No...I mean the Cascadia Sangria! I abandoned the other drink when you didn’t give it a glowing review!I DID!!! Back in March when Steve and I stayed at WL! I thought it was just ok remember?
This picture is the most amazing thing, omg. So glad to hear you had so many amazing Dismeets, they're the best, aren't they?!Do not ask what I'm doing in this picture; all I know is Casey told us to pose, and apparently at 46 this is how I pose.
We had lots of fun! The food was great as always BUT, we didn't have our favorite server Rony. He was there but didn't have any openLove that pictures with @kastoney and Casey at dinner, hope dinner was great, it sure looked like it!
He's getting there, little by little each day but still no school. His friends are great kids LOL I'll take a (NY) pizza anytime, too!And yay for Ricky's surgery going well, hope for a speedy recovery! His friends are so awesome! I'd love a pizza when I'm down, lol. Actually I could take pizza anytime...
We did, and I'm so glad we got to meet!Those pictures are fabulous! Looks like y'all had a great time!
Thank you Pain-wise I think it is, although the physical therapy will not be easy when he starts. But he's tough so he'll power through!I hope the worst is over for Ricky.
Well at least that gives what I'm doing an explanation!Sounds like you had a great trip. You look like you’re doing the sprinkler in the Citrico’s pic.
These guys are awesome. Five from the basketball team and two who played last year and didn't make it this year. They stayed for SIX hours lol, and for kids who are extremely active that's a long time to sit. They played football and basketball on PS4 and were going nuts, laughing and yelling, it was so great to hear; Ricky was still in some pain but they cheered him up so much. Then yesterday two more came over for a couple hours after schoolSo thankful the surgery went well. Very cool his friends wanted to stop by.
Very true. When he goes back to p/t we know that's going to be tough; but so is he and yup, he'll do what needs to be done and won't give up. These first few days after the surgery are just hard also but the good thing is we know it's all uphill from here and he has a goal to work towardsWell the phrase originated in weight lifting, but it applies to surgery and physical therapy also...no pain no gain. As much as I hate it for him and for you to see, the pain is part of the making it better process and from your descriptions, he can do it.
lol I like that!ell him to put on his ride face.
Thank you and he does, he's very lucky!I hope Ricky's knee heals quickly. It sounds like he has a great group of friends.
I'm glad you're in one!Those pics are great!!!!!
They all came over and he had a great time! Really cheered him up and meant a lotI am so glad Ricky's surgery is behind you now and sending you lots of well wishes for a smooth recovery. That was so sweet of his teammates - I hope he is up to pizza and hanging out very very soon!
I know, but like I said to Ashley @vernie, you guys live so close you should just make it a point to go when I'm down therehate that we miss all of your Disney trips by just days or weeks I guess that just leaves me something to look forward to in future! All of your dismeets look like lots of fun! Can't wait to hear about them.
Thank youSaw your updated about Ricky on FB...so sweet! Glad he's doing better.
lol, it does take coordination! And sometimes it doesn't work out but it's always worth trying!Love all of the DISMEET photos...maybe one day I will meet others here, but I have a hard enough time meeting the friends I know who LIVE in Florida when I'm there!
Whee! So happy you guys are going back again!Hoping I'll get my October TR updates done at least before we leave on our next trip...in just over THREE WEEKS! EEEK!
Thank you, the surgery did go very well and now we just deal with recovery. And our trip was fun I need to get over to your PTR, you guys must all be getting excited as your trip gets closer!I'm glad your son's surgery went well! It sounds like you had a whirlwind of a time (in a good way!). Can't wait to read more!
Hi there everyone, we're back from our quick Nov. trip AND, Ricky had his surgery yesterday. It went perfectly and yesterday when we got home he was comfortable and not in much pain; unfortunately when the nerve blocks in his knee wore off early this morning, severe pain set in. It was really tough today seeing a kid with a very high pain tolerance in SO much pain, but now it's a bit better and we know today and tomorrow will be the hardest days. A couple of his friends wanted to surprise him today and stop by but I told them as sweet as that was (it truly warmed my heart) he just wasn't up to it; but tomorrow 5 of his basketball friends are planning on bringing pizza over in the afternoon, so we're hoping Ricky can get out of bed and move to his man cave downstairs to hang for a bit. Thank you everyone for your kind words before his surgery!
However I do want to share these pictures from our Nov. trip with you:
DISMEET #1 with Kelly @buzzrelly at the Poly!
DISMEET #2 with Su-Lynn and Steve @chunkymonkey at Epcot!DISMEET #3 with Jenny @Jenny Sanders at Mizners! Hoping to meet up again with her and her DH Joe on our March trip!
DISMEET #4 with Kari @kastoney!
DISMEET #5 with the entire Family Stone at Citricos @kastoney!
I was really bummed I narrowly missed Ashley @Vernie822 and Ashley @ashw100, and I do hope we can meet on a future trip!
Thank you and I know you're busy but it's always nice to have you here. His surgery was yesterday, luckily it went great but today isn't so good Tons of pain once the nerve blocks wore off and hard to see him that way, but he'll get through. Should be the worst day pain-wise I hope!
I'm happy I make you laugh! I went over to your DL TR about a week ago or so? But no new posts since I was last there so I'm trying my best to keep up
Nov. trip was really good, I'll do a little recap here. Excited about March! The boys haven't been in March but Steve and I went on our first adults only trip in March 2015. That week happened to be extra chilly but otherwise the weather is supposed to be nice so I'm looking forward to that.
I think we both still look fabulous:
hi Santa Stitch!
It's a great perk but you can't get it ahead of time nor make FP's so I had to get GS to add me to Steve's. They could only do this on a couple so they gave me "anytime" FP's for the ones they couldn't add me to, which were basically any that had no availability left.
Thank you He went back to school today for half a day, so he's getting there slowly but surely.I'm so glad to hear Ricky is out of surgery and recovering! I can only imagine how difficult it has been for him with the pain, and for you and Steve having to watch him go through it. I hope every day gets a little better and he's back to himself soon.
Well..............ok lol!!Amazing!! Look at all the awesome meets you had!! You should definitely a least share some of this trip in some form of TR-ing.
It's going to be awhile until he's totally back to himself, but with all the support from his friends and his coaches I think it'll happen sooner rather than laterI’m glad he’s on the mend and hope he gets to feeling as close to normal as he can as soon as possible..
Oh cool, I'll have to get over there!But I did post 2 updates this past weekend, so I’m trying to get back into things.
I think with younger boys the P&P is definitely better than the dessert parties. At P&P, besides eating there's things for them to do: interact with Smee and Hook, dance to the music, lots of space to move around. Then on the boat there's the singing and really, just being on the boat is different! At the dessert parties there isn't as much room to move and not much else to do besides eat and wait for the fireworks.Love the P&P review! We've looked into the dessert parties for future trips but now I'm wondering if the P&P might be better for our two boys. Dallas would probably love it now but Griffin probably wouldn't for a few more years.

That's very cool...good to hear he's able to do that so quickly.Thank you He went back to school today for half a day, so he's getting there slowly but surely.
Hopefully the above will be an indicator it will be sooner than later.It's going to be awhile until he's totally back to himself, but with all the support from his friends and his coaches I think it'll happen sooner rather than later
lol! This was our first time back since August, but even though you haven't been back to WDW you are ALL over the place traveling! Jealous!
but tomorrow 5 of his basketball friends are planning on bringing pizza over in the afternoon,
DISMEET #2 with Su-Lynn and Steve @chunkymonkey at Epcot!
