November 10, 2007 - MAGIC - Eastern

DD has croup - yay!! But we got her to the doc yesterday and got an oral steroid, so despite the fact that she has pretty much lost her voice - she's cleared to go on the trip and the doc says it will be all gone by the time we get aboard.
Do you have any idea how impossible it is to understand a whispering, cranky 4 year old with laryngitis??

Hey Yndy, I feel your pain. DS had croup at least 5 times per year until he turned four, now he just gets bronchitis. The oral steroid works great though, if you can get them to take it - Connor gagged it out at least once because it tastes so bad. They give a steriod shot at the hospital which avoids that problem, but that was always preceded by a terror filled trip to the ER in the middle of the night because he could barely breathe. Long story short, I feel for you, but the steriod is going to work just great and DD will be bouncing around when you board!

Just had to post to note that we are only 3 days away from boarding the Magic!

I am so excited!!

Has anybody used Shutters to upload photos from a digital card to a CD.
I'm debating on whether to invest $80.00 in a new digital card. My camera holds approximately 600 photos, which is a lot. But I tend to take lots of photos. I took 340 pictures at WDW in August over 5 days. So I'm thinking it might be close. We are 2 days in WDW after the cruise. Total 9 days of photos. I'm thinking there is a stong possiblity that I may need to upload my photo before going WDW. Lots of festive happens going on which might means more pictures.

If you have use shutters to upload photos, how much did it cost?

jeez - I miss ONE day and I'm 7 1/2 pages behind!!

DD has croup - yay!!

Geez so many people are sick! I am on my last day of antibiotic! My DD Susan has been coughing for days with no other symptoms. At midnight I gave her Delsym and started her in the Orapred too. Fun for all!

Just to add to my stress level - we got a call today and it appears that our trailer was broken into. Nothing was taken but they pried open the door and ruined it. We are looking into cost to get it fixed but we think it is going to be between $750 & $1000. Now we have to figure out if we should file an insurance claim. We have a $500 deductible and it is new insurance so I think that we will have to eat the cost. There is only one or two insurance companies that will insure the trailers so I can't risk losing our insurance for a small claim. The other problem is that the park is locked up. We got in today because they met us there to go look at it. One of the maint guy is going to get some sheet metal and nails and get it closed up so no animals or snow can get in.

Woody - have a safe trip!

Ugh....I am sorry to the hear that! Bad people stink!

Hoping he feels better by Saturday. I've been starting to get a tickle in my throat. As soon as the weather changes, I catch a cough.

Oh, forgot to mention that I took DS to the doctor today and he has bronchitis, but the good news is he is on the Z medicine (can't spell it properly) so it will be done by Saturday. Hopefully he will also be much improved by the time we leave. Keeping my fingers crossed that DH and I don't come down with it.

Jajs Mom,

You have some super cute kiddos! Any your fish extender is FAB ! Did you use a Bernina embroidery machine on it? It looks like the stuff my mom makes on her Bernina!

Its my neighbors machine. I don't know what she used. She makes lots of things and I am so not crafty. I have to buy her something special on the t rip for making this for me.

Hope everyone's illnesses disappear before they have to fly. A tip I learned on the DIS boards about 10 years ago is to fly with earplanes. They are pressure equalizing earplugs, and they come in adult and children's sizes. I used to have terrible ear/head/neck pain every time I flew. But I have been using earplanes since I got that tip, and it has made a world of difference for me.

Lauri - Do you know where I can get those earplugs?

is too cool for Princesses anymore!

I bought her a princess coloring book and she said "Why did you buy a PRINCESS book?" "What, you don't like them anymore?" "NO MOM, I am too big for Princesses!" ARE YOU NUTS GIRL? Later when we were searching for Baseball hats we came across the pink princess one and she emphatically said "I am NOT wearing that!" Oh come on.......You will wear it!

Later when I told me husband he commented, "Well there goes the Magic of the Disney Cruise for her!" I have a feeling that will change when we are on board. Well, I hope!

 

[Stimpy]

HI all! Hope everyone is feeling better soon! DS was sniffling and droopy last night and all I kept saying was "NOOOOOO!!! Don't get sick now! Wait 2 weeks!" I know, I'm such a caring mom

Love the extender! I just put stickers on ours and hopefully they will stay on. (I purchased the extenders from a DIS member recommended here)

Still no packing yet but DS did try on his suit.....it's a tad short in the arms but everything else looks fine. Hopefully no one will notice.

We never had photos downloaded at Shutters but I did do it at MGM one trip. I forgot how much it was....maybe $30 for 120 pics? It goes right on a CD and was so convenient.

My parents are in Orlando already. Mom says NASA is planning on sending up a rocket for the Air Force on Saturday afternoon so we might be able to see it from the ship. My DS will be thrilled to see that!

Hope everyone that is on their way already has a great and safe trip!

 

[mjofishc]

We leave tomorrow also. Safe travels to everyone.

I hope everyone starts feeling better. My DD started coughing this morning and i said the same thing. NOOOOOOO.

By the way, clothes aren't included in the price of the cruise? I better get packing.

Cheryl, you can bring ME the princess coloring book!!!! I loved princesses!!!

Lauri - Do you know where I can get those earplugs?

I believe I've seen them at Target and CVS. I also saw them in our airport gift shop when I flew last month. I think I actually bought a pair for Connor a year or so ago, but then never used them. He doesn't seem to mind the takeoff or landing, which is odd since he had terrible ears as a baby/toddler - he had tubes at 18 months. Guess he outgrew that problem.

 

[Phelpsie70]

Cheryl, you can bring ME the princess coloring book!!!! I loved princesses!!!

Me too! The one sad thing for me about having a boy is that I won't get to do the whole princess thing. So instead I have to spoil my 3 year old niece. For her birthday I bought her the full Belle ensemble from the Disney store, complete with tiara, shoes, wand, etc. Belle's my favorite princess, so I had to get that outfit for someone!

We are planning to start taking the Bonine on Friday. I have heard mixed reviews so I am not sure what to expect. I did hear that the regular dramamine makes you more sleepy than the bonine.

You think anyone will notice if my boys are wearing something other than Disney costumes around the ship? My boys LOVE LOVE LOVE their BATMAN dressups and pretty much wear the 12 hours a day.

That would be so darn cool!
