You're making me look forward to the trip even more...it's so close I can feel it already! Love eating at Cracker Barrel in the road...we don't have any in NYC. They make such great pancakes and available all day. I also love their grilled chicken tenders and their biscuits though!

Safe travels to you continuing on your journey to WDW!

Good morning all. My poor DS7 woke up a little before 6am this morning to tell us he threw up in his bed. I feel so bad for him. It happened one more time right after that (made it to the bathroom this time, sorry to get a little graphic here), and he is now resting comfortably (sleeping) on the love seat in the living room. Of course my first thought was, better now and not at WDW like our last trip in 2012. That happened to him one night in the middle of our trip, then he was fine the rest of the trip. Then it was a miserable car ride home to NY for him, as he was sick in the car as well. We came home a day early on that trip (didn't stay in Williamsburg, VA for Busch Gardens). Now I'm getting nervous for the trip, as this brings back those memories. I really hope everyone is ok on the trip. For some bizarre reason also, I have this huge phobia of throwing up so I don't deal with it well, especially when sharing a confined space like that with someone who is sick. It's the one thing I dread when taking care of my kids. Bloody scrapes and cuts don't bother me, nor do runny noses or anything else, but a stomach virus is the worst. So now I'm paranoid that we will all catch this from him and doing everything to take precaution, like I always do when this happens.

Wow. Didn't realize it had been so long since I had checked in. There were pages and pages of posts. We are 16 days out for our first trip. I was doing a lot of planning and am now feeling a little overwhelmed. I want to do so much more than all the plans that I am reading. We can't do it all, right?

I'm very overwhelmed now too. Not only with the planning, but also everything that I have to get done between now and when we leave on July 18th. I did a ton of cleaning yesterday...my big cleaning time is beginning of summer when school is out, since I'm a teacher and I have the time. Getting all of that done did make me feel better, but we are so busy the next couple of weeks and I need to make sure to keep il with everything because I must leave my house in perfect spotless condition whenever I go away, even if it is only overnight. Just a thing I have. I prefer to come home to a beautiful clean house. It kind of softens the blow of the vacation being over!

My husband always teases me because I try to pull this every time we go. Can we just add one more night?? Ha!! A few times we have added at POP and its been so fun! Enjoy

I know. It's so tempting to keep adding days. I'm looking forward to exploring a new resort and walking over to Art of Animation and exploring there as well.

Me, too! I've checked in often on the July FB group, but neglected the Disboards! Too busy ending the school year, catching up on a thousand household chores that go neglected while I am busy teaching, and trying to add a beach vacay to our Dis plans. Then I started considering all of the ADRs again....I think I have it all sorted now, and yesterday I finally went to mysdisneyexperience and figured out the fastpass+ ressies. Whew! Now I am hoping to relax and enjoy the anticipation for a few weeks before I start fretting over the packing (so many things to possibly forget!). In the words of one Frozen character, "let it go!" You are going to have the time of your life, even if you don't do it all!

I need some info, please, from any of you experienced ME users. We have always driven since we live in SC and it only takes about 6.5 hours. This year we have family joining us from PA and NC who will be flying. Weirdly, we were sent ME tags and a packet before we even knew anyone was flying. Once flights were booked, we called and added flight info and were told to just use the tags that were sent. Even to have them use the ones with our names on them if they needed extra. Is that ok since its all on the same reservation? I just feel like its weird to have our names on luggage on a plane we wont be on?

Question is...we have no confirmation that the ME reservation has been finalized since the original packet didn't have any flight info in it. I don't see anywhere in MDX that shows the ME reservation, we didn't get an email confirmation, etc... Is there somewhere we can go and see that everything is in order just to verify?

Thanks!!

DS7 has it too. He woke up with it at 6:00 this morning. I hate dealing with stomach flu, I feel so bad for my kids when they're sick and I think stomach viruses are the worst. I have a phobia of throwing up so it's worse than just disliking it...I actually fear it. So far he is much better though. It lasted about 4 hours this morning, then an hour later we started to give him tiny sips of water and he was fine. We "graduated" to lollipops to get some sugar into him, and at 6:30 he has a quarter of a plain pretzel roll. He was still hungry so I let him have an ice pop, then he asked for more food so I gave him a few pretzel goldfish. So far so good. He's sound asleep right now.

I also cleaned my bathroom today very well with bleach solution. When these viruses are in the house I feel like dipping the whole house in bleach! I'm praying no one else here gets this.

I hope you feel better, get a lot of rest and fluids when you can. Probiotics are also very good for you. In case it's norovirus, bleach is the only thing that actually kills it from hard surfaces. That's why I always clean with bleach when someone in the house has a stomach virus, just in case it's noro. If it's the same virus my son has, it seems to be a quick one.

Hope your son continues to improve & everyone else stays healthy :
