pink Dell and it should be here by the first week in March. I am SO excited!! This, my friends, means more DIS time! WOOHOO! :dance3:
 
Oh no, Julia!! I'm so sorry to hear that Dakoda has RSV! I'll be praying that he gets better fast and that Sarah Kate doesn't get it!!

YAY for Mickey mail!! I'm sure that brightened your day!! :goodvibes

And YAY for a new laptop!! I just LOVE my laptop! I'm laying on the couch right now typing!! :lovestruc

Thank you so much for the prayers!! :hug: We are taking Sarah Kate to the ped today to have her tested.

I am SO excited about the laptop!! Did I see in your Christmas pics that you got a VB laptop case? How do you like it?
 
So sorry that little Dakoda is sick. Hope he's feeling better real soon! :hug: Hope you all stay well!

Love getting some MickeyMail...that can put a smile on any face. :goodvibes
 
Here's hoping everyone at your house is feeling better very, very soon!

A new laptop is exciting! :cool1:

Love the shopping pictures. Can't wait to see Naveen and Tiana again.

Thanks! :hug: We had Sarah Kate tested today and she has it, too. :sad2: I'm hoping they both make speedy recoveries and we don't have to make anymore trips to the ER!

Oh no!! I'm so sorry that Sarah Kate has it, too!!! Praying for them both!

Yes!! I got a VB laptop case that I LOVE!!! It has a hard, protective case which is nice. The old styles were just fabric.

Thanks again for the prayers! :hug:

I didn't realize they were hard - that makes it even better! I'm working on DH to get me one. :thumbsup2

I hope Dakoda is feeling better soon! :hug:

Thanks! :hug:
 
Sorry I missed that part that Sarah Kate has it too!! :sad2: Hope everyone has a speedy recovery!
 
It never fails - when I can convince DH to actually talk with me about Disney, we always end up making changes. :rolleyes1

If you've read my TR, you're well acquainted with my DNephews, Zach and Landon. I think I might have mentioned that they moved to the Tampa area right before Christmas of last year. They used to live about 20 mins from us and we saw them all the time, so we are missing them a lot. :( We had been planning on having them meet us in Orlando and go to a couple of parks with us while we are there, but it's about an hour drive from where they live and they will still be in school. So after much debate, we have decided to go back to our original plan of 5 nights/6 days at Disney, followed by 2 nights/days in the Tampa area with our family. :grouphug: :lovestruc We will probably still see if they want to drive up and go to the parks with us on Sunday, 5/30 and Monday, 5/31 (Memorial Day).

And since we are going back to our original plan, that means. . . . . . .

That's really sweet of you and your DH to cut Disney time short to spend some time with extended family. Plus, now you get to stay at CB! :yay:

Hope Dakoda and Sarah Kate are feeling better! :goodvibes

Thanks! :hug:

I can't say it's too much of a sacrifice to cut Disney time short...we're going to be staying at the beach.
:rotfl:

YAY for CBR!!!! I know you must be sooo excited!!! :woohoo:

I am!!! I love Pop, but I'm so super excited to try something new!! And I know DS will just love the pirate ship kiddie pool! :love:
 
You'll love CBR!! :thumbsup2 Sounds like you are doing our trip from last year... We always visit DH's brother & family when we are in Florida. We fly in & out of Tampa, spend a weekend with them, go to Disney for a week and have them join us for the last weekend at Disney. And last year we did all that at CBR!
 
Man! I just caught up on a bunch of pages of your PTR, and I couldn't figure out why there was no "multi-quote" button. Then I go to post a reply, and I realized I wasn't even signed in! :headache: I hope I can remember everything I wanted to comment on!
----------------------------------------------------------------
Evidently I missed a page or two early on. Thanks for posting that link to the Josh McNeil story. I had read about most of those things, but not in that much detail. I will have to pass that link along so all my fellow VOL fans can feel better that the "snake" is gone! LOL!
------------------------------------------------------------------
I love all of your Disney Store and Alumni Hall purchases! Ever since I read about Becky taking her girls to the Perfectly Princess Party, I am dying to take my girls (who are WAY too young, but I still want them to go!). I am going to keep an eye on the calender, and I'm going to probably make a point to take them to something. I am going to be taking a sewing class at Jo Ann's on Cedar Bluff at some point, so maybe we can make a day of it, if I can get the sewing class and Disney Store events to happen on the same day.

I SO need to get back to Alumni Hall. They have the best stuff. You remember that dress of Sarah Kate's that I told you I really liked? I saw one almost exactly like it at Cracker Barrel this weekend. It's that orange and white striped jumper (almost a seersucker fabric), with an embroidered "T" at the bottom, on the left side, I think. The best part? The diaper cover has "GO VOLS" across the bottom! AH! Cuteness! I have no idea why I didn't buy it. Yes, I do. They didn't have a size smaller than a 2T, and I need my girls to match! Caroline is just getting into 2Ts, but Ella Kate (great minds name their kids Kate! :rotfl:)is just in 3-6 months. I would have bought a 9m or 12m if they had it, but I guess all they stock are toddler sizes. I'm going to have to go back and buy it, though. I can't stop thinking about it.

Cracker Barrel had a bunch of great stuff. Generally they just have all super country stuff, but this weekend, I could have spent a ton! And probably would have if my DH hadn't been with me.:rolleyes1 To make this really long Cracker Barrel story more Disney-fied, they had a book that was like a princess encyclopedia! It had all the princesses listed, and all the different facts about each one. I'm thinking that it needs to be in Caroline's Easter basket. :thumbsup2

Yay for CBR! I hate that your cutting the WDW portion of your trip short, but at least you'll be at the beach! You'll be combining my 2 favorite vacations! :cloud9:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I am typing this from my Macbook, and I will tell you that there are very few things I love more. I would sleep with it, if people wouldn't think I was too loony. I LURVE it! The only thing that would make it better? If it was pink!! :lovestruc
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I have the VB laptop case in Pinwheel Pink (I also LURVE pink and green!!!). I think it's a little on the small side, but other than that, it's great.

:crazy2:Whew! I think I did it. Well, I'm sure I missed something, but my mind is too tired to think anymore. :faint:
 
Hi Julia! Just finished reading your PTR. Your kids are soooo cute! Yay for CBR and spending time with family. My brother lives in Orlando and we try to hang out a night or two when we're at the world. We've stayed at CBR twice and loved it. It's a beautiful resort and you are sure to enjoy it! If it weren't for the 40% code, we'd probably be staying there again. :goodvibes

Sorry to hear that your little ones are sick. My little one has asthma and had RSV at 18months. It is such a nasty virus. I hope the kids are much better today. :goodvibes
 
I can't believe how far behind I am :sad2:. First, I hope Dakoda is better and that Sarah Kate stayed healthy.

Second, woooooo hooooo on a new computer. I love my laptop. I had a desktop for years and now that I have a laptop I don't want anything else.

Third-------:woohoo::yay: ON CBR :woohoo::yay:. I'm like you, I can't wait to get there.
