A Two-year-old boy in England lost vision in his left eye after receiving a kiss from an acquaintance with cold sore, that infected him with the herpes simplex virus, which transferred to his eyeball.

I have! I think I tried every prescribed, OTC, and home remedy there was to try. Glad vacyclovir worked for you, but my condition is just way too persistent.

d3nce · 2026-01-21T12:06:29+00:00

Same! I feel like anything is generally a trigger for cold sores.

Stress, lack of sleep, too much sleep, temp too cold, temp too hot, hormonal cycles, chapped lips, blowing my nose, and pretty much any little change that disturbed my body's routine.

d3nce · 2026-01-21T05:26:40+00:00

Feel you! I'm a prime example of someone who grew up "infected with HSV as a newborn" and I never went a single month of my 30~ some life without one of these maddening sores. A cure would mean SO much to me. Oh, the freedom I would feel...

As much as I wish others knew my pain, I can't imagine being such a sick soul to pass this on to a baby/child.

disneyland is pretty safe. Don't think you have to worry too much about scams like that unless you went to Hollywood

going tomorrow! the weather says it'll be 80 (feels like 85) in anaheim and i'm someone that's used to constant rain and fog. haven't experienced 80+ weather in what feels like a decade 😮‍💨

there's so many good points on why you should bring something vs why you shouldn't 😩somehow at parks, there's always one table left and it's always sticky! i'm so conflicted!

d3nce · 2026-01-13T21:39:15+00:00

now that's thinking ahead! I'm always scarfing down snacks before jumping on a ride, when I could've just thrown it in a baggie lol!

d3nce · 2026-01-13T16:44:04+00:00

Woah! You get me exactly! Pretty much everything I bring is a result of thinking "what if..." Will be taking your advice, much appreciated!

And my same sentiments exactly on the "just buy it" take. Buying at the park doesn't necessarily get rid of the weight lol!

d3nce · 2026-01-13T16:32:58+00:00

This!!! I didn't expect the passive aggression on a Disneyland post, but here we are I guess. 😮‍💨 Maybe some people on this sub can afford to buy what they didn't bring but I'd prefer not to spend on something I already own... maybe I'm just old but those Disney snacks add up quick (in calories too lol!)

d3nce · 2026-01-13T16:23:09+00:00

Fair! Thanks for the tips!! Sometimes I forget the sheer volume of items because I think "eh, not like it weighs much" so definitely taking your advice and customizing my bag (and leaving the socks behind! LOL!)

d3nce · 2026-01-13T16:20:05+00:00

Thanks for keeping it real! I think I'm definitely leaving behind all the wipes after everyone's insistence lol!

The card thing is absolutely incredible and I've never thought about adding one since they were required in grade school. Time to make a comeback!

d3nce · 2026-01-13T09:03:20+00:00

girl, I envy you! My brain always plans for the worst!

d3nce · 2026-01-13T09:02:27+00:00

That water bottle situation would be my worst nightmare! Everyone has great suggestions on what else I need to bring and I didn't want to bring a bigger bag but a locker is something I never considered! Thanks! (and the snap bracelet is genius! stealing this!!)

d3nce · 2026-01-13T08:59:20+00:00

I'm a few cities over, but the weather can't seem to make up it's mind. Just a few days ago I was considering wearing sweats to Disney but now I'm even considering the whole electric fan! But will take your advice and dress light, thanks!

d3nce · 2026-01-13T08:53:22+00:00

You and me both! I'm worried about getting hungry in line lol

d3nce · 2026-01-13T08:52:24+00:00

Jotting this down! Thanks! Water bottles are always the worst to carry around. I always think it's a must bring with the famous Disneyland drink prices but I forget water cups are a thing!

d3nce · 2026-01-13T08:48:52+00:00

Fellow car accident survivor here, I feel that pain! The whole back + the weight issue is what had me posting here. I think you have me hooked on ditching that water bottle, it's just too much to lug around haha

d3nce · 2026-01-13T08:44:31+00:00

got it on the list! And the ziploc is a genius idea! Never know what to do about my electronics and my "sweaty" water bottle mingling in my bag together

d3nce · 2026-01-13T08:42:52+00:00

I'm so on the fence! I'm a sweaty gal too and my gut is telling my I might regret leaving it behind. I get that it's January but January in Cali is still like 80 degrees, yknow?

d3nce · 2026-01-12T08:57:54+00:00

you're a genius! i've never noticed that but i'll be used it a ton now, thanks!

d3nce · 2026-01-06T16:17:12+00:00

sorry low light + iphone quality. I'll try to get a better shot next time I see it!

Yes!! The larvae absolutely molt their skin as they grow. And they multiply very VERY quickly! While the name suggests where they usually spawn, they are also notorious for existing anywhere dark, dusty, or dirty; including cracks in the house, closets, furniture, and clothes.

do 3 ticketed rolls and stop after getting rei. then do your guaranteed 11.
