March 2016 PTR - How do we keep this a secret? -Uptd The Surprise!!! Pg 8

[Jasperann]

They actually make waterproof casts now. I had to have one about 10 years ago when I was working a summer camp. You might ask the doctor about it when you go.

That is awesome!! She would need that type!! This is the first time any of my kids has had a possible broken bone... and it had to be my 19 year old.

Surely there will be some kind of assistance for you?

I was doing some research after posting and it has an area where I can request a wheelchair to/from the gate, as well as assistance with seating. So That is one less thing to worry about.

As of late I have started doing a wardrobe chart instead. Each Person has a column Each day has a Row. Fill in the planned wardrobe for that day in each box. This has been helpful in 2 ways, FIrst off It helps to ensure that you aren't over or under packing. It helps everyone make the final choices for the day while there. It also then acts as a pack list. I would also normally have a few lists going on my dry erase board and other places but we haven't gotten those set up at the new house yet. (Its now driving me crazy not having my board to take notes on! LOL)

I like that idea!!! I have a sort of list like that for my kids. I have 1-9 on a piece of paper and then I wrote out what they would wear each day. It has helped me know who needs more clothes and who is just fine. It is the extras I'm worried about forgetting.

 

[Jasperann]

So, Eric came home from work Sick... which means he is REALLY sick. He has what DS9 had last Monday. If my other kids or myself are going to get this I hope it is soon. Why is it only when we are planning a trip to Disney I hope people get sick before we go? That is kind of twisted. At this point it is just Murphy's law.

 

[Jasperann]

If it wasn't bad enough with me changing our Fastpasses... I just got an e-mail from Disney saying they changed my FP for Buzz our first day to a FP to Jungle cruise. Now I need to see if I need to change a Jungle Cruise FP for later in the trip. Sigh. I hope Buzz isn't going to be down my whole trip. I'll be especially sad. It is a family favorite.

NOOOOooooooooooo!!!!!

YOu've changed your FPs?

Ugh I will be bummed if that happens to us.

 

[Jasperann]

YOu've changed your FPs?

I will have to see if they are the same FP's that I shared on here. Because some of them I was tinkering with before sharing that day's plans on here... Oh and I also made a Crystal Palace breakfast for our first full MK day (the day we have BOG breakfast for prepark), but I canceled it, because DH was not keen with the 1030am time and missing so much park time. I originally was going to put it up for vote with my kids because I thought it would be cute with all of them Disney bounding as Pooh, Eeyore, Piglet and Tigger for them to meet them... now I will just make due with meeting Pooh and Tigger.

Ugh I will be bummed if that happens to us.

I found that it is down the 5th or 6th till the 10th. So you should be good!! And I'm just going to need to ride it a million times our last MK day. Right now that day is planned as a half MK day and half AK day... that may be changing. Poor AK it always gets the back burner.

Woohoo!!! The weather looks amazing! I am hoping for a little bit of clouds though. Because the hives I get are painful and I'm not looking forward to that. But since those are unavoidable it seems... I will deal with it the best I can and enjoy the weather.

DD19 said that she is doing a little bit of walking around her dorm room and she can tell that her leg is healing. So I am hopeful that the next few days it can heal fully. We will know more after Friday. I do have the back up plan of a scooter though. But if we do not need it then that would be extra spending money.

Now my 'updated' FP's and ADRs... I'm sure some may change as we go through our trip.

This morning while taking the kids to school we were running late due to the crappy ice and snow we got last night... and that put the kids on the topic of them not missing classes this year (so far) and how they would have perfect attendance at the end of the year. Of course they would think about something like that days before our trip. When they will be missing school. After the girls got out of the car I asked my DS how he would feel if he missed school before the end of the year. (He has a touch of autism so when he gets fixated on something... if it is different sometimes it does not turn out so well. He is very high functioning and he does well for the most part with things. It's just if he is fixated on something...) He replied that he would be very sad and upset. I am so hoping the the thought of going to Disney deters that and he doesn't have a melt down when we do the surprise. That would be a video...

But that also brought up the fact that we would NOT be riding Buzz as our first ride of the trip... Oh no... it's his favorite. So I casually.... said, "If we ever went to Disney world what would be the first ride you would want to ride if Buzz was not running?" His response was "It's a Small World!!!!" I had no clue he loved that ride so much... So I was like, "Really? It's a small world?" Then he changed his mind, "No, Peter Pan!!" I can see he may like that one a bit more, so I asked, "Peter Pan?" He was like, "Mom, it is the one with the flying ship, you remember? You go over the city and you see Hook getting ate by tick tock croc." I mean duh... He really thought I had no clue. I'm so amused by him. But it's a good thing that I have him thinking already about a back up ride. But that does mean that Jungle Cruise May be switched out for a Peter Pan. I'm not sure yet. Because I know he likes Jungle Cruise and really I can torture my DD19 with It's a small world for our very first ride!!! She wouldn't ride it on her graduation trip, she actually dug her heals in and would not budge when I tried to get her onto it. Good times.

