As the Ticker Turns~The next chapter of the Resort Changers Saga...*RC trips pg.238

[Mousemommy1]

Good morning to everyone!

Did you hear that Candace (MM1) is going to WDW tomorrow and is staying in her first Deluxe and it's WL AND it's Club Level?! I just thought I'd mention that in case you hadn't heard the great news! We're excited right along with you, Candace.

Jeanette: You are not getting enough sleep - naps do not a good night's sleep make. I may have missed this, but I thought you put in your notice for your ER job? Are you working two jobs until you're released from your other job? I don't know how you do it all - you're incredible, but please take care of yourself. And, that goes for everyone else, too!

Thanks! I'm not sure they knew!!!

Just a quick update. Lily is running high fevers again. I couldn't take off from work so my mom is at the doctor with her and Daniel now.

I hope Lily makes a fast recovery! They should obviously check her ears again!! We went through this with both kids with back to back ear infections for 8 months. It's no fun.

**********
The girls just emptied out their piggy banks, and we are going to go to Target to turn that cash into Disney gift cards for their spending pleasure.

Hello RCers! I hope everyone is doing well! After all the pre-booking RCing we did over the past few months, I thought we were done. But when I went to book for our October (first MNSSHP for us!) and January trips, we hit a bump. I thought RCers would have some good advice, so here goes!

October: BC for two nights and then CR CL the night of the party. We'll likely upgrade our BC reservation to CL if Disney releases a decent AP discount.

January: It was going to be Poly CL for half the week and BWI CL for the other half. It was truly perfect for us. Then we discovered that Poly CL is unavailable in January because they are refurbishing Hawaii. Boo!!!! CL is really important when my husband is along with us, and we're definitely doing a monorail resort/Epcot resort split, but we really don't want to give up Poly.

Some ideas we're considering:

1) Standard Poly for three nights (find some non-parks activities to replace evening appetizers and book ADRs for TS breakfast each morning), BWI CL for three nights.

2) Standard Poly for two nights, GF CL for one, BWI CL for three.

3) Standard Poly for two nights, BWI CL for four. (But that's tough with some of the MK area ADRs we're planning.)

Any advice? We've never stayed at GF, and we intend to try it at some point, just not sure about the construction. As I mentioned on the Poly thread, I can't believe I've been staying at Poly since the early 80s and when I finally decide to book CL there, I can't!!!

I see mousemommy is almost on her way - happy travels!!!

GrumpyGrandma, thanks for sending me back over here! I'm too lost in cruise planning lately - happy to see you all! Too funny about the continued coincidence in our travel dates! We're October 6-9 (BC/CR) and January 26-February 1 (Poly/BWI.) Wishing you safe travels this weekend!

Pas, we really enjoy Clearwater as far as west coast Florida beaches go. And no, three resorts in three days is not too much!

Best wishes to all those RC little ones experiencing health issues and illnesses. Get well soon!

I'd chose option 1. On our super split I thought 2 nights was a pretty decent amount of time, but I preferred the 3 night portion. I don't think we would like doing just one night anywhere. Bummer about Poly CL!

Just a quick update. Lily is running high fevers again. I couldn't take off from work so my mom is at the doctor with her and Daniel now.

Oh boy. Your poor family just can't catch a break. I hope she is feeling better very soon.

Thanks again!!! Still here. Just did our on line check in for our flight! This time tomorrow we'll be in the sky headed to the most wonderful place on earth!!!

Did I mention??? I'm going to Disneyworld tomorrow!!!!

Oh I did...sorry for the interruption....nothing to see here....

Sarah I hate that the H&H is back, I need to get out to the store to pick up a few things but if I don't go early I won' t be going... Will have to get the powdered coffee creamer down out of the cabinet as a last resort lol

Now that IS desperate measures for desperate times!!! Thanks for that great laugh! And free dining rocks for you!!

pixarmom: I pick door #3 -- Standard Poly for two nights, BWI CL for four. You will get the BWI CL for hubs which we enjoyed and the great location benefits of Epcot resorts also. The two nights Poly encompass 3 days so as long as dinner isn't 9pm, you make be able to keep the MK area ADRs you're planning without much travel woe if you keep park time at MK in your 3rd day. Hope that made sense. Poly CL will be new and shiny and waiting for you next time.

GrumpyGrandma: Glad you made it off the mountain. ToT, ToT, ToT, ToT!!!

I_heart_the_mouse: The week will fly by for your son (and yes, you too! ) and the surgery benefits will, of course, last a lifetime. Or until he and his bro do another boy thing!!!

disneydreamin247: I am sending you a big hug to stay strong!!! I hope the fevers and other pieces of the puzzle will come clear very soon for your precious Lilyana. Now Danimal and a eye infection. Ugh.

pas130: I was unaware that Bree was having heart issues. Big hug to you. Best thoughts to you. Glad HRH scored well on her tests. I see you are working a lot of hours. What a surprise... How is the new job going?

