Trip Report LIVE-ish TR: The One With Holiday Cheer šŸŽ…...and Plantar Fasciitis

Hey there!

Well at long last, the day has come - in a few short hours, weā€™re heading down to WDW šŸ‘

I am doing this on my phone and I canā€™t get GIFs to work unless Iā€™m on my Mac, so alas, for now it shall be texts and emoji šŸ‘

If we havenā€™t met, Hi šŸ‘‹, Iā€™m Diana, a 39-year old marketing consultant. Iā€™m flying from Buffalo to Orlando with my crew:

Todd (45) - My awesome husband
Brandon (15) - My ā€œI hope heā€™s not too cool to geek out nowā€ stepson (he hasnā€™t been to WDW in 3 years, so weā€™re nervous heā€™ll be all teenager-y šŸ¤£)
B (1.999) - Sheā€™s turning two the first week of January, so I canā€™t quite say 2 yet! Also, I shared Todd and Brandonā€™s names and pictures here almost 6 years ago so Iā€™m rolling with their names. Iā€™m trying to give my daughter a little privacy though ā¤ļø

We are staying at CBR (Pirate room) with the dining plan. For the full itinerary, check out my PTR .

We are getting up at 2:45AM for a 5:30 flight. Wish us luck šŸ¤£

I did splurge today and book a Minnie Van from the airport. I think my daughter might sleep, and after our luggage being ā€œlostā€ for 8+ hours last year, I like the thought of picking up our bags and leaving them at bell services so we arent at the mercy of DME.

I am calling this ā€œlive-ishā€ because Iā€™ve really enjoyed the live TRs from folks lately, and I thought that live might capture some holiday vibes. But, theyā€™ll be sporadic when I have some downtime. Iā€™ll do full write ups here when I get home (and before I go back to work on 12/30 so I donā€™t drag this out like my wedding TR! šŸ¤£).

Oh and I just realized my thread name -

A) Inspired by all your Friends GIFs šŸ¤£
B) And because I have a horrific case of plantar fasciitis, so not only will I bot be running this trip (which makes me so sad), walking will be painful. Itā€™s been 2 months and every type of therapy, including a cortisone shot last week...to no avail. My husband offered to push me in a wheelchair but no way! I am roughing this out...weā€™ll see how it goes šŸ™

Ouch - I am sorry youā€™re not healing like you had hoped! Injuries like this are so difficult. If we didnā€™t have my daughter to push in her stroller, I may have given in. Iā€™m hoping I can just get through it. Iā€™m bringing my boot for sleeping, and Iā€™ll be doing a lot of praying, stretching, resting and crossing my fingers šŸ¤ž

Iā€™ll be following along. Have fun!

Thanks - Iā€™m so excited!!

Thank you! I was inspired by your TR šŸ™‚

WalkFit orthotics. Magic cure for PF. Uncomfortable at first, but I wore them for about two weeks and havenā€™t had a problem since. (10 years and counting)

Have a great trip!

Have a great trip - I hope the walking isnā€™t too terrible for you to enjoy it!

Thanks - I am hoping it magically goes away šŸ¤£

Hoping your flight goes well, and best wishes upon your arrival. Sorry to hear about the foot issue -- lousey timing, but when in WDW, you'll still find a way to get around. So, not to worry! There's plenty of those ride vehicles to rent, if you need one.

Thanks! I will if I have to...I hope I donā€™t have to, though šŸ¤ž

I am here too.
