PeepsII-The Hot, Sweaty Asian Strikes Back. Feb 2010. 12/2-Part 2 has begun.

[englishrose47]

It's been quite a journey.....many of the folks here and I have been following each others' PTR/TRs for over 2 years. So we know each other pretty well....well...... as well as you can know someone you've never met.

Yes we insult each other like we were Family!!!!:lmao:And to me we are !!:cloud9:Even Winkers !!!!:lmao:

[jordanyosh]

Hee hee, I remember this!! Every now and then I just say it at random. You gets some "looks" when you do that. :lmao:

Edited to add that I can't ever just read that WITHOUT saying it out loud. So, DH was walking through the living room and guess what he heard. He just shook his head and kept walking.

:rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2: I just did the same thing...no one around...laughing out loud by myself....such a geek I am.

Hi Jordan - I have some catching up to do over here... there's just so much activity here it's have to keep up! Your itinerary looks great!! :thumbsup2 I'm really impressed with your time estimates. :goodvibes

After 14 trips, you learn your own tendencies. I almost always overestimate the time.

Itinerary schiminerary- show me a countdown! :rotfl:

13 days until ADR ressies

114 days til WDW!

979 days til Peep Fest 2012

Ok Been laughing for the past five minutes:rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:
then wipe tears and keep laughing.

Now I can't even think of that phrase without laughing.

[jordanyosh]

I have never had a Grey Goose Slushie

I have never had a Grand Marnier Slushie

I have never had a Lapu Lapu

hmmn...a recurring theme here?

I never.......

I'm in the meh category on parades. I like fireworks and will do one character meal so I can say I did but now that the kids are older, I don't need to interact with them directly!

I've never had a Lapu Lapu

I've never been to MNSSHP or MVMCP

I've never been to the Food and Wine Festival.


:rolleyes1

[Blueyed Girl]

No Hoop Dee Doo??? We will be doing this dinner show for the 3rd time this trip. We LOVE IT!! It's funny plus it's all you can eat and all you can drink wine/beer. :thumbsup2

We are thinking of trying Ohana for the first time this trip too.

[eandesmom]

That is a good thing foor sure Rosie!!

Hmm maybe Eandesmom would consider a disneyland trip...;)

We could all take over HoJo's!!:thumbsup2

Seriously if business brings me down there, I will let you all know!

I like the Annabella....

for cheap off property.

[disneygirlinnj]

Ohhh...the interary looks fabulous! :)

And if your roomies are addicted to Bejeweled...do NOT tell them about Snood! OMG...that was my downfall in college and every once in awhile I still get sucked in. We would stay up until the sun came up playing!

I've never been to Flights of Wonder

I don't count HDDR as a character meal. It is the bomb! LOVED it. I have been informed that it will NOT be ok if we don't go next time. And yet, it isn't on the list.....

<screeching car sound>

wait a second.......HDD has free beer/wine? How did I not know that?

Actually, I knew that....would have to figure out if it's in the cards....

I drive by the Annabella quite often.

The wonders of photoshop.....I guess I should be lucky I'm fully clothed...;)

Too funny......:rotfl2:

[All7OfUs]

That was a perfect way to get my day started off with a, "OMG! That is the funniest thing I've seen since the Hoop de Doo"! I doubt you'd ever see it, Cnythia, but this was a very close second best!

Seriously, the HDDR is well worth the 2 credits. We howled! The kids thought it was funny, and the adults thought it was funnier after a pitcher of sangria!

You must go!

[jordanyosh]

I've never been to La Nouba

I've never been to Ohana.

I've never been to Flights of Wonder

I don't count HDDR as a character meal. It is the bomb! LOVED it. I have been informed that it will NOT be ok if we don't go next time. And yet, it isn't on the list.....

Flights of Wonder is one of my favorite shows......

I've never eaten at Boma.

I've never gotten anything at Goofy's Candy Kitchen or whatever it's called...

I agree with Liesa, it was well worth the 2 credits and I can vouch for the free red wine as being quite drinkable. The table next to us raved about the Sangria.

Flights of Wonder is one of my favorite shows......

I've never eaten at Boma.

I've never gotten anything at Goofy's Candy Kitchen or whatever it's called...

I've never stayed at a Deluxe

I've never dined at a Signature Restaurant

I've never seen Storm Along Bay.

I got an espresso at Goofy's. Does that count?

[All7OfUs]

I've done absolutely NONE of those things either, but I have had a Dole Whip Float. Some things just have to take "priority eating" :lmao:.

[MAGICFOR2]

:cool1: Just when I needed a few laughs, (hubby very grouchy about the DIS), I come in here and you are all making me laugh!

Winkers, "Oh my Heaven!" - that made me laugh just to see it!

Oktoberfest Jordan - :worship: We should have different characters for Jordan like for Mickey - Captain Mickey, Star Wars Mickey, Sorcerer Mickey, etc.


Looking back through the posts, it sounded like an anti Disney AA meeting:

My name is eandesmom, and I've never had a gray goose slushy or a Lapu Lapu ....

Or My name is Jordan and I've never eaten at Ohana....

There were lots of "I nevers" :rotfl2:

[All7OfUs]

Hey Magic!

A fellow closet DISser here! My DH is over the top grouchy about DIS too, so sneak it in whenever possible. Keeps me sane, keeps me laughing.

eandesmom- you should have put a kilt on his notebook and stuck it in too. I'm sure it would have appreciated having a trip to Germany with his kilt-clad Papa.

[glennbo123]

Hee hee, I remember this!! Every now and then I just say it at random. You gets some "looks" when you do that. :lmao:

Edited to add that I can't ever just read that WITHOUT saying it out loud. So, DH was walking through the living room and guess what he heard. He just shook his head and kept walking.

My wife has somebody who works with her named Marcia. Whenever I hear her mentioned, I have to say......"Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!"

And now I've got all of you doing it too. Admit it!

It could be done. Jordan, they could be your binder tabs

And do you mean Oliver the tiki or the cousin? Hee hee hee. ;)

I even bought the BB soundtrack CD and made Jordan and his friend Susie listen to it in the car. Have it on my iPod and listened to some today :thumbsup2

Love love love it all.

RE. #4---- Neither have I! THANK GOD!

Since you must endure such a travesty, might I suggest practicing the art of banging your head on a wall now? Did you know, not only does it actually relieve stress, you can burn up to 150 Calories an hour doing it? If that does not help, you could add a list of "places to conveniently ditch MIL while making it look like an accident; it could slip nicely into a binder right beside, say, the ADR page? :confused3

good to know. i've seen pics of chef mickey's and it just didn't appeal to me. i'd rather go to tusker house for a character meal and it's easier to get! and of course if i have no reason to go to CRT, i'm not going to break my neck doing it! we are actually thinking about doing it next trip if we do the deluxe DDP just for the experience.

