We have a video of him literally running laps and screaming I am going to Disney World!
MeMee was still in her pajamas. MeMee couldn't walk good. MeMee had been telling him for months that she was going to go to Disney with us. He asked her if she was going and she explained no with no tears and lots of encouragement that it was ok because Aunt Emily was going in her place!
Thank you! We think he is pretty cute, minus those occasional temper tantrums lol!
I am sorry it is so hard to travel with your son. My son avoids dairy, almond, strawberries and all artificial food coloring. The dairy and and food coloring really cuts out most kid-type foods but thankfully, he was so young when we started feeding him this way that he doesn't mind too much. I can't imagine how hard it must be for your son! That is a hard combo to work with. I have a long list but the ones that are hardest to avoid are soy, dairy, peanut, wheat/gluten, egg, tomato, garlic and flax seed. Flax isn't really in that many mainstream foods, but it is in so many of the "allergy friendly" alternatives. I also have a lot of fruits and vegetables I can't have. I thought I would starve when I was first diagnosed 2 years ago but thankfully, I have adapted and it is worth feeling better. However, traveling anywhere but Disney is such a task and even at Disney, I still hate how time consuming dealing with my diet can be. But, I am so thankful that they are willing!
Thanks for reading along. I have wanted to a TR before but always wondered if anyone would really want to read it!
I'm hooked!
I am enjoying your detailed trip report!
It's too bad that your mom got hurt....that had to be hard. But so awesome that everything worked out (at least, as far as we know so far!!) so seamlessly!!
Can't wait to read more!
This is freaking adorable!!!
Seriously, I have tears in my eyes! So sweet -- your mom is awesome!
I'm in! Going back to get caught up! E is adorable!
Joining in
Best parents EVER, surprising your son with a trip to DW.
Looking forward to future installments! Glad to hear that your mom will be back at the world in a few short months!!
Disney is the best to vacation with my DS. We also did a Fantasy cruise and they were awesome with his diet needs. The problem is that now that he's getting older, he is more aware and wants to eat what his sister is eating as well.
Your allergies are way more complicated than my DS. But I guess it's like you say, after we adapt it gets a little easier. At first, I didn't even know how I was going to do with my son as we are very busy all the time, but you develop a system and go with it.
The picture with your mom and son is awesome!!! We go every year and we always surprise the kids too. They know we are going, just not when. I asked My DD this year if she rather know ahead of time to be part of the planning and she said NO. She loves being surprised to the very last minute.
Looking forward to hearing more. Love trip reports!
Love this Trip Report! Full Disclosure: I am her DH!
Following along - E is absolutely adorable! That expression on his face when he sees the Pop Century bus needs to be a Disney ad - it's too perfect!
Awe I just love his excitement! I pretty much feel that same way every time we arrive too!
I cannot wait to take my son there and see all his reactions!
I hope your still writing I can't wait to read more!!
Yes, would so love o see some additional installments of your TR!
