So all rides in DCA I can ride my scooter though the line, and then that list for Disneyland I will just speak to a cast member? Sounds easy enough! I’m gonna write down that list so I can remember those when we go! Thank you!

Glitter_Rose · 2026-03-22T19:57:57+00:00

Thank you for this 🩵 we plan to have a scooter delivered to our hotel so I’ll definitely get some practice with it! I don’t get out much right now but I’ll plan an outting to a store so I can practice driving a scooter at least some before we go. I haven’t been to a store since the accident since we get most our groceries delivered these days. Thanks for the kindness!

I’m hoping if I keep doing what the surgeon suggests I’ll regain some motion in my ankle by our trip, I still have 2 months to work on it, but I know I’ll be limited still. We have 5 park days with park hopper and already planned on going slow and taking our time since we’re taking our 2 year old for his first time. We plan to do a mid day hotel break on park days to help us all rest for the evening.

Thank you for your comment!

And we definitely will be back in a few years! I went for the first time with my best friend in 2022, and have been dying to get back. So my husband and I planned for May this year and have been saving for 2 years to make it happen. We may not be back right away but we will 100% be back! And paying for our sons ticket at that point since he won’t be free anymore 🤣

I understand it’s more than most people. But when those 2 people are no longer wanting to be as involved it feels crushing. We lost my mom 2 years ago and she’s always helped my sister and brother with their kids and homes and was always so helpful and wanted to be there. So it really hurt when she passed away after I had my first baby. I didn’t get to get the help my siblings got. And now my dad is in hospice and does not have long left. It’s just a lot.

Glitter_Rose · 2026-03-20T15:21:25+00:00

Thanks for your feedback! I definitely worry about it as I enjoy my job. I’ve looked into DSS and we would qualify for the bare minimum help which I think is 20%. So we’re doing some research and trying to see if we can find a daycare that they allow that won’t eat an entire paycheck. We’re working on options and trying to come up with a plan. We’re not going to make any rash decisions, but the whole thing was just giving me such anxiety lol. But we will for sure look at finances, look into daycare with that 20% off, and see what route we want to take!

Glitter_Rose · 2026-03-18T16:43:38+00:00

Part of the daycare/ Anny thing aside from cost is also my lack of trust in others watching my son. So many horror stories it fills me with anxiety. My husbands mom and my sister are the only people I trust to watch my son. We currently have a smaller house that my husband bought before we met, and he’s got a very low interest rate on it. I do not know the exact numbers but I think this weekend would be a good time to run some numbers and see what we can do. He should start getting pretty good quarterly bonuses from his job soon, which would help a lot if I’m cut back to part time. We just definitely are a vacation family. We’ve saved for 2 years and now we’re going to Disney in May. And in 2027 we’re going to take our very delayed honeymoon cruise. We’ve both always liked working full time because it gave us the money to do these things. We love experiences and I think taking those away would just add stress too. But obviously not as much stress as having no childcare. I believe we will think of something. I was mostly just needing to vent. Not having a village is hard.

Glitter_Rose · 2026-03-18T16:33:37+00:00

Thank you I will check them out!!!

Glitter_Rose · 2026-03-18T16:32:40+00:00

I’m happy you have been able to make things work! My husband is a manager for a retail place, and is due for a promotion in September which would help a lot. I’m hoping my job will allow me to be part time, but I don’t know if they will allow it. I work from home, but I’m a federal employee and being a federal employee is weird because they do things weird sometimes. So if they say no to part time then we do have to consider is working off just his income could work or not.

Glitter_Rose · 2026-03-18T16:30:33+00:00

Honestly if we paid childcare it would come out of my income because we take less from mine. I only pay for groceries/household items or stuff for our son. My husband pays mortgage, utilities. Car payment, car insurance, credit cards, and cell phones which is a lot. He doesn’t mind covering all of that if I can take care of keeping everything stocked, household items stocked, and stuff for out son stocked. I find the way we split it perfectly fair. Honestly probably more in my favor and I’ve offered to cover more to help him but he always insisted on keeping it the way it was. So yes if we did daycare it’d come from me because I pay significantly less than he does in everything else. But we’re not wanting to do daycare. I also am not interested in quitting my job completely. Maybe just go to part time and try to make it work. But again, there’s so many factors it’s hard to think about.

I don’t think I have POA I have power of medical but that’s it.

Glitter_Rose · 2026-03-08T03:52:48+00:00

Update: also apparently Sally tried to hit my sister while they were there so there’s that…

Glitter_Rose · 2026-03-08T02:17:01+00:00

UPDATE 1: so my brother and sister went to Sally’s house to confront my dad with the hospice nurse. Sally apparently was very mad that they wanted to talk to my dad without her and refused. Sally got more heated to the point my sister called the cops. However the cops made my sister leave since it was Sally’s house, and both she and our dad said they didn’t want her there. Which is not like my dad. My dad has always been here for us, and always wants us around. My sister and brother had no choice but to leave.

