Day 8 (March 6, 2011)
Saturday night I stayed up until after midnight packing up looking forward (not really looking forward to going home) to a fun day at Epcot starting with breakfast with the Princesses in Norway. I woke up Mary a little early to give her a bath and was surprised how red her cheeks were. Then I looked at her closer in the tub and realized she had small red dots all over her body. I tried to sound calm when I asked Jim to come in there for a minute he said "chicken pox"? I said "no we got a shot for that", he said "they have shots for that now?". I quickly realized he would be no help on this one! So I got her out of the tub convinced myself it was some kind of heat rash gave her a dose of her antibiotics and decongestant then got us loaded up and out the door.
While we were at breakfast Mr. "I didn't know there was a chickenpox vaccine" says "she is looking worse" (which she was) and then the bell went off in my head drug allergy! She had been on Clindamycin for nearly 9 days for strep throat. We decided to call our pediatrician after breakfast and then decide whether to see a doctor there, fly home early or give her Benadryl and see what happens. The doctor on call for Dr. Lin says sounds like a drug allergy do not give her any more antibiotic and give her Benadryl 5 hours after the time I gave her decongestant (about 8:00 EST) needless to say by 1:00 she was looking pretty scary I am thinking a cross between scarlet fever and small pox but I also convinced myself if it wasn't an allergy she picked the germs up at Disney World so everyone there had likely already been exposed to it also - how is that for rationalizing? The Benadryl, lack of naps for a week and knowing we were going home made her a little crabby and let's just say our listening ears were not exactly working, Sensing she was about 2 seconds from having a meltdown at any moment I tried to go with the flow which included a mickey sandwich (ice cream) and a sprite right after breakfast.
We had late lunch reservations at 2 places (I know it’s a no no but I could not decide) so Mary and I chose Italian - wrong choice $120 later (3 people tip and dessert included) and a pasta dish equivalent to Beef-a-roni we were out the door. My Disney dollars and gift card were used up so I was pretty sensitive to paying too much for bad food at that point. I will say the dessert and cappuccino were good and wished I had just ordered that!
We had to rent a stroller the last day $30 for a double (did not excite me at all since I paid $120 to rent a great stroller for the week) Mary spilled sprite all over my sweatshirt so I put it in the pocket in the back which I forgot about until I got to the airport. So the Mickey Mouse Club sweatshirt I bought in 2004 with the broken zipper is now history...
Disney Day 7 (March 5, 2011)
Disney Day 6 - (March 4, 2011) Animal Kingdom
2 when we got back along with emails and phone calls at the park) and we
spent the day at Animal Kingdom (Mary even rode Everest Expedition) followed
up by dinner at Park Fare with Cinderella and her family. Mary had a great
time. I was disappointed they had changed the dessert buffet at Park Fare
the variety was way worse than when we were there in December. It was one of
the best now it was just OK - pretty much the theme for Disney food this
trip.
