Oh. My. Gosh.
I'm glad you got a few good days in at the beginning of your trip. But holy moly that is a lot of bad stuff to happen in one trip! I'm so sorry the kids got so sick. You must have been so stressed out and disappointed. Yes, you definitely need a do-over! A solo trip sounds fantastic!
What made it worse was how FREEZING it was! I think me and you snapped a few times telling you how cold it was, it was seriously cold. A CM said that there was supposed to be flurries about 30 minutes North of Orlando?? My SIL called my MIL and said the weather channel was saying it was supposed to snow
Not sure if it ever did but geez, all bad.
I'm way, way too excited for my solo trip! Everyday been checking hours, dining ideas, planning ideas, etc. This solo planning is totally unfamiliar to me, and it is really is completely different than a family trip.
I feel weird liking your post. I am so sorry to hear about your trip! That def sounds like a bust of a trip! Glad to hear everyone is healthy now. And glad that you were able to get through the airplane back, that could have been bad! I mean the whole trip sounds bad.
I always feel like that on Instagram
- someone's pet dies and I like their post
But totally feel ya!
Yeah all that was NOT on our spreadsheet
But solo trip is in the works and i'm beyond ready for it!
Welcome back!
So sorry to hear that your little men got sick on your trip that you all planned out so perfectly. What a nightmare with all the crowds and the cold.
But glad that you get to go on another trip and we are going to hear all about it. Would have wished for you to come in August and join us all (big group of friends .......)
Karin!
I'm so embarrassed. Your Christmas card has been flush against one of our countertops so it's hidden, but it's been prepared since early December
But thank you so much for yours! Love getting cards from DIS'ers!
I saw Alison's post! Who's all going?!
Well, that just sounded horrific! Not fun. AT. ALL!
But, there's a bright horizon and a chance to have it be better, right?
Solo' s a lot of fun and definitely different than going with young kids! You'll love it!
It was so bad. FIL called DH a few days before we talked about me taking a solo trip and mentioned how disappointed me and DH looked.
But YES! A bright horizon with only me!
Ridiculously excited!
Holy crap!
Oh dear.
Oh no. That's too bad.
No! Oh, man... you really had your hands full.
Well, thank goodness for that!
Yay! Good for you! After the last trip, you certainly deserve it!
I'm looking forward to the day when my kids can run to the bathroom on their own instead of puking on us
Then we'll be able to take a fairly successful trip, i'd hope!
Yikes!!! So sorry to hear you all had so much trouble on the trip and poor boys. Good news front is you got to parlay all the heartache into another trip!!! I know its gonna be awesome
Thank goodness the boys didn't fully understand. The day Q got sick, our parents took Calvin to DHS for a while, so at least he got an extra day to play.
I'm so looking forward to this trip! Planning for it is so different I catch myself thinking, "What would they want to do?"
Just me to please this time! Excited to explore more of the new DS and that new Hideaway place!
Disney was very helpful! While the clinic itself took a while, I was just so grateful that it wasn't a hassle to figure out how to get there and how to get back. I usually change out wallets (to a Disney one of course!) and only take cards I'd need. Last second, I stuck my insurance card in. Thank goodness!
Yep that's what i'm telling DH! Thanks for the bday trip!
Oh wow, that sounds awful!!
You all definitely need a re-do! But you should definitely go on your own to test the waters first and do some research for when the 4 of you make it back together.
Research. Yes definitely, research
I can't even imagine what happened as Fran and I spent Christmas and New Year's by ourselves. We did have Christmas Brunch with Jenny and her family, but with no family local, no drama.
I'm glad you had at least a few nice days.
That's crazy!
That's just awful....
Is that what they converted Captain's Grille into?
That's good to know!
Ugh, I'm sorry it didn't work out for you guys. But nice that your DH stepped in and took some responsibility. I wish it wasn't always on me to do that stuff.
That's kind of crazy switching, but you'll at least have a fun time and only you to complain to!
Kind of a foreign concept to me, but if you're both happy that's awesome!
It would have been so cool if you came along because there are a whole bunch of people you know that are going to be joining in!
I believe it is the old Captain's Grille! It is really nice and our food was really good. But we really enjoyed the lounge next to it! So fun.
Ugh I know, so much switching. I check multiple times a day to see if anything has opened up at Jambo for the full stay. This evening there were three nights together at OKW, but nah. My plan for that first night at Jambo is to wake up early (like 6:30am!) and make it to EMH at AK to attempt to ride FoP and figured Jambo was closer to AK than OKW.
I asked Karin so whoever gets to me first, who's all going to this shindig!?! Where at??