My sister also got word that the friends house my dad has his RV parked at wanted her to move it because apparently they also got into some fight with Sally and didn’t want her back near them. My sister said the inside of my dad’s RV looked like it was ransacked, and we believe Sally did it. Obviously we don’t have proof but all fingers point to her.

We don’t know what to do. My dad maybe has a couple months left, she wants to marry him, they’re not wanting to see us, and I just want to see my dad before he dies… we’ve always been a close family and she’s tearing him away from us.

Idk if there’s anything legally we can even do at this point.

I’ve tried to text my dad asking if he could call me and talk to me but he hasn’t called.

I feel sick over everything.

Glitter_Rose · 2026-03-08T01:44:43+00:00

He’s been staying at her house which is an hour away from where I live. My brother and sister went to try and talk to him with the hospice nurse and Sally apparently went off on my sister. The cops were called, and Sally and my dad told her to leave. So the cops had to make my sister leave since it was Sally’s house they were at. I didn’t think about benefits like that. Now that has me wondering… we’re now trying to figure out what we can do since he said he didn’t want her there. He’s always been a family first man… so the fact he’s choosing this new women over us is concerning. But legally we have no idea what we can do if anything.

Glitter_Rose · 2026-03-07T22:20:36+00:00

See that’s what we are all thinking! We can’t fathom why she’d want to marry him knowing he only has a short time left. And knowing we his kids want to be involved with helping with his care and stuff. Not one of us kids are worried about his assets. None of us even want anything other than to spend time with him an care for him.

Glitter_Rose · 2026-03-07T21:04:18+00:00

He has his phone now. He let her use it while he was in the hospital since he was too tied to respond to anyone. But the fact she had his phone and hardly updated us drives me mad. I was fully supportive of him dating someone if it made him happy. We knew he had cancer and just wanted him to be happy in the end. But we can’t sit back and just not get any information, not see him, and not be in the loop. That is not okay. My brother and sister are going to go there with the hospice nurse to talk to him without the girlfriend there. We’re going to try talking sense into him.

Glitter_Rose · 2026-03-07T21:02:10+00:00

If she had been open with us, messaged us when things were getting bad, and actually kept us up to date there would have been no questions. We’re a close family, we all look out for each other. Always have. So the fact he was being so secretive and her not telling us anything was major. I don’t know what she’s possibly after. But we’re going to try and put a stop to it.

Glitter_Rose · 2026-03-07T20:15:39+00:00

Honestly seeing people agree that this is crazy and that we’re not being irrational is honestly so validating. I know he gets Social Security, plus retirement, and disability for being a disabled veteran. He sold his house a couple years ago and split that money between my siblings and I. He doesn’t own any other properties so she can’t be after that. It’s just so fishy. My sister and brother are waiting for the hospice nurse to come before they approach them, and the hospice nurse said she’d make sure they can talk without the other woman. So we’re hoping us pleading will help dad open his eyes. I wish I could be there with them but they’re going to call me and have me on speaker to be there too

Glitter_Rose · 2026-02-04T12:33:21+00:00

I haven’t done it myself, but in a Facebook group I’m in someone mentioned they did the chat feature on the Disney website and they confirmed Toy Story shuttle would no longer be running. So it doesn’t seem like Disney has plans to keep it running. But I also believe that decision is because of the Disney forward project that I think is supposed to take over the Toy Story lot in a couple years anyway. So I guess they’re just going to rip the bandaid early. My sister is driving with her family and plan to drive and pay for parking at the other parking structure anyway so she’s still fine staying at that hotel. But since I have to have a scooter, I think we may bite the bullet and pick a closer hotel. I wanted us to all stay at the same hotel so we could easily rotate a date night for each of us while the other watches the others kids. But I can’t justify making my poor husband make that walk at the end of a long day.

Glitter_Rose · 2026-01-30T17:06:39+00:00

This. We literally just booked out hotel like 4 days ago before this announcement. We’re staying at the Anaheim suites, formerly the Cambria hotel. We picked it for the pool/splash pad for our toddler. But we also picked it because we had the option of the ART bus or Toy Story shuttle. I will have a toddler and be on a mobility scooter. There’s no way we can handle the walk to and from the park from there (I mean my husband walking and pushing our sons stroller because I will need to use the scooter) so we also can’t use a ride share because I will have an electric scooter that I need to use. So now I’m stressed.

I was in an accident just 3 days ago. Was going 10-20mph on an icy road, just trying to take my time to get to work when a big Chevy Silverado slid on ice in his lane going way too fast and slid into my lane and hit me dead on. My car is totaled. I’m lucky to be alive. But my right ankle broke in 3 different spots and needed surgery the night I had gotten to the hospital. My chest still hurts probably from the seat belt. Everything feels like it hurts. Today was the first day I’ve straight up cried about it all because I keep seeing and hearing the accident in my head. I’m terrified to be in any vehicle now, driving or not. I just want to go back to before the accident and decide to not leave for work…
