The TRIP of all Trips... Ana's MAW PTR... *TR STARTED* Link- Post #1901 Pg. 127

[KatMark]

We got a call today from CCMC and have a date for Juliana's next ultrasound, x-ray, clinic visit, and the ever dreaded blood work.. it is next Tuesday, Aug 10th, at 8:30am. We don't tell Juliana about her appointments unless it is absolutely necessary. Hopefully this will be the day her doctor tells us we can stretch out her visits to 6 months. We have been thinking that he was going to tell us this for the last three visits but it hasn't happened yet, so I'm not going to hold my breath.

OK... here is what my calendar looks like so far for our trip. With out tentative arrival date of December 1st.

I know it is small, so incase you can't read it it says December 1st arrive in Orlando and December 7th head home. Here are some of the things we would like to fit into this trip (bolded are must-do's):

• See Mel's cousin & family
• Relax (yea right)
• MVMCP
• Princess Tea at the Grand Floridian
• Sea World
• Universal Studios
• A day at MK
• Wishes @ MK
• Epcot (Future World.. thinking we have to skip World Showcase)
• Osborne Lights
• Some rides in DHS
• Go to the Christmas Party @ GKTW (Thursday night)
• DTD?
• A few ADRs
• Spend time at GKTW

I'm sure there is more that I will add to this list.. but I feel like it is going to be hard to fit all this in 6 days... possibly 5 depending on flight times. This is going to be unlike any trip we have ever taken.

Oh, I hope the doctor says that you can now make it every six months (hopefully her package arrives in time and she can take some of her stuff with her to keep her occupied).

One thing to add to the list -- if the Main Street Electrical Parade is still going (they have extended it indefinitely) while you are there, be sure to see it if you never have (which my guess is you haven't).

 

[that's nice]

Something to consider, WDWToday (a podcast) is holding their Reunion event from Dec 1-5. You might want to check out their calendar and see if anything appeals to you!

Maybe we'll pass each other in the parks!

Thanks for that info.... I will check out their schedule!


SO UMMMMMMMM you are going to be there then???

I'm really hoping for 6 months! I'm sure Ana is too!

Hummm what could be in her package...

Interesting... I can see this list getting going instead of shorter!

I'm sure you'll get lots more suggestions too.

We sent some Disney stuff -- Activity book, coloring book, crayons, playing cards (I think), Princess sign, etc.

Check out your TR for my comment there.

Calendar is looking good so far. I'm sure your list will be getting longer. I will be hoping and praying that Ana's doctors appt will be every 6 months instead of the 3 months. I too don't tell the kids about upcoming appts.

Hi Tim!
I’m about 4 pages too late – but I LOVE the pic of Juliana with her stuffed animals! She is adorable.

I’m hoping you get the good news too that the appts will switch to 6 months.

Here's hoping the visits can be stretched to 6 months!

I'm sure that list is going to be very long... we just have to decide what is going to be 'important' to us on this trip.

I'm hoping for 6 month appointments!!!

WOW!!!!!!!!

WDW Today was the one of the podcasts you suggested to me a while back... I can actually listen to this one!

I thought you were going to be there in December? I'd love to be able to meet up with you!

 

[All7OfUs]

Ya'll are the WORST kind of enablers there are!! I love it!!


I really, really hope for Juliana that she can go to the 6 month regimen!! I think it stinks she has to get poked every 3 months as it is.

If it were me, the top thing for her trip would be the GF Tea. So girly-girl!!

Tell me about it!!!!! I guess we can be the BEST kind of enablers...

Yeah, there's NO way you can do WS. YOu know as well as I do, it's a whole day thing. sometimes more.

I was surprised you put the MVMCP below rides in DHS, and FW. I really think Ana would L.O.V.E that with the marching soldiers and gingerbread men.

 

[J'sMum]

Crossing fingers for the 6 month mark ! sending well wishes and lots of 's

All of this is totally doable! Even the relax part.

We will see about December. WDW Today is one of my favorite podcasts and the people that run it are really great guys - so I would like to hopefully participate in a reunion at some point. I missed the one last year... And I still have some things on my Christmas at Disney bucket list to do.

 

[Flossbolna]

You are first!!!!

I started this without telling anybody.. LOL I wanted to get some of the info on here before I spread the news. Although the observant ones will see the link in my signature.

After being the first poster, I am sorry that I kind of dissappeared! I just did not want to take up space on the first page since people like to be on it! And then I was on vacation.

But it seems that it really took some time until others found your PTR! What a story about Juliana! I hope her appointment next week goes as you hope it will!

I'm trying to replay from my phone... again.lol

WS is out.... it just takes too long.

Mvmcp is a whole night ordeal... where dhs can be done in s fre hound with the gac

I would skip Sea World and Universal until the warmer weather and when you have more time. We've not done Sea World in 13 years (since Markie was 9) and we've not done Universal since 2004 when we went with Andy and his "then" girlfriend for his high school graduation (we went to the "OLD" people side, and they went to Islands of Adventure).