Missoutandabout: You watching your DH's plane on radar was adorable. I hope your go-funny arm isn't too badly mangled. I had a Trainer train me into a messed up knee. It took about nine months to get mostly "better" and still goes funny now. I'm afraid to get it looked at further.

Mousemommy: Wooohooo for you and have lotsa fun! The girls must be so excited to trade in their "pennies" for gift cards today. Wish I was there to watch their excitement.

Heather: I'm gonna get over to read your TR soon.

Thinking of you all. I've been doing some freelance art direction for the Audubon Society in addition to my other duties, so sorry I've missed so much. Feels so good to get back into my chosen profession when I do it, though. ...And time to start packing today for my Wyoming & Idaho trip Wednesday. Plans are for lots of hiking, picture taking, and good food, and quality time with my BFF (I hate that term but it fits). And hopefully no hooks in the eye when I learn to fly-fish. .........OH, and I'm getting really excited now: tomorrow is my 30 DAY MARK to POLY.

REALLY?!?! I had NO idea you were going to Disney!

Just a quick update. Lily is running high fevers again. I couldn't take off from work so my mom is at the doctor with her and Daniel now.

Dani hope both your babies are feeling better ... it's so hard to be away from them when they are sick but grandmas know how to take care of their grandbabies.

 

[jennyjinx3]

Dani: Sending good thoughts and pixie dust for both of your kiddos!

 

[gwynne]

Dani,
Hope your kids are feeling much, much better.

Mousemommy,
Woo-hoo!!! Your trip is almost here. Have a fabulous time!!!
Looking forward to hearing about your adventures!

I'm not posting this on facebook because there's certain people from my job that I don't want knowing anything, so I hope everyone sees it here. Both kids now have a multisymptom virus.We have to watch them both very closely because they are both on the verge of behing dehydrated and needing to be hospitalized for fluids. I really don't know if we are going to make it to Disney at this point. I think I'm just going to give up being excited because I don't want to be too upset if we can't go.

Dani, I am joining in the group hug and sending my prayers for a quick recovery for your little ones! You need a break, and I so hope this clears up before your trip so you can all go and share much-needed quality time together!!

 

[Mousemommy1]

Good Morning everyone! It is 4:36 am, and of course, I was just "too excited to sleep". . I went to bed at 10 pm but I swear I was up every hour looking at the clock. I have to wake the family up now...it's still dark out!!! In 6 hours we will be in Orlando!!!

I will check in when we get there! Have a great Sunday everyone!

So sorry this is getting worse for you. You need to keep yourself healthy so you can focus on getting the kids better. I can only imagine all the mixed emotions you're experiencing right now, but you need to take this day by day, maybe minute by minute.

The trip is far enough off that there's still hope. But, you shouldn't feel like you HAVE to take the trip as planned. It might be best to think about some alternate dates so that you don't feel as much pressure right now. Bringing sick or just-recovering kids to WDW would be even more stressful for everyone.

You should be in the air now and on approach to MCO!! I can't wait to hear what you think of WL and The Old Faithful Club. Hurry up and get there already

 

[Jungle Cruiser]

Dani, sending love, hugs and good thoughts your way. You have a whole RC family willing your precious Lily and Danimal to get better soon. If WDW can't happen in August (and that is still a long way away) you will get there soon. You know there are so many of us who would do anything we could to help, hopefully at least we can be here for you.

i heart the mouse, good luck tomorrow. We will be thinking of you and will be happy to hear when you are home with your little guy. Good luck!

sjs, I gather you are a coffee lover like I am. I prefer skim, can do lowfat or regular milk but can't tolerate half and half. Whipped cream is a good back up, have you ever tried ice cream...it's another good emergency solution. Hope you are staying inside and cool.

I have one update to our list and will do it tomorrow morning , maybe I will get more before then!

 

[Lillian Gracey]

@Dani: I am so sorry to hear that your wonderful kids aren't feeling well. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. You will get through this and your kids will get better!

@Mousemommy1: Have lots of fun! I wouldn't be able to sleep either! I can't wait to hear about your trip!

Hello to all the lovely ladies here! I am hoping my mom will book my trip so I can cancel my reservation.

Now to watch more Four Weddings and wish that was me! Under 7 weeks 'til our 3 year anniversary!

 

[i_heart_the_mouse]

Mousemommy - I hope you have arrived safely and are having the trip of your dreams!

Dani - more hugs for your babies. And for you too

Jenny, Magic, and Jungle Cruiser - Thanks for your kind thoughts!

I hope everyone else is having a great weekend!
