I'm a lurker but I'm going the same time you guys are. Did you hear about the swine flu case reported at disneyworld this morning?!?!? Are you guys panicking at all or is it just me?

Hi! We are practically neighbours, lol!

I hadn't heard about that. Off to go research!

Here is the link for the swine flu info at at Disney

I think you should all be fine if you practice good hygene. Bring lots of Purell and Clorox wipes.

 

[passthepixiedust]

Okay, all caught up!

No, I am not particularly nervous, I mean, it's just a flu. Which sucks, but really, how many flus did I get exposed to this winter? Now that I said that, you KNOW I am the one who is gonna spend 3 days in bed all flu-ish on vacation, right?

Where are you staying, luvmyhusband?

 

[rentayenta]

Woohooo on the ADR's Jenny and what room did you request at POR?

I meant building requests. I requested 14 or 18. Keep your fingers crossed! When Michael and I were watching the planning DVD and the Mom's Panel part came on, I told him that one of my DIS/FB friends got selected (you) and he seemed genuinely impressed- as he should be.

How sweet that all the family are getting so excited!

Chloe made a paper chain and when she took off this morning's and counted only 11 left she almost passed out!

EHMMM, EHMMM, sniff, sniff....definately nothing serious but I wouldn't want to spread it to the congregation on Sunday



Donny's trying to scare me into going on Sunday by saying that I may incur the wrath of God for telling lies and not goinf to church by not get any of the ADR's that I want in retribution...."Am I bovvered?!?!?!"

Here is my take sweets. My guess is that this cannot be the owrst thing you have ever done so the wrath was coming regardless.

Awww! Disney brings out the kid in all of us!

Totally!

We'll check in periodically as I'll have my laptop with us. You guys can play "guess what Jenna & Jenny are doing right at this moment" or "which one of Jenna's kids is begging for something that he/she is NOT going to get?" Or my favorite...."is Jenna speaking to Nate at this part of the trip?"

Or we can play: How many bottles of Rum are left? We are bringing our laptop but to upload photos.

The boys are technically "allowed" 3 illegal absences per year. After 3 you have to visit the magistrate & you get fined $75.00 per day. It's ridiculous! 2 extra days aren't going to kill them! It's not like they don't get straight A's or Chris isn't in the gifted reading program or anything. Oh, and one of the days Jon will be missing is a field trip day anyway.

I got nothing sugar. The kids school is being so awesome! They are allowing Chloe to test early and Gab and Joshua to test late.

I can't believe they make you pay for missing days of school.

I don't know about your school but since we finished our testing they really haven't been working all that hard. This late in year is much easier. We have less that a month left. Our kids get out May 21st.

I can understand the not being able to sleep faze. Too many thoughts running amok.

The excitement and reality that we'll be in Disney is 1 week and 4 days has hit hard!

Of course! Especially since the school only gets funding for the days kids are actually in school.....

Jon is on his second round of state testing. They are scheduled from yesterday until May 8th, which is why we chose the dates we did. I knew he would be done after the 8th and wouldn't have to go through the hassle of a make-up test.

Our last day is now June 10th. It was originally around the 5th but we have more snow days to make-up.

I am a bad mom and chose right in the middle of testing.

You know what sounds even cooler than 12 days? ONE WEEK AND FIVE DAYS!

Try one week and 4 days!

Really just think about all the things you are exposed to anyway on a regular trip to Disney or even just going to the grocery store. Have you ever heard what is on those things?

I am SO not going to stress over this swine flu.

Now you aren't. We will all be fine.

 

[pooh'smate]

I am SO not going to stress over this swine flu.
Now you aren't. We will all be fine.

I wouldn't either. Now go and have a great time.

 

[rentayenta]

Okay I called my doc and his receptionist said that docs are asking people to wear masks even outside if you have been somewhere with confirmed swine flu.

 

[rentayenta]

I wouldn't either. Now go and have a great time.

Now I am worrying. I am going to convince him to give us one of the anti-biotics to take in case we get symptoms while there.

 

[pooh'smate]

You will all be ok. If you can bring the antibiotics then do it. It is always better to be safe than sorry.

 

[luvmyhusband]

I'm staying at PoP this time, We ARE practically neighbors passthepixiedust! hows the "New Moon" filming going? Anyway, I didn't mean to get anyone upset about the swine flu, it's just that being a nurse, I know how fast things can change in two weeks. If we were going tomorrow I wouldn't think anything of it.

 

[Bev1016]

Hi all!
Your trip is so close! I'm trying to emotionally prepare for all of you being gone for so long.
I'm looking forward to hearing all of your restaurant reviews--you're going to a lot of places I've never been to.

 

[jenna]

Oh great! Another thing to worry about!

I've already packed anti-bacterial hand wipes and Purell in the murse. I was bringing those even before the swine flu scare.

Maybe people will get scared & change their plans & the parks won't be as crowded!

