Adulting is Hard, So I'm Running Away! ~ An Oct 2016 PTR ~ Update 10/19: Peace Out, Yo!

[KathyM2]

Love it!! I especially love the buffets and "eat all the things" LOL. Your meal at Yak and Yeti sounds really good right NOW...want!!!

 

[cinderkelly]

Just repeating what Sarah said, this DR is going to be epic!!

 

[Steppesister]

LOL!! I have an almost identical spreadsheet, but I"ve add adult bevvies where appropriate. (Pssst, they always are!)

Nice work!!

 

[DisneyJo]

Wow you're so organised you definitely won't be hungry at Disney

 

[Elevationist]

So when I win the lottery, I am coming eat at all these places with you LOL! I do this a lot with meals ... and a lot of time it all goes out the window when I get there! Especially at WDW...normally because I have gotten overheated and don't want to eat anything unless it is cold.

Everything sounds GREAT!

I never have that problem. It could be 120 degrees out, and I'd still happily mow down a turkey leg.

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.

Looks like a lip smackin good time!

It will be, I'm making sure of it!

I miss all the Disney food planning

Hey, at least you get to do all that Disney food sharing now! Speaking of which, when do we get another Dining Report post?!

You are going to be eating a lot of seriously good food. Seriously.
This dining report is going to be epic.

That's the idea! I'm looking forward to doing the seriously epic research for said Dining Report, too!

All caught up - and your dining plans are making me cry. HBD was the BEST meal of our whole trip. I'd never eaten there before and now we all agree it will be our 'last night dinner' for all future trips.

I'm so glad to hear this! (Not that I'm makng you cry, but that you had a great experience at HBD!) A not-so-great review I read a few months ago nearly put me off of it, but I've always wanted to try it, so now I'm gonna!

I had fallen so far behind, but I'm all caught up now!
- First of all - congratulations on your weight loss! That is amazing, good for you! I wish I had the dedication to be out of my bed so early in the morning to go work out...

Oh trust me, it only happened that one day because I was staying up all night to do ADRs anyhow! Otherwise... Pfffft!!!

- That ADR list! I look forward to your dining report after your trip!

I look forward to eating everything so I can write said Dining Report!

- Princess Cupcake McFluffybutt is so cute! She's a very lucky kitty that you happened to be at that particular gas station at that moment. If I had a bigger house/more money, I'd own so many pets...right now I'd say the 11 we have is enough (but 7 of them are caged rodents, so it's not as bad as it initially sounds)

I know it, money is main reason I'm declining to keep her. So I totally get it.

- I really need to get back into reading. I used to read all the time, and now I never seem to have any time for fun things like that - by the time I get home, tend to my garden, feed the dogs, do a load of laundry or sweep the floors or vaccuum (something house-work related), eat supper, clean up, take the dogs for a walk, feed the cats, shower - it's basically time for bed. When I do get back into reading though, I know who to ask for recommendations!

When you're ready, I'm always happy to talk books!

- Good for you for aiming for a runDisney event! My boyfriend runs all the time, and ran the 10km at Disney this past January, and is signed up for the half marathon in January 2017. He's been trying to convince me for years to join him, and I finally gave in and signed up for my first 5km race at Disney in January as well.

How exciting! I'm really nervous about it myself, but also excited!

- Great job on having the trip almost paid off! I still owe so much on our last trip, but I'm trying to pay off our upcoming trip before we go this time. We have a good jump on our spending money for our 2017 trip though - we're Canadian so we both try to switch some money over to US a few times per month. That way we can't spend it unless we go to the States - and that's a 6-7 hour drive, so it's unlikely to happen.

That's pretty smart! I use the Disney Vacation Account to put my money somewhere that I can't blow it. Even my spending money etc goes into it, and I withdraw it a few weeks before the trip. (If I have easy access to it, I'll spend it on stupid stuff!)

