A WISH for Cold Tea? Ana's aMAWzing Disney Trip! 12/1-12/7 ~Last Entry~ p.127

:hug:, prayers and pixie dust for today:hug:
Thank you.

love the photo of the kids on the coaster! they look so little on it!
They do look little on it... but they had such a blast!

sounds like Ana will be riding the big ones with you soon!
I don't doubt it.

never been to SW in orlando, but saw it in SanDiego in 03, maybe our next trip....we are Disney Girls though
Add a day to your trip and go check it out! It really had a great day there!

can't believe you only have one more day to report....what are you going to do when your all done.
LOL I donno? Goto Disney? :lmao::lmao:





I wanted to send you lots of good vibes and well wishes for today! (I've been reading your TR, just hadn't said hi yet! :wave:) I'm so happy you were all able to have a great trip to Disney! Hope everything goes great today, and can't wait to read more of your TR! :goodvibes
:welcome: Thanks for reading and thinking of Juliana.





First and foremost, I am doing lots of this today
prayers.gif
and will anxiously be waiting to hear from you.
Thank you Kathy. :goodvibes


YOU DID IT TO ME AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You did an update AFTER I went to bed. You are killing me here, Tim.
Most of my updates are at night, you know that. Night is my 'alone' time. :lmao:

Okay, I am settled down now. It looks as if you guys had a great time at Sea World. I didn't even know that they had the Shamu showing running again after what happened last year.
The show was cool... I mean those killer whales are huge and yet so graceful. I just thought it would of been a little longer and had more.

I love the outfit Ana has on -- it looks so cute on her. And the rides with her cousins are precious.
Thank you!

What a nice diver to bring a jewel to THE jewel.
It was very nice of her... A little pixie dust off of Disney property. ;)

I can't wait to hear what the surprise is that you and Mel had for Ana.
I think you know... I think I talked about it on the PTR.... but i forget. :confused3





WOW! popcorn::what a fantastic update! SeaWorld is on my wish list....can't see to talk DH from taking an off site day yet...maybe next trip (we aim for every other year to save $). He would LOVE LOVE LOVE that coaster. Me, well i would be a very nasty color of green and doing unpleasant things with anything i'd eaten that day.
You could probably do SW and still spend the evening in a Disney park. ;)

Tell your DH that SW has 2 GREAT coasters!!!!!! Maybe that will sway him? :goodvibes

Thank you for thinking of Juliana.:goodvibes





Keeping Ana in our prayers for her Dr's appt today! Hope all goes well :goodvibes
Thank you.





Mmm... Rice Mickey treats... The chocolate ones are my favorite!
The chocolate one are my favorite too! ::yes::
 
I just knew it, I KNEW she'd be clear:goodvibes!!! Tim, I'm so happy for you, Mel and Ana:grouphug:! She's really worked her little way into my heart and it just makes me so darn happy that she's healthy and well! Thanks for posting an update so soon. I can't wait to tell my girls that their prayers for Juliana were answered too! This is the best news, absolutely wonderful!:goodvibes Three cheers for the princesses' great scans!

And one more pink Cinderella for your sweet little Cinderella!
Thank you so much Molly. Juliana loved her pink Cinderellas. They put a big smile on her face. :goodvibes

Thank you.




Hooray!! So so glad to hear everything went well!

Thank you.

DIS meet at the hospital? Do tell!
I will tell... in a few minutes. ;)

Another great update! Sorry to hear you had to deal with the meltdown. What a bummer that merely hairs were split on his height. It doesn't make sense to me that they measure in the front AND before the ride. Oh well, you handled it well.
I was just do disappointed for Juliana's cousin. He was looking forward to riding this all day and then to be so close.

Love the dolphin nursery picture!! Love me some dolphins!!
dolphin.gif
They were so tiny... I wanted to take one home. LOL





Thank you!!!!
 
Thank you.

It was great to finally meet you, your precious daughter and your DW!
Hopefully, you will never need me, but you know where to find me! ;-)
Chris, it was a pleasure meeting you yesterday. I wish it was under different circumstances, but it was a joyous day never-less.






So glad her scans were clear!!:dance3:
That gets 3 Dancing Bananas

:banana::banana::banana:
Great to hear Tim!!


PRAISE THE LORD!
I BELIEVE the labs will be great as well!
Horray for clear scans :)
Thank you all for thinking and praying for Juliana. :grouphug:
 

doing the happy dance here too
:dance3:
Wtg!!! Tell juliana good job little survivor!!
:cheer2: for Juliana
:banana::banana::banana:

Hurray for clear scans!!!

I was behind but all caught up now! Great updates!!
Thank you all. :grouphug:





Awe! So cool that Juliana got to pet a dolphin! I want to do that too! :)
She really liked that. I did too. ;)

So glad that she's alright!
Thank you.






