Bring Own Bedding

[magicluvinmom]

This brings up a painful memory for me...the first time I heard the term, "Parent Swap" - I thought it was a place where tired and frustrated parents could go and swap out their horribly, rotten children...and get new children who were behaved, appreciative and quiet. Sign me up!!!

Imagine my disappointment when I heard what it really meant.

"You mean, I'm STUCK with them??!!"

while traveling with a 2yr old and 10 month old in June my 15 yr old daughter looked at the map and said "there is a baby care center, why can't we just take them there?"

i think there is a mattress swap on the budget board.

I think I just woke up the kids from nap laughing out loud.

That guy was a legend. Even after he disappeared, he is still seen everywhere.

Whatever you do, just don't say his name three times...

...in the mirror. lol. you people slay me!

Ok, first off, OMG lol at some of the responses, especially pie (nice robo) and the child swap, too funny.

Now then, since I've got a ruptured disc in my back, I know a little something about the kind of pain that the OP seems to be referring to, and that makes me wonder something. If OP's wife is in that much pain from sleeping on a different mattress, how is she going to manage the drive in the car, the hours in the parks, and heaven forbid any rides?

She might find it easier, safer, and much more relaxing to just order the Disney Vacation Planning DVD, and watch it on the big screen tv from the comfort of her own bed a few dozen times. It'll be just like visiting Disney World, just without carrying a mattress up three flights of stairs, and then back down them

Honestly, if there is a person who's back is that sensitive, they probably shouldn't be venturing such a trip, even the mildest of rides in Disney isn't great for a bad back.

Funny you should mention that. I'm bringing my own rides.

What do you mean car ride? They're going to use pixie dust!

Never mind that, how in Heaven's name will she be able to maneauver her Scooter from opening to close, and then some. At least she won't have to wait in any of those long lines!

Last months MRI showed L4 and L5 Bulging discs with annular something something. Im taking 3 vicodin a day, undergoing a nerve block procedure Monday at 7 a.m. and leaving for the World Tuesday evening. At this point it will take permanent paralysis and/or an act of congress and my maker to keep me from my families trip.

talking about the poster afraid of animatronics ?

Oh, I remember that thread!

This is by far the funniest thread I think I've ever read!

Don't you know it's dangerous to make a pregnant girl laugh that hard!!! Have some compassion. Lol.

Yes you can bring your own mattress to WDW as long as it is a queen size or larger. Are you planning to do a split stay? I understand that if you can personally carry it on your back to the second resort Disney will give you 50% off at any of the All Star Resorts. The only problem is that as the rooms here tend to run on the small side you might not be able to get the mattress through the door.

 

[~Kik-Kik~]

This should go over to the disabilities boards. There should be answer in contacting Disney directly. Your wife would need a doctor's medical note and then probably something that says the mattress has been inspected for certain things.

No, I have never heard of anyone doing this and yes, Disney is great with medical issues but you are getting slammed here and the only way to solve it is to just get the mods to close this down and go over to the disabilities board. I trust the OP is monitoring these responses and will take the action necessary. If not, thanks for stopping by here and I wish you good luck.

I am bumping this post as it is the only post that is somewhat serious and on topic in the whole thread. If this was a joke, good one. However, I have a feeling this was a serious post. I would recommend taking the advice of the aforementioned poster. Disney is quite accommodating when need be.

We also bring our own shower heads, the ones on property shoot out really hard and hurt my skin.

And I prefer cake, pie is for old people.

Enjoying this thread. The" bring my own toilet" got me laughing out loud. My cat glared at me and got up and left. Guess she didn't like me laughing out loud.

Anyway, I prefer cake too, but I don't understand the "I like pie" thing.
Robo, can you fill me in please?

This thread is hilarious!

Wait a minute, fakereadhed, you have your own rides . .. . . I don't have MY own rides . .. . Why not? I've got a bad back, and all those Disney rides have that warning about if you have a hangnail, or have ever had a hangnail, or might possibly ever in your lifetime have a hangnail, you probably shouldn't ride.

I need to bring my own rides too, ones without the hangnail warning (or the bad back warning, either would suffice I suppose). So, where does one go to purchase their own substitute Disney rides, and how exactly do you fit them in the 2.3 square inches of my trunk that isn't taken up by the other stuff I need to bring with me

And, what order do I pack them in? I mean, I suppose the toilet goes in first, god forbid there is a er um spill, I wouldn't want that on my mattress, but what comes next, the cloths, the mattress, or the rides? This is just going to make packing for the trip so much more stressful.

This is an un-tapped market for U-Haul!!! Can you imagine being able to go rent a vehicle that can: transport everyone in your party; take your mattress; a separate haz-mat-ish area for that pesky toilet; another area for your own rides. Well, genius I say! I'm making an appointment with my local U-Haul tomorrow to talk to them about this new sort of vacation vehicle.
