just added some info in red...are you driving your rental or taking Disney transportation when you hop? hopping can take up to an hour if you are taking bus/monorail, plus you have to go through bag check everytime, make sure to pad your travel time for any ADR's you have to check in 15 minutes early if possible!

 

[Jakentysmom]

Thank you so much for those suggestions. I have NO idea what im doing so anything helps haha. I just assumed we would be driving our rental car. Would that be easier than taking the public transportation? And I had no idea our breakfast would go longer. I just assumed it was a quick in and out.

We might can fantasmic and not go if we want more time at epcot...or if we are tired, we may just do fantasmic and not go to epcot...that part is a little iffy. How long is fantasmic?

Oh and dinner on Sunday...i had no idea...I thought we would just grab something and go. Would we still have enough time if we did CS?

The only ADR we have is Tuskers and we are staying on site at AK so I figure it wouldnt take too long to get there?

We had an 8:20 at Tusker house and we got out after 9. The characters came through one at a time, and had little parades through the dining areas so it was about an hour before we all ate and met all the characters. Then we went right for the Safari, but grabbed fast passes then got in line so we could go twice. My boys LOVED it, they would have ridden it all day if we had let them.

driving will be quicker, but depending on when you arrive it could be quite the hike to the turnstiles...and at MK you have to take either the monorail or the ferry boat from the parking lot to the turnstiles.

I would plan on a hour for Tusker house, most character buffets we've been to it usually takes at least an hour for them to make the rounds.

Fantasmic is 40 minutes, but you need to get in line for it early to get the better viewing seats, at least 1 hour if the parks are busy.

you should be okay to do CS on Sunday, or you could hop over to MK then eat.

[Jakentysmom]

Well I havent been around much. Not much going on over here other than sickness Jacob has strep throat right now! NOT good!! He had such a high fever. Just made me so sad. He looked so sick.

So we also decided that it was time to start the process for a service dog for Jacob. He is only getting worse and its starting to get necessary for him. We are getting a seizure response dog. If anyone is interested in keeping up with him and his progress in getting a dog, we made a facebook page.

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jacobs-journey-in-getting-a-service-dog/406117766151811

AHHH the doorbell just rang and it was some mickey mail!!! YAY!! It always comes at a good time. Jake was SO HAPPY So more pictures to come soon.

 

[angel's momma]

So sorry he's been sick. Praying he feels better very soon. How exciting to be looking into getting a service dog. Yay for Mickey Mail.

 

[angel's momma]

I don't have my own FB account, but Angel liked the page, so we'll be following.

 

[mommy2mrb]

hope Jake's feeling better! hope he will be able to get his service dog soon! what a wonderful gift that will be for him!

 

[Jakentysmom]

Sorry its taken so long to update. We have been super busy around here. Jacob has been non stop sick and almost had to get admitted but we stayed away from that Here are the mickey mail we have gotten. I just want to thank everyone who has blessed our family. You will never know how much we really appreciate everything you have done. This experience has humbled me a lot knowing that there are great people out there that would make a trip this wonderful for people they dont even know. I love you guys!!!

I am sorry I dont know the names of the people who made some of these things. The packages are long gone and I dont know what the kids did with the cards. Tyler loves cards and so im sure he took them and put them somewhere.

This first one we got 2 packages! This was from the last post. It was awesome. The kids LOVE the football and the figurines are so fun. They dont want to open it until the plane ride to use and pretend they are all in disneyworld haha. Cute kids!

This next one was awesome. She made little bags for the kids full of fun activities. The bags are so cute...they have their first initial on a cute little tag.

This next one is from the lady who gave Jacob the umbrella holder. I was so excited for these. They are a little bag and a net holder for his wheelchair!! Jacob was SO EXCITED to get these. We cant wait to use them. We put the bag on and it works great!!

Again, thank you so much everyone we surely have been blessed!!
