National Lampoon's Fun w/Dis Friends 2010!! ~ DAY 7-Final :( 6/27

[Sunset Cliffs]

First off Thanks for coming over!!

As far as the peanut allergy we had no idea or indication. I can't remember what the age was that you are supposed to wait to introduce peanuts or peanut butter but I waited another year and a half. I was paranoid. But when introduced, nothing happened. He never was a big peanut or peanut butter eater but he has had it a few times a year. Last August he ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch (at my suggestion because he never eats that) and he just started getting welts all over around his mouth and chin. I knew this was an allergic reaction because he had the same reaction years earlier to green peas. He was never "formally" diagnosed as being allergic to the sweet peas. The pediatrician just said to wait another year then try them again. Needless to say after the peanut reaction last August I went to an allergist to have him tested. He is allergic to pea's and peanuts which are both legumes. We have to be very careful with legumes. I'm still learning all the beans and peas that are considered legumes. It is hard and confusing. There are some that he is not allergic to like soy. And that just makes it even more complicated when you are trying to explain it to someone on the spot who is preparing his food. It's a mess, I tell ya! I think I will be cooking in the room for our June trip.

Thank you for the info. I think that I have gotten a little forgetful about allergies since we haven't had to deal with them yet. My son eats peanut butter all the time and we have had no problems (thank goodness!), but I guess I didn't realize that other things can pop up later in life. Thanks again.

Here is a link to the person I bought it from:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Scottish-Irish-...ain_0?var=&hash=item7dba90dc36#ht_3511wt_1165

Thank you so much! They have our tartan on their list but only 3 in stock, emailed to see if he'll do a deal on 6! It might have to be for St. Patricks Day, not sure I can wait until Fathers Day

I Love it!


I REALLY love it!


I SO TOTALLY LOVE it!!


You are on a roll, Cherie!!

It sounds like you all had a wonderful meal together! How did DS do with all of those adults? Loved the gift exchange... what a great idea!

You're cracking me up! Glad you liked the corny gifts. I had fun getting them.

 

[Blueyed Girl]

Aw, Jordan... I'm sure nobody thought ill of you! Your sense of humor is gift enough, I'm sure!



Rude lady magnet! Remember the feet lady at Playhouse Disney?!

We had a good laugh about the stinky foot lady this time. She got brought up after ANOTHER rude incident happened. Stay tuned for that one. It's the worst one of the trip.

Boy, I'm racking up the post counts on this trip report, aren't I?

Just wanted to finish up by saying... your banter with Jordan about missing each other when you got home was so sweet. It's so amazing and pretty awesome that your cross-country, long-distance, web-inspired friendship is so strong! Warms the heart, it does!

I love that you're racking up the post count! I'm so glad you're here. I can't believe that I almost didn't get to go on this trip AND that I almost didn't do a PTR.

I hope that we can meet one day too!! I'm hoping to get to meet all of my TR veterans.

You're welcome!
It was explained to me that it can happen at any time in your life. In other words it could happen to me tomorrow and I have had no idea my entire life. Kind of scary. But you can't live in fear of it either.

Thank you so much! They have our tartan on their list but only 3 in stock, emailed to see if he'll do a deal on 6! It might have to be for St. Patricks Day, not sure I can wait until Fathers Day

How awesome that they have your tartan! I hope you get a deal. He has 100% positive and he was SUPER nice during the entire transaction. He sent a business card with the coozie. So I'm sure he has more of them than just 3. He runs a business besides the ebay thing.

So happy to have found this little gem of a report!

I had a really crappy view in my OKW room last February.

 

[englishrose47]

Blue Thank you again for my great gift !!! I also got a pen !! For some reasdon I don't have pix of the gifts !! Iwill share the Threepenny bit story!!! Many years ago when it was still legal tender !! At christmas MOMS would put a few of them in the Plum pudding on Christmas day !! If you got one in your pudding it was a good luck charm !!! After they were no longer minted they were saved from year to year !! I had quite a few of them from my youth and decided to share with my special IMAGINARY FRIENDS!!!!

 

[GeminiAngel]

All the gifts are great!! I LOVE the Voo Doo Doll

 

[joy13]

Looks like a fun and good dinner!