You certainly could be... but Sandy sounds different than mine of Cherie's...

Random thoughts:

I had a very bizarre dream last night!!! An idea came to me: Ethnic costumes around the World Showcase, featuring Jordan paperdolls! Every child should own a set!!

I have nevers, (since it's the thing to do)

-- ridden Astro Orbiter

-- been to Conservation Station at AK (does ANYONE go here?)

-- and here's the GRANDEST OF ALL!!! I've have never-----------

Met Mickey, in person!!! On my honor, I swear it's true! I will now tuck my tail and run.

She's not so bad. Sometimes she's incredibly awesome. I truly enjoy her most of the time

I'm mildly irritated with her right now (though she doesn't know it) but nothing I can't easily get over or is really unexpected if I take a step back and think about it. And really, isn't my problem anyway.

:rotfl:

I love the paperdoll idea..... but are we talking ones that you can change the clothes on or the chain holding hands kind?

Ok, I haven't done the first 2 either but MICKEY?

awww

that's just sad!

[MAGICFOR2]

Hey Magic!

A fellow closet DISser here! My DH is over the top grouchy about DIS too, so sneak it in whenever possible. Keeps me sane, keeps me laughing.

eandesmom- you should have put a kilt on his notebook and stuck it in too. I'm sure it would have appreciated having a trip to Germany with his kilt-clad Papa.

We'll have to start a movement - Closet DISers Unite! :hippie: Who wants to stage a sit-in at Epcot, right next to the gray goose slushies?

[MAGICFOR2]

good to know. i've seen pics of chef mickey's and it just didn't appeal to me. i'd rather go to tusker house for a character meal and it's easier to get! and of course if i have no reason to go to CRT, i'm not going to break my neck doing it! we are actually thinking about doing it next trip if we do the deluxe DDP just for the experience.

I just can't see doing CRT either. I have to get up and be on the phone by 4am:scared1: Even with my niece, we made ressies at 1900PF to see Cindy. Much easier. Buffet was meh, but we got to talk to all the same characters. The other one I would venture to do with a little girl is Askerhaus. We'll see - when that little girl says, "I want to eat in the castle Grandma!" what will I do then? :lmao:

[MAGICFOR2]

My wife has somebody who works with her named Marcia. Whenever I hear her mentioned, I have to say......"Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!"

Edited to add:
And now I've got all of you doing it too. Admit it!

That's funny! My family did the "pork chops with appleshash" thing for years, too! (My boys didn't get it) and I have a sister named Marsha! We've said the "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha" a time or two. Of course she loved it. :laughing:

[MAGICFOR2]

I admit, I busted a gut with the choking on the gum comment.



It could be done. Jordan, they could be your binder tabs

:rotfl::rotfl:

In the meantime if anyone is wondering how kilt clad Jordan got to Oktoberfest, it would appear he started out here...

I was quite possibly at WDW with my OWN mother! I am not certain, but perhaps that could have been a quite larger brain fart moment when I decided to include them. As far as I"m concerned, mixing it up with parents of any kind should be forbidden. I hereby invite all of us who've been so dumb to give intervention when needed to whomever embraces this risky inclusionary thinking.

I just posted some pics and a special one for you that's not on FB. :rotfl2:



Dawn, you aren't missing much and thankfully I am wearing my flame retardant undies but both CRT and Chef Mickey's were gross. :scared:

I miss the non-Character meal days of CRT....The Major Domo Prime Rib Favorite Pie was the best....I think the last time we went there for lunch was 2003.......haven't been there since......

Great DL pix by the way.

I've never....had a lapu lapu
drank the water from Splash Mountain
gone on carousel of progress
had a mickey bar

Never been on COP? Really? Wow!!! it's the BEST place to cool off and/or take a quick nap.

People drink the Spalsh water? :scared:

If you have your mouth open during the big drop...;)

Does he have set times? Both Kim and I have always wanted to stay at POR. So maybe we could all head over there on one of our DTD nights......

[jordanyosh]

I've never been on a Tour.

I've never been to Disney World with my mother-in-law.

I've never been to One Man's Dream

If you have time, see One Man's Dream, if only for all the Disney memorabilia and history displayed in the waiting area. I usually spend half an hour just looking at the pre-show stuff.....

You've never been on Universe of Energy? It's a 45 minute air-conditioned nap waiting to happen. I've actually gotten on the floor of the car and fallen asleep. I do enjoy the attraction, but if I'm hot and tired, I love going to UoE!!!!!!!

Chapter 36. Adventures in dogsitting

So for the last week, we've had the "privilege" of dogsitting for a friend of Leo's. Now don't get me wrong I love dogs, but Chihuahua's....do they really qualify as a dog? It's more like a large rodent. I didn't hate having the dog around and honestly Buddy loved having someone closer to his age. They really had a lot of fun together and the dog was VERY affectionate.

Her name Chanel...with a crown studded collar...need I say more:

Trip related info:

Airfare Roulette
Kim and Allan have booked their airfare.2/6- Departing EWR 7:00ish arriving in MCO at 10am. 2/14- Departing MCO 6:00pm.....Their flights cost 230something......

Just waiting for Wendy and Derek to book their airfares...today flight were in the mid-400 range for R/T. :scared1:

ADR countdown
Our window opens on Tuesday, October 27th at 3am or 4am PST depending on which method we use....

Here are Wendy/Dereks' tentative ADRs:
Sunday, 2/7-6pm The Wave (never been)
Mon, 2/8-7:15pm Coral Reef (last visit for them: 1996)
Tues, 2/9-None
Wed, 2/10-Noon Prime Time Cafe (tradition), 7:00pm Ohana (never been)
Thur, 2/11-6:00pm Chef Mickey's (never been)
Fri, 2/12-6:00pm California Grill (been 3-4 times)
Sat, 2/13-7:00pm Teppan Edo (tradition)

I think it's a good mix of new restaurants and ones they know they'll like.

Kim and Allan's ADRs
Sun, 2/7-the Wave
mon, 2/8-Coral Reef
Tues, 2/9-None
Wed, 2/10-Noon Prime Time, 7pm Ohana (maybe switch out)
Thurs, 2/11-Date night Jiko?Chefs? Kouzzina?
Fri, 2/12-6pm Ca Grill
Sat, 2/13-7pm Teppan Edo

Almost all TS meals will be with Wendy and family.Kim and Allan will probably switch out Chef Mickey's and have a Valentine's Dinner somewhere nice. I've also volunteered to 2 extra CS meals I have so they could add 1 more TS if they wanted or make another one a 2 TS meal....

