I've never had a pedicure in my life. I'm not sure I've ever had a professional manicure.
Alison! You must get a mani/pedi!
(After enough wine I won't even know how to take a Pic!)

I got way behind on my trip reports and missed this until today. I am somewhere on page 14, but I wanted to comment.
Oh my goodness about the cancelled plans and Fran's leg.
Hooray for band rehearsal and band friends at the party! Band people are awesome, but I am biased.
Hooray for tri tip (and for meat in general)!
Hooray for a Christmas trip! Our first 2 holiday trips were at SSR, and we loved it there. Easy access to DTD is the best!
Jill!!! What happens in the GV stays in the GV.
Alison, pedicures are heavenly. I bet you can get one added to your spa day.
I never wanted one before, but I broke down and had a pedicure at Aulani and it was heavenly. GO FOR IT!!!!
Get a pedicure.
It is the most relaxing 45 to 60 minutes to have your feet pampered, dead skin removed and massaged! Its one of the few things I keep in my beauty maintenance routine. I may go 6 months between hair cuts - but if I go more than 2 months between a pedicure, something is very very wrong. Ideally I like them every 3 to 4 weeks.
I absolutely agree on the pedicure topic with all the previous posters: Get one!!
I have even started my father on getting regular pedicures! He has some old man toe nail issues and since he goes regularly for a pedicure the issues are gone!
There is no way I could ever make my feet look and feel as nice as a professional pedicure can do it! And the best thing is that pedicures are often rather affordable spa treatments!
Mary mix has a lot of ingredients so pre-mix is fine. If you're wanting homemade, I use Clamato, Worcestershire, celery salt, pepper, horseradish, Louisiana hot sauce (not Tabasco), green olives, celery, lemon. Oh and vodka!
Well, no offense, I'm a little afraid of Clamato, don't do olives, so I'm thinking that the mix will be fine, if I don't like it, I will have some V8 in the room. I'm thinking a bloody mary on Saturday morning before hitting the park for a ride. I wonder if Soarin will be having soft openings....

I never thought about using Clamato before! I've only ever used V8 and the exact same ingredients as you, including a bit of olive juice Love me a good Bloody Mary.
Smart, smart, smart!
You must get one then, especially it being your first one, do it right at the Grand for sure. I was never fond of the idea of people touching and scrubbing my feet, until I had one and it was really relaxing.
Happy to read that you are considering getting one. But 65$ for a Disney one is indeed very steep! I am sure there are cheaper local options around.
The big weekend is nearly there! I guess you are starting to be very busy with preparations!
Great news!!! I'm glad that she's making some progress and can finally put some weight on it to walk!!!I thought I'd just share a few things with you. Fran saw the Doctor today and as we hoped, he said that she could start walking on her leg again. Not for long distances and only in small amounts, but she doesn't have to keep the scooter within 1-2 feet of her location any more.
You did remember to rent the Uhaul truck so you can get all that stuff to GCV, right?So here's my staging area as of today, I only expect it to grow and even more rapidly as we get closer to the date.
That is awesome!!!!And while we have encouraged folks NOT to bring gifts to the party as we really have just about everything we need. Naked Jim found something that we don't have that we sort of can't live without for the party.
Is it legal to own that many firearms in the state of California?We got 8 shotguns/rifles and 9 single action revolvers moved out of #2 and the gun case and guns moved to the new house.
Fran saw the Doctor today and as we hoped, he said that she could start walking on her leg again.
It's a big relief and she should be able to get around the Grand Villa without having to use the Scooter, however, she will get pretty tired and need to take some naps, probably especially while I'm at the spa.

Single digits. The parents arrive a week from tomorrow.
