Hi Mackenzie - This chat is for anyone who is planning to come to the CWD Friends for Life conference this summer in Orlando. If you're looking for other kids to chat with, you should try the other rooms. This is going to be mostly parents.

You are welcome to stay and chat, as long as the conversation is about the main topic (the summer conference). That's what the parents will be coming online to talk about in a few minutes. Ok?![]()
Billetdeaux CWD Events  (68.255.244.206) Mon Mar 12 08:56:56 PM EST 2007

Battling sugars at our house tonight. Hope it's all better at all of yours. Diamond keeps reminding me though that her birthday & the conference is in 4 months.
Brenda H. mom of Marissa, 19, dx'd 9/89  (216.68.227.252) Mon Mar 12 09:06:11 PM EST 2007
That's Billetdeaux, mackenzie.
Billetdeaux CWD Events, Sam's mom  (68.255.244.206) Mon Mar 12 09:06:14 PM EST 2007
Mackenzie - You were brave and spoke up first. If your family comes to the conference, make sure you come over and say hi to me and remind me you were on this chat, ok? I'd like that.
I am Laura.I run the conferences.
Mary Catherine Amelia's Mom, 9, dx'd at 2,celiac  (68.33.203.148) Mon Mar 12 09:07:05 PM EST 2007
Laura, we can't wait either. Amelia and I will be spending the first week in April in Orlando including 3 days at Coronado Springs! Less than 3 weeks to go!![]()

Billetdeaux CWD Events, Sam's mom  (68.255.244.206) Mon Mar 12 09:07:28 PM EST 2007
The plans are crazy. We have so much going on this year - very exciting. I'm so happy that Kevin Covais was able to confirm being with us for the conference - and singing at the banquet. I got an earful from some folks last year who were a bit upset that Kevin was a surprise - so this year, we're letting everyone know nice and early!
Connie (VA) Mom of Brooke, age 8, dx'd 8/02, pumping  (24.255.126.149) Mon Mar 12 09:07:42 PM EST 2007
How exciting Mary Catherine!

Hello everyone. My name is Emerie. I am a 5yr old girl. I was diagnosed with diabetes type 1 3 months ago. I just wanted to say hello to everyone.

I love visiting Orlando. It's a happy place.
Hi Emerie and Emerie's dad.![]()
R Mama to Diamond, 12, dx'd @ 9  (24.88.238.80) Mon Mar 12 09:08:31 PM EST 2007
You'll have to let us know if Coronado requires sweaters/long sleeves inside like Sea World.![]()

Rhon--always have a sweatshirt or whatever fr the indoors.
Brenda H. mom of Marissa, 19, dx'd 9/89  (216.68.227.252) Mon Mar 12 09:09:25 PM EST 2007
Emerie, are you and your family coming to Orlando?
Connie (VA) Mom of Brooke, age 8, dx'd 8/02, pumping  (24.255.126.149) Mon Mar 12 09:09:37 PM EST 2007
Yes, the Coronado can get a little chilly despite the VERY warm temps outside!
Billetdeaux CWD Events, Sam's mom  (68.255.244.206) Mon Mar 12 09:09:43 PM EST 2007
The convention center is always on the cool side. A sweater or sweatshirt that you can just throw over your shoulders is a good idea.
Connie (VA) Mom of Brooke, age 8, dx'd 8/02, pumping  (24.255.126.149) Mon Mar 12 09:09:56 PM EST 2007
Laura, are any other VIPs in the making that you can't tell us about yet?
R Mama to Diamond, 12, dx'd @ 9  (24.88.238.80) Mon Mar 12 09:09:58 PM EST 2007
Yes, I love tanks, & found out the hard way I should've at least had short sleeves or a sweater.
Billetdeaux CWD Events, Sam's mom  (68.255.244.206) Mon Mar 12 09:10:45 PM EST 2007
I remember the first year we held a conference at Disney, I walked outside from the cold air conditioning, and it was literally a steambath outside - it had just stormed. My glasses got so foggy I couldn't see anything. I hope it's not that hot this year - but I'm not counting on miracles!
R Mama to Diamond, 12, dx'd @ 9  (24.88.238.80) Mon Mar 12 09:10:47 PM EST 2007
Kevin was an awesome surprise & I'm very glad he's coming back. Diamond & Kara have been raving about it too.
Emerie Emerie's Dad  (64.136.27.229) Mon Mar 12 09:10:49 PM EST 2007
We don't know about Orlando.
Billetdeaux CWD Events, Sam's mom  (68.255.244.206) Mon Mar 12 09:11:09 PM EST 2007
Yes, there are VIPs in the wings I can't tell you about yet!![]()

You know who else is coming this year? George Canyon. He is a country singer from Canada, and won the Canadian Male Artist for 2006 - he is really wonderful. He's going to sing at the Banquet. He has type 1 and wears a pump.

