The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 8

[PNO4TE]

I think so. And I found it right on TPAS!

The site worked much better for me this morning and I was also able to enter the Sweepstakes. It will be interesting to start to get info from Disney on how they are going to make dreams come true!

I'm still waiting for the page to load! $#@!@#$ dial up!

ETA: Morning DDA! Looks like I went to bed to early last night! I missed Tammi's link until now! Currently at 95% loaded for their web page...I might have to wait until I get to work to see this thing!

Morning DDA!

Just a drive by post to say that the postman visited me today...

with a postcard from the May 18th-ers!!!!!

Thanks girls you made my Disney Day

Good Morning DDA,

Just a quick post before I'm off to work.

Fantastic news about Rees!

Happy Day After June, you share a birthday with my FIL, which is where we were last night.

We leave for Disney in 18 days, things have been so hectic around here that I don't have our itinerary worked up yet, I do have the ADR's though.

This will be our first trip with a three year old, any words of wisdom from those of you who have taken a toddler. And any "must do's" that I might not know about?

I better get off here and get on with it, I wouldn't want to be late for work.

Hope Everyone has a Magical Day

Debbie

Still not caught up reading all the posts...Hope everyone is doing well.

Daniel's first trip to a Mets game went great...Mets didn't win (score was 7-6 SF Giants in 12 innings) but what a good game! He was so excited watching the game. When Jose Reyes came up to bat, he went crazy. When he saw David Wright for the first time he was jumping up & down. Daniel just had the best time..the game ran over 4 hours & he watched every at bat with excitement. Didn't want to leave & wasn't happy the Mets lost.
Thanks for all his birthday wishes..he got a kick out of seeing all the posts for him here on the DDA.

I think that I missed this, so...

Happy Birthday, Daniel!!!! (Just a little late)

I'm glad that he had a great time!

OMG OMG......did you see this???????

WOW! Did you see the part about spend a night in Cinderella's Castle? Wouldn't that be a dream come true! I hope they have a lot of smaller things, too, so that there are more people that feel special. Too bad we won't be going during this celebration. Good luck to those of you who are!

It worked for me this morning.

I registered also.........I can't wait to see what they come up with. Maybe we can do something on our Grand Gathering in Jan 07.

I went back and visited that sight again. From what I read on that site and the travel site I think it will be for resort guest only. We are staying off-site ...........DARN!!!

Julia -- cute pictures from your cruise. Thanks so much for sharing them! It has motivated me to try to get my act together for shirts for our trip!

 

[rosiejo]

My oldest is 7 and I haven't finished his baby album. I skip around though. Maybe we should have a DDA scrap meet some week-end.

Hey you know - that's not such a bad idea... we could have a virtual meet and scap while we chat

 

[mommy2emmersNmo]

Well I think this catches me up...

Amy- thought you might get the milestone all by your self! How is Alyssa? Love the princess border!

Delinda- Glad to hear that your knee is doing so well.

Becky- Here’s PD for good weather tonight! And more PD that you get to make DC!

Jennifer- How are you feeling this morning? Hope the dentist can take care of your wisdom tooth. Can’t wait to see pictures of Olivia’s Jojo Birthday!

June- Congrats on the milestone and for getting your first one on your birthday!

Paula- Welcome Back! Love the Pal Mickey pictures of the family!

Lynn- Just curious, did they diagnose you with Psuedotumor Cerebri? That is the same reason I had my LP and that’s my diagnosis but they can’t give me a reason.

Clare- Way to go on your assignment!

Denise- I’m so happy to hear how wonderful Rees did! What a trooper he is! Here’s lots of PD for your interview this morning.

Christy- Love the idea of a DDA scrap meet!

Janet- Good to “see” you!

Anne Marie- Daniel is adorable! What a great memory for him!

Jo- I can just picture you in your Hello Kitty patten leather shoes!

Tammi- Thanks for the detective work on the Million Dreams! Make me happy we are changing our dates now!

Marci- Hope the antibiotics do the trick for DH’s arm.

Vicki- So if you get a pair of light up sneakers does that mean that Pal Mickey gets some as well?

Kate- Thanks for sharing Jonette’s wedding picture. How romantic! Makes me dream of a Disney vow renewal!

Julia- Love the cruise pictures. Your kids are beautiful! Great job on the shirts and beach bag!

Beth- Love Tigger! Congrats!

I went to the eye doctor because of headaches. He said he noticed I had pressure on my optic nerve and said it may be a pseudo tumor. He referred me to a Dr. to do the spinal tap. During the spinal tap the Dr. said the fluid was coming out clear and looked o.k. What he couldn't believe is how much fluid was coming out. He said the pressure on my optic nerve was probably excess spinal fluid. I was prescribed a medication........can't remember the name of it.............and took it for about two months and never had anymore problems. The medication was nasty. It made anything with carbonation taste like 5 x's the amount of carbonation in the drinks. I had to lay off soft drinks until I was off the medication. I still get migraine's about 1 every two - three weeks but I just go to a dark quiet room, take excedrin migraine and drink a cup of strong coffee then go to sleep. I am now on blood pressure medication so I can't take any of the presciption medication for migraines. I hope you start feeling better. Keep us updated.

I've entered too. Let me know if/when you get something.

When we took Alyssa at 2.5, we did everything. Or should I say, as much as we could. It's going to be so much fun for you!!

Wow, Lynn! That is almost exactly what happened to me. Except that I didn't have the headaches. I went to the eye dr as I had a few epidsodes of double vision. My pressure was a 32 when they did the LP but the fluid was clear as well. I went on the medicine, Diamox, and had the same reaction with the carbonated beverages along with horrible indigestion.
When I went for my followup in October it was normal. When I was going through all this I had never heard of anything like it and neither had any one else. Glad to know that you haven't had much of a problem with it. I've noticed some increased pressure since the humidity returned. So I think that it must have been related to that last year and the fact that I am just getting older.

 

[julia & nicks mom]

I've entered too. Let me know if/when you get something.

We entered! Julia and I will be sure to send you a postcard from our night in the castle!!!!

I'd invite you and Alyssa to be our guests but you told me you couldn't leave Nicholas at home!!!

We've taken Alyssa at 6 months, 13 months, 18 months, and 23 months...

To avoid the Fantasyland crowds, hit that area of the park early and then get out!

Thus far, Alyssa has never been afraid of characters, but she does show a little apprehension on our first day, so make sure you "practice" with some characters in the park rather than going to a character meal first thing.

Pack lots of snacks and try to schedule some downtime to avoid overstimulation and meltdowns.

Sit near the aisle at shows, just in case you need to head out early.

Of course, utilize fastpasses to avoid spending too much time in lines and research the baby swap rides before you get there too (sorry, I don't know these off the top of my head).

The Disney for Families Board has lots of threads that you may find beneficial too.

Amy
