Yes! I am feeling the same way. I am thinking will dress in layers with jeans and just deal with being hot for a little bit during the day.
Spirit jerseys acquired. At plaza having the parade viewing lunch. It’s good, but way too much food!Present. We just landed and are in route to the motel and then off to the parks in search of the Spirit Jersey!!!!!!
and if she can fly, doing it with a cast so early after surgery is problematic too ( they might have to cut it open before the flight and „repair“ the cut after the flight at a hospital) so it will be quite some stress to do it... either way I still have quite a lot to organize to make the „decision“ work...I'm so sorry! Your poor mom! (And poor you, too!) Please tell her that the DIS boards sends her good thoughts and pixie dust for a successful surgery and a very quick recovery. And big hugs for you for taking care of everything for your parents and going through all the trip uncertainty, too -- like you need more stress right now! Hang in there -- we're here for you and we understand all the frustration and disappointment. One idea: If she will be allowed to travel, can your mom get a waterproof cast? That might allow her to swim very carefully in Hawaii. A waterproof cast is even supposed to get wet -- doctors tell you to flush it out once a day.Just need to vent a little...
My mom broke her wrist on Friday and is in the hospital. There is only a slim change they can do surgery early enough for her to travel...
So right now we know nothing... if all 3 of us can go, if just my dad and I are going or if we all cancel...
I have been looking forward to this vacation for over a year now and it was my bright spot to look forward to during my master thesis... I have been planning for a year... now nothing works out
even if mom can fly with us nothing is like we had planned... and worst for her she won’t be able to swim at Hawaii (next stop after DL) which will be terrible for her...
and of course I am the one managing everything now...(my dad isn’t that helpful) And I just have no idea where to start...
Though everything is on hold for now anyways till we know something from the doctor but then we (or better I) have to act quickly...
So, please everyone: stay healthy!
Read the first post in the World of Color Superthread and study the map of the viewing area carefully. The "best" view is totally subjective. Some people like the blue area because they like viewing from the bridge or the wet zone (very fun, up close view -- wear ponchos to be safe!). Some people like yellow for a more centered view or just because that section is larger so there are more spaces to choose from or because they like being further back for a "big picture" view. It all depends on what you want, how tall/short your group members are (the taller you are, the easier time you will have getting spots because you won't have to be up front), and whether you mind getting misted/wet. The viewing area map has very good information about where to go. Since you will be in DCA anyway, why not stop by the WOC FP machines to ask the CMs there what time you should look for second show FPs and which color will be handed out at approximately what time? Tell them what you want (e.g. second show, yellow section) and ask when you should start looking on the app or when you should come back to the machines.
Thank you for your kind words...
Did they allow other people into the reserved area once the parade began or did it stay roped off for people who paid for the package?
