Very excited that all my kids will be going!!!!

Another calendar page has been filled......3 more months to totally fill & then the excitement of our travel month begins!!

Been dealing with a house full of sickies!! Been going on since the 15th of March. I think the worse is over but until the last nose becomes dry.....its a wait & see.......

Hope everyone is Disney planning or Disney dreaming!!!! It's what gets me thru the day!

You have a new ticker don't you?

You have a new ticker don't you?

Yuppers....I had changed it to one that had pics of Walt over the years but it was from a site that the DIS was having issues with so they deleted everyone's tickers that came from that site.....had to find a new one!!

Tomorrow it is officially April!! I love it when we reach a new calendar month. It makes July feel that much closer!

Our Disney GAD vouchers are going towards the FP bonuses!!! Ok, 3 of them will be.....I'm using mine for the Mickey Hat figurine with pin set!! We plan on using one voucher on 3 different days. You get 6 bonus FP's for you & up to 5 more people in your party. So going in the heat of summer....I think the bonus FP's will be very nice!!!

The whole Elmer's thing just pisses me off. I never did hear back from Corporate....who at least should have acknowledged that we weren't treated fairly. I went to the DisAbilities thread & got blasted by one person saying she works for a place that takes complaints & she said I would be called a "snowflake mother" (whatever the heck that means) & they would laugh it off. Didn't really make me feel all warm inside.......I won't be posting on that thread again!!

Doernbecher's went fine. They don't think Michayla is having seizures (we didn't think so either)....but everyone is being very thorough.

I love my new tie-dyed shirt!!!! Easy to find me!!

Anthony's birthday went great & it is hard to believe the twins adoption finalized a year ago!!! We were celebrating in Disneyland!!!!

Hopefully we'll get some help with Anthony. He does seem to be settling down with the change in meds....but we are very concerned about his lack of retention. We'll see the doc on April 2nd.

Glad you came back by!!!!!!

Great use of the GAD vouchers, love to see a pic of the Mickey Hat figurine and pins when you get them :-] Those bonus FPs sure will be helpful on those busy days.

Bummer that Elmers never got back to you, I hate it when companies think they are big enough to ignore their customer's concerns. But even bigger bummer about the DISer in the DISabilities thread being so callous and flippant with you. I feel for anyone who attempts to submit a complaint to whatever company she works for.

Glad that Michayla isn't having seisures and good to hear they're still doing the due dilligence and being thorough with her case And may things continue to move forward with Anthony to help him build retention and keep more focus both at home and in the classroom

MY REPORT HAS A NEW NAME.........10 PEOPLE.......That's right, we've added another person to our trip! My oldest son, Nick, will be joining us!! Now, all my kids will be going!!!!

I called Disney Travel to add him to our package(s) & with the new ticket promo......we're getting a $60 credit on Package 1 & it cost me $143 to add Nick to Package 2......so I guess it only cost us $83!!

I also called our 2 travel night motels & got an extra room for both nights.....so we're set!!

Mike's mom, Betty (who is going to Disneyland with us) took us to the Newport Aquarium for the day. We had a blast.....Anthony was so excited to see the sharks!! The twins did really good & we're pretty happy most of the day. We even ate at 2 restaurants & not one complaint about Michayla playing with her spoon!!!

Wow, that's a great price for adding another person and nice that it was so easy to add a room on your hotel stays. Yay for Betty taking you all to the Newport Aquarium! I have heard wonderful things about it and we'll be stopping by there on June 27th as part of our big beginning of summer camping trip.

We're going to travel the Oregon coast from border to border, stopping for 3 days at Harris beach, 3 days at Sunset Bay, and 3 days at Fort Stevens! We'll get 9 days of camping with full hook-ups for the price of a 2 day stay at a run of the mill hotel - whoohoo! Oh, and interesting tidbit - in my planning for it I stumbled across the fact that this summer is the 25th anniversary of the movie The Goonies. Astoria is doing a big celebration at the beginning of June for it with music and other events.

Yay for the calendar pages filling up! Hope the days go by quickly and the sickies all go away soon All the best Disney dream to you and your too!

Very frustrating to be blown off....but just seals the point that I will not be eating at their restaurants anymore.

Glad that Michayla isn't having seisures and good to hear they're still doing the due dilligence and being thorough with her case And may things continue to move forward with Anthony to help him build retention and keep more focus both at home and in the classroom

Thank You!

It really is fascinating at the aquarium.....if you need a place for lunch or dinner while in Newport....go to the "Flashbacks". It's an old style burger place with the best milkshakes!!! It is just south of the big green bridge on Hwy 101.

That sounds like a lot of fun....I hope you have great weather!!! Fun fact about Goonies!! I just watched that movie (for the first time about a month ago.....can you believe it??)

Yay for the calendar pages filling up! Hope the days go by quickly and the sickies all go away soon All the best Disney dream to you and your too!

Me too.....I'm ready to go!!!!

 

[DizNee Luver]

I posted a picture (earlier in my PTR) of my planning book that I've used the last 2 trips.....but since we are taking some side trips & non-Disney days....this book just wasn't big enough.....so here's the new notebook & I actually tabbed the days & sections so we could find the stuff we needed!!!

Oh My......I really hope these days fly by....otherwise I'll be taking a library with us on this trip......

[DizNee Luver]

Woo hoo!!! I made the big book of everything!!!

Yes you did!!!

Started a new diet on Tuesday & have lost 3 lbs in 3 days.....loving it!!!

Also got a new hair-do........went from long straight to medium length curly!! Much easier to deal with....since I don't get a lot of "me" time to primp, etc.

Hey Laurie, I've been kind of a lurker. How did Anthony's appointment go? Ok I hope.

Thank you for asking. I was going to ask too.

Hey Laurie, I've been kind of a lurker. How did Anthony's appointment go? Ok I hope.

Thank you for asking. I was going to ask too.

The doctor figures he had traumatic brain injury...partly because he stopped reacting to being rolled off the couch to hit the floor....that was a pretty good indicator. He is going to refer us to Portland to maybe look deeper into this problem.
The good thing he said was, with his age, he can be re-taught. (or maybe, re-think the way they are teaching him). He should be able to get additional help in the learning center at school if we ever get a definite diagnosis.

They'll just keep monitoring things & hopefully with his IEP we can get things figured out. Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing for sure what happened during the first 13 mths of his life or during the 4 mths he went home after his 3rd birthday. We've heard rumors...but nothing concrete.

thanx for asking....we just go day by day & hopefully something will start clicking with him that will help him advance in his school work.