Brenda H. mom of Marissa, 19, dx'd 9/89  (216.68.227.252) Mon Mar 12 09:12:43 PM EST 2007
Well, Jose, if you can't make it this year, maybe next year or a regional cnference. They are wonderful learning experiences and the kids have a blast meeting others with diabetes.
Billetdeaux CWD Events, Sam's mom  (68.255.244.206) Mon Mar 12 09:13:31 PM EST 2007
Hey Lauren!
Dates of the conference are July 11-15. Here is the link to the website:

thank you. I'll check it out
Billetdeaux CWD Events, Sam's mom  (68.255.244.206) Mon Mar 12 09:14:34 PM EST 2007
The best deal on park tickets is the link that is on the conference webpage. I even called Disney to verify the prices they offered us. There is only $1 difference between a 3-day, 4-day, and 5-day park hopper pass with water park. It's an amazing savings over buying tickets individually day by day. You have to buy them ahead of time online, though, and use the link.
Joann(MI) Mom of Victoria 6 dx at 2 pumping  (68.61.146.31) Mon Mar 12 09:14:36 PM EST 2007
There is a website www.wdwinfo.com that can give you info on park ticket deals.

Emerie Emerie's Dad  (64.136.27.229) Mon Mar 12 09:14:57 PM EST 2007
Thank you, Brenda. I'll look into it. The reason we're in here is because my daughter feels rather alone in her struggle. I was hoping she could find a chat partner more or less her age. Thank you for responding.
Brenda H. mom of Marissa, 19, dx'd 9/89  (216.68.227.252) Mon Mar 12 09:15:02 PM EST 2007
Mac--we have a bloock of several hundred rooms at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. It is one of the mid-range priced resorts.

Billetdeaux CWD Events, Sam's mom  (68.255.244.206) Mon Mar 12 09:15:04 PM EST 2007
The conference is held at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort - most people stay there. About 2,500 people will be there this summer, and half are kids.

Hi Liz - Yes, there are about 500 tickets left for the banquet. 1,000 have been sold.
Billetdeaux CWD Events, Sam's mom  (68.255.244.206) Mon Mar 12 09:16:01 PM EST 2007
The wdw website tickets are more expensive - go to the link on the conference website. We have discounted tickets associated with our conference.

Hey Teani - How are you?![]()
Yes, I understand how expensive this can be. Disney is not cheap - but I have to say that it is the absolute best place to hold a conference like this.
Connie (VA) Mom of Brooke, age 8, dx'd 8/02, pumping  (24.255.126.149) Mon Mar 12 09:19:18 PM EST 2007
Connie (BC) at least you don't have to worry about food during the conference - there is a ton of it!
R Mama to Diamond, 12, dx'd @ 9  (24.88.238.80) Mon Mar 12 09:19:32 PM EST 2007
I don't think Bob will be able to get a longer leave time for it, so we'll probably only be doing Disney on Saturday, so we'll just need 1 day tickets. I'll go to the site later & check it out. I haven't been to travel yet on base.
Teani Mom to Craig 17  (70.146.250.248) Mon Mar 12 09:20:05 PM EST 2007
We are hoping to make it again this year. Maybe I can volunteer to help with the teen dance or something.
R Mama to Diamond, 12, dx'd @ 9  (24.88.238.80) Mon Mar 12 09:20:19 PM EST 2007
There is a ton of conference food. All the meals & all the snacks in between.
Anne  (68.197.216.4) Mon Mar 12 09:20:21 PM EST 2007
we saw Adele Morgan perform at a camp in CT. She was very good with parents and kids. She's a singer/songwriter from Alaska and has diabetes.

Only if I can oford it Connie(VA), I'm not working right now(disability leave) so not getting paid for either job I have. And remember it's all a lot more for Canadians with the exchange rate.
Billetdeaux CWD Events, Sam's mom  (68.255.244.206) Mon Mar 12 09:21:53 PM EST 2007
You're right about the ton of food! Each person during the conference consumes about $500 worth of food between Tuesday and Sunday. It's amazing... but it keeps people happy and bgs in range!
Liz M  (70.181.22.210) Mon Mar 12 09:22:07 PM EST 2007

Billetdeaux CWD Events, Sam's mom  (68.255.244.206) Mon Mar 12 09:22:40 PM EST 2007
Rhon, my understanding is that the tickets you can get on base are comparable, and don't have tax added. So you may want to go that route.