Jordan's ADRs
2/10-Prime Time
2/13-Teppan Edo

I will only have 2 TS meals with the rest of the folks.These 2 will be OOP as I will be on the QSDP not the DDP at this point. For the 4 night solo portion here are my tentative ADRs right now on the DDP:

2/15-Jiko
2/16-Kouzzina
2/17-Lunch-Sanaa

2/17-Dinner-I am toying with one more TS and paying OOP for this as Jiko is 2TS.........It's a free night for me so I could really eat anywhere......

Here's my short list:
Boma (completing the AKL/V Trifecta)
Rose and Crown
Le Cellier
Chefs de France
Flying Fish
Raglan Road
Kona Cafe

Not sure if this is a done deal. I have a week to think about it....

I'll post my revised itinerary shortly.

edit to add:

I only changed the last 2 full days of my itinerary. Something wasn't quite right and I couldn't figure it out. Then switched some parks around and I left the last night open so I could have the option of going to the park I felt most drawn to. That might be decided for me IF I decide to book and TS ADR for that night, but I can always cancel and just do CS as well...Here's the original version of the last 2 days:

The old version while having me be able to sleep in on Tuesday had me going to Epcot on an EMH during President's Week. Probably a mistake. It is probably smarter to Epcot the next day. It's also probably smarter to do DHS on Tuesday morning, the day after the DHS Evening EMH.....

Let's see, I have never:

had a Grey Goose Slushie

been on Mission:Space

eaten at Le Cellier

eaten at the castle

There are tons more they are just not coming to me at the moment! :cutie:



1) soooo good on a hot day. be sure you try it on your next visit!:thumbsup2

2) I can understand why people don't go on this if they are motion sensitive.

3) Sacrilege--although I haven't eaten there since 2001 or 2002 myself.

4) It was better when there was an option to eat at CRT w/o characters....

[All7OfUs]

10, 9, 8, 7.... You're almost there. I do hope you get your last one nailed down before too long, but your choices look fab. If it were me, which it's not, I'd go with Boma. But that's just me, which it's not.

Chihuahuas are ummmm... interesting, but will forever be assos. with Taco Bell for me. Forever! That was a high school/ college days sort of thing.

It's the obvious choice for me because it's right there at AKL/V...we'll see.

I could see in a smaller apartment with no yard how a smaller dog would be better.....I wouldn't get one, but I am more understanding of it now...

[winkers]

she kinda has that the lights are on but no one's home look....bless her heart.



I can barely keep track of my own schedule...I have no idea how you keep track of 3!:worship:

[Lady Lallie]

I think the revised itinerary looks really good. Are you happier with it?

I think any of those options for your ADR to be decided sound really yummy. It would be neat to complete the AKL Trifecta since you are staying there.

[Charleston Princess]

Oh, Chanel looks like such a cutie! We have never had a small dog -- all of our dogs weigh more than our children. :rotfl:

Your ADRs and itinerary look good -- no matter which ADRs you decide to go with, they all look delicious!

[glennbo123]

Glad to see that Sanaa has made the cut.....so far.

Another vote for Boma.

[DisneyMom14]

RE. #4---- Neither have I! THANK GOD!

Since you must endure such a travesty, might I suggest practicing the art of banging your head on a wall now? Did you know, not only does it actually relieve stress, you can burn up to 150 Calories an hour doing it? If that does not help, you could add a list of "places to conveniently ditch MIL while making it look like an accident; it could slip nicely into a binder right beside, say, the ADR page? :confused3

Hmmm If I start banging now...maybe I can lose the 10 pounds I wanted to before going in Dec. :laughing: Got any ideas on good places to ditch MIL??? The wheels start turning...:lmao:

Oh and next trip your goal should definitely be meeting the mouse :lovestruc


Jordan, Great iten. and I'm a little jealous about some of your ADRs. :rolleyes1

Here is a vote for BOMA for the meal you are looking to add! :)

I couldn't keep up with your sleep schedule...I need more than 7 hours! :eek:

The dog is cute! :)

I THINK I've been to one of the Mouse Houses...just don't remember which one....

Hmmm If I start banging now...maybe I can lose the 10 pounds I wanted to before going in Dec. :laughing: Got any ideas on good places to ditch MIL??? The wheels start turning...:lmao:

Oh and next trip your goal should definitely be meeting the mouse :lovestruc


Quite possibly you could really do it!! I'd wear a padded helmut though. Might hurt otherwise.

Hmmm.. places to ditch MIL. Let's see.....

1) Anywhere along the parade route say around 3:00. I lost my patience and my mind there. :lmao:
2) You could tell you that your were "recruited" at Haunted Mansion.
3) Get her on M:S Orange side; you'll not see her the rest of the trip.

I'd love to see him, I guess, but the thought of character meals jeebs me out kinda. Although, I MAY do one on our trip... all I can say about that for now. ;)

Here is a vote for BOMA for the meal you are looking to add! :)

I couldn't keep up with your sleep schedule...I need more than 7 hours! :eek:

The dog is cute! :)

But not as cute as Muffin!

Are you sure you're going to be able to hit those AM EMHs with ThePreachersWife and myself?? :confused3

hmmmm....I wonder what degree of difficulty getting kicked out of the houses would be....:rolleyes1

With Jordan, I think anything might possible! I've seen pix. of your kids too picking Roy's nose, if I recall...., the degree of difficulty most certainly goes WAYYYY down, I'd think. :lmao:

[jordanyosh]

she kinda has that the lights are on but no one's home look....bless her heart.



I can barely keep track of my own schedule...I have no idea how you keep track of 3!:worship:

It's not too bad between Kim/Allan and Wendy's itineraries because they are basically the same. However, between theirs and mine, it's a bit more complicated as I am not on the DDP, but the QSDP. So dinners are separate and are our evenings, many nights, are separate. So I have to cross reference stuff alot of times.

I think the revised itinerary looks really good. Are you happier with it?

I think any of those options for your ADR to be decided sound really yummy. It would be neat to complete the AKL Trifecta since you are staying there.

:rotfl2:. You should know the answer to that question..;) I am happy with it, but I spent 2-3 hours yesterday trying to see if other combinations of things would work. I'm happy with the first portion of the trip, but the solo part still kinda isn't quite right....:confused3

Oh, Chanel looks like such a cutie! We have never had a small dog -- all of our dogs weigh more than our children. :rotfl:

Your ADRs and itinerary look good -- no matter which ADRs you decide to go with, they all look delicious!

