I am thinking we will get to the resort by 10:30pm. When you took the later flights did you pick up your luggage & take it on the ME bus with you?

Nope. We just had our carry-ons last August, and then we called the next morning for the rest of the luggage. They leave a "silent" voice mail for you when the bags arrive - the light will blink but your phone won't ring. The next morning you just call and they bring them to you. Our trip last February was a short one (the trip from hell) so we didn't check any bags. Good thing, because the way that trip went they probably would have lost any bags we checked!
10:30 isn't bad. We got to WL last summer around 1 AM. It was deserted. There was a man with a vacuum watching the cartoons on the lobby TV - that was it. After about 5 minutes a girl came to check us in. Do you know how long 5 minutes feels at 1 AM? With DH griping at me that he has been up for the past 24 hours? Maybe flying in at 6 AM will be better for us than flying in the night before.

What on earth? They put random stuff in a blender to see what will happen? DS would LOVE that. He was watching the thing on Food Network about dropping Mentos into a bottle of Diet Coke - he thought that was the best thing ever.

Thank you Elizabeth!

I thought that was cool last night too!

This blender is amazingly powerful. That is what they are showing in all those videos... things you can try at home and things you should not! an iPhone!!

Well it has all worked out. I am getting an extra 3+ hours at WDW with the flight schedule changes. Chanon was able to get us a park/fly hotel at BWI, so we can head up there the night before and be relaxed the morning of departure. Now I just hope they don't mess with the schedules again.

Tammi - was it you who stayed at the Amerisuites at BWI for a Park 'n' Fly and when you returned it had changed hands? If so, what did it become?

Yes, it was me. It's now a Hyatt. That's where we will stay this time too. 2 beds and a pull-out.

Hi, DDA!

I hope everyone is well - would you believe I haven't been on the DIS in almost 2 weeks!

I hope everyone is doing well! I went back a page or two and see that our twins are still in utero (hang in there, Jennifer!), but if anyone could provide me any important updates, that would be great! I have a suspiscion that the last time I read, this thread was only on it's 20th page or so. I wish I could say that I have time right now to go back and read, but I just don't.

Things have been good with me. I was very busy at work, and then we left for Kauai on Friday the 30th. We had a great time as always, and returned Sunday morning. The only thing that stinks about the trip is the travel home - needless to say, I'm still having back issues, and sitting on a plane for 9+ hours was not doing me any favors. I'm still trying to adjust to the 5-hour time difference - my body doesn't like the fact that I'm waking it up for work at what it thinks is 1 a.m.!

Now that I'm back, work is in full swing again - my interns arrive very soon, and since so much of my programming for them is having to be reinvented this year due to the merger, it's creating even more work than normal. So, I'm afraid I won't be around a lot again, although I will try to pop in.

Just because I haven't been around doesn't mean that I haven't thought of everyone! I hope you're all staying cool, and dry!

 

[Tammi67]

Hi Lindsay. Welcome home. I hope your body adjusts quickly.

 

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

Me too!

Thanks.

Robyn - If the rash is yeast based from the antibiotics then the Lotrimin should clear it up. If it is just raw from acidic diapers then you can mix Desitin with Mylanta (the consistency of thin peanut butter) and coat her tushy with that. When Brother had that stomach virus his tushy was SO sore. That was the one where we had to take him off dairy for a month. It was awful, but that mixture helped heal the rash.

Thanks for the tip. I vaguely remember somewhere in the nether regions of my brain that I mixed Mylanta with something for Molly long ago.

WooHoo!! Daniel!! WTG!!! and some for the next game!!!



poor pumpkin, I hope she is feeling better fast...seems like an awful long time to be on medicine.



Thanks!! That's EXACTLY what I was going to post to Vicki...back to your vacation please.

Thanks, how is the wrist feeling these days?

Guess what?!? I think I found my wedding shoes!

Those are just perfect!

I got my flights changed, we are now leaving on the 5th & returning on the 16th. Only bad thing is we get in late on the 5th, oh well!

Glad that you got that straightened out!

Hello all! Sorry to be MIA, but know that I truly appreciate your prayer support! I had a pretty good appointment today, I'll put more details on our website later this afternoon when I get a chance if you're interested. No more appointments for me, since early labor continues to progress just fine. My OB says I'll either have babies later this week, or see her bright and early on Monday. This we already knew

Take care of yourselves, and we all 3 hope to "see" you soon!

Buckets and buckets of that those girls decide to come out sooner rather than later.

All this talk about flights...........I checked mine, and my return flight from Orlando is gone!

I am glad you got them figured out too!

Ah! I used domeboro on my toes when I had toe surgeries to try out the open toe. I never even thought to use it on diaper rash on the kids.

Polysporin also helps with diaper rash.

Thanks, I love all the useful information everyone has to offer!!

Eric loves that blender!

Welcome back Lindsay!

 

[PNO4TE]

Yes, it was me. It's now a Hyatt. That's where we will stay this time too. 2 beds and a pull-out.

I couldn't remember which one it had become. I have a Spinghill Suites with 1 King bed and 1 sofabed booked for our Boston trip. I was delighted to find it for only $169 + tax per night! Those Park 'n' Fly places are expensive during the summer months!!

 

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

We are back from the doctors and Lucy's ear look wonderful. It seems that her front side teeth are about to break through and those teeth are connected to the same nerve as the ear (or something like that) so we are to just keep up with the tylenol and motrin. I knew the teeth were coming in but after giving her the medicines last night and she still seemed bothered I thought it was her ears.

 

[PNO4TE]

Welcome home, Lindsay! I am glad the trip was relaxing, but I wish your back was doing better.

 

[PNO4TE]

Eric loves that blender!

Do you all have it????

 

[PNO4TE]

I am glad that there seems to be an answer to Lucy's discomfort and even happier that there may be an end in sight!!

No, but he wants one!

Me too! Although by the 3rd child you'd think I wouldn't have to run to the doctors to be told it's just teething
