Ever had a WDW vacation "real" nightmare?

[GinaGrumpyDwarf]

Let me start by saying i'm 7 months pregnant, and the hormones are FLYING..lol AND we leave on Saturday!!! This trip has been the most planned by my DH and I. We want to make it SUPER SPECIAL for our DD3 (it will be her birthday WEEK..ok ok, more like BIRTHDAY MONTH) lol

Last night I had a NIGHTMARE!!! I woke up in a cold sweat. OK, my dream was that we went to Disney, then the next thing i know it was time to leave!!! We never went to a park or anything! I was so heartbroken, I remember crying in the room, packing to leave....omg...PERISH the thought!

So, have i fallen off the deep end...or are there OTHERS out there like me??

Thanks all, Gina

LOL! Yes! The other week I was obsessing about ressies and the night before my 90 day window I had a dream that I overslept and when I called I was so unorganized that I didn't know what days I wanted which reservation. I thought I was so ridiculous!

I decided that I needed to back off the planning a little

Yep, been there before! Mostly, bad dreams about losing our AP's and not being able to get another one. Also, dreams like yours where we never made it to a park. Thankfully, I've had no bad dreams before this upcoming trip.....at least not yet!

Have a great time! We will be there on the 28th to celebrate my dd's 7th birthday.

Yep... the nightmare came true too... my daughter was sick a day or so before we were leaving & had our tkts to MNSSHP. The night before we left I noticed all tiny red spots on her back, chest.... it was chicken pox!!! My little Cinderella had the chicken pox. We went as planned. Our first night up there was bad, after that it wasn't too bad. The doc said it was ok for her to go, just to keep light clothing on her to cover them & not allow her in a pool.. so that is what we did... that was a real nightmare come true.

We also had a "real" nightmare with our 4 y/o DD this past May. On night 3 she was up coughing, short of breath, and feverish all night. Chose to wait it out the night and took her to the walk-in clinic (right off Disney property) at 8am in the morning. They gave her a breathing treatment along with Tylenol, and antibiotic (which she threw up all over ) and then decided that she should go to the hospital. I got to the hospital (semi-hysterical, my DH back at the hotel with the 2 other kids), they proceeded to give her several more breathing treatments, IV antibiotics and oxygen. They decided to admit her, but the Children's hospital is in downtown Orlando, so they wanted to transport her via ambulance but the hospital had no beds available!! TO try to make this shorter: after being in the ER for 14 hours (and still no room to transfer her to the children's hospital) I convinced them to let me take her back to the hotel and care for her there.
Bottom line: It stinks being far from home with a sick kid!! Wouldn't wish it on anybody!!

I had them constantly last summer when I was planning our first family WDW trip and started to lose tons of sleep, I actually had to get a sleep aid because I began losing so much sleep!

I'm laughing. The night before I was to call for our ADRs I woke up screaming. I was speaking with a CM on the phone (or maybe in person, but not sure how that would happen) trying to make ADRs and screaming, THIS IS MORE PAINFUL THAN GIVING BIRTH AND I RIPPED IN HALF TWICE!!!!! My DH got a big kick out of it all and I was thrilled it was only a nightmare. ADRs, Wishes Cruise, breakfast at the castle, Pirate Cruise, etc. were all very easy. Got everything we wanted with very little issue.

We also are planning our DD's 2nd birthday trip. Her birthday is on the 28th and I'm stressing about this trip. We are staying at the CR, I'm afraid we are going to get a horrible dirty room that we can hear banging all the time from the renovations. That we will have to wait 2 hours for ME, then another 8 for our luggage. When we eat DD"s birthday dinner at CM, they will forget and she will not get anything and to top it all off I hear there are some "disturbances" out in the Carribbean. Wait, this is supposed to be a vacation. Right?
