The Fun Run is a lot of fun. Everyone needs to be there. Of course, the teens have a hard time dragging themselves out of bed, so they often show up 5 seconds before it starts.
Stacey mom to Jesse dx.12/01.... pumping 4/28/03  (205.188.116.139) Thu Jun 23 09:08:31 PM EDT 2005

Billetdeaux CWD Events  (72.255.31.49) Thu Jun 23 09:13:36 PM EDT 2005
It was beautiful today. I'll be in town through Sunday morning - then heading back to Michigan for the final stretch before the conference. All the last minute stuff.
Stacey mom to Jesse dx.12/01.... pumping 4/28/03  (205.188.116.139) Thu Jun 23 09:13:45 PM EDT 2005
Laura.... Jesse wants to bring down his bottle of used test strips and have a raffle... withthe proceeds going to IDYA... is that ok??
Billetdeaux CWD Events  (72.255.31.49) Thu Jun 23 09:14:03 PM EDT 2005

Connie (VA) Mom of Brooke, age 6, dx'd 8/02, pumping  (68.100.106.182) Thu Jun 23 09:14:48 PM EDT 2005
LOL![]()
Billetdeaux CWD Events  (72.255.31.49) Thu Jun 23 09:14:56 PM EDT 2005
Sure. Run anything for the IDYA booth by Elizabeth Vanover - she's coordinating it. Is it a big bottle?
lynne Mom to Allison( dx'd 00), Nicholas and Kristen  (24.180.238.150) Thu Jun 23 09:15:23 PM EDT 2005
My daughter has an appt. to try a pump, but her clinic won't give her a rxThey need a prescription, right?
Billetdeaux CWD Events  (72.255.31.49) Thu Jun 23 09:15:41 PM EDT 2005
Everyone with teens is clear on what's going on with Typhoon Lagoon? I sent a message out yesterday, but a few people still seemed unclear.
Ellen mom of Anna, 9, dx'd 6  (139.55.52.125) Thu Jun 23 09:15:43 PM EDT 2005
I am so looking forward to the conference. Anna started her insulin pump today and we are so excited![]()
Julia--Registration a2angelmom  (152.163.100.5) Thu Jun 23 09:15:43 PM EDT 2005
Hi all...counting down
Connie (VA) Mom of Brooke, age 6, dx'd 8/02, pumping  (68.100.106.182) Thu Jun 23 09:15:50 PM EDT 2005
oops, where did you all go?
Stacey mom to Jesse dx.12/01.... pumping 4/28/03  (205.188.116.139) Thu Jun 23 09:16:09 PM EDT 2005
a 1.5 liter bottle... about 3/4 filled... I'll provide the raffle prize... How do I get in touch with Elizabeth??
Jeff Hitchcock Marissa, 17, dx'd 9/1989  (216.68.227.251) Thu Jun 23 09:16:19 PM EDT 2005
Has anyone else experienced a server error where the message type in space is?
Billetdeaux CWD Events  (72.255.31.49) Thu Jun 23 09:16:30 PM EDT 2005
You do need an rx to try a pump with saline. Interestingly, the saline is the prescription item (not the pump). Call the company you have the appt with and explain what is going on. Ask them what to do.
Ellen mom of Anna, 9, dx'd 6  (139.55.52.125) Thu Jun 23 09:18:05 PM EDT 2005
Julia, have you sent emails for the pictures you have received. I mailed pictures last week.
Connie (VA) Mom of Brooke, age 6, dx'd 8/02, pumping  (68.100.106.182) Thu Jun 23 09:18:36 PM EDT 2005

meghan  (209.27.62.219) Thu Jun 23 09:18:38 PM EDT 2005
Julia, did you get the picture?
Billetdeaux CWD Events  (72.255.31.49) Thu Jun 23 09:18:45 PM EDT 2005
Leanne, I'll be very curious to hear your thoughts about how our families in the U.S. manage diabetes. It will be interesting to compare to D management in Australia...
meghan  (209.27.62.219) Thu Jun 23 09:18:54 PM EDT 2005
You can have mine, Jeff...
Stacey mom to Jesse dx.12/01.... pumping 4/28/03  (205.188.116.139) Thu Jun 23 09:19:07 PM EDT 2005

Absolutely - I'm noticing the higher pump prevalence already!
Julia--Registration a2angelmom  (152.163.100.5) Thu Jun 23 09:20:52 PM EDT 2005
Hi Laura...i am here and fine...been a busy week...Ethan crunched his first pump...![]()
Connie (VA) Mom of Brooke, age 6, dx'd 8/02, pumping  (68.100.106.182) Thu Jun 23 09:20:52 PM EDT 2005
Julia, BTW, it has lime stitching so it will also match the shirts for this year
Billetdeaux CWD Events  (72.255.31.49) Thu Jun 23 09:20:54 PM EDT 2005
So Connie, how long will it take you to drive? You're leaving on Thursday... arriving... ?