So thankful for the good news you received today. have thought of you guys all day long. God is good!!:thumbsup2
That is such good news about Juliana's scans! :banana:
Thank you all. :grouphug:
 
Well, obviously, I've been off the boards all day, with a giganticly (probably not word, but I like it anyway) busy day tomorrow, and I've missed this fantastic news!! I know how relieved you both must be- bless her little heart!! What a load off your shoulders for a while again!
Thank you Liesa.

I'm so happy for you to have met another DISer!! That's really fun, huh?!
Could this be the first DIS meet in a hospital? Someone check the books. :lmao:

Looking forward to your next update- although, if you put it up tonight, I'll likely not see it until Monday. :goodvibes Have a wonderful weekend, Tim! Time to relax and drink in the thankfulness!
Looking like Sunday night would be my next chance... MAYBE tonight? :confused3





Tim, I loved all of the updates on the Sea World Day ...what an AMAZING time. I think it is wonderful you were able to spend time with family on Ana's MAW trip. I had NO IDEA there was a Polar Express ride/exhibit at SW...how fun.

Thank you!!! The Polar Express was attached to an exhibit called Wild Arctic. The Polar Express part is only there during the holidays.


Sorry the Shamu show was underwhelming. I love all of the photos and the pick a pearl diver is cool...Thanks for sharing so many GREAT experiences with us all! :goodvibes Both my hubby and boys could play Shamu in costme...wonder if it pays well...
I think the dolphin show had so much and maybe we were expecting more (or at least the same) with Shamu? I am glad we saw it though.

Looking to find you DH a job in FL? You moving? :lmao:




Yeah for clear scans!!!! Awesome news.

Thank you.

Glad you had a great day at Sea World. This was/is my kids favorite park. Sad that the Shamu show is different. Is the Polar Express a new ride? I don't remember that one. Oh...I loved the videos.
There were a few things we missed at SW but saw most of the park.

See above for the Polar Express info. ;)






I am so happy to hear of the great scan results!! :banana::dance3::yay:
Thank you. :grouphug:
 
Poor Little Man who couldn't ride the Polar Express! :sad1: Next time hopefully he rode the non-stimulator side at least---or he was tall enough!
He will definitely be tall enough next year. I felt so bad for him.

Do I even need to respond to you???? You aren't going to read this. :lmao:

Dude! That is stinkin' cool!

What a fantastic day with the family at Sea World! We definitely will have to go sometime. Maybe on our next two week trip. :laughing:
The pearl diver was really cool. I wanted to dive in the pool and snatch up some pearls. :lmao:

So you have another 2 week trip planned? :confused3


Love the palm tree Santa! :rotfl:
I haven't seen one of those in CT! :sad2:

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance3: So glad to hear this Tim!!!!!
Thank you.

And a DIS Meet? Who???
Coming up in a minute....

We are headed outta here in about an hour, so not sure when I'll be back on here, but I hope you have a smooth, and fast! week... :goodvibes
Thank you Brook!!! Have a wonderful trip!






Yet another great update! Even though it included a shark tank!
:lmao::lmao:

Feeding the dolphins looks incredible! That video was very cute, Juliana looked like a pro! I love how you kept asking 'can I do one, can I do one?'
I think I was able to feel one dolphin... I was happy! :lmao:

OMG! An exhibit called SHARK ENCOUNTER??:eek: I'd have passed that by without even a glance! Oh my, it sounds like stepping into my nightmare...a conveyor belt that does DOWN while sharks are swimming overhead?? No thanks dude. Didn't you see Jaws 3?!?! I'd have probably passed out and then the conveyor belt would've carried me out to the exit.:laughing: Juliana is quite brave to have gone through it. I'm impressed!
Jaws 3!!!! :rotfl2::rotfl2: I remember that!!! I wasn't thinking of that while I was under hundreds of thousands of pounds of water with hungry man eating sharks above me. :rotfl::rotfl:

That carousel looks like such fun! So cute and inviting. Actually, I'm loving all the SW pics, the landscaping and all are so beautiful.
Thank you! It was a beautiful park.

That little coaster looks cute too! Hmmmm, I'm thinking Juliana will have no problem riding coasters with you when she's older!:thumbsup2 This pic shows how excited they both were, so adorable.
She will go on basically anything.... I wonder if I can get her on ToT next time? :confused3

Bummer that the Shamu show was a bit of let down because it was so short. But honestly, the one we saw in San Diego a few years ago was short as well and my sister and I both thought it would have been longer.
I just remembered that there was a new killer whale in the show as well as a baby that they were training so that probably had something to do with it too.

