I took DD8 to the dr. yesterday. She tested positive for flu and strep. :confused3 She's a pretty sick kiddo. No tamiflu though, dr. said it's more important to treat the strep as it could go to other organs? If she is still running a hi-temp. Monday she wants me to bring her back in for a re-check.

Wow! That's one sick little girl! That combination was going through out school through March - it knocked a lot of teachers out for a week - I was lucky to have avoided it. Hope she is on the mends soon!
 

It's been dang near forever since I posted in here, I have a LOT to go back and read!

I'm sorry to hear about the sick kiddos and I hope they all feel better soon!!

DD17 is having knee surgery on April 18th, and her recovery time is 6-12 weeks which puts her at possibly recovering the week we leave for disney. Her surgeon says that with her being so young and active that he expects her to be recovered closer to the 6 week mark than the 12, and that there's no doubt that she'll be fine for disney. I'm a little worried about her walking around all day, but he said that by that time she should be healed anyway, and that the walking would be good for her. If for some reason this proves to be not true, we said we'd rent her a wheelchair lol.

I started looking at all the fast pass selections, and I have a general "tour" planned out. Nothing too specific but I'm ready to plan my fast passes when it's my time! Come on May 20th!!!

We also made plans for legoland, instead of taking a "rest day" and staying at the resort we're going over to legoland for the day after we eat at chef mickeys, this will be DD8's special day because it's all the stuff he wants to do. On the way back to louisiana we have 2-3 beach days depending on how long we want to stay so we can get plenty of rest then.

We've worked out dog sitting! My sister is moving back home from Chicago this summer so between her and her husband, my mom, my brother, and our friend on base the dogs are covered and taken care of.

We've booked DD17's flight from Nebraska, unfortunately we out it off for about a week too long. I had checked the prices and found a flight for $248 round trip and we kept waiting until it was a little closer so we were sure of the dates she wanted to be here before booking. When we finally settled on the dates, the ticket price had magically gone up to $345 instead. So lesson learned, next time book early.....

We've also decided to leave on Friday the 18th after work, and just driving as far as we can until we're tired and get a hotel room for the night. If we could make it to mobile then we'd drive 7 hours friday night, and 7 1/2 the next day. It would just help break it up a little so we're not in the car for almost 15 hours straight. Plus we'd be able to spend some time at downtown disney on Saturday or at the resort instead of getting there close to midnight and just crashing.

Only one more month of school for me! Let me tell you, algebra is going to be the death of me..... I'll be glad when I'm done with this class, I did homework for 3 hours yesterday and then had an excruciating headache!

Ok now I'm going to read the last 50 pages that I missed!

:welcome: to our great group! Glad to have you. We always go during the summer and as long as you pace yourself, hydrate well and make good use of the attractions with AC and with longer amounts of times in the AC, you should be good. I am asthmatic and have never had a problem. I will add you to the front page.
 
We're going July 13-18, I'm a single mom and it's just going to be me and my little guy for his 10th birthday (it's a surprise!)

Staying at AKL villas - Kidani! Can't wait!

:welcome:, we are so glad to have you! I have never been able to keep a secret from my kids about a Disney trip. I can't keep the trip a secret. The biggest trip secret I kept about Disney was from all of them about the resort we were staying in. They all thought we were staying in Coronado Springs but I had upgraded to The Contemporary in the A-frame part. They were so excited.
 
anyone thinking of hitting Typhoon Lagoon on the 16th? Most of our group is going off-property this day but my daughter and I aren't.
Just thought it would be nice to say hi to some dis'sers if anyone is going to be around.

And I wanted to write a post to see my countdown! heehee:)
 
Hey guys, I'm about to cancel a kona café reservation if anyone wants to snag it.

The reservation is July 18 at 9:05am

Yes! It's like torture waiting to book these FP+ selections. :hourglass I keep changing what I want to book. MK will be the worst park to try to book, especially with the addition of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.

We decided to go with 3 full days this time around too, just to make sure we can do what everyone wants. We are the rope drop kind too....it works!

We are also hitting RD a lot in July! Although from what I understand, if you want to meet Anna and Elsa to still try for a 9am FP+ for them. I guess the thought is that the FP+ line will be crazy long for them! But I guess you could just go there first at RD instead and get in standby. Might have to try that out!

I keep consulting DH with what rides he really wants to go on as he is the thrill-junkie in our household. I just want to make sure he gets to do everything that he wants and that DD3 does too! I'm just so happy to be at WDW that I don't really care what I get to do. Being there is all I need! :-)
