PART TWO *December 2012 Roll Call* Holidays, FLE & MVMCP!! A very, merry thread!

[Valgoof]

There will be a certain amount of thinning out as it is a school night - our EMH @ DHS is a Sunday too. I always take advantage of EMH. Even if it is crowded and you only get a couple of rides/attractions in, its a couple more than if you'd left at regular closing

That totally makes sense. I think you have convinced me to do DHS EMH.

The fall biggest loser thread is a meat motivation thread for weight loss (=

Freudian slip??

Hubby and I started our treadmill work this week. Actually I have started the workout. He only did it one time this week with me yesterday. I really just wanted to do it to get us used to walking a lot but it would be fine with me if we lost 10 pounds or so! I'm shudder to think how much weight I'll be gaining since I expect to be trying LOTS OF CUPCAKES

Also, I don't want anyone slowing me down on this trip!

I love my treadmill and for me the benefit is my metabolism to burn off cupcakes!! And Nutella waffles annnnd ice cream. Hehe I was doing about 15-18 miles a week at the highest incline but feeling I need to burn extra calories to sustain my 8 nights and 9 days of treats in December! So looking like 25-30 miles a week until Disney!!

I know I have said it before, but .

I'd have thought by now with all your tweaking and changing you would have changed the dates

Anyways .... you want to go to WL, I want to go to WL .... we'll have to coincide our trip

Yay! I'm glad

Funny story. DH scheduled his vacation from work and I booked the resort back in Feb. We were talking a few days later and realized I had booked for the week before his vacation. Ooops.

Ha! Bet that was an interesting few minutes

Um, I do believe that is that a snack credit symbol next to that pork shank! I'm thinking that and a cinnamon role would make a great lunch, and that would give us an extra dining credit to change another one if our ADRs to a signature restaurant. Hmm...must go play with the dining website now

I think the turkey leg is a snack credit so that would make sense. This definitely tops my CS list for FL.

 

[Tltorrez]

Yum. I'm a carnivore. A big hunk of pork sounds good to me!!!

That's what I was drooling over!

 

[Valgoof]

It was. We were talking about when to come home and he kept saying it didnt matter because Monday would be an easy day at work. After like the third time, I asked why Monday Dec 17 would be so easy. He was like, no that Monday will be Christmas Eve. Doh!! We went the second week of Dec last year, so I just assumed that is when we would go this year. He is just lucky we figured it out before I tried to make ADRs!

Anybody have a good point & shoot they like? Something small and cheap.

...looking at the schedule to see if I have any time where I might be slightly hungry whilst at FLE........

ETA: I'm sure to be hungry during the MVMCP night........our last ADR is at LTT @2:40pm. Do you expect Gaston's Tavern will be open during the MVMCP? Surely I'll be hungry by 5pm

I just ordered my son the Canon Powershot A2300. It's $98 on Amazon.. Anything less than that and the cameras don't have a rechargeable battery. (Which is why we're replacing his old one.) For a little more you can get the A2400 line which has image stabilization and some other improved features. For $200+ they have the Elph line. But either way, you can't go wrong with the Powershot. Canon has really cornered the market on P&S.

I like my Panasonic Lumix camera. Nice features and good pics.


BTW, you didn't comment on what I put on your roll call entry.

DD is in bed and DH is going out to jam with his friend. I <3 my bass player.

So that leaves me to plan!! I am really really considering dropping DHS now and just going there late evening. Thanks for feedback earlier.

Does anyone know how late they do the Disney Jr show? I guess I can consult the internets for that answer. The more I think about it, I love the first park day to be at MK so DD can have her first (non merry go round) ride in Fantasyland. I am going to be a bawling mess so it also gives me more time to ride with her on Dumbo, Pan and Small World over and over again.

Exactly!!

Yeah same here!! I think starting tomorrow... Today's workout was shot because of grumpy sick non napping kiddos....

Hope their feeling better.

I wish I could start exercising. Unfortunately, I'm dealing with an inflammation in my left foot from a cortisone shot last month . My podiatrist just switched my anti-inflammatory meds b/c the other one seemed to have stopped working.

OTOH, I am trying to watch what I'm eating so I don't gain anymore weight. I'll be making sure to try to use portion control for both DS10 and myself while in Disney as well as drinking a lot of water. DS is overweight for his age and height, although he is starting to lose the extra weight he gained over the summer. So it's a start

 

[M&MGirl1]

We're planning on being at DHS during the evening of EMH too, only a week after you guys go. I'll be happy if we can get in one or two rides, Osbourne Lights, and Fantasmic! We have a 9pm ADR for 50's Prime Time Cafe then maybe head out after that....before the crowds start leaving It's our first day at The World but we won't be there until the late afternoon.

Take out the EMH and that's our EXACT plan for our first day too - right down to the 50's Prime Time ADR! Great minds think alike!!!

I bought the Canon Power Shot SX260HS. It was around $300 when I bought it right after christmas......I do not love it, but I don't hate it either. I specifically bought it for this trip and I promised myself I'd use it so that I'd know the ins and outs of it.....but I always find myself using my dSLR all the time because it takes such fantastic pictures. On the upside, the new camera came with a darling wrap around short tripod.....I envisioned wrapping it around a tree or some fixture so I could take good fireworks pictures at MK. It's small enough to throw in my small cross-body bag but who am I kidding....I'll probably use my Rebel more than anything. I will try to make myself use this silly camera between now and December.....did I mention that I don't love it?

 

[cybrkitn]

Its called Writer's Stop and is located by Sci-Fi Dine-In in the Streets of America ... one of the 'hidden gems'

Thanks

I think dh and I will split the sampler platter. I also think I will "try" the PB&J shake Oh boy.......I'm talking about food again, aren't I? We just ate a bunch of hot wings.....gearing up for the biggest game of the year! Yankees just beat the Orioles......I was actually pulling for the underdog birds.
