Magicians & Jugglers & a Clown Slide, OH MY! We're going to the BWI... A Nov 2010 PTR

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Shelly, I think I am gonna take some Excedrine when I am on the plane...especially because our sleep is going to be so messed up due to our early early flight.....I notice it starts to creep up during the line for ME!!! So, I think if I take something before we land it may help---the last two or three trips I have taken it after we checked in and are eating dinner....waaaay to late!! Already exploding by then....maybe we won't have one this year
(I love this little tiptoe guy!! Which is how I feel when discussing headaches!!!) OH!! I paid our trip off yesterday too!!!!

I was thinking of taking Excedrin on the plane, but I have never taken it that early before. And since I don't eat breakfast I'm not sure how it would effect me. . .

But, like you I have waited too long to take something on arrival day in the past and it was already into a full blown nauseating migraine and there was no stopping it by then.

Nurse Jo suggests a decongestant, a coke (Or Mtn Dew!) and an Excedrin right before the flight.
Then another Excedrin once you land with some water. Lots and lots and lots of water during the flight as well. You tend to get dehydrated during flights, which will cause an exploding migraine.

Okay, Nurse Jo! Is it really safe to take all that? At a VERY early hour in the morning?

That's probably part of my problem then, I never drink anything on the plane. I don't want to have to make trips to the tiny airplane potty!

Yes Ma'am!! And by the way,...which decongestant do you recommend? Some of them I can take just fine, some make me sleeeeeepy and some make my heart race!!!!! LOL....whadya think? We have to leave here by 4:30...our flight is at 7:30 and we are between an hour and a half to two hours from Houston.....so, should I just take all of it on the plane or what?

We are trusting you with our first day of vacation!!!

Sorry I have been so absent this week on your PTR! I have been so busy at work...going to catch up now. Congrats on being paid in full! I love that feeling!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Let's talk about Epcot!

We all love Epcot very much and are so excited to be staying so close to it! We are not getting park hoppers, so we are leaving 3-4 of our 8 day tickets open for Epcot. Some of those days we will get there at rope drop. Some we will go later in the day. Some we will go in the morning and walk back to the BWI for a rest and then stroll back over to Epcot later. It's going to be great!


Rides/Shows/Attractions we always do at Epcot:
Soarin
Test Track
El Rio del Tiempo
Maelstrom
The Seas with Nemo
Living with the Land
Spaceship Earth
Visit all the countries!

Rides/Shows/Attractions we usually do at Epcot:
Innoventions East & West
Journey Into Imagination with Figment
ImageWorks
Mission Space
IllumiNations

Rides/Shows/Attractions we did once and have not done again at Epcot:
Nothing comes to mind. . . other than Mission Space for me, but I did give it 2 tries. Never again.

Rides/Shows/Attractions we have never done at Epcot:
Ellen's Energy Adventure
Turtle Talk with Crush
Circle of Life film
Norway film
Reflections of China
The American Adventure
Impressions de France
Oh Canada


Since we will be spending so much time at Epcot we plan on doing everything!!


So what do you think?

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

Sorry I have been so absent this week on your PTR! I have been so busy at work...going to catch up now. Congrats on being paid in full! I love that feeling!

I wondered where you had been! No worries, I have actually been very absent from my own PTR this week. Don't you just hate when work gets in the way of Disney?!

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

sounds good!! I too have us walking back and forth several nights!! It's just too great not to! I enjoy it...Epcot is more laidback so its great to go for dinner...explore a country and walk back home without waiting for a bus or monorail!!!!

 

[Pluto_fan]

Epcot!
We all enjoy the O Canada movie. Looks like you guys usually skip all the movies...I think we've seen them all at some point, but not every trip. Hey, you left off Captain EO. I know I saw that one a loooong time ago but don't really remember it.

I met a young man yesterday and he looked SO familiar. Looking at your pictures just now it hit me--he looks like your DS11! Just so you know, your DS has a twin in Belgium.