That woman at Soarin' was lame - you were getting up anyway - why say anything?

Oh wow that IS a crappy view!! Last February we had the best view we've ever had. All of our other trips had decent views so I'm not complaining too much about the crappy one this time. Plus, like I said it was FREEZING and we never went out there.

Rosie!! Thanks for sharing the Three penny bit story again. I just love it!!! Thank you so much for sharing something so special with us. I will keep it always and will also keep a note with it telling this story and who it came from, so that it can be passed down to DS later.

All the gifts are great!! I LOVE the Voo Doo Doll

When I saw that thing I thought now THAT is the perfect gag gift to get Winkers!!

Looks like a fun and good dinner!

Dinner was awesome!!! I wish we could do it every year.

She WAS lame! You are so right.

Cherie your Epcot day sounded great even if you had the rude lady on Soarin'. I really enjoy reading about you getting to see Rosie, Cherie, D Jay, and Jordan. It sounded like so much fun. I loved your gifts for them, they were so cute. I can't wait to read more.

 

[MaryAz]

Good for you for not letting that rude woman get to you. Great gifts. Looks like dinner was lots of fun.

Thanks! We did have a really good time. I'm still hoping to get to meet up with you and Bill one day too!

Thanks.
Dinner was GREAT!!!

 

[MyTalula]

Great updates Blue!!

We have power back and have moved back home this morning, now starting to catch up on my reading between loads of laundry.

Score on the anytime fast pass... that lady was a real gem... maybe she is related to my Publix lady? Seems to be an abundance of instability around there.

The Wave dinner looks like soooo much fun. What a hoot those gifts were, good job hitting the nails on the head so to speak.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Yeesh, that lady from Soarin' was rude! What the heck was her problem? And after you'd been so nice to her too! But score on the FP!

The Wave is definitely on my "must try" list!

 

[vamassey1]

Sorry about the rude lady, but you know what they say "What goes around, comes around". I'm sure at some point it will come back. And since you took the high road you got pixie dust!

I love the gifts! What a great idea, they are perfect!

How wonderful that so many of ya'll were able to meet up and enjoy each others company. The perfect ending to your day!

This made me think of a great scene in the Charlie Chaplin move "The Great Dictator". In the scene he's a jew in one of the slums and they need a volunteer for a suicide mission. They give each man a pudding and announce that one of them has a coin in it and whoever gets the coin is the person for the mission. Well, somewhere back in the baking of the puddings, all of them got a coin put in them. While they're eating there's a bunch of switching puddings when people aren't looking and Charlie ends up swallowing a bunch of coins rather than announce he has the coin. When he finally gets up he rattles with all of the change in his stomach.

Made me laugh As one year My "MUM" said she had put X number in the pudding and we were short one !! Turns out Dad had it all along and was stashing it in his mouth to have us all going !!

 

[DisneyJo]

What a strange thing for that lady to say, especially after you'd been so nice. What did she think that because you'd ridden before you shouldn't ride again? Doubt Disney would want that happening as they'd have no guests left

Oh I absolutely love the gifts you gave out, they're perfect

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

I wish I'd thought of that.

That was too funny!

At the moment we are re-thinking our June plans. We were to do 4 at WDW and 2 at US/IOA. However, that would actually cost us more than doing a 6 night MYW ticket w/hoppers + 1 day ticket to waterpark. Soooo, I think we are going to save US/IOA for next year. Since we've already gone on a vacation once this year(out of pocket), we need to keep the costs down on this one. Now I get to start re-figuring our day to day plans.

im a little quicker on the draw.

rethinking, meaning retooling them to come a day early


great update, my parents were scheduled for the wave with parker when candi and i go to the luau but they are now going to cape may i think?

all i know is i get my luau drink on them meet glenn that night.

 

[GreatBiscuit]

Great update Blue! Loved the gifts! Jordan's koozie was cracking me up! The rude woman in Soarin was totally but at least you got some nifty consolation prizes. The Wave looked aewsome. And I loved the "Behind the scense of Jordan's TR" photo! Can't wait to hear all about your encounter with Wendy and crew.