When you hold her you feel like you have to be very careful with her or you'd hurt her. Not used to that!

Still thinking about upgrading to DDP for the other portion of my trip, still not working out intinerary wise though....

[All7OfUs]

LOL!! We've done it again! :lmao: Are you my antimatter? (Is that hyphenated?)

[eandesmom]

I was quite possibly at WDW with my OWN mother! I am not certain, but perhaps that could have been a quite larger brain fart moment when I decided to include them. As far as I"m concerned, mixing it up with parents of any kind should be forbidden. I hereby invite all of us who've been so dumb to give intervention when needed to whomever embraces this risky inclusionary thinking.

Cynthia, I'm praying for you!!

I knew I was single for a reason.

I'll have you all know that I have done Disney, both in CA and FL twice as an adult with MY own mother (and father and my bazillion siblings/nephews etc) and it has been fabulous!

It is entirely possible....dare I say probable?

that both MY mother and my MIL will be present on this trip....

My dad is ready to go again. HP is putting him over the edge, my mom too.

I just have to figure out how to have them there without Sandie feeling like my clan is taking over her trip. However if it is just my parents and not the whole clan, it could be a good MIL distraction tactic if needed!

I am blessed to be surrounded by Disney freaks.

I am sure it will be discussed at Ocktoberfest tonight!


Chapter 36. Adventures in dogsitting

So for the last week, we've had the "privilege" of dogsitting for a friend of Leo's. Now don't get me wrong I love dogs, but Chihuahua's....do they really qualify as a dog? It's more like a large rodent. I didn't hate having the dog around and honestly Buddy loved having someone closer to his age. They really had a lot of fun together and the dog was VERY affectionate.

Her name Chanel...with a crown studded collar...need I say more:

Yo quiero Taco Bell

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Jordan's ADRs
2/10-Prime Time
2/13-Teppan Edo
2/15-Jiko
2/16-Kouzzina
2/17-Lunch-Sanaa

2/17-Dinner-I am toying with one more TS and paying OOP for this as Jiko is 2TS.........It's a free night for me so I could really eat anywhere......

Here's my short list:
Boma (completing the AKL/V Trifecta)
Rose and Crown
Le Cellier
Chefs de France
Flying Fish
Raglan Road
Kona Cafe

Not sure if this is a done deal. I have a week to think about it....

The old version while having me be able to sleep in on Tuesday had me going to Epcot on an EMH during President's Week. Probably a mistake. It is probably smarter to Epcot the next day. It's also probably smarter to do DHS on Tuesday morning, the day after the DHS Evening EMH.....

Good thinking on the switch. Last year, Presidents Week, MK was horrid every day, as was DHS. Epcot and AK not so bad....

It did not seem to be terribly EMH related but then again I could have just been in a daze. Either way, definitely hit DHS in the am.

Or come back after EMH starts at night! The EMH crowds at night, once it started, were not bad anywhere (comparatively)

Hmmn. I vote for....

Boma. It's just so pretty down there! And the soups...oh the soups!

Although all of your choices are good.

[jordanyosh]

Glad to see that Sanaa has made the cut.....so far.

Another vote for Boma.

Sanaa was off, but I put it back on last night. It fits right now.




Jordan, Great iten. and I'm a little jealous about some of your ADRs. :rolleyes1

I'm ready to go and eat right now.


Cute dogs !!

You rrevised version looks good !!

Raglan Road ia fav of mine , I LOVE the "It'snotbleeding chowder" and the desserts are sooooooo good !! I have had Ger's pudng andthe Baileys cheesecake both delish am eyeing the Banana one for next time!!!

I really do want to leave that last night open for rest or whatever I feel like doing.

I've heard such good things about RR......if I end up at DTD that last night it's on my list....

[jordanyosh]

Here is a vote for BOMA for the meal you are looking to add! :)

I couldn't keep up with your sleep schedule...I need more than 7 hours! :eek:

The dog is cute! :)

I slept until 10am this morning which means I got up 45 minutes ago! I need my sleep too, but most nights get by with 6-7 hours.

Boma is getting alot of votes...:thumbsup2


hmmmm....I wonder what degree of difficulty getting kicked out of the houses would be....:rolleyes1

Not too difficult if we went screaming through it...;)

I am however, faithfully indoctrinating my own children with the virtues of being Disney freaks. Hopefully, I will NOT be my mother on any future trips with my grandkids!! ;)

Oh..did I know you were there at that time last year?

Thanks for the great info!

[Sooze]

Jordan, I am blown away that you have SO much planned out and organized... down to dates, times, locations, attractions. WOW!

I am leaving in 42 days, I have NO CLUE what we are doing! I did ADR's for two TS, including a Candlelight Processional package. Other than that... clueless!

I bow down to your ability to plan ahead and be organized!:worship:

Doggies were WAY cute!

As the eldest daughter I'm hoping that I get the Mickey Pint Glass but we will see! All depends on my arrival time, if my brother beats me to it and if both he and my dad are wearing liederhosen....

And if someone brought a double IPA.

:rotfl:

We got our love of Disney from Jim's uncle and our boys and DILs have it too, so it's being passed down to our grandchildren. I'm really worried about being "the MIL" too, after reading all those stories. I'm younger than most of "those MILS", but I can tell we're already getting on our kids' nerves. I guess when we pay for the rooms on our big "together" trip in 2012, they'll probably give us a little grace! :goodvibes

Tammie,

I think they key is to realize up front that it is ok if everyone isn't together, all the time. That sometimes the individual families might have their own needs and agenda's. And that everyone needs breathing space at times.

It took my mom until the 2nd trip to figure that out (and a heart to heart from myself and my sisters with her before the trip) but she "get's" it now and is a joy to travel with. She is an uber uber planner but has learned it's ok for her to plan as much as she wants, share with everyone, and they will follow along...or not...and both are ok.

I hope the airfare comes down for Wendy and Derek :scared1:

They are flying Continental. The flights had continued to go up so she thought she should lock them in.

We'll see for Wendy and Derek...it's gone up and down...but not as low as the 325 we saw in early Sept.

Continental prices swing a lot. I'm considering using them in August, but hate making the drive from Bayside to Newark. JFK is so much easier.

I hope Wendy and Derek get some airfare pixie dust :wizard:

325 -350 isn't too bad from LAX.

I've been checking the airfare from JFK to LAX and it's been close to 500. I'm waiting for cheaper rates before I book anything.

