[Trentmom]

Hey Marshay?

How is your DD feeling?

Hey Marshay?

How is your DD feeling?

Thanks for asking. Her fever is staying around 99-100 with Tylenol so this is an improvement. Hopefully by tomorrow the fever will be gone. However, tonight she got diarrhea...and I'm starting to feel run down...

I just want to cry...

IF we still get to go, it'll definitely be a 'slow, no hurry' trip...I'm worried (and just a bit , even though I know it's not anyone's fault...) Probably silly of me to plan a November trip when I know we get sick every year in November, even though we get a flu shot...

At this point we plan to just wait until Saturday morning to decide...I'm hoping to go to bed around 10pm tonight.

I guess it sounds kind of bad for me to ask, considering there are people with much worse problems than us, but I'll definitely take all the prayers we can. I really want to go on this trip and although we might get a credit for SW, we'll lose our DVC points since they expire Nov 30th, if we can't go this weekend.

Sorry to hear about your DD being sick ... if it makes you feel better, my DD got sick 4 days before we left (and we were driving!) but by the morning we left, she was MUCH better. Her dr. said she was fine to go, and by "day 1" in WDW, she was back to 100%!

Here's to hoping she'd feeling better!

 

[Trentmom]

Sending Prayers and pixie dust your way that DD is better and no one else gets sick

thanks guys!! Here's hoping we're all good by day 1, too!

OK, since both my doctor and my DD4's doc said we should got to Disney ... we are past the worse of our colds, we are packed and ready to go!

I'm hoping DD's fever doesn't come back but am taking Tylenol with us in case it does.

I'm not sure if we'll do the dining plan...I think we should cancel it if we can and just plan to eat smaller meals/snacks.

But I know DD4 is looking forward to the character meals ... and frankly, so was I since I have the autograph book. Maybe we can keep one or two of them..

We may also skip another park or else change our strategy to just relax, sleep in (as much as you can with an infant) and lounge around in the morning...get to the parks around 11am - 1pm and then just go from there.

I'm worried that hitting DHS late will mean we won't get to do TSM...and DD4 said she DEFINITELY wants to ride that.

I also want to spend some time (and money) at DTD for Christmas gifts. DD4 already said she wants to play with the Mr. Potato Heads and My Little Ponies. Also, there is the make your own princess crowns and Goofy's Candy shop which we've never done.

OK, lots on my mind. I'm going to try to remember to just relax about this trip and be thankful that we get to go at all!

 

[Trentmom]

Have a magical Trip!!

Take things nice and slow and am sure you will still have an awesome trip

We're back!! I'm glad we went but oh, it definitely had its moments. Overall we had a really good time and I can't wait to download my photos. Our trip was a success ... even with some big bumps in the road.

Let's see ... here's a preview:

1) Where did DH and I argue?
a) in the room with the patio door open -- oops!
b) on the monorail, thankfully it was empty
c) in the middle of the road near Splash Mountain

2) Which planned park did we not go to?
a) Magic Kingdom
b) Hollywood Studios
c) Epcot

3) What did we think of BLT?
a) Awesome!
b) It was really nice but not worth the extra points
c) Eh, can take it or leave it

4) What changes did we make?
a) Got a rental car
b) Skipped the dining plan
c) Slept in everyday

5) What DIS trip-saving swap made all the difference?
a) Stroller Swap
b) Survival Bag Swap
c) Refrigerator Swap

I just got back from Disneyland, where I spent my birthday with Missy (tothesea) and her brothers Toby and Cody, who all participated in our CMO thread. Best birthday ever!

Heck no

She probably needs the sleep

 

[Marshay]

Well you know what they say about the best laid plans...

Normally Elie goes to sleep right after I nurse her ... this time, nope! She said, I'm awake...I want to play...

But she's asleep now, so here goes:
