    Getting through 5 surgeries with Disney therapy ♡ A Couple's Feb 2021 PTR

    Life is on hold, so is the trip, and it's ok. Well, obviously, we now have no idea if that trip will happen. You may wonder what the heck I'm talking about, since many are only talking about a few weeks until things go back to normal, and WDW only announced it would be closed until April 1st...

    Getting through 5 surgeries with Disney therapy ♡ A Couple's Feb 2021 PTR

    Welcome @eliseisawkward and @rdkeim ! :wave2: So glad to see you join my super-early PTR journey 🙂 It's quite amazing @eliseisawkward that your friend gets to work in WDW! I hope they enjoy it as much as I think I would. Does Disney offer special accommodations to help with EDS? And no need to...

    New surgery count... My my, has it been over 2 weeks already since I posted last?! How time flies... But trust me, the trip has not left my mind. I've clung to this, my Disney therapy, more than you could ever imagine. You may not have noticed, but I almost changed my PTR title, because it...

    Fuzzy Disney math Here is what I got when I redid my Disney math. I compared only resort + food + park entry fee. That's for 13 days/night, and I estimate about $150 a day for food (I looked at a few QS and TS menus and guesstimated how much it could cost on average). Of course that's rounded...

    Disaster averted I love roller-coasters. But not that kind. Of course this had to happen AFTER I finished the plan, made the reservation for Pop and wrote that last post. As I wrote in my first post, we had initially planned to go to Disney in 2019. It was to be my 40th birthday trip. That was...

    Now it's for real! So much has happened in a week! After talking to my dear friend @dreamer17555 she reminded me how we basically owe the DIS to Dreams Unlimited, and that going through them was helping them, since they get a commission, even though it doesn't cost me any extra... and even...

    Hey Minniemoo15, welcome! 🙂 There is?! Dammit, where was that info back when I absolutely had to call for ADRs in 2008 🙄 Thanks so much, I'll keep this number in my files for sure! I had used Skype back in the day, but it still made things more complicated! I definitely am hoping for the...

    Hi Pesky and welcome to my PTR! Of course we are normal 😂 A dear friend convinced me and I'll go with the agent... but I'll tell more about it in my next post 😉

    To agent or not to agent? Wow, I can't believe I didn't write for so long! Surgery #4 happened on November 21st. Ankle reconstruction and plantar plate repair. I still can't walk, can only put 25% of my weight on my leg, with crutches... can't really use crutches until I can put a lot more...

    Should we stay longer? I've done the list of Universal attractions... In 2013 we stayed there for 2 whole days, spent short days each time and all in all, spent one day per park and didn't have time to do everything. So I am thinking of adding a third day so we can take it easy and do some...

    Spreadsheets are out! It's been a while, but I haven't given up on this PTR and the trip hasn't been shelved again, no worries! It's just that I finally had a few contracts to do (which is great, because this girl needs money for the Disney fund!) and my health wasn't great. I also finally had...

    When? To decide when, first we need to "go back". (I know, I know, the PTR title is a giveaway, but let's share the process!) :teacher: As you can see in my signature, I went in April and May 2008 (Epcot's Flower & Garden Festival! Spring time!), in December 2012 (Holidays! MVMCP!) and in the...

    Why this PTR title? I explained about my 2 rare diseases. I said I had 2 eye surgeries in 2019 already and that I was waiting for 3 more, maybe 4 (did I mention the possible 4th?). Anyways, before 2019 is over I should've had a total of 4. I should have the 5th (and possible 6th, if we do it)...

    Well hello there! :welcome: Yes, yes, I plead guilty. I didn't even try to hide it, it's there in my signature: I did start a PTR last year and (the shame!), did not finish. I COULD have continued on that same thread, could've changed the title, whatever. But I felt like a new beginning was the...

    2019 trip cancelled, so is this PTR. Well... It seems I was writing mostly for myself, but that's ok. I do this mostly for myself! :sunny: Over a year later, nothing happened in this PTR, and no planning happened. The trip had to be postponed and we had to go with not even booking the trip...

    Hippos and Tigers and Flowers, Oh My! - A Solo March '18 TR - COMPLETED 7/13 - Final Thoughts+New TR

    I'm late catching up, and I love your TR so far, but I just saw this comment and I must say I'm sad to read this. I know you were having fun and didn't want to be slowed down to rush on the next ride, but being in such an incline with a wheelchair is very hard, and walking down it gains momentum...

    I'm getting old! Better celebrate it Disney-style! - A Winter 2019 PTR

    Do I book to maybe cancel later... do I wait a bit... or do I wait a lot? As I said before, I just got a new diagnosis of keratoconus. I'll probably have eye surgery this fall, to try and slow/stop the progression of this degenerative disease which, if left untreated, could lead to me being...

    Hi @vleeth and welcome to my PTR! I am quite familiar with Marfan, a good friend of mine (which I met here on the DIS!) has it... I of course also learned about Marfan's syndrome while learning about rare disease, connective tissue diseases in general and EDS in particular. Thank you for your...