Thank you! That is such a good way to explain it, and something to remember for sure. Now to share it with Jim, my DH!;) We are planning to cancel the treehouse idea and get a 2bdrm for all of the kids and grandkids and then a studio for us "old folks" so they can all be young together and papa won't get too grouchy:goodvibes I'm sure we'll babysit so they can go out to the parks at night, too.

I laughed..I cried..I developed a crush...okay..so maybe I didn't cry, but it was very cool seeing the pics of you with your nieces and how close you are. At any rate, very cool ptr, I've just read it in two sittings (nothing like having to be up in the middle of the night to do resp treatments for a groggy child..lol), and truly enjoyed it. The way you link at the bottom of the entries was very handy. Will look forward to following along now that I'm caught up :)

Um...where is Purdue?

Nope...he didn't change his ways...just was working on his deck during the game so he didn't know what the score was. So that explains why he was rubbing it in...LOL! We went to breakfast with my parents this morning and my DH asked if my brother was going to be there and I said no (brother lives near Cleveland and were supposed to be home this weekend)...Dh says "good!" :lmao:

On disney trip news...my parents bought Caleb a new umbrella stroller because they thought I was crazy for bringing my big stoller...it had two cup holders for ME and thats why I wanted to bring it...but apparently this new one has one cup holder for me but none for DS, so oh well kid...mommy has a place for her diet coke or beer depending on what park she is in! lol!

Chanel went home a few days ago and Buddy was so depressed for a day or two, but she stopped by for a visit today and both Buddy and Chanel had fun! I must admit I kinda missed her too. She's really affectionate which I had not expected.

Thanks again for your review. You and a few others have given this place raving reviews. Since I'm staying there, it would be a shame to skip this place.

Ok, I'm trying to get my ADR plans straight. Please explain to me what is going on with the ADR's as far as the whole 90 day or 180 day thing. Is it switching BACK to 180 days ON October 27th?? If so, then we are already inside the 180 day mark, correct? Beyond that, I've read different things about what time to do this. I plan on doing it online so is the 3 am time supposed to be 3am eastern?? :confused3 I'm a little confused and don't want to miss the boat if ya know what I mean! :thumbsup2

Always my pleasure. My parents had the opposite problem of never being where they were supposed to be (WITH MY KIDS!). They showed up to the parks when they got hungry, mind you they never wanted to help plan or make ADRs, and then proceeded to complain about hot dogs and nuggets. Ummm.... "I told you like 6 months ago we needed to have reservations".... hellooooo???!!!!

Jordan, just saying good morning! Am waiting to see where you put that last ADR.

I thought as much... Ah well, the suspense might kill me, but I still say Boma (although, that'snice just gave a raving review of Ragland Rd).

I"ve eaten there once. It was OK! Was it the one on 158th and Cornell??

We're really not sure where we'll end up when we get back. We own a house in the Gateway Dist. but it's wAYYYYYYYYYYYY too small and in the middle of urbania! I think we'll opt out of the driveby shooting range, and try to find something out toward Forest Grove or Cornelius Pass.

Okay, this is too much chatter.... I feel compelled to say that I'm very thankful maroo will make all our ADRs for us, I wouldn't do very well making them at 3:00 AM. I'd probably end up eating at Vick and Al's. :rolleyes1

yup. I also opened the one in Vancouver and the one in Clackamas.

I'm hoping the prices from JFK to LAX come down. American has the best flight times and options, but the prices are so high right now. I paid $275 for my trip to St. Louis and even thought that was high considering it's a short flight.

I'm also hoping the prices to MCO from either JFK or LaGuardia come down. I priced our late Aug/early Sept trip and the flights range from $300-$400 per person either on Delta or American. :scared1: The flight isn't even 3 hours!!! Continental is slightly cheaper, but driving to Newark is a pain and I'll have to park at the airport. That ends up being more money. I prefer the short trip to JFK or the even shorter one to LaGuardia and pay car service. I'm hoping that either the prices come down or JetBlue releases better rates. Right now, JetBlue only has rates out for up until April 30th.

Does JetBlue fly to LAX?

[Blueyed Girl]

It switches back to 180 days on October 27th. You can begin to make online reservations at 6am EST and call in at 7am EST if I understand correctly.

By the way, what made you decide to go ahead with coming in February? I am sooo excited you changed your mind! Do LA schools have that week off? I thought it was the following week that was Mardi Gras holiday week?

Thanks for the info! I will try the online booking that morning.

We only have 2 days off of school for Mardi Gras. Not enough to plan a trip. Plus DH couldn't get off that week. We weren't going to book a trip because of those reasons and we weren't sure about pulling him out of school. When the buy 4 get 3 free deal came out I decided to talk to his teacher and school and see what they think about pulling kids out of school. Turns out they are totally fine with it for Kindergarten as long as the child isn't extremely behind. So, there you go! We are booked and I can't believe it all worked out. If you remember, I really thought it was a lost cause. Funny how pixie dust works. :thumbsup2

Hi Jordan!:wave2: Just trying to catch up...

I am amazed at your itinerary... I think the changes you made to the last two days are great!

Wendy is waiting and hopefully they will come down in the next few weeks...

JetBlue flies into LAX and Long Beach I think.

Well, the fact that we are there at the same time is amazing.

If you check out my itinerary, you can see where I'll be and when.....I do have alot of free time in the evenings.

Well, since Louisiana schools and schools in the Northeast all have that following week off, I'd say we picked a good week to go. Hopefully the discounts won't affect crowds too much.

Hi Kathy. Thanks for stopping by. I know you have alot going on right now:hug:

Not too much longer til your trip. It's like 2 weeks away!!!!!:woohoo:

Hello!

If we play like we did last night, we won't make it out of Philly.

[Sarahboo]

Wow. I just read your whole trip report, I love all of the hilarious pictures. I would also love to stay at the BWV one day, but it certainly won't be this trip for me either.

[Native NYer]

JetBlue flies into LAX and Long Beach I think.

How do they feel about flying Southwest?

[jordanyosh]

Wow. I just read your whole trip report, I love all of the hilarious pictures. I would also love to stay at the BWV one day, but it certainly won't be this trip for me either.

party::welcome:party:

BWVs are awesome. hopefully next trip.

[jordanyosh]

If the price was right, they're open, but the difference needs to be pretty significant

I know, it is AWESOME!! :woohoo: Can't wait to see you guys again and Cherie & DJay too! And didn't you tell me that Rosie might be there too?? So cool. :banana:

Yeah this was always our favorite week to go. Either before Mardi Gras or after it depending on how it is situated to Presidents Day weekend. We like to skip both of those and the crowd level is usually VERY good. I looked up our crowd calendar for that week and we have 5's to 7's, except on Superbowl Sunday which is an 8. Not bad at all!!

[Blueyed Girl]

PS- as soon as we put DS to bed we are going to compare our ADR list to yours. We may be in the same park on some days as well as ADR's. You never know!

okay.:thumbsup2

lets compare notes and see why we picked certain parks on certain days...your opinion would help me get an objective viewpoint of the itinerary as it stands now....

[jordanyosh]

That's the plan my friend;)

:rotfl2: go blue! tie score

[Blueyed Girl]

Ok, we took a look and compared our itenerary to yours. We will be in Epcot on the 7th too, as well as AK on the 9th, and DHS on the 10th!! We also have lunch planned at 50's. We were thinking 11 but may push it more toward noon because we aren't usually hungry in WDW by 11am. I need to be able to fit all that pot roast in my belly!! :cloud9:

[Blueyed Girl]

okay.:thumbsup2

lets compare notes and see why we picked certain parks on certain days...your opinion would help me get an objective viewpoint of the itinerary as it stands now....

I pretty much went with Touring Plans' info to create our itenerary. I hope it works! Here is what we've got:
Sat. 6th - Epcot *Coral Reef* tonight. (gotta have that octopus juice!)

Sun 7th - Epcot (I thought about changing one of these Epcot days because I usually like to spread them out rather than do the same park back to back. But I may just leave it and see how it goes.) *Teppan Edo* tonight.

Mon 8th - MK *O'hana tonight*

Tues 9th - AK & maybe a little DHS. Not sure because we are doing hoop dee doo this evening at 7:15 so we may just make a day of AK. (especially since we are doing DHS the next day)

Wed 10th- DHS *50's-lunch* / *Captain's Grill for dinner at the Yact/Beach Club* (just because we've never been)

Thurs 11th - AK / DTD *Donald's Safari Breakfast @ Tusker House* / *T-Rex for dinner*

Fri 12th - MK *Kona - dinner*


Sometimes I look at it and love it and sometimes I look at it and think I could/should change a couple of things. Who knows what will happen by February!! :rolleyes1

[Blueyed Girl]

good to know. just remember the cheerleaders are at DHS the 5-7th and 12-14th......

you sticking with OKW....?

I managed to plan around the Cheerleader thing. :thumbsup2 And yes, we are going to stick with OKW. With this deal we could upgrade to the Beach club or somewhere else for the price that we USUALLY pay at OKW for only 6 nights, but we have decided to keep the lower price and stay at OKW. We are still planning on doing a trip in June with my mother.

OKW....I almost regret changing to AKV, but I'm sure in the next 20-30 years, I'll have the chance to stay there....;)

I'll have to stop by and say hi and have a drink or two..

I'm on draft 4 right now...last trip I had 14 drafts...so things might change. it also kinda depends on the park hours once they get released. I am happy with it now.

We may end up at MK the morning of the 8th too, if Wendy can't get a good price for the redeye on the 5th. She may have to come in on the 6th and not have any park time. We'd probably do MK EMH (remember how good that was the last time or did you stay? I can't remember) on Sunday night and double back and do it again Monday morning before we head over to World Showcase.

Thats true! Thursday we will all be in DTD. On Friday we may do MK for most of the day then have our dinner at Kona around 6pm and then head to Epcot for the Evening Magic Hours. (assuming the EMH info I've gathered is correct)
We are leaving Saturday morning around 9 or 10 am so no parks on that day. BOO! :sad2:

Oh yes!!! I forgot about the MK evening hours on Sunday. I knew I was forgetting something. I need to make a new page, I have little notes written all over the place. We will definitely head over to MK for that after Epcot & dinner. DH is wondering where he is going to watch the Superbowl. I'm thinking a little bit of everywhere! Just pop in somewhere and get a quick fix and head out for more fun. :lmao:

[Blueyed Girl]

Oh and about OKW, you can come check it out while we are there. We love it but you are right, you will make it there someday. It's not a huge rush. I kind of wish we would have branched out more before getting so settled into one place. :rotfl2:

Hello Jordan!!!!!

I hope I'm not interrupting anything too special. I finally made it here to catch up on your PTR. I've missed a lot.

Congrats on getting your air booked.

I am both happy and jealous about your stay at AKL!!!:snooty:

Your itin. looks good so far. I'm sure you'll get it ironed out before you go. With so many days it can't be easy.

I love all the pictures of you with the kids. :goodvibes

Chapter 37-A new wrinkle in the plans.

Before I get to details about the trip....

Here's what I did today

1) I took the 4runner in to be serviced
http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc299/jordanyosh/random%202009/newcar001.jpg

2) My roommate, Jean, and I went out to breakfast at the Original Pancake House. The original Original Pancake house is in Portland, although the one in Anaheim's been around since 1958.

She ordered the Dutch Baby:

I had the banana pancakes with tropical syrup:
http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc299/jordanyosh/random%202009/mondaydayoff002.jpg

We had a couple more hours to kill before my car was ready so we went to the Block (mall) and hung out at Borders. We drove by here on the way to the Block:

Then on to Borders:
http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc299/jordanyosh/random%202009/mondaydayoff004.jpg

Of course I only had one thing on my mind:

It's so weird how much things haved changed in such a short time. I think I was still buying the Birnbaums and Unofficial Guide til 2006. Wouldn't even buy one now...

On the way back to pick up my car. We drove by Angel's Stadium:

Dining news

I've been looking at my dining plans and I'm really bummed that I won't have more table service meals. I had thought about adding the regular Dining Plan to the front end of my trip. But somehow it didn't really feel right to have to have some TS meals alone while the rest of the gang was still there. With the solo part of my trip I have 3 TS meals scheduled with one more optional that would be OOP.

What I am now thinking of doing is adding the Deluxe Dining Plan....for 4 nights its about 280 dollars. I'm already spending 160 for the regular Dining Plan.....What Deluxe DDP gets me is 12 TS and/or CS credits to work with for those last 4 days....

So IF I were to do that here would be my TS/CS meals

Sunday 2/14: Dinner-Boma
Monday 2/15: Breakfast-Kona Cafe, Lunch-Leaning Palms, Dinner-Jiko
Tuesday 2/16: Lunch-Brown Derby, Dinner-Flying Fish
Wednesday 2/17: Lunch-Sanaa or Le Cellier, Dinner-CA Grill

I thought about whether it would be uncomfortable eating solo. Jiko, Flying Fish and Ca Grill all have counter top seating around a cooking area--very nice for singles to eat! For lunch or breakfast, I don't think it'll be as bad. Doing Deluxe allows me to complete the AKL trifecta. It also allows me to try Kona Cafe! the only regret...no Kouzzina--at least as of this minute. In order to fit 12 meals in 3 1/2 days I had to do alot of Signature Dining so Flying Fish took the place of Kouzzina.

