Hellol, I am in tears reading all ur posts about getting ready to fly out. I am leaving on the 26th and just hurt my back. I can't do anything without being in pain. I also don't know how I hurt it. Was just on the floor packing for and when I got up was in pain. I go to the chiropractor today. Not sure how I am going to get to the car to get my DS off to school and then me to the appt! Sorry for being a downer.

Hope you feel better soon!!! If you did it while packing- it might be a good thing you were packing over 2 weeks in advance! glad it didn't happen a few days before. My husband just hurt his last week, he still had to work (he has a labor job), he couldn't even bend over without pain, but it worked itself out. So hopefully yours does the same. I made him sleep w/ a heating pack on and take Motrin.

is back problems the new April DISers curse??? First it was all the flu/stomach bugs, etc. Now that seems to be clearing up and I swear I've read of like 3 other people hurting their back the past couple days and myself - I've had back problems for 20 years so I'm used to it, but the past couple months or so I've had NO back problems (I found a new sleeping position that must help), but then this morning I woke up and it's back to hurting. Not major, like when I have a muscle spasm or pulled muscle or something, but when it's sore like this I know I'm only 1 movement away from a possible spasm.

This really stinks! I can't do anything w/out being in pain. I feel like I am 80 years old and can't stand up straight. I go to the chiropractor this afternoon and hopeful he will fix me up but until then been on Advil every 4 hours. Thanks for kind words. Hope your husband is better soon.

I tried to sleep on my side in the fetal position because standing straight up hurts the most and I woke up twice on my back! I hope your back doesn't get any worse then it is. We all have a lot of walking to do in the parks!

I will be there too and just looked at the weather and it looks awfull

We had rain predicted almost everyday last week. It did rain a few days for a few hours but it was light and we were able to carry on fine with ponchos! I woke up one morning and looked at the forecast and told my DH that we were not going to the park, he opened the door and it was beautiful outside!

Bring the rain gear and enough shoes that they have a day or two to dry and you'll be fine!

 

[TJDisneymama]

IDK what's wrong with the weather people in Florida, lol. Last year I obsessively checked the hourly weather, ALL DAY LONG on my phone. It would be 1:00 and I would check and it would say 1:00 - 90% chance of T-storms........ Huh??! I'm looking at the sky, there's not a single cloud to be seen!!!!

Thanks I didn't think about extra shoes!!!

I have put my weather checking in the time-out chair along with norovirus and sickness posts. It's stressing me out because I am still worried about something going wrong! 44.5 hours to go...and I have spent the morning commenting between here and the FB April DIS group. LOL

Anyone know why on April 30th, so much stuff will be missing from Magic Kingdom?? So pissed because we re-arranged our trip to add a day for my daughter and now our MK day (which we always save the best for last) has no jammin in the street parade, no stage show, no nightime parade, and only Mickey and Princess meet and greets!! And its closing at 9pm as opposed to later times the rest of the week!

 

[TJDisneymama]

what's the Jammin in the Street parade? Is that the 3:00 parade?

 

[USAND3KIDS]

Finally remembered to pick up some moleskin. I think I have everything I need now. I've upped my workouts from 3 times a week to 6 times a week just so I won't have to feel bad eating all of the yummy things that I WILL be eating in Disney.

Where are you getting this info? If its from Disney's site...keep in mind it is vary unreliable right now.

Most of the stuff you mention happen everyday in MK

Not sure about the jammin in the street, but there should be the 3 o'clock parade. Plus, the one little parade that runs up mainstreet and back around the HUB. The stage shows typically occur at various times all day long. I would check your times guide for that. Spectromagic typically only runs a few nights a week during slower times. Look at your map and times guide for all of your meet and greet availabilities. There will be more than just Princesses and Mickey. Wishes is at 9 and then the park will close. You should have PLENTY of entertainment throughout the day and evening. The only thing missing is Spectromagic.

Sorry, I dont know the official name of the parade, but its the one where you're invited to go out into the street during the parade and dance with the characters.

 

[TJDisneymama]

is it listed on other days? What calendar are you looking at?

It was on the Disney site and All Ears. I called Disney and spoke to a castmember and she confirmed all those things were true and even she was stunned that they made so many things absent in one day. She said may be a special event or something. I go every year and those are things my DD will be so disappointed to not see! And me too! I know there's tons of other things, but thats not what I'm talking about right now. I'm trying to figure out why they would take out so much stuff in one day.

 

[SpectroMagic*o*]

Yes its listed every other day except that, its very strange. The 30th is on a Tuesday so I thought maybe they just dont do those things on Tuesdays but all the other Tuesdays surrounding that date offer all the parades and shows! Very very strange, strongly hoping its not true but it sounds like it is.

I just sent my room request fax to POR. One week from now we will be at the airport waiting to board

DD and I went through her clothes and picked out her outfits yesterday. This morning DS tells me "all my shorts are too short!" I said, "what, they all have to be knee length?" After he left for school I looked through them all and he's probably right. Some of them are size 7 and he is just starting to wear 10's (for the length - everything falls off his skinny butt ). Now the tough part will be getting him to try them all on this afternoon.... I may have a trip to Kmart to add to my list.

I teach preschool (3yr olds) and every last one of them has some goo coming out of their noses. Crossing my fingers it is mostly allergies, but I can't tell you how much hand sanitizer I used this morning!

Sorry to all those having back problems. I hope you are better by your trip. I have a good tip for a great heating pad. We take an old sock, fill it with barley (just pick up a bag at the grocery store) and sew it shut. Microwave for about 2 minutes, shake it around and awesome reusable heating pad that won't explode blue goo into your microwave.

 

[TJDisneymama]

hmmmm, is it possible they just don't add those details in until a couple weeks before? Because looking at the WDW site, that parade doesn't show up any time after 4/30..... I bet they only do 3 weeks out which would be up to 4/29. So check tomorrow and see if it's added in on 4/30
