September 2011 - We are going to Disney World {THIS MONTH}! (Third Thread)

Oops! Somehow double posted, sorry!

I just talked to my mother who is going with us to Disney in two weeks. She has had a history of a leaking heart valve, but it wasn't that bad. She went for a follow up the other day and she found out the leak has gotten quite bad and she needs to see a specialist. The doctor told her that she can still go on vacation...that nothing significant will happen in that short amount of time but that she has to have a procedure done when she gets back to see whether she has to have a replacement valve or a repair done and it should be done as soon as she gets back. I know there are a lot of rides at Disney that list that people with heart conditions should not ride certain rides. I am wondering if she should ask the doctor if there are any restrictions? He told her in the past that she could ride anything but I am wondering if things have changed now that the leak is worse. I know she is stressed about it. We just lost my step dad to brain cancer less than two years ago and she is still sensitive due to this. I want to keep her calm. I am hoping the vacation and small time away will allow her to relax a little.

We join in the happy dance, allow me to join you with a So, so sorry and just when you have been working so much for your trip. dagnabit

Thank you for screaming with me.



Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the character lines at parties just keep getting longer throughout the night. Good luck!

Yeah I think the dwarfs will be our first line to get in.

might be worth it to get the multi day brings it down to $13 save you $2 a day. can't believe my 3 year old weighs more than 40 lbs. I got rid of my double just couldn't push them anymore its like 90 lbs of baby ugh. pregnant wife eh that's just pathetic

we used a stroller. A lot when thegirls were little and they together at 7&11 weigh 120. if a dbl can handle that, I am sure that a single can handle 40!

Hey everyone! We just got home from dinner with the inlaws--reservation was at 5:30 and it was a party of 12 and took forever to get food. We left the restaurant at 8:30 so three hours for DD to sit in her high chair! It was really past her bedtime too. It was a great dry run for Disney as I don't think any place we go will keep us in the restaurant for 3 hours! She did great and wasn't fussy at all even though it was past her bedtime.

Also, my inlaws gave her an early birthday present today:

I love it! She got it in the carry-on size. Not the most fun gift for a 2 year old but she will be able to use it on many trips to WDW (hopefully!).

Today we went shopping to pick up a couple more shirts for DH to wear and we were walking through the Disney Store. Of course, because we can't go to the mall without going in there. Anyway, we have been planning that DD2 would wear DD9's hand-me-down Belle costume for MNSSHP. Well, DD2 is currently obsessed with Tiana. She wants to wear her Tiana underwear, she wants to watch Tiana, when we ask her what she wants to be for Halloween, Tiana.

So we broke down and bought her the Tiana costume. I don't want to say the s-word, but that child is spoiled. And I mean, rotten! Daddy felt bad that she was going to have to wear a recycled costume that she didn't pick, so now we have 4 size 2/3 Disney Store costumes that I'm hoping we'll get some use out of before she grows out of them.

Next week at this time, we'll be at Epcot!!!!! Can't wait!

We had the same problem...saying no that is. Our daughter wanted go be Tinkerbell. So I found her a Tinkerbell costume and put it away for her. Well...now she wants to be Snow White so then I bought her Snow White. I figure if nothing else she will wear one of them for dress up. I am such a push over.

I am the same way...

I read in one of the guidebooks someone put their pregnant wife in a park stroller!

What?????? That is really weird! LOL!

Oh my goodness... It sounds like a vacation is just what the doctor ordered!

Lucky girl!!! Happy early birthday princess!!!!!

Has anyone ever used a blow up mattress at Disney? Originally we had planned for DS2 and DD6 to share a bed, but when we tried it recently it didn't work so well. (I had to pry him off her head several times during the night.) I was thinking of bringing his Cars inflatable bed, but don't really know if there will be room. (He won't sleep in a pack and play.) Any thoughts or ideas?

Not sure if there is enough space or not but you could build a wall of blankets between them -might help keep home from rolling on top of her...

 

[pinkle]

Well,.............this time next week I will be grabbing some breakfast at MK.....that sounds so wonderful!! This mornings breakfast is a ltttle different, I have 6 teenage boys here (from the soccer tourney) who will be waking up very hungry. It will be fun, just not as magical! My son won his tournament yesterday with a 3-2 nail biter

 

[Marblies]

Just keep the pancakes coming Pinkle, teenage boys never seem to get full!
(I was the oldest in a family with 6 boys growing up- guess who cooked?) Thank goodness I was blessed with 2 girls!

That is probably why Disney food tastes so good (to me). No prep, no cooking and no clean-up! THAT'S a vacation in my book, all the rest of the magic is icing on the cake!

Speaking of vacations...we leave this week! Wednesday is soooo close now.

Us too! 2 more days, come on Tuesday!

 

[sillylily]

Y'all are getting so close!My countdown is under two weeks today! After more than a year of planning, I can wait that much longer!pinkle, thats great news for your son!Good luck keeping up with the food this morning!

I'm heading back to work on very little sleep, but it's worth it. The quinceneara was a massive success, and my daughter's BFF looked like an angel! My girls looked horrified when I salsa danced with a Cubano half my age! Both of them learned to salsa shortly after, so it was deemed cool again! I'm ready for Friday, so I can get all of the packing done and clean my house good before we head out the next weekend. Gonna be a ling, slow week, so I hope people come back to update!

You had such a busy day...glad to hear it all turned out wonderfully! Your trip will be here in no time!

I will definitely post on this thread when we get back! I may even check in on my smartphone while we're there, if anybody's interested!

So super cute, BorkBorkBork!

 

[sparks19]

Oh my gosh Borkborkbork that mickey luggage is ADORABLE. I want one lol

I feel so out of the loop. seems I never have time on the weekends to stop in and keep up with everyone. I need to go back and catch up on all the pages I missed... but for now....

14 DAYS happy dance



TWO WEEKS. I can't believe it

Lemonsours... where are you staying again? Is it the toddler sized blow up mattress? liek the same size as a toddler bed?

I would guess there would be enough room somewhere. I know some of the closets are walk in size and would fit a mattress that size and there would probably be room beside the beds

She should probably ask the Dr. just to have the piece of mind, although I think that is posted mostly for people with blockages or synchronization problems, where the heart beating really fast can cause problems. Not sure how a leak would be affected, though. Hope she has a wonderful time.

You might be surprised how much fun she'll have with it, Jamie *loves* playing with his little Cars carry-on, he would wheel it around all day if he could!

I would imagine she started feeling not so good after they were already in the park, but still!

I might try that the first night, but bring the blow-up bed just in case.

Even though my DH cooks more than I do, I feel the same way! Have fun!

For those of you checking in at rides and such, which app do you use? My phone isn't really a smart phone, but I can get some apps (I got the Mobile Magic one!) and was thinking about checking in to FB.

We are not to far behind you! We'll be in FL 2 weeks from tomorrow!
We are staying at CBR, and the bed is slightly larger than a toddler bed, but not by a lot. Hopefully if necessary it will fit next to the beds.

 

[sahmoffour]

Woohooo!!!! 10 days today! 9 until we leave! I get to do online check-in today!

I haven't called yet to request the bed rails, or let them know that we will have a garden grocer order as well as an Orlando Stroller order coming in that day. I did request the section we want though. Are these all things I'll just be able to add in a comments section when I do online check-in? Or do I still have to call?

 

[BorkBorkBork]

We use the Lines app from Touringplans.com (the Unofficial Guide people). It is a lot of fun to check to see what the rides are! I last checked at 10am (11am WDW time) and there were still FP's available for TSM and everything else was a 20 minute or less wait except Soarin'.

That is exactly how I feel