Hey back at you. I have just come back from a professional photo shoot, learning from some pro's. So tell Brenda to watch out on the dance floor, I might get some quick photo's of her, since I never do stay on the dance floor myself. My sister sent me on the trip. I have a great sister!

I can't imagine anyone eating $500. worth of food, unless it's overpriced to begin with! But not all meals are supplied if I read it correctly
Billetdeaux CWD Events, Sam's mom  (68.255.244.206) Mon Mar 12 09:23:57 PM EST 2007
If you need a room, book it asap. I initially started out with a room block of 2,500 'room nights' (that's the total number of nights we expect people will stay). We have already surpassed that. I've added another several hundred on - but those will get reserved quickly. When the hotel is sold out, it's sold out. We'll identify overflow housing, but it'll be a drive. S, best to reserve now!

Billetdeaux CWD Events, Sam's mom  (68.255.244.206) Mon Mar 12 09:25:32 PM EST 2007
That is the correct price on food - at ANY convention held in a large hotel, the meals are quite expensive. And we provide a lot of meals and snacks between Tuesday and Sunday. Our very generous sponsors pay for most of them. Most people have no idea of the finances behind a conference this big. It really surprised me when I was first learning about it.

Nice to meet you, Jonathon. Chime in if you have questions or comments.![]()
Liz - I just about fell over the first time I looked at conference menu prices. But, you know what? It costs what it costs, and our sponsors are happy to support the biggest chunk of it because they love to see our kids having such a great time and the parents connecting. So, I'm happy with that arrangement.

Hey Debbie - Have you dug out from all that Tahoe snow?
Rhon - Let's see - the teen trip - we put Diamond on a bus to MGM, give her a ticket, tell her to have a great time on the rides, and pick her up at 6.
Not!
Just kidding...
Actually, all the kids will get on the chartered buses around 9 a.m. (with the 12 chaperones) and head to MGM. We have a private 'home base' area that is air conditioned and is where they can keep extra supplies, and where they will come to check in several times. We provide lunch and snack $$ (disney dollars). Bus will come back around 6. Details to come a bit closer to the event...

In reality - the conference is priceless. The cost of the conference is minimal considering the meals (for all, or near all, of the family), the educational sessions, the goodies that the vendors give you, and then the friends that you meet for life

Renee - The Saturday Benefit this year is the Magical Memories Breakfast, which is held right at the hotel. Disney princes and princesses will be in our ballroom 'holding court.' The kids can meet them, get autographs, have photos taken, etc. The characters are OURS - no one else in the hotel can come in. Afterwards, we have chartered buses to take us to Magic Kingdom. The tickets for breakfast are $25 and the proceeds go to the Education for CWD Foundation. And you need to provide your own park ticket.

I don't recommend that kids bring friends. The point is for them to MEET friends, and that is harder to do when you bring one of your own. Although, some kids do and it's fine (and others do and it's not fine).

Very cool - would love to see more of a 'party' atmosphere (even for the entire family) during the day - and then be able to lounge out during the evening - so much to do in such a little time.
Lauren Elementary Leader  (71.208.40.168) Mon Mar 12 09:45:31 PM EST 2007
DJ Miles is so much fun. I think we have him right after breakfast on Friday. Make sure they eat a few extra carbs before that session because they are VERY active
LAURA Billetdeaux CWD Events, Sam's mom  (68.255.244.206) Mon Mar 12 09:45:42 PM EST 2007
Yes, Teani. Same guy. I met him at the big ADA Convention a couple years ago. They always have a huge fun run, and Harold always does their warm-ups (he works closely with Novo Nordisk and they are the sponsor of these various fun runs).

LAURA Billetdeaux CWD Events, Sam's mom  (68.255.244.206) Mon Mar 12 09:48:18 PM EST 2007
Well, I can't say it's a 'party' atmosphere, but it's definitely fun. During the day, the focus is on learning (and with the kids, the group leaders like Lauren incorporate the learning activities into the fun). For those who are really looking to relax and have a vacation, you should seriously consider adding days onto the conference (before is better than after). You will be busier than busy from Tuesday to Sunday.

Have I missed anyone's question? I'm trying to keep up!
A couple things:
Childcare is half full right now. It will definitely be full within a month or so - if you need it, register asap.
Banquet will sell out.
Magical Memories Breakfast already sold out - but I doubled the space, so no worries. There are 500 tickets left.![]()

LAURA Billetdeaux CWD Events, Sam's mom  (68.255.244.206) Mon Mar 12 09:52:52 PM EST 2007
Renee - There is still plenty of time to register. No worries. Don't wait until June, though. We may well be sold out by then. When the space is 'fire marshall full' - that's it. A couple of events - in particular the banquet and the Magical Memories Breakfast - have limited seating. So that's what I'm referring to in my other posts.
