    Best masks for toddlers

    Thanks! I think the real issue is that he hasn’t had to wear one. I don’t take him out much except daycare - and they don’t have to wear one there. My DD 8 has no problems with wearing a mask. I think I’ll work on taking him into stores and other outings where masks are needed to get him more...

    Best masks for toddlers

    The title sort of says it all, I’m looking for a mask my toddler will keep on, or a few. I plan on multiple options for him to keep him masked but am hoping someone has some good recommendations. He doesn’t have to wear one to daycare and doesn’t go out with me to stores, etc. so rarely is...

    Phased closures when staying at the shades of green

    First I know that this is a new situation and Disney can decide to change everything when they finally reopen and that to an extent everything is massive speculation. That said, assuming they operate at 50% capacity how do phased closures work for guests staying at the shades of green. My Dad is...

    Masks - really ?

    A lot of locations have started to and most likely will continue to require face masks for a while - if I’m going to have to wear one I might as well have Mickey Mouse on it. Besides I know if I place an order with Disney they will fulfill it or return my money if they can’t fulfill the order -...

    Will you be taking your family to Disney before a cure/vaccine is found for Covid 19?

    I agree with a pp, my brother in law is a surgeon at a NYC hospital and has told us numerous times that the goal of social distancing is to keep the hospitals from being overwhelmed, but that everyone will get it. It’s important because if they are overwhelmed then even more will die, and I will...

    Which resort?

    Trying to decide which resort to choose. Really it's down to CBR vs AKL BUT my 7 year old DD is lobbying for AoA so I figured I'd throw it into the mix. Really, for me, it's the resort amenities. Specifically the pools. I am planning a trip in July and want a few resort days where I'm...

    How are your kids handling all this?

    DD7 is ready to play with her friends and tired of her little brother, DS2. It’s hard because we know DH was exposed to COVID19 at work so we have to isolate for a while longer and really no one should be out but all the kids in the neighborhood are outside playing together. It makes it...

    Why so many negative Coronavirus results?

    It also depends on the false negative rate for the test. You essentially have 4 options, a true positive, a true negative, a false positive and a false negative. There can be factors for why the results are not always 100 percent accurate including how much virus the patient is shedding (ie in...

    Families with kids that are home from school....

    too true. He needs to go back to work-I almost think he is worse then the kids! At least we each have an office - if I had to share I’d go crazy (well crazier).

    Families with kids that are home from school....

    Anyone here also trying to keep up with work demands. I manage a team and am trying to telework while teaching my 7 year old and taking care of the 2 year old. My ya and is 100 percent telework now as well. Anyway since we were exposed via my husband to COVID19 we can’t send the youngest to...

    Families with kids that are home from school....

    I need them in a schedule - the first few days have been chaos so I’m sitting down today and coming up with a schedule. Today is also the first day school is sending out homeschooling packets. So I’ll try for a schedule Thursday and Friday and modify as needed from there. But this working at...

    If the closure is extended beyond 3/31, when do you think it will be announced?

    I think 7 days sounds about right - I also assume that the park will be shut down through April and at this point would not be surprised if it extended into May. Right now nothing would surprise me.

    Daycare staying open

    My daycare is giving us 2 weeks of not paying the reservation fee. But it’s a large daycare (a kindercare). Also, normally the large ones allow you to pay a reservation fee - 1/2 of the normal week, at least in my area (it is literally part of vacation planning for me, I’m paying x for the trip...

    What are you doing with your kids during the Coronavirus shut down!

    I’m looking for ideas to keep them occupied. I work full time and am authorized to telework during the shutdown so I’ll be home with them but I have a first grader and a 2 year old. They normally have school / activities during the day and I’ll still have to do work so I can’t keep them...

    Yes, you can lose a child at the park--and everything turn out ok

    We lost our 6 year old DD. We were coming out of a meet and greet with tinkerbell. It was very late and a long day, I told my mom, sisters, and brother that I was going to run into the center of the square and look at the castle before we headed out. I thought DD was with them, apparently they...

    Are schools getting out later?

    We go until early June (very small private school in northern VA) - it seems like they are going to send home homework for us to do the teaching. Ya- I get to work from home and take care of my 2 year old and now homeschool my first grader... oh well, I completely understand and realize there is...

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    Is everything normal in your neck of the woods?

    My work (small cybersecurity firm in northern VA) has said that all employees must work from home with the end date at TBD. It’s impacting assessments of data centers for our clients, etc. on the bright side I got to bring my work monitor home- it’s a massive 43 in curved 4K monitor.
