The trick is booking fastpasses for what you absolutely want to do and just wing the rest of your day.

It was a crazy plot hatched by my ds. He thinks he should get to bring a friend and leave his brother with their grandparents.Oh my.
Unless @figmentfan423 and her hubby approached the friends family first with an invitation and an offer to pay all expenses, I would hope the friends parents assume their footin' the bill for their kiddo if they allow them to go.

If she will eat any fruit or vegetable at all, my son wins the title of pickiest of picky. He won't eat fruit or veg at all. He eats spinach if it's mixed in with lasagna, and he'll eat peas in one particular dish, but that's it. Nothing else. He won't eat anything on a sandwich except butter and sprinkles or nutella. No ham, no cheese, not even grilled cheese. He basically has 5 or 6 things in his food likes. 1. Randang vlees, which is an indonesian thing...that's the one with the peas. 2. Lasagna, but only the stuff we make from a package and then usually only when Oma makes it. 3. Kibbeling, which is battered and deep fried fish..I think cod. 4. Pizza, but ONLY plain frozen pizza from Dr. Oetker. No delivery or anything. He's going to have to get over that if we wants to eat at Disney. 5. Chicken nuggets and fries, or Frikandel (Dutch deep fry snack) and fries, 6. Pancakes That's it....and sandwiches and croissants and that kind of thing. He won't eat eggs, he won't eat most meats..can't feed him a burger or chicken breast or a pork chop. He won't eat spaghetti or any other kind of pasta except lasagna. I'm really worried about Disney food with him, but I'm hoping the lack of choices might stimulate his willingness to TRY something else, like pizza that's not from one particular brand, etc.Don't be too happy. She also keeps it to 2 vegetables. Broccoli and carrots. Must be separate, must be raw. Fruit--pretty much just apples or watermelon. By the way, the apples have to be plain slices. Not cooked, not sauce. And the other day, she hated the watermelon I got for her, because it was too juicy.She is 12. I keep hoping for it to get better.

EEEKKKKKKKKK All the walking will make him hungry! Hopefully enough to at least try new things. Sleepy Hollow has a waffle with nutella he might like. I have almost the reverse problem my boys eat everything and everything in sight! My younger ds is mostly vegan and still eats me out of house and home!

No, I don't know what they call it in English....if it even has a name. Here, it used to be called Pelvic Instability....when you are pregnant, your weight changes and your center of gravity kind of shifts a bit due to redistribution of weight...and the bones in your pelvic region start to soften and separate to allow a baby to fit through. So with that softening and separating, with some women, it goes a bit too far to where the body can't really support the full weight of the woman AND the baby and the weight of the baby riding right on those sensitive areas makes it very hard to walk. And in some women, apparently it also never quite goes away, even after the baby has been born and everything goes back to normal. I still have some issues, though not as bad as when I was pregnant, and not as bad as some other women.

Sympathy like.

Sympathy like....I guess I at least I know it's not just me dealing with them. For a while, my husband was quite in denial about how bad it was. He was at work all day and I was the one at home dealing with a meltdown because my 2 year old wanted to go up the stairs directly after daddy, not after anyone else, and daddy wasn't home to walk up the stairs before him. Or because he wanted a snack and hadn't eaten his lunch so I said he needed a sandwich before he was allowed to eat chips. I had gone to the preschool and asked for help from their parenting advisor and she said it was a phase he'd grow out of quickly once he realized no one else did that and that it didn't get him what he wanted. 3 years later, it was just getting worse and worse and he was having 5 or 6 meltdowns a day and even though none of them got him what he wanted, he hadn't stopped doing it and his teachers, who I had warned even before he started school, didn't know what to do either. I finally got him to a child psychologist because he started complaining of stomach aches EVERY night and couldn't sleep, and when he DID sleep, he'd pull his knees up to his chest and moan in his sleep. The doctor couldn't find a thing wrong with him...we went in multiple times and saw several doctors. Then the doctor told me to avoid stress for him and I asked how I was supposed to do that with a kid who got completely over the top upset about in which order we crossed 2 streets, or who went up the stairs first. So he sent us to a Psychologist and it got a LOT better really fast. He still has meltdowns, but not nearly as often and they don't usually last as long. He could stand there and scream for 45 minutes about it not being his turn on the swing before. The meltdown the other day only lasted about 15 minutes and he's only had 2 meltdowns in several months when it used to be several times a DAY. Best thing we ever did and it wasn't until we started going that hubby really realized the extent of the problem because he wasn't the one usually dealing with it. But he sure noticed a change when it calmed down!Your son and my daughter have similar meltdowns.

My DD likes most things...she used to be really picky. On our last trip to Disney, she was only 4 and having never been to the US, they were both very cautious about food they didn't recognize...I remember DD not wanting to try the spaghetti at Tony's because it wasn't mommy's. They lived on chicken nuggets the entire 3 weeks of our vacation, and the 4 days that we were in Disney, we brought snacks because neither of them would eat chicken nuggets if they weren't from McDonalds. Fortunately, she eats just about anything now, but DS is even worse than he used to be. He's a texture kid...if it feels weird in his mouth, he won't eat it and he's scared to try anything new. But for 4 days in Disney, you can make do, especially as we weren't staying on property....we could cook or go to McD's. This time we're staying on property for 10 days with no way to get somewhere else for dinner and we have the dining plan...he's going to HAVE to get used to it. Wish me luck!! Do you bring snacks into the park with you for the boys in between meals?

Good luck. Not really some fruit and nuts. My boys aren't super picky my little guy is mostly vegan but we never had a problem finding food last trip. There are even more selection now with a hummus and veggie snack in almost every park. Last trip I never had an issue eating well. I'm sure you'll be able to get him food he'll eat.

Yup, got a chuckle out of your description of proactive snow removal down there. As I've mentioned before, one of my brothers lives down there and he's emailed me some facepalms . . .
Seriously though, to any of you on the forum who are in the path of the storm, stay safe. Up North, we're used to some wild weather, but it's still nothing to be taken lightly. Hope anyone in the snow zone has stocked up on batteries, candles, food and charged up all the electronic devices by now.
May i recomend the chicken waffle sandwich at the Cletus' chicken shack section af the fast food boulevard in springfield
Only North of the Equator. Down south it falls from right to leftSnow supposed to fall from left to right?