We will be at the airport at this time, in 6 days. Probably just finishing some not Disney breakfast... And bouncing off the walls with excitement!!

I need to get the rest of the stuff so I can pack it up!

Sending healing thoughts her way!

Uh oh! If the conversation comes up again I'd prep him with the concept of missing school by talking about general reasons why you would end up missing it.

I've been following along for a couple of weeks now, but don't think I've ever commented. I'm so excited for you guys! Please do a trip report so we can hear how it all went!

 

[cajunfan]

Not sure about the loading/unloading on the plane/airport, but call your local airport and ask...and check with your airline.

Scooter Rentals...I rented one for the first time last May. I learned a lot! First rent one from a dealer that drops off at luggage services on Disney Property (I used ScooterBug). Second, get the INSURANCE...trust me on this...they are a lot harder to drive than they look (no brakes) and people step in front of you all the time! Before you all head anywhere, have her practice driving (include reversing) before you head anywhere. Know that there is a "switch" of sorts that puts it in neutral so that it can be moved without the key by just pushing. Buses...don't worry about what others think. Learn the magic words of I need help parking the scooter. Most bus drivers are extremely helpful...I did run into one that was downright hateful. But most were helpful. She will need to be able to drive the scooter onto the bus, most drivers will then help you park it. (some may ask you to get off and take the key and then move it in the neutral position to the parking spot. , some may just ask you to hold your hands close to your body and they will steer it while it is on.) Disney prefers for the rider to be off the scooter for the bus trip. I normally stayed on it if the bus was really crowded. Just seriously have her watch out for people that will just walk out in front of her...this totally amazed me! Bring her crutches along, as there are some places she will have to walk. No need for a special pass. There are procedures and/or spots for wheelchairs and scooters at every ride. Some may be to park the scooter outside and walk the entrance to the ramp (like Tower of Terror), some may give you a time to come back to the FP line (then they let you in a special entrance (Jungle Cruise), and some you can take the scooter in until you get on the ride/loading zone (Soarin). It just varies. Ask the first CM you see at the attraction to find out what you need to do.

I am going to need to do something to prep him. He was very serious when he said he would be sad. I think he will be okay, but you never know with him.

Thank you for posting!! I do want to do a trip report! I am going to try to take notes. Doing this PTR really has helped me want to do a TR.

Hi!! Thank you so much for all the tips!! I can imagine that people do just walk in front of people in scooters. We went once with my mom and step dad and my step dad was threatening to run people over before the end of the day. My daughter has been 'practicing' walking with one crutch. So I think as long as she has the one and the scooter (if we need either one) then we will be good.

I was looking into one of the scooter places that drop off at bell service. Did you have any issues with the battery dying while in the parks? Do they hold up for the parks pretty well?

I have a friend that works for TSA at the airport we fly from and she told me to just grab a wheel chair before security and then she can just use that until we get to the airplane. Then they will assist getting her on the plane from there. I'm hoping it is as easy as it sounds.

 

[cajunfan]

I had no issues with the battery dying in the parks. But I did get one that had an extended range battery (I think?) ...I will go look at the invoice and let you know. We did charge every night in the room. There are also places you can strategically charge throughout the parks (although I am not real sure of locations and convenience since I did not need them)...okay, I have apparently deleted my emails from then. I will check with my friend who is a travel agent...went through her for the scooter rental. But I believe most of them offer a long range or heavy duty battery option. Just check with whatever vendor you use. And btw, I had reserved my scooter before we arrived and it was waiting when we checked into the hotel. We went to MK that first day and just walking to Columbia Harbor House made someone in our party realize he really needed one too. So we ordered one while we were eating lunch, then left MK went back to the hotel and his was there waiting on him already.

This is great news!! My daughter came home last night and we just got back from shopping. She left her crutches here at home and did okay (she has a slight limp). But it is good to know that if when we get there she needs one that we will be good to order it that day. It is hard being on the fence about it.

Looks like I'm getting some clouds. But still beautiful temps. I'm so excited.

On the home front... My DD12 came home from school sick today, with the same thing that DH and DS has had. I am feeling like I'm starting to get it as well. Which doesn't bode well for work tomorrow. If my other two DDs are going to get it I hope it is before we leave... Being sick in Disney isn't fun, we've done that.

And as I stated above my oldest DD is currently walking without the help of crutches. She is still a little sore but I think she is healing more and more. She is happy about that because that means she can go on water slides. She was very concerned about missing out on that. She does have her official doctors visit tomorrow to get a follow up from the ER visit.