That's just what I was thinking -- It's just too great not to! I am going to take full advantage of staying so close to Epcot!

Yes, no one has ever been too interested in the films at Epcot. With more Epcot time this will be the perfect opportunity to try them! And since we are going there several days it's not like we will have to see them all at once.

I did forget all about Captain EO. I don't know if I'm too interested in it though. . . We'll see. . .

OMG that is too funny!! Well they say we all have a twin out there!

You talking about being so close to Epcot staying at the BW makes me want to change our resort , oh I wonder if it is even possible ? ut oh I think I might be in trouble now , but I do so love when we stayed at YC and could walk back and forth to Epcot, I doubt if my pin is still good , but I just have to check the public % off offer and see what is available , I could just change it all and surprise everyone

I think we have done all the countries and movies, but I know we always duck out of the one in Norway each time now, love the ride hate the movie

Love your PTR it is getting me more and more excited!

* Hmm no Villas available for my dates at Beach Club or Boardwalk , but I do think I might just keep checking

 

[jenjolt]

Hmmm...I love the idea of doing everything in EPCOT and being that close really makes it possible!!!!

Love the pictures of the boys and all the cool WS hats!! TOO CUTE!

Keep trying! Did you call and see if your pin is still good? It probably is! When I booked I was told that even though my pin was expiring as long as I booked something (before it expired) I could make any changes I wanted to later and still use the pin. And when I recently added on the extra night they did honor the 40% off!

Good luck!

Hmmm...I love the idea of doing everything in EPCOT and being that close really makes it possible!!!!

You will be able to in January!!

Thanks Jen!

I am really excited to see the BWI pics when you get back and hear all about how amazing being that close to Epcot was for you guys. We are thinking of renting points at BWV when we go at Christmas. But, what we do next year with our GC credits is still up in the air..... Can't wait to hear about how much you loved it

Epcot

Love it so much.

I think the boys would love Turtle Talk- it's so cute!

The Canada film made me siiiiiick. Circlevisison and I do not get along. Plus it was hot and I wanted to sit down. The bars to lean on didn't help me at all. If I tried really hard to focus on one of the screens I thought the scenery was beautiful.

Lucky girl, staying so close to Epcot and being able to walk as often as you want.

Here's a 49 days dance-- I think that's the count if I'm right--


Okay the meds- take Sudafed- the low dose one - that is the 4-6 hr one. You dont' have to get it behind the pharmacy counter. It's safe to take all of it together- just always always make sure you eat soemthing before you ever take anything like Excedrin, Aleve, Tylenol, Advil. It will cause stomach upset- (I'm talking ulcers). Doesn't have to be anything big- a piece of fruit, yogurt, a bagel-- anything to coat your tummy. And yes, water. It is so very important when flying. In fact I usually don't drink anything caffienated ON the flight- always before and immediately after with my Excedrin.



I hope it works this time for you guys.

Have a good night. Enjoying the update.

I was just thinking this same thing, my travel agent is going to be so mad at me

 

[Disneymommy2006]

Just found your report and I am all caught up so I am joining!!!

 

[Disney Mommy 3]

thank you Jo! I will put this on my Disney packing list!!!

Thanks Jen!

Wow did not know that, In April when I added the night they did honor it , I was so afraid when I cancelled the night when air fares came out they would charge me for downgradeing but luckily they did not.
Might have to run the idea of changeing by everyone, I did sorta mention it to DH yesterday while we were out shopping but honestly I don't think what I said sunk in , you know how DH can be

I just knew you would love the Epcot update!

We have never timed it right to see Turtle Talk. And the boys never want to wait around for it. Hopefully we will time it right this trip!

So if the Canada film is circlevision, isn't China too? That doesn't sound all that pleasant. And standing too?

Thanks for the 49 day dance!! Yep - it was 7 weeks yesterday!!

Thanks for the advice on the meds! Hope it works!!

I was just thinking this same thing, my travel agent is going to be so mad at me

Did you call???

Yes, I know how the DH can be.

Let us know what you decide!!
