AAAHHHHH!!! I'm so jealous! Have a fantastic time!!And my morning started at 3am Tuesday and this at 530am
followed by this just before 9am
and arriving here before 10am
We had lunch at and then our room was ready! Woot!
^^^^^^ This!! I really hope it just goes out to sea, but please be careful! I'm sure Disney will take precautions to keep guests safe, but still.
Like...gee...if you'd only told me 3 minutes ago, I could have done something. Too late now!
My mom is a substitute teacher. Every year, they make her take a training for dealing with bullying. In our system, failing to address bullying is grounds for termination.I hope everyone in the path is staying safe...man it looks nasty. I read that St. Barts and St. Martin have been hit now, too.
So DS is still being bullied daily, but I am SUPER proud of him because he's been just pretending to be deaf and telling them he can't hear them until they get bored and go away. That's a HUGE step for him, and at least so far this year, there hasn't been anything physical...yet. But yesterday, he went to his teacher after recess and she just told him to come to her during recess next time so she can deal with it. You can't deal with it if it doesn't happen during recess?
And then today, with a different teacher, he did go to her every time it happened. I asked him what she did...he says he doesn't know because he wasn't there. What do you mean you weren't there? How did you tell the teacher if you weren't there. "Well, I told the teacher, but I wasn't there when she did anything." So he doesn't know if she even did anything, but she DID tell him she'd be "talking to" the bullies 10 times more than last year. Wait...so you didn't do anything like..90% of the time last year when it happened? It shouldn't be POSSIBLE to talk to them 10 times more than last year because they should have been called out EVERY time it happened...and even if that's just an off the cuff remark and not literal, it still says that they didn't do much about it last year and know they need to be much more active. And we're past the point where talking will have much effect. These kids have been allowed to torment him for the last 4-5 years...you think telling them not to is going to have any effect? I'm just at a loss. But he seems to have found a way to deal with a lot of it and it's working, so I'm so grateful for his therapy where he's learning it, and I'm so proud of him for how well he's dealing with it.
Awesome resort. Should be better for Irma if she heads this way. Loving Wilderness Lodge.
What surprises me is how this storm seems to be keeping the CAT5 level for this long.
Theres video of the Sint Maarten hit. It was insane!I hope everyone in the path is staying safe...man it looks nasty. I read that St. Barts and St. Martin have been hit now, too.

We were planning to go to Puerto Rico for my daughter's birthday this month. So glad we put it off until next year.
Thank you! Nice to know I'm not insane for thinking this should have been dealt with AGES ago. And I can't even type the things they were calling him on here...they'd be completely bleeped out and I'd get in some trouble. The NICEST of the things was calling him a loser. Wait...not true, one of them "only" did the cry baby gesture, rubbing the eyes and mimicking "wah wah". That's not quite as bad as loser...but the other things were rated R.
Very cool

Keep having fun but please check the weather once in a while and if looks like it will get bad make sure you have some edible food and maybe a bottle of wine or 3. I've got my weather blowers cranked way up, wishing you magical and safe time down there.Who would have thunk?
We had boarded bus at Boardwalk, less security less monorails and less walking leaving Epcot WS to head to MK.
Bus driver: EMH at MK tonight. Nice surprise after later start. Bet EMH was part of original plans but forgotten. Who looks at schedules on Vacation?