Ooooh, the Polar Express! So awesome! But definitely sad that the poor little guy couldn't ride! How frustrating for him and you to be handling the meltdown. I'm glad though that you and Ana snuck on later! Good thinking!
I felt so bad for him... I kept looking around for the girls to show up but I handled it ok. :)

Love the pick a pearl thing! Very cool! And also very sweet that the diver gave Juliana a jewel. It's those little things that really sweeten a trip and make special memories, isn't it?
A $.05 jewel and Juliana still talks about it. The diver was very nice to Ana.

I suppose it would seem strange to take pics of someone's food in their home. We have a very sweet neighbor who made us a turkey out of fruit (cantelope for the body, raisin eyes, grapes for the feathers) and I told her to hold on while I took a quick pic before my kids devoured it. Thinking back, I distinctly recall her look of surprise when I took the pic! So ya, it's probably not normal!:laughing:
Her cousin & family have seem me take pictures of our food in Disney so she probably wouldn't think much of it if I did snap some during dinner. Maybe next time I'll pretend to take pictures of the kids while actually getting the food!

I don't know if you remember the cake she made for Juliana last year? I was snapping away at that for 5 minutes. It was a cake photo shoot!!!! :cake:




Glad the scans were clear. Enjoying your pictures, you have a gorgeous family!
:welcome:
Thank you for the kind words.
 
Hi Tim,
I've been reading along with your trip report and just finished your last post on Sea World:fish:! Love all the pictures and descriptions from each day.

Great news too about Juliana's clear scans!
 
:cheer2:for clear scans :cheer2:

Love all the sea world pictures. I have to say that was one of my favorite days. How did we miss that they had kiddie rides? I can't wait to take the kids back.

Thank you.

You never found the kiddie rides? They are right past the Shamu show. Nothing really to write home about but the kids liked them. :)

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

I wanted to let you know that Juliana's labs came back good. Her glucose level was elevated but I guess that is what happens when you eat pancakes with syrup and coco puffs before a blood draw. Her kidney function came back normal, which is very important considering she only has one kidney. Here is a picture with Juliana's favorite nurse.

While we were at the hospital I also had a chance to meet up with a DISer- DisDadDoc. He works at the Children's Hospital and it just worked out that he was available to talk for a few minutes.

I just wanted to thank everyone again for keeping Juliana (and Melody & I) in your thoughts and prayers. It truly means a lot to us.
 
Thank you.


They do look little on it... but they had such a blast!


I don't doubt it.


Add a day to your trip and go check it out! It really had a great day there!


LOL I donno? Goto Disney? :lmao::lmao:




wish I could add another day, but am already taking megan out of school for an extra week, maybe we can sneak over one day if we need a break from disney :lmao:
 
Hey everyone.. we are home. I will respond to all of you later on tonight but I wanted to tell you that Juliana's scans were clear!!! :woohoo::yay::woohoo: We don't know the blood work results yet but everything seems to be ok. Thank you all for thinking of us and keeping Juliana in your prayers.

From me and DH :cool1::cool1::cool1:

From Drew :banana::banana::banana:

From the triplets!!! :dance3::dance3::dance3:

So glad to hear the wonderful news!! I haven't been on for a while (just busy) and didn't know she was having tests, so luckily I got to hear the good news right away!

SeaWorld looks like so much fun and not too crowded! Another great update! I'm working on our Epcot/Akershus day NOW. :cool2:

Oh, and if you have a second, can you tell me how to get your videos to post directly in your Dis posts?? I haven't been able to get that to work??? I linked a picture to the video, that's the only way I could figure to do it!
 
Great SW updates! I haven't been there since I was little. I'll definitely have to add a visit to an upcoming WDW trip.

So glad Juliana got some great news from her doctor's appointment! She is such a brave little girl! :cheer2:

SW was pretty slow the day we went. I saw you posted an update I have to go check it out. ::yes::

Oh, and if you have a second, can you tell me how to get your videos to post directly in your Dis posts?? I haven't been able to get that to work??? I linked a picture to the video, that's the only way I could figure to do it!
You have to upload the URL of your video.. don't use IMG. If you are using photobucket you can copy the URL right from there. If you can't get it work let me know.






Great SW updates! I haven't been there since I was little. I'll definitely have to add a visit to an upcoming WDW trip.
It was such a fun time! All the exhibits were great and the kids liked touching the stingrays too. :goodvibes

So glad Juliana got some great news from her doctor's appointment! She is such a brave little girl! :cheer2:
Thank you.
 
Polar Express is only there doing Christmas?!? :sad::sad::sad: So I am guessing I will miss it...at least I HOPE I miss it, I am counting on October...:rolleyes1