We did a bit of shopping today and finally found a pair of sandals for my DD19 and myself. We picked out the same ones because they are comfy, but they are ugly... Not Crocs ugly, but still not pretty. She also found a new bathing suit top. Now I only need to take my DD11 shopping for a few more pairs of shorts. I think we are going to go to walmart after school for her to get her friend a present and while we are there I will suggest we look at the shorts and see if any fit. Then I will buy the ones that fit 'before they sell out'.

 

[NewDisneyFam]

5 more sleeps!! Woo hoo! We are super excited here. I haven't check in for a while and am so bummed for your daughter. Glad to hear it is healing and she won't miss out on everything.

I woke up sick yesterday myself . I am hoping that it is what my husband and daughter had a week or so ago and no one else gets it. I'm with you and would rather be sick now if I have to be lol. Except I have zero energy to be cleaning and packing.

I have been working finishing my kiddos autograph books! I'm a pretty crafty person, so this was super fun for me. I'll see if I can upload a file. I don't do a lot of posting on here lol.

Can't wait to hear how this last few days goes and the surprise!

 

[Jasperann]

5 more sleeps!! Woo hoo! We are super excited here.

I love looking at our countdown and realizing we have 4 days and 15 hours before we are waking up to leave for Disney!! This part is one of my favorite parts of our trip, even though we aren't there yet.

I haven't check in for a while and am so bummed for your daughter. Glad to hear it is healing and she won't miss out on everything.

I know! I'm also thankful she is healing.

Being sick does take away the energy, that is for sure. I just told my DD19 that when I get home on Sunday at 1pm that we will need to clean the house. Because coming home to a dirty home is not something I want to do. Everything looks so much dirtier when you come back home.

I have been working finishing my kiddos autograph books! I'm a pretty crafty person, so this was super fun for me. I'll see if I can upload a file. I don't do a lot of posting on here lol.

Those are super cute!! I love the autograph books. I am the type that 'thinks' I'm crafty so I buy all the stuff to be crafty (I bought over 150.00 stuff last year for scrapbooking, most of it on sale.) but I never use the stuff... I've done one page of my scrapbooking page... And I've ordered about 100 pictures to put into the book (not all of them will fit), but that is about as far as I've gone with the idea.

Can't wait to hear how this last few days goes and the surprise!

We are SO excited for the surprise!! My DH has started to talk about Disney and I had to tell him he needs to stop or he will ruin the surprise. I'm the one that talks about Disney all the time, not him. He just answers when I talk, he doesn't normally start Disney conversations.

But it is very soon!!! 4 more sleeps and a few more hours and we will be surprising them!!!

My husband thinks I'm crazy for much I clean before we leave on a trip! He doesn't understand why it has to be clean for us to no live in it for a week lol.

Yay!!

 

[NewDisneyFam]

Speaking of said daughter, she got a call back from Cedar point and the theater department they have, they did an over the phone interview. She is trying to intern there for the summer so that she can apply for the Disney College Program and have some theme park experience. She said it went well, so I'm excited for her. It is about a three hour drive from here, but if we get season passes I can go and see her at least once a week.

I meant to say before that working at Cedar Point would be awesome! I hope she gets the job. I love The Point. My brother and I used to go every summer. Then I got pregnant so no roller coasters. Then kids. Yeah. Solo trips are tough lol. My husband isn't into big rides so it isn't worth taking him haha.

Looks like we traded a bit! Wanna shove another sunny day or two my way? I'd love for some sun for our park day!

I took my DD11 shopping after work today. She picked out six pairs of shorts. (Actually she tried to pick out about 10... ) But now I can pack her fully!

A funny story... it's a little short but funny...

So a week or two ago when I grabbed my phone off the charger my countdown app was up and on my Disney Countdown.... So in conversation to my DD19 (in front of my DD12) I brought up that I just realized I had the countdown from last years trip still on my Countdown app. (We went the same day last year. ) Well because I was directing the conversation to my DD19 who knows that is false and my DD12 was just listening, I think I got the point across. You know if she was the one to bring up my countdown.

Well, my DD11 was not with us, so I had to 'find' a time to bring it up, casually in conversation. Tonight offered that opportunity. DH went shopping with us, because he showed up at the same time we were leaving. So on our way home, I say, "Eric, you want to hear something really horrible?" Hubby, "Sure.... " Me, "The other day, I brought up my countdown app on my phone and it had a countdown for our last Disney trip still in it... It made me sad." Hubby, "" He laughed the hardest I have ever heard him laugh... DD11 bought it 100%, she sided with me and said it was sad and that Dad shouldn't be laughing at me.

Anyways, only 4 more sleeps until we leave and 3 more sleeps until we tell the kids.

That is funny! WOW only 3 more sleeps now!! Have you decided on a vendor for the scooter should you need it? I used Scooter Bug, but there are several others that will drop off at luggage services for you. Then there is Walker (which has an excellent reputation), but you actually have to meet them in person for them to hand off the scooter (which for most people is not an issue/problem).
