PTR May 2009 for our 3rd Anniversary. We're home and want to go back! :(

I worked on the basement for 3 hours this morning. I am having a huge garage sale when we get back from WDW. I found hmm...a tub og clothes my sil had given me for Austin. Oops! Luckily he is just getting into the size. So I came up and put everything I thought we needed into suitcases. I am sure I will re-pack next weekend with my checklist. Wow! 2 weeks and we will be celebrating mothers day at WDW. Can't wait to see you at AKL!

Ok so you are staying with us and have been there before. How does the CS at Mara work. I see for breakfast they have a kids platter, but Jenny doesn't eat eggs. Can she get something else off of the adult menu???

I can't believe you're 2 weeks away... it's so close!

I love all your purchases, Disney shopping's so much fun!

AHHHH I just can't believe it. I'm getting so anxious. I'll be able to really get excited after my last day of school on Wednesday. I've got 3 papers, 3 discussion posts, 10 reading log entries, and a final to get down by tomorrow and Wednesday. Mom's got Tyson so I'm going to get to work!

I'm glad you found the stuff before it was too small for him! I decided I would get all of the suitcases out and start getting other bags together while I'm cleaning up Thursday and Friday. My brother is graduating from College so we are having a huge party Saturday night! There will be about 55 people!

I really don't know about the CS for kids at Mara. I have seen posts where people said they didn't like one thing on the platter so they had it substituted with more of something else. I would think you could do the same thing with a child's platter. Don't you think? Did you do the dining plan?

I've been calling disney dining everyday to get an Ohana dinner reservation on May 12. They are completely booked the whole week!!!! I'm so upset. Brad changed his mind and wants to eat there. I have Chefs de France right now. Is it good?


Anybody want to help me call to try to get Ohana? LOL Maybe if I have a bunch of people calling I'll catch a cancellation. J/K

Maybe I should just stick to Chefs de France. How do I get from DHS to Epcot?

 

[3princesses+aprince]

Hello, just checking in to see what's going on!!! I packed my suitcases today too. I had stuff thrown in the suitcases, but today, it's finished, but i'm sure i'll recheck everything next week and the day before we go!

 

[bertegirl]

Don't give up. I had totally given up and then someone (hmm) convinced me to try again and yesterday we got into CM. I also called everyday, twice a day for almost a month to get into Ohana. It was my 1st reservation and of course the only one they couldn't reschedule when the lovely CM canceled them all by mistake. We got lucky finally and eat there on the Thursday night at 6:45. Too bad we couldn't just add you to our table!

A mexican tourist at Disney World this week had swine flu!!! I want to go but I'm scared we will get sick. I'm so scared. Should I be concerned?

I will not cancel our trip unless Disney closes it's doors and I seriously doubt that will happen. LOL

Don't worry about it. I think the media is making it so much bigger than it is. everybody is just freaking out.

Don't worry about it. I think the media is making it so much bigger than it is. everybody is just freaking out.

Exactly Bloomberg and several NYC doctors made press conferences today saying to be careful, but that it wasn't as bad as a lot of people think and there's no need to worry. I think the media's blowing it way out of proportion!

Yeah the media is like really freaking out LOL! They have to chill with it

I don't think that the swine flu is something to seriously worry about, but I do think that we will be washing our hands and using Purell A LOT more than we normally do, which is a lot because I am sort of a germophobe!! I'm mainly concerened about Emily because she comes home from Disney with a cold EVERY TIME!

 

[BridetobeDisney]

Thanks ya'll! I keep watching the news and then they mentioned Disney and I just freaked. LOL I've worried myself all day. I even called WDW to see what they are doing to be precautionary about it. Of course he said what I knew he would which is that they are following WHO and CDC's recommendations. Then he referred me to the CDC website. LOL I wanted him to tell me that now someone wipes down the rails, doors, etc. with Lysol every 30 minutes! LOL

 

[wlwilliams9]

I've got my Clorox wipes and spray can of Lysol, both travel size for the plane and regular size for the resort and parks!! I think I'm gonna buy a few 5 gallon drums of Purell and bathe Emily in it!!!

 

[racefanof88]

HEY, maybe more ADRs will open up and you can get Ohana . Now, on the serious side it is a concern, just be sure you use good hand hygiene and wipe tables and so forth down before sitting down to eat. We need to come in contact with certain germs to build immunity but humans have a hard time fighting disease that originates in animals because our systems are different. They are really hyping this for some reason because approximately 36,000 people die annually from the flu and flu related illnesses.

I went on this morning and added clorox wipes, lysol, etc to my garden grocer items. Plus I already had the travel sizes bought thanks to Wendy. I watched CNN last night and when they break down the numbers...it seems like they are blowing this out of proportion. I too am already a freak, we wash out hands and then use sanitizer. Even at home, but then both my babies were premies.

I have to buy some this weekend. All the stores around here are sold out of hand sanitizer and I only bought 3 small ones and Amanda hijacked one already . I will make my own if I have too. You can pour alcohol on paper towels and put them in a zip lock bag and seal it tight use them like wipes. They will work on your hands and on surfaces. So if you run into the situation of stores being out of sanitizer or clorex wipes make your own!

 

[Lynn5700]

Yeah just stock up on hand sanitizer. You will be fine. No more worries

No one around here seems to be worrying about it. We have tons of everything in stock. We have a lot of the flu issues with the weather here anyway, so not really anything new.

 

[BridetobeDisney]

I've got to get Lysol, wipes, and hand sanitizer. All I have is one travel size purell bottle. LOL I need a gallon! I'll go to Walmart Friday and get some.

So I decided to call my pediatrician this morning and ask about the swine flu and going to Disney. I knew he would understand why I am asking and I knew he'd tell me to still go to Disney because he is a Disney fanatic too and takes his family at least twice a year. I just love my pediatrician! LOL So his nurse called me back (She is super nice and easy to talk to. Love her!) and she said that he said don't cancel the trip just be more careful. Wash our hands and use hand sanitizer often and don't put our hands near our face. Keep away from people who seem to be sick as best you can. They said to just take those precautions and we should be fine. She said that if he gets sick when while we are down there with anything..virus, flu, cold, etc. to call them and they will walk us through what to do and where to go. I am so blessed to have such a great dr. and nurse to answer my questions!