I haven't even thought if I could afford it, although I'm pretty sure I would....

So what do you think? Should I pull the trigger? I don't need to pay for it right now. I can make all the ADRs and just cancel later.......

[k_reile]

i just bought the complete idiots guide to WDW for my brother for his birthday! I didn't know they had it and it was too funny.:lmao:

[All7OfUs]

For what it's worth, I'd go ahead and add it, if you don't think it'd be too much of a strain. I think having a few double credit meals would be great- single or not!! I could see going to Artist's Point or Jiko's a as nice bonus- and Hoop too!! Although, Hoop single, wouldn't be so fun; better with a group.

So tell me, if you get FD, can you pay the diff, and upgrade to DX?? Yeah, I know there's a whole thread on it, but a quick answer would be good from all of you in the know!

I would make the ADR's and then if you decide NOT to do it, cancel!:thumbsup2

[punkin413]

i say go for it! i think the extra $120 it would cost is worth it for some of the places you'll be eating.

[Lady Lallie]

Pull the trigger! Upgrade to deluxe.

I think it's a great idea. You'll have so many great meals, not to mention Brown Derby. You know how I've been pushing for that one for you. :laughing:

Your pancakes look awesome!! Mmmmmm!

[eandesmom]

I :love: the original pancake house.

I especially :love: that dutch baby.

Oh how I wish there was one nearby.

Not that we go out for breakfast EVER anymore.

Darn kids.

They finally built one in Seattle although it's a million miles away. I've sworn I'm making us go and really, I'm going to follow through on that. Soon I think. Either that or attempt to make a dutch baby. I used to know how but wow, it's been a long time. Hard to make it for 6 though I'm thinking, I wouldn't want to share.

So...just so I am clear, you went and looked at the books but didn't buy them? Just checking.

I say go for it. DxDP is a lot of food but for 4 days I could see it being really fab! And YUM what a list!

Can you sneak in Kouzzina earlier in the trip? :rotfl:


F

So tell me, if you get FD, can you pay the diff, and upgrade to DX?? Yeah, I know there's a whole thread on it, but a quick answer would be good from all of you in the know!

You do realize, of course, that every single one of us on these boards will say "yes", right? What self-respecting DISer is going to say otherwise? :rotfl:

That Original Pancake House looks like my kinda place. What exactly is a Dutch Baby?

[All7OfUs]

Dutch babies are super, super easy!!! I make them occasionally- it's only like eggs, butter (a lot), flour and a pinch of salt and soda. Way easy! Excellent with berries and powdered sug. or with maple syr.

[jordanyosh]

i just bought the complete idiots guide to WDW for my brother for his birthday! I didn't know they had it and it was too funny.:lmao:

I'm pretty sure you can upgrade.

But it is the FINAL score that matters my friend:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

yeah...different year, same result.



I would make the ADR's and then if you decide NOT to do it, cancel!:thumbsup2

That's what I'm thinking

[All7OfUs]

There we go being each other's anti-matter selves again. Look at the time we posted!! :lmao:

[jordanyosh]

i say go for it! i think the extra $120 it would cost is worth it for some of the places you'll be eating.

It's A TON of food...I remember in 1997, we did something similar and I gained 10 lbs..


Pull the trigger! Upgrade to deluxe.

I think it's a great idea. You'll have so many great meals, not to mention Brown Derby. You know how I've been pushing for that one for you. :laughing:

Your pancakes look awesome!! Mmmmmm!

Brown Derby was one of the main reasons I did it. That and Boma.

I :love: the original pancake house.

I especially :love: that dutch baby.

Oh how I wish there was one nearby.

Not that we go out for breakfast EVER anymore.

Darn kids.

They finally built one in Seattle although it's a million miles away. I've sworn I'm making us go and really, I'm going to follow through on that. Soon I think. Either that or attempt to make a dutch baby. I used to know how but wow, it's been a long time. Hard to make it for 6 though I'm thinking, I wouldn't want to share.

So...just so I am clear, you went and looked at the books but didn't buy them? Just checking.

I say go for it. DxDP is a lot of food but for 4 days I could see it being really fab! And YUM what a list!

Can you sneak in Kouzzina earlier in the trip? :rotfl:


I can't believe I hadn't been to one in a few years. It's sooo good. They have great bacon too.

I did not buy the books.

I'm bummed about Kouzzina. I think it'll find it's way back on the list. I basically just threw in the meals without much regard to my itinerary. I'll have to go back and figure that out tonight. So Kouzzina may make a comeback.

I'm not familiar with Disneyland Parks...is that building TOT?

I'd upgrade to DxDP, but it's easy for me to say cause I'm not spending the money!:rotfl:

[jordanyosh]

You do realize, of course, that every single one of us on these boards will say "yes", right? What self-respecting DISer is going to say otherwise? :rotfl:

I realized that, but I was hoping that somewhere out there someone would be the voice of reason...so far it's going my way;)


That Original Pancake House looks like my kinda place. What exactly is a Dutch Baby?

See Liesa's response (all7ofus)



There we go being each other's anti-matter selves again. Look at the time we posted!! :lmao:

scary....but cool.

Yes, that's the much inferior California Adventure version of the ToT.

So that's how you abbreviate it. I was trying to figure it out last night.

Money isn't as much the issue as how much steak and dessert I can fit in my stomach. The DxDP also includes appetizer...

[KathyRN137]

MMM! I love Original Pancake House; we eat there at least once a month! My fav is the blueberry waffle! :lovestruc

Considering the signature dining places you are planning, I think the $120 is a good investment!

I would love to try Sanaa, esp since we'll be staying right there at Kidani, but I'm afraid the rest of the family would not like it at all. Oh well, there's always Boma for breakfast!

I'm thinking I need to hit up the Pancake House once a month...so good.

I think it's going to worth it too if I can adjust my schedule to still include alot of flexibility.

[eandesmom]

I think it's a great idea for you. Both. Deluxe and the Pancake house once a month!

I'd have to get a cast iron pan to make those puppies though...lost it to the ex and never replaced it. DH is a far healthier eater! Hmmn.

[SwansLoveDisney]

All of those restaurants which you will enjoy on the Deluxe Dining Plan sound fantastic.

I would go for it!

Those pancakes look GOOD!