I'm hanging by the pool on the 4th. All day. I think the Italian group may head to Disney Marketplace, but for the most part, we'll all be taking it easy. They'll have jet lag big time. They arrive at 7:30 p.m. Sunday night.
Julia--Registration a2angelmom  (152.163.100.5) Thu Jun 23 09:22:03 PM EDT 2005

LeanneC T1, Aussie  (203.173.8.230) Thu Jun 23 09:22:52 PM EDT 2005
I'm also hoping to compare the 4th July festivities to our January 26th (Australia Day)...

Leaving Thursday PM (after work)... we'll hook up the kids DVD players, sit back, and drive through the night --and arrive in the AM -- it takes 13 hrs. We are going to the east coast (Melbourne - to see aunt/uncle/beach) and then will hope back in the van and go to Orlando and check in Friday afternoon![]()
Billetdeaux CWD Events  (72.255.31.49) Thu Jun 23 09:23:42 PM EDT 2005
I'm sure any of the parks will have good fireworks. I also hear that Universal's fireworks are fabulous. The parks will be very crowded, though. I don't know that I want to fight crowds for a 10 minute firework display.
Julia--Registration a2angelmom  (152.163.100.5) Thu Jun 23 09:23:45 PM EDT 2005
I thought about taking the bus to the monorail and going just outside Magic Kingdom to watch the fireworks
Lorie Mom of Kristin(14) and Ryan(8)  (68.60.208.251) Thu Jun 23 09:23:45 PM EDT 2005
We intend to see some great fireworks on the fourth too
meghan  (209.27.62.219) Thu Jun 23 09:23:55 PM EDT 2005
They all have great fireworks....for those of us with an issue with pyrotechnics, it is just a matter of picking which one to go to....
Connie (VA) Mom of Brooke, age 6, dx'd 8/02, pumping  (68.100.106.182) Thu Jun 23 09:24:13 PM EDT 2005
Stacey - correct, they are lime green -- the purple hat matches a tshirt that Julia already has and the stitching will match her shirt for this year!
Billetdeaux CWD Events  (72.255.31.49) Thu Jun 23 09:24:29 PM EDT 2005
Oh, good, Leanne. We'll all come to Australia for YOUR fireworks.![]()

Also, the volunteer shirts are now royal blue. The t-shirt suppliers around the country were entirely sold out of the Caribbean blue. It was unbelievable. Like someone ordered 100,000 blue shirts all at once...

I pretty much ordered the tank tops right on. We had to get white ones, send them off to be dyed, and then get them back for printing. That was very expensive. I only wanted to order what we had specific numbers for - none extra. Sorry.

The concierge can help you arrange a visit to Kennedy. You'd be wise to call now and ask about it. The resort will be very crowded, and I don't know what sort of tickets you need to tour the Space Center.

Lynne (and everyone) - You get a Guest Assistance Card for the parks. This doesn't give you carte blanche to the front of the line, but it does allow you to wait in a cooler area (perhaps with ac), and sometimes they let you go through the fast pass entrance. A staff person from Magic Kingdom will be at our hotel by registration on Weds from 4-7 p.m. giving families the GACs. Weds only.

Honestly, some people do get dressed up quite a bit. The teen girls definitely do. Some moms do. All in all, it's pretty casual. Wear something you are comfortable dancing in. And shoes you can take off so you can dance barefoot!

There are still tickets for the Banquet, but only until July 1. That's when I give the final order. After that, Julia will keep a list of people who have extra tickets (at the registration area). She'll try and hook up the extra ticket sellers with the extra ticket buyers... Yes, there will be a DJ playing OLDIES (anyone care to guess the decade) after 9:00.

fireworks at magic kingdom are supposedly great, but insanely crowded, MGM the same, Apcot supposedly ok, but way less crowded, and dinner reservations are still available
