Summer fun. Hopefully

Well we finally have a plan for our August vacation since we had to cancel Mexico. We are road tripping again 😂 First stop is Fairmont Hot Springs in the Kootenays for two nights. And we splurged and are staying at the Fairmont resort there. Then it's on to Calgary via Banff. Doing to zoo in Calgary then going on to Drumheller. On the way back we will stay in Red Deer on Sylvan lake and then finally Salmon Arm back here in BC before getting back home. And because we won't have to isolate our youngest I can now buy tickets to the PNE so we can go the last weekend in August vs Labor Day weekend.
Oops - never mind, I should have read the next page in the thread before replying. Have fun in DR. :wave2:
 
Yes, seems we plan the same way :) when is your next Disney vacation? I have December booked but probably going to postpone until at least mid January so my 11 year old can get vaccinated before we go (he turns 12 early December so I think he'll be good by then, but reluctant to move it until I know more about vaccines for the younger kids). Maybe we'll end up there at the same time too lol

We are there well maybe Dec 16-29 lol
 
Well after spending 18 hours trying to just get antibiotics for kiddo, my short trip to TO is now in jeopardy. Health care in the age of covid is beyond ridiculous. Phone to get an emergency appointment at 8, talk to the nurse at 930, get an appointment to be seen by an actual doctor for 515, then told to go to ER at CHEO because she doesn't want to prescribe the wrong antibiotics. Get to ER at 630, get triage at 720, sit in various places until 130 when the doctor finally sees us to prescribe antibiotics. Kiddo was so anxious about the whole thing he threw up, is still throwing up, and now I can't get him to keep the meds down. Very frustrated because if the family doctor had just given us a prescription he would be feeling better instead of like this, with maybe 6 hours of decent sleep. Any way. I have until 2 to cancel the hotel, no idea if I can move wonderland or to when and feeling very defeated.
 
Some good and bad news for those going to Wonderland.
Good: I was able to book a third reservation this morning as per their new reservation allotment of 3 at a time.
Bad: Fast Lane went up by $9 per person.

More bad news, Fast Lane went up yet again :( It's now $105 for Fast Lane+

I really should have pulled the trigger back when it was $89

Omg...that is so frustrating and upsetting. I hope your little one is ok. As you say, if only the doctor would have just seen him and prescribed the needed antobiotics he would be feeling better. Am really sorry. Hope things improve real soon.

He did manage to keep the antibiotics down this morning, I hope he will feel better soon, and he insists we are still going to Wonderland. Just a crazy long day/night. For what seemed like nothing but anxiety on his part.

Glad he was able to take the antobiotics today. Poor kid. He seems strong and determined! :-)

I hope things work out. Take a good nap today and see if that helps. I know you have been looking forward to getting away.

I had a similar experience with my youngest DS. He decided I should call the doctor in the middle of the night. Now that would mean waiting until they open at 9am and then begging for one of the few appointments they would have that morning. Decided I wasn't going to get any more sleep so we just headed off to emergency (bypaseed the doctors office altogether as they were just going to end up sending us to emerg anyway) . I figured getting in the queue in the middle of the night was better than waiting until 10 or 11am. We were on our way home by 11am.
 
I feel so grateful that my GP has done regular office hours and visits through this whole mess—no interruption in service. I realise how rare that is; my 83 year old mother in law hasn’t been able to see her dr live since January 2020. I’m sorry your son is unwell and doubly sorry that accessing care has been so needlessly difficult. No excuses for that. We are over a year and a half into this. GPS should see their patients. Full stop.
 
Thank you both. He is doing better today, swelling is almost all gone. I am torn between being mad about not just getting the prescription and guilty for not just taking him to the ER in the first place. The whole thing is frustrating. I hate wasting time in the ER, for us and the doctor there who should be able to focus on actual emergencies! We are still going Monday, but of course now the forecast is for thunder storms Tuesday when we are supposed to be at Wonderland. But we will go any way. Hope for the best. I am also excited to go to the Disney store. I am determined to get myself something fun.
 
We are enjoying our Toronto visit, the zoo was nice but HOT. Tomorrow promises thunder storms at Wonderland :( we shall see I guess. Kiddo enjoyed spending all my money at the mall, and we go swimming in 5 minutes. Asked for bedding for the pull out sofa, will ask again at the front desk when we go down to swim. Nice suite though, nice to have freezer space too.

Oh no . I’m glad he’s feeling a little better the zoo was indeed miserably hot today. We didn’t brave the pool , we ran into quite a few massless ppl in the lobby Saturday night I just couldn’t do it

There were more people swimming at a time than I thought there would be, and the pool is very shallow, but after the heat today it was nice. I only hope wonderland ends up ok tomorrow.

i felt safer at wonderland than calypso . There was one lady who got on klockwerx didn’t have a mask they went and got her one . The ride started and the poor ride guy was screaming on the PA I gave you a mask to put on please put it in . She just smirked . I really wish cases like that would be met by security and escorted out .
I hope he’s feeling better and rides are good. You guys got fastlane too ? My kids said without it they wouldnt have ridden hardly anything .
Have a great day tomorrow ..

We got fastlane, all day dining, all day drinks and some photo thing. I don't know. We got everything lol. He is feeling a lot better. Hopefully I remember to give him the antibiotics tonight and tomorrow.
 
Wonderland is not Disney. Those are some BIG coasters, and it is very hot today. Also, why does fastlane only work on some rides, and not others that also have hour plus waits? Now I need to plan a Disney trip I think.

Yeah it’s no Disney. We have fun there. Buts it’s not the same thing. I have no idea why fast lane is only on some rides as we never buy it.

There are two different types of fast lane. Fast Lane and Fast Lane +

FL is all rides minus the top 3, FL + is all rides and costs more than FL
