The Mad Chatters thread Part 14

[jaycns]

I am very stuffy. It is very hard to breathe. I guess I'll sleep in the recliner tonight, I don't want to keep DH up by tossing and turning.

Awww...that stinks. So...any plans for your next trip yet??!!!!!

 

[jaycns]

Jay, do you do the DDP on your trips? And do you fly or drive? Our trips are somewhat expensive when we go, I refuse to drive that far with Emily. Too much time in a car with a child with ADD.

We have done with and without the dining plan. We have done the dining plan three times now. I LOVE IT! It makes me happy to have most things all wrapped up in one price.

We drive down. Dh has motion sickness problems (big time) so he loses a whole day on either end feeling sick after he flys. We usually stop part way down for the night. However, we have gone all the way through as well. My boys travel pretty well. It's nice to have a DVD player in the car, assorted handheld games and we tend to leave either very early morning or middle of the night so they sleep a good deal of the way.

Oh yeah!! Got my days planned with the parks, mapped out where we want to have ADR's and I think we have settled on a few CS meals too. The only one we are struggling with is Fantasmic. We did not see it last trip and the DDs want to go, we really don't want to eat at any of the restaurants that are part of the dinner package for Fantasmic, we want to eat at 50's or Sci Fi so we are probably going to try and get in from the stand by line. I'm afraid we won't get it, but I don't want to wait in line for 2 hours either. So that is our only thing we have yet to work out.

How about you? Do you have your days laid out yet?

WOW you are efficient!! What about doing one of those places for lunch (50's or Sci Fi) and then doing a Fantasmic place for dinner? We like the Hollywood and Vine buffet. It's yummy. In the way that Chef Mickey's is. Nothing gourmet...but plenty of fill you up goodness.

 

[jaycns]

OH...Fantasmic is a MUST SEE!! It is utterly and totally amazing! Breath taking. Enchanting. Just WOW. Well, I sort of like it, can't you tell??!!

I am having so much fun planning things out. I just wish they would release the park hours for our Sept. trip at least. That way I would know what I want for my ADRs. I want to get the concierge my list so they can secure them for me on day 180. I just like having my ducks in a row WAY before hand. Some say compulsive....I say well planned.

 

[mom2taylorandemily]

Hey Darlin!!!! How are ya?

 

[jaycns]

You two still here?

Hey Paige, yep, I am awake and I don't see me getting tired any time soon...ugh. I wish I was. How are you doing? How's the headache?

 

[paigevz]

WTH is a PMS meet? I don't have that anymore, I had a hysterectomy about 4 years ago.

But I would love to have dinner with you, Denise and Paige. That would be a blast. You guys tell me what you want to eat and where and I'll make the reservations.

Oh we absolutely must have dinner together. I mentioned I was going and meeting you and Bonnie there Mar, and some of the ones on the PMS thread started saying we should all meet up.

I'm going to be there more than one day. So we could do a separate dinner or lunch, or we could all meet together with the PMSers and the area Chatters.

I want to see anyone and everyone I can on this trip!

 

[mom2taylorandemily]

Jay, your plans look great. I would love to do the up close to the animal safaris. We rode the Kilamanjaro ride at AK last trip and they drove so fast thru the ride, we hardly got any good pics. Kinda made us mad.

 

[paigevz]

I killed it with ibu/tylenol/sleep/water/banishing kids/and valium. It's still there, but just lurking now.

I am behind on my grades of course now, since I didn't do them all weekend............so now I'll be up for hours. I never learn.

Oh I don't mind, I just don't know if I know anyone on that thread. Hey the more the merrier, I say.

I took a sudafed, I'll be up all night, so at least I'll have good company. I have a sinus infection and both ears are infected and my throat was swollen today when I went to Urgent Care. The Dr. said it was probably a virus I caught from one of the kids in school but it turned into a secondary infection. So now I'm on Amoxicillin twice a day for 14 days.

Yeah or you could come over to KY and meet Jay and me for dinner too.

Wow. Poor you.

I don't know what this headache was about........2 days of it...........nausea, blurred vision, whole nine yards. I'm supposed to see a neuro about these..........guess I'll make the appointment tomorrow.

 

[jaycns]

I am so silly, it's one in the mornin' and here I sit on the computer instead of being in bed like a sane person (sorry guys ). WHY will sleep not come? Ahhh...well, at least I have good company (as Mary said). PAIGE....when are the grades due?

 

[mom2taylorandemily]

Well, let me tell ya, that would involve having to drive in the Mountains and hairpin turns around curvy roads. I just absolutely can't do that, when we go to DH's parents house (in the mountains), DH drugs me and doesn't wake me until we get there, I have major anxiety attacks and then want him to drive only 10 miles per hour. I'm a big mountain chicken.
