An honest trip report, Shut up, No you shut up!!!!

[twinmomplus2new]

Cast.. Me Mom 35, disney freak, DVC member.

Nana... Disney freak, real fond of saying is this really necessary?
dd 18... Sayer of God I hate this place, you all shut up,
ds 10... No why don't you shut up!
Twin ds's 4. just happy to be along for the ride.
little cousin... 7 culture shock child, baptism by fire with my crew.

Our last trip was in December and due to little cuz's Mom's illness a strange kind of experience. We decided to tempt fate and give it another whirl.

The original plan was myself and Nana to take my 3 boys and little cuz Alison. when dd 18 insisted she so WANTED to go too. Even though I knew it would bite me in the end I wanted to believe her.. really I did. It turns out actually she lies...And the thing is I knew it was a ruse, But I went along with the story she told me..

Off to the Airport where before we had even left the driveway dd and ds 10. were eating each other alive. Shut up I hate you. No shut up..( you get the picture) and I am thinking someone please shoot me now...
We pick up a very pleased alison and off we go, Now I admit traveling with me is stressful, 2 carseats, double strolllers running 4 year olds...But, in all fairness everyone that travels with me should know this by now...

The kids were great noone slept on the night flight, just relaxed even the little ones were no trouble they just snacked and colored. I had brought little toys for them like rubber bugs, worms etc...I was kidding around with ds 10 and said look Kellen fear factor and put the rubber worms in my mouth. No big deal right???? Well maybe if you are suppossed to be carrying an Epi pen because you are allergic to Latex and never bothered to get one....Now folks it really does take a special kind of stupid to intentionally ingest a poison into you... at 36 thousand feet, really it does.
At first my throat was a little sore and I am thinking, Oh God I can not believe I am getting sick. then I started to drool and well frankly that concerned me. thats when I realized. My tounge and lips were swelling. Very quickly I might add.... well Good for me I pack as neurotically as I act so Although I did not have an Epi I did have Benadryl. So I took 3 and chewed on ice for a bit.. I reallly could have used a Zanax at this point. I am now officially what my Nana would call dumb as dirt.
We arrive at POFQ at 2 am and get probably the 2 best rooms in the house, Building 2 right behind the slide first floor. we all promptly fell right to sleep.

Wow! So far your trip report sounds sooo funny...well not the part where the allergic reaction started to hit...I'm glad you were ok. The part about the bickering siblings...aghhhh I can certainly relate and it is great to know that I am not alone!!! We went to WDW in December...the best place on Earth, right???? My two spent the first few days bickering just terrible. When I threatened to put one on a plane and he could head home and stay with grandma, the sibling fighting finally calmed down abit!

I could tell I'm gonna like this report!!

Sorry to hear about your reaction! I carry benedryll with me everywhere I travel as well. I'm very allergic to mosquito bites (swell up like a ballon and at times get fevers for only a few hours.). I'm suddenly starting to get allergic to some of my favorite foods too!!! God I hate getting older!!

Anyway can't wait for the rest of the reports! Post pictures if you can!

Sounds interesting so far...

Hope you don't mind my asking, but what double stroller do you use and do you recommend it? I'm looking for one for my 4 yr old and 8 mo. old sons...can't find one that will fit the big guy.

Thanks!