Official: No Swine Flu Case In Orlando
Health Department Says Lab Results Not Finalized

POSTED: Tuesday, April 28, 2009
UPDATED: 12:19 pm EDT April 28, 2009



ORLANDO, Fla. -- Despite reports of a case of swine flu in Orlando, the Orange County Health Department director told Local 6 News the case has not been confirmed.


Special Section | Local Precautions |VIDEO: Alerts Issued | Obama On Outbreak | Interactive Map |FAQs | Survey


Dr. Kevin Sherin from the Orange County Health Department said there has not been any confirmed cases of swine flu in Orlando.

Someone who may have visited Mexico and returned to Orlando was tested for swine flu, but the results have not come back from the state lab in Jacksonville, Sherin said. The test was sent out Monday night.

A local TV station reported Tuesday morning that there was a confirmed case of swine flu at the Florida Hospital.

Sherin said people who think they have the virus are flooding hospitals, but this is the first case of a patient presenting flu like symptoms that are compelling enough to test further.

There are now 50 confirmed American cases of swine flu: 28 at a New York City high school, 13 others in California, six in Texas, two in Kansas and one in Ohio. Only one of those has led to a hospitalization.

In New York, the school reporting all the state's flu victims is closed for now. In northern Ohio, a school reporting one student with the disease is closed for the week. Ohio school officials said a cleaning crew has been sanitizing doorknobs, desktops and telephones.

Some schools are also closed in Texas, California and South Carolina.

Elsewhere, there are signs that the public is taking precautions. Pharmacies in Manhattan say paper facemasks have been selling by the box.

In Illinois, students at a Chicago school have been told not to shake hands with anyone. And residents of Guadalupe County, Texas, are being asked to avoid public gatherings and stay home if they feel ill.

That reminds me, what am I doing at work when I could be out stalking, um, I mean admiring, young vampires?!?!
I am refusing to stress about the flu myself, so no worries!

Hi all!
Your trip is so close! I'm trying to emotionally prepare for all of you being gone for so long.
I'm looking forward to hearing all of your restaurant reviews--you're going to a lot of places I've never been to.

Aww Bev.... I will try and pop online to say hi to you!

 

[luvmyhusband]

Maybe the parks WILL be less crowded! I'll wear a mask if they make us; less makeup to put on. Say hi to those sexy vampires for everyone else, you lucky dog!

I was just coming over to tell you that they have recanted their story. Their are no confirmed cases of the swine flu.

Yay for the ADR's on Sunday!! Boo that it is right during church!


Tell Big D he can call then and if he doesn't get the ADR's you want, then he'll face the wrath of you!

I'll be holding you to your posting promise coz I'm a bit sad like that

Big D is of the opinion that I do not need to phone as soon as the phones open, that 45mins will not make that much difference...have I taught the boy nothing. If we left if up to him I'd need to write everything down and he'd still get it wrong

Chloe made a paper chain and when she took off this morning's and counted only 11 left she almost passed out!





Here is my take sweets. My guess is that this cannot be the owrst thing you have ever done so the wrath was coming regardless.



Are you suggesting that I have had a mis-spent youth.....how very dare you


Try one week and 4 days!

That reminds me, what am I doing at work when I could be out stalking, um, I mean admiring, young vampires?!?!
I am refusing to stress about the flu myself, so no worries!


Aww Bev.... I will try and pop online to say hi to you!

Yeah Tracy, what are you doing with your life, the sexy undead are walking your streets and not even tried for a wee peek..I'm very disappointed in you

Maybe the parks WILL be less crowded! I'll wear a mask if they make us; less makeup to put on. Say hi to those sexy vampires for everyone else, you lucky dog!

Glass is HALF FULL....you are definately my kind of gal, there is always a silver lining to be had

 

[rentayenta]

You will all be ok. If you can bring the antibiotics then do it. It is always better to be safe than sorry.

That's my thinking. I would hate to have to use instacare.

I am SO jealous! I really wanted to stay at the Pop!

Hi all!
Your trip is so close! I'm trying to emotionally prepare for all of you being gone for so long.
I'm looking forward to hearing all of your restaurant reviews--you're going to a lot of places I've never been to.

I can't imagine that between me, Jenna, and Tracy we won't get at little DIS time in.

Oh great! Another thing to worry about!

I know, right?!

I've already packed anti-bacterial hand wipes and Purell in the murse. I was bringing those even before the swine flu scare.

Looks like I'll be needing more.

Maybe people will get scared & change their plans & the parks won't be as crowded!

So far so good...................for now.

We are going to wear masks on the plane. Planes are germ infested normally now add this flu and I may as well be French kissing infected swine.




Kirsteen, I am sure you were an absolute angel during your youth and before marriage. Just like I was.

Thanks for that visual! I spit iced tea all over my laptop after reading that! (Not about wearing the masks- that's smart, but the French kissing a pig part!)

Again, peeing my pants in laughter! Emma wants to know what I'm laughing at.
