Ot Need To Vent 1st Bump in the Road What Do I Do?

[Kit'smommy]

I wish, the day care/early learning I send my two nuts/princesses, teach them everything. including the date of their bday, english and spanish, how to tell time so now i can't even get away with five minutes bieng twenty mins. you gotta love that one.

Mine will rattle off his birthdate in a second, but he doesn't have a clue when that date actually falls on a calendar, so we freely move it around. However, I think this will be the last year of that.

He now tells me that it's been longer than five minutes, so he is getting better about time. When it comes to days, any day before today is yesterday (even if it was a year ago!) and any day after today is tomorrow. He is however learning to indentify the next day as "when I wake up" v. some other point in the future (which is still tomorrow).

This age cracks me up.

Really, though, do yourself a favor and relax a little. We weren't going to take DS with us when we went a few years ago (he was 22 months old). My mom was injured a few days before we went (bye-bye childcare) so we packed him up and went anyway. I was not able to change our reservations, but we went to CRT and le Cellier with him without any issues. We just showed up and they were fine with him. On the downside, we missed two reservations for CRT in the last two years. We missed one due to DH being ill and crashing at the hotel and one due to my son having a meltdown from too many days at Disney. (They were kind enough to refund my money even though they didn't have to as we cancelled earlier both days). It is frustrating to see your careful planning not work out, but that's life.

Go, have fun and focus on the positive things.

I know this age has me cracking up. where do they get this stuff.

I am after hearing that everone has had some mishaps or similar situations with last minutes " hey we are going go to wdw with." I definatley feel better, I really thought this can't be happening right now two weeks away when I have to figure out what to pack I spent planning so this two weeks would mean not forgetting anything and now back to square one.

but who cares what happens happens if I forget it I will buy it, glad i saved some money with stroller wap and photopass to cover this

Oh. Well, once they've got the Disney bug, you'll be able to use it against them forever. "If you don't go to bed, we'll never go to Disney again!"

I like that. We're going through the horrible 5's where it seems as though EVERYTHING is a constant battle with DS. Some people who we don't even know who have seen some of his obnoxious behavior have come up to us and said, "He's 5 isn't he? Mine were just like that at 5." Glad to know we're not in the only boat. We are going back to Disney in December. Now I know how I can use it in my favor. At least I hope so.

yeah I made it through the terrible two's/ early three and said not to bad but 4 and 5 tough girls are just mean. I really thought I was being paid back because 2/3 was not too bad.

 

[kwilliamsrn]

btw hoosiergirl7 sorry
gotta route for the other manning

go big blue

It is not Disney's fault they (your family)should have let you know sooner. Just keep checking back. You may just want to try for a separate reservation at the same time and hopfully you will be close together.

With my five, I tell them that "life's not fair," and if someone asks why another gets something, we tell them "because mommy and daddy love them more" - shuts them right up!

Not to be a Debbie Downer about this - but having a 2 1/2 year old myself, I would be more concerned with her feeling left out at BBB than at CRT. I doubt she will "get" missing out on dinner (or SIL could take her to another character meal) with Cinderella, but she will probably feel really left out if she is there for the BBB appts (which I believe you implied in another post).

Four to five is a continuous battle.

My neighbor's going on 6 year old bopped up to me and another neighbor on Sunday and asked what we were getting her for her birthday. My other neighbor who just had a birthday asked what the little girl got her. She thought a second and said "nothing." The other neighbor said then that is what I'll get you.

The going on 6 year old looked sheepish for a moment and said ok and then ran off.

We found out later from her mother that she wants a particular doll and was going to let us know that, so I am going to get it for her from me and the other neighbor.

I love it when you catch them off guard.

Mine has been into saying he doesn't like me lately. I finally snapped back at him the other day that "I am doing my job right then." I haven't heard it since.

Everybody talks about terrible twos, but 4 has been far worse than anything before it.

By the way, love the change in the post name, OP.

I would love 4 again!!! My DS is 5 and in the first grade (they dtart a year earlier in the Bahamas) and I miss my little boy...he has been replaced by a back-talking, rude little monster!!! Everytime we curtail one new bad habit another one shows up...and his 3 yo sister is catching the habits before we can fully get them out of the house...UGH!!!

Today he didn't do his work because he doesn't want to be in school he wants to be back at Disney and told DH that he "just has to get out of here!" (We are moving this spring, but not to Cinderella's Castle and not to FL.)

she has a BBB but at DD not MK. that was the best we could do there

I am in the same boat I would much rather have twinns and get it over with all at once, but no i get to repeat all the snotty coments two years in a row. I look at these first time moms comming in having babies filled with joy and I think back and smile and then when I walk out of the room I laugh my butt off. Thinking to myself if you only knew what a ride you are in for.
But yet with every baby born I still tear up and feel the same joy they do until I come home

just today one threw a gatorade bottle (empty thank god) ot the others haid because she didn;t want to sing the same high school musical song. Oh yeah IN THE CAR. I wanted to throw myself out of the car and I will soon start driving with ear plugs

Ok so we have planned this nice family vacation for the four of us for our 2 DD's B-day, planned for a year and made all of our dinning ressies 6 mos in advance, never mind the fact tat we are spending a fortune even with the discount.
DMIL and DSIL with her DD 2 1/2 surprised us and will be coming for a few days when we will be celebrating. So I called to add the three of them on to the birthday dinner at CM's and was told it can't be done. And they won't let me bring my niece into CRT to sit on my lap on that same day. Now what do I do they are making this trip for my girls and I can not include them. I spent over an hour on the phone with Disney and all they would say was sorry.

I am so pissed off, and them on top of it when I finally gave up trying I said " just put me through to your survey system and let me off the phone" so the CM put me through to a supervisor ( on hold for 5 mins) and she had the nerve to ask me what is my issue. Well I lost it and Said" I have been on hold forever so don;t try and play dumb like you don't know my problem. I didn't ask for a supervisor, but I you can help me fine." She said no! I proceeded to rant and rave that this is supposed to be the year of what you will celabrate and I can't even celabrate my girls birthdays after spending close to ten thousand dollars total for all of this.

Please Help does anyone have any suggestions?

Okay I have only read this post so far.
But how is this Disney fault? You planned your trip you inlaws are dropping on at the last minute.
I think you need to just let it go. There are bigger things in the world (the real world) to worry about.
Okay now I will go read the rest

 

[SHAYMARAYSMOM]

okay I did read the thread. If your inlaws want to join you so bad have them spend the time on the phone and get a ressie. Then if they do call and confirm it then cancel yours.

that is what is now going on and the post was not about it being disney's fault it was about a bad phone experience for the first time and just being overall fruxtrated and needing to vent

 

[buzzmom3]

It's getting so close! Your girls must be so excited!

 

[kwilliamsrn]

It's getting so close! Your girls must be so excited!

they live eat and breath disney, I think they are going to go into overload when ewe get there.
They have memorized that a car will pick us up then we will get on the plane to the train to the special mickey buss and then we will be there then they want to go in the volcano pool then they want to go on the train again and see the castle.

we get this speech everyday.