I'm pretty sure I'm going to go for it, but waiting to see how it fits into the itinerary. Don't want to be too tied to ADRs....

Healthy eating is overrated...as my heart and arteries cry in agony

The pancakes were soo good. We also managed to drink 4 cups of coffee each, a side of hash browns and a side of bacon.....OINK!

I'm excited again about the dining option that popped into my head. Something wasn't quite right about the solo portion of my trip. I think I knew that I wanted more TS meals!:thumbsup2

[rentayenta]

:banana: What's going on my favorite Banana? :rotfl2:

[winkers]

i hate to admit this....i've slept in the tub before:rolleyes1

I would only be surprised if you were sober when you did this.:rotfl:



Those pancakes look so good!! Now I need to make some.

I say go for the dddp!

[jordanyosh]

:banana: What's going on my favorite Banana? :rotfl2:

just working...well as you can see....working and DISing....:rolleyes1

Weather has been just awesome the last 3 days 70 degrees, partly cloudy with a fall feel in the air......

I would only be surprised if you were sober when you did this.:rotfl:

I guess you're not surprised then..;)

the Banana Pancakes were awesome.

I'm leaning towards pigging out on my solo days. Thank God that AKV has a gym...:rolleyes1:rolleyes1

should we take bets on how often you visit the gym?

[jordanyosh]

You should....:rotfl2:

[brookelizabeth]

Just to be different, I'm going to say no, don't do the DxDDP. :laughing:

I've found I don't like planning my days around ADRs all that much. And I can't eat all that food either!!

But, if you like planning that many ADRs and you can eat that much, number crunch it and figure out what the best bet is for your buck.

[Mickeefan]

Jordan:

We upgraded from free dining to the DxDDP for our trip last September. I really liked the opportunity to get appetizers (especially the sushi at Calif Grill), but by the time we were eating at 1900 Park Fare on Saturday night, I had had enough food and was not able to eat much of anything. I think I ate 3-4 bites of salad and some dessert. If I did it again, I would do it as a solo or with an all-adult party.

I booked a bounceback for next year with my parent's, but we probably won't upgrade to the DxDDP.

Eating that much food probably won't be much of a problem, but planning around my ADRs might be. I like flexibility in my solo time so we'll see if I end up keeping the DxDDP.

I'm happy that you chimed in with your thoughts since you have had 1st hand experience. I don't know if I could do it for a full week, but since it's only 4 nights and I'm by myself I might be able to swing it...we'll see. I would have to throw a breakfast in there and I am NOT a morning person...

Thanks again!

My last trip was a 2-parter. The first part was 4 nights with the reg DDP. The 2nd part was 4 nights that we upgraded to the DxDDP. So, the Saturday night at 1900 Park Fare was the 4th night of the 4 on the DxDDP. We didn't really use our snack credits very well. In fact, I didn't even have ONE of these: :mickeybar:! Unbelievable!

We did breakfast at Kona one day at 10:30am, not so hard for a non-morning person! :laughing:

I don't like that too full feeling....hmmmm.......I also don't like eating when I 'm not hungry...I'm gonna have to think about this one.

Yeah, in 08 we had 23 snack credits with one day to go. We were trying to get full value for them and ended up with too many at the end.:)

I can't believe you didn't have a mickey bar, but at the beginning we didn't deem ice cream bars or soda "snack worthy"...

Sleeping in the tub, was that here in Az this past summer:rotfl2::rotfl2:
I would say for just you and 4 days to do the DDP. Sounds like it gives you a great oppertunity to try new places.

Who just got completely ROBBED on a stupid call :headache: @ 3rd just now. Luckily it didn't cost an extra run and they got out of the inning......

Dining news
So what do you think? Should I pull the trigger? I don't need to pay for it right now. I can make all the ADRs and just cancel later.......

YES!! I think you should. Like you said....don't have to pay for it now and really only need to know 45 days before :thumbsup2 Go for it! Make your ADR's and then you can always cancel!

BTW - did you see my new ticker I have below?? Will have a prince or princess soon to take to the most magical place in the world! :love: Can't wait!!!!

[Native NYer]

I say go for DxDP. We've done it twice. And while it is a lot of food (we didn't nearly finish all of that food), it was nice to have lots of options prepaid. And the AKL trifecta would be a reality :thumbsup2

[GeminiAngel]

Wow! I really got far behind. :confused:Still catching up.* Spring for the Deluxe Dining, you only live once. :banana:

[All7OfUs]

Well, that was certainly something to wake up to! :lmao:I could have gotten another 15 mintutes of sleep and not missed that at all!

Tub stories; one time, my mom and grandma went on a road trip (I was about 10, I think, so I don't remember where) but DGM started snoring sooooooooo bad, I bagged a place in the tub just to get away. It can happen... :rolleyes1 It can actually even be sorty comfy given enough pillows and comforters. :rotfl2:

Gym bet: NADA, NOT ONCE, ZERO times!! After DxDDP it will be hard to roll down there, I think.

[Sarahboo]

Uh, yeah you should spring for the DxDP, then you should send all of your doggie bags my way.

Those abs are impressive. ;)

[jordanyosh]

Eat solo. I only read the links. I had no problem doing it. The first time is weird but I got over it.

i'm leaning towards the DxDP, but I want to make sure I'm not giving up a ton of flexibility before I for sure go for it. I'll probably make the reservations and then decide for sure.

I would have to bring workout clothes for me to go to the gym. I think one year I went 3-4 times....so it is possible.......but I'm guessing it's not going to happen....

Uh, yeah you should spring for the DxDP, then you should send all of your doggie bags my way.

I wonder how much leftover food will be in my refrigerator on checkout day?:rolleyes1

see it's not the workout clothes that are the problem, it is the workout shoes...that take up a lot of space in the suitcase and are not park shoes! or pool shoes...or restaurant shoes...

I'm a flip flop kinda guy. but I did bring sneakers and dress shoes last time....if I do DxDP, I'd probably buy a new pair of shoes..yes, shoes....and some new clothes. That subject will be visited on this PTR right after Xmas....

I do need new workout shoes.....

[All7OfUs]

See, you can't keep us ladies off the subjects of shoes, bags, clothes, etc... It always comes back to shoes....

Seriously. No one needs to be looking at Zappos at this hour, Zumba or not. Talk about easily led astray!

I'll just squeak and stick another week. An impulse by won't help tomorrows class! Night west coasters and 'Staners!

[Charleston Princess]

The Original Pancake House looks quite yummy! I wonder if there are any on the East Coast...

I just looked and there are three in the Atlanta area! Woo hoo!

The Deluxe Plan sounds like so much food...that's a tough call...
