My two questions:
(Non-Disney Related) Can any mommy's give me advice / encouragement on how to handle the 'twos'? Belle is starting to say no to everything, fall out on the floor in public and hide behind the couch (where we cannot get to her) when she doesn't want to leave the house, go in time out, change her diaper, ect.
(Disney Related) How late can I add travel insurance to our trip?
I think you might have to re book the trip. Call WDW and ask.
My DS was an angel at the age of two, and he was and still is all boy. I could take him to the store and he would ask for things, and all I would have to say is maybe next time. DD well... I am sorry to say girls are just so much darn harder. We must be born with a witch gene. Yes, I said it. DD was the same way Bella. I would say ok what am I doing different with this one.
Pull my hair out sometimes.
I would pick her and put her in her room, if we were home. It really is just a phase they go through, and you have to hang in there. She is just showing her independent women gene, to make choices, which she can not express correctly at this age. By time my DD was three, she was more manageable.
Though DD is a Taurus the bull! So darn bull headed. I dont know if you believe in the zodiac signs, but there is a certain way they say that each child under a sign should be parented. My friend who was really into it gave me a book to read one time. All I have to say is, I was amazed by it and could not put it down.
Thanks for the heads up. My Husband and I just read your post and called Disney to request a specific building. The CM told us that Trinidad North (building 31) was preferred due to its proximity to Old Port Royal and the Bus Stop (not because of the view, he said it could be parking lot or beach). He said the best shot at having a good view from a preferred room (courtyard or beach) was Martinique (building 25). So we requested Martinique 25 or 26. Sorry you didnt have a better view, but thanks again for the advice.
Yes, I should have put in a request. You just assume that if you book before anyone else and pay extra they are going to give you the best room available.
Since we drove to Fla. we had a nice parking spot!
Though we did not drive the car when we were there. Live and learn. You will enjoy it.
That's the plan!
I've been turning down offers for almost a year now. I've pretty much just decided not to tell anybody how much money we're spending on this trip, so they can't judge me.
I just tell people, "We got 40% off our room!" They don't have to know how much we're paying with the discount. I did have to keep myself from booking the Platinum Plan though!
I have not told any family yet, just for this reason. DH is the only one who knows about the trip besides me, oh and all of you! I dont want to hear AGAIN from everyone. Plus, they would say something in front of the kids and ruining my surprise. But I do have to ask my niece soon to dog sit.
Last night I got my triptix and guide books from
AAA!
So exciting - personalized maps, huge (like 3 inch thick) books - one for Mid-Atlantic, one for N & S Carolina and one for GA & Florida. Listings of EVERYTHING between here and there.
The TripTix thing is really neat - lots of detail for the drive. My favorite direction on a page was "turn onto I95, drive for 368.6 miles"
The trip is really real! Now I have to make my hotel reservations for the drive back and forth and make the rest of my ADRs. 10 more weeks - seems like a long time, but the holidays are going to make the time fly by!
Sharon, Too funny. I-95 is so long. We drove last August. It was not bad, we would do it again, if we had the days to spend on the road. We stayed at a La Quinta in Lake Mary Fla. the night before checking into CBR. It was very nice and clean, and in a safe area. We did not make a reservation ahead of time, because we were not sure how far we were going to make it driving.
We had a couple places a long the way written down, just in case. It is only about 15 miles from WDW.
I'm kidding about the bad part.... well sort of.
