Good Morning Everyone!!!
Hope you make out ok!
By the way, did you decide which embroidery machine??
. My other DD got a bathing suit for the trip. She is getting the Merida dress for her birthday and thats what she'll wear to the castle. I'm going to go back and read and try to catch up. Have a great day!
C'mon DxDP'ers!!! None of us are coming back 50 pounds heavier, all the energy we expend will cancel out all of the caloric intake automatically!
Okay. I debated about whether to share this with you all since this is a happy thread, but I really need to. My Mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's yesterday. It doesn't come as a huge shock of course. There have been signs. But to have it actually confirmed was a bit more emotional for me than I had expected. I moved recently to be closer to my parents, so I will be quite involved with everything. I have one sister who lives in Texas, but that's a good thing. Anyway, I just needed to tell someone...and you all are the someone. Thanks for listening.
On a happy note, my 3 year old granddaughter has been delighting me since Monday evening when they arrived from Virginia. She loves Disney music (and movies) and we have been dancing up a storm together!
So sorry to hear this. I will be praying for you guys.Good Morning everyone!!
Hope everyone is doing well, spoke with my daughter last night in Pensacola and she fared out very well. Had lots of wind and rain and was under tornado warning twice, but luckily no real ill effects. Those in Loiusiana made out far worse and certainly my thoughts and prayers are with them all this morning as they begin to cope with all the after effects! Mother Nature can sure be a beast and carry a heavy burden to us sometimes.
I went ahead just for kicks and priced out the RO discount vs what we are getting with FD and upgrade to DxDP and we fare out so much better with what we have in place already. We will end up saving a ton of $$$$ by simply staying with what we have. With everyone's situation different, I just wanted to be sure we were making the right decision and we most assuredly are!!
To those with loved ones struggling with early onset dimentia/alzheimer's- its really a tough and relentless disease. My grandmother/grandfather-- and dad had it and he passed away NYE last year- it was so hard seeing him suffer in the end but knowing he is at peace now and in heaven gives me comfort. As a nurse I know there are many new drugs out on market and even the older ones like Aricept still work extremely well for those in the early stages. Know you are not alone and that there are so many others that share in your struggle. This is a great forum with many supportive people. We're here if you need us!!
Have lots of work to do today so I am off to get started. I hope you all have a wonderful day!!

Jet blue just started flying out of our home airport 9or will be!) and the first week they are flying out the fairs are 75.00 each way. couldn't resist...soooooo..we are taking a short surprise trip. I was waiting to book CSR with a hopeful annual pass discount..but the same day they came out the resort showed full. We are now staying at pofq november 30-dec 4th. i was all excieted for CSR and am now trtying to get excited for pofq......but any time at Disney is GREAT!!
Good Morning Everyone!!
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Our DD, DSIL and DGD will be leaving to go back to Virginia tomorrow. But he's looking for work (including in Ohio), so they may be back soon. Our DD is due with their second child late October, so they are hoping to get settled...like nowish!!
Our son who lives in Florida is coming home on Monday for a couple of days. He is testifying in a murder trialand is being flown here by the prosecution. They want him as a character witness. He's nervous and I'm going to be going to the court with him and we'll be glad when he's done, but we're anxious to see him.
Good Day everyone!!
Its absolutely beautiful here in Ocean Pines!! Its going to be a warm and sunny weekend, so I imagine Ocean City will be packed- at least the beach will. As far as the water park goes, we are also planning a day there, but will just pay out of pocket for our day there- price wise it just makes sense. To add it to our package would increase our cost alot more. And since we only have one day to go, it more cost effective for us. We would so much prefer Typhoon Lagoon- its our favorite but since its closed, we will head over to BB. Should still be a fun day.
Well my DH and Rachel are taking this mamma out for dinner tonight for my birthday!! Hard to believe this old mamma is 50 today!!I just can't get over the fact that I am half a century old---where does the time go??? But then again you are as young as you feel so I am choosing to feel young and vibrant- even though there are days I definitely don't feel that way.
Hope you have a incredible day and an wonderful Labor Day weekend!!!
... I am really worried about over-doing it with the girls. At 6, 3 and 1.5 I just don't think they can handle hours on end in a park. I told H I plan to leave each park for a few hours aftrer lunch each day to go back to the resort and rest and he thought I was nuts -- he said "We spent $XXX.XX to go to these parks, we're staying all day!" but I just don't see the girls doing that.
The anxiety is starting to set in
My youngest 2 still need their naps, even though I think they would sleep in the stroller I would much rather have them in a bed.
Has anyone done this trip with little kids before? How did you fit in rest time? I can use all the advice you have to give!
I know we'll be back in a year or 2, but I find myself trying to JAM as much into our schedule as I can. I am tempted to cut out most of Epcot -- which is right in the middle of our week -- we'll go for breakfast, do some stuff, eat lunch and go back to the room for the rest of the day until our dinner ressie @ 7p (MH are until midnight in teh event that we wanted to do more there).
I'm so worried we'll have two cranky toddlers on our hands and H will vow never to do Dis again!!!
) the parks can be done and the kids will set the pace some. I don't think it's needed to go back to the room, largely due to the time it takes to do so, but it certainly can be done. The blog http://www.tipsfromthedisneydiva.com/ has some tips on taking breaks in the parks that can help out a lot.

I am completely happy with all of our ADRs.
So.... WHY do I keep searching the dining site? I'm not going to change anything. I just can't stop! I need an intervention!!!
I don't just DRINK it, I SHOWER in it!!!You must have been drinking the Disney koolaid.

The section where they have advice from a children's psychologist is just brilliant. 
Good Day everyone!!

Trust me, no one is having a good time! If you think your kids will nap in a stroller, that's great. But if not, leave the parks and get them their naps. (A lot of adults actually take naps too!) The thing is, yes, you spend a lot of money to go, but going back for naps doesn't mean you can't have a wonderful time. We left the parks around 2:00 or so all but one day when we were there in April, thinking we would return, but never did because the pool was such a huge draw and we thought, as long as our little 5 year old is happy, we're happy too. Was it Disney World the way we usually do it? No. But we made the trip about what our little one wanted to do and we had a blast! You know your kids, so you'll have to make that call. It is such a temptation to try to do everything on your first trip. You can't accomplish it, even without kids! The scope of the four parks is something you have to experience to fully understand it. Good luck to you.
Actually thats a really good prank..Put the powdered koolaid in the shower head.
(I think we would be good friends if we lived close to each other!
)
How fun to have a last minute trip!!) but the one time we went in November it was indeed warm enough to swim. In fact we spent a day at one of the water parks. Where are you going to be staying?