Love the way your mind works. Though I think forever hungry (or hangry in our house) describes us both to a tee. While you know i don' do a spreadsheet I may be known to browse constantly and decide what I'd eat that day. Pure torture and I love every minute!

Once more, this is why we're friends, Kari.

Seeing the Truffle Mac N Cheese at Yachtsman on your spreadsheet is bringing back some beautiful and delicious memories Could not BELIEVE how heavenly that was!!!

Maaaannn, I'm so looking forward to that meal. You don't even know!

Eat All The Things! Best. Plan. Ever. Seriously, am I hungry because I am thinking of food, or am I thinking of food because I am hungry?

I don't know what to tell you, because I'm just FOREVER HUNGRY.

Love it!! I especially love the buffets and "eat all the things" LOL.

That's totally the point of family-style and buffets though, right?

Your meal at Yak and Yeti sounds really good right NOW...want!!!

I WANT IT RIGHT NOW ALSO!

Just repeating what Sarah said, this DR is going to be epic!!

That's totally gonna be me... Except replace the broccoli with a turkey leg.

LOL!! I have an almost identical spreadsheet, but I"ve add adult bevvies where appropriate. (Pssst, they always are!)

Nice work!!

I seriously considered doing a Beverage column! But I know in that area, I'm much more inclined to be spontaneous. Not to mention that the drink menus listed online for the restaurants are usually just small snapshot of what's actually available!

Wow you're so organised you definitely won't be hungry at Disney

I dunno about organized... I'm just obsessed with FOOD.

 

[hokieinpa]

That spreadsheet speaks to both the hungry girl and the slightly OCD one inside me.

Yum, everything looks so good! And I think we're going to have identical orders at HBD!

This is true! For me, what is listed is usually something I want. And at the very least it gives me the place to hold out for. I try to limit it to one (spendy) adult bevvie a day (sometimes 2), so kinda have to plan out the WHERE a bit. At least the meal or time of day....

 

[IowaTater]

I know I said this on your FB page but it is sooooooo good that I don't live closer to you. Cupcake would be coming home with me! I'm not too sure Oshie would like it, though. He is such a momma's boy. It can actually be a bit annoying.

Look at you, girl!! Planning food stuffs, even down to the add-ons.

 

[LindseyJo22]

Oh man, I'm so excited!

This trip is going to be epically amazing I can't wait to drool over the dining report

We just booked a shorter trip in January (because we are those people - and we are crazy) and my husband and I are already talking about food! And our plans for our February weekend, too I'm sure the plans will get rearranged, but I love looking at all the menus and thinking about what I will order It's even more fun when I look at yours, because there are so many fun things!

Glad everything seems to be going well with the little Princess - she is still just adorable

 

[Elevationist]

I'm behind on so many of your threads again! I knew it wouldn't stay caught up for long!

That spreadsheet speaks to both the hungry girl and the slightly OCD one inside me.

Sames! And it helps to pass the time while waiting for the trip to get here!

Yum, everything looks so good! And I think we're going to have identical orders at HBD!

We have such good tastes!

I know I said this on your FB page but it is sooooooo good that I don't live closer to you. Cupcake would be coming home with me! I'm not too sure Oshie would like it, though. He is such a momma's boy. It can actually be a bit annoying.

Oshie will adjust! Road trip! Come get her!

Look at you, girl!! Planning food stuffs, even down to the add-ons.

Heck yeah, girl. On top of my Deluxe Dining plan, I have a whole budget dedicated to "Other Food/Drink!"

Oh man, I'm so excited!

I can't wait to eat all the noms for the Dining Report! I think about it literally EVERY DAY.

Will you adopt me? I want to go to Disney as much as ya'll do!

She's do VERY well! I couldn't be more pleased!

Hey, ya'll!

Drive-By Update... This is what happens when Billie is bored (often) and hungry (always)...

As a High school teacher I highly approve of your graphic organizer. Beautiful. Planned. Delicious!

 

[IowaTater]

Hahaha, yeah right. I couldn't talk DH into it. He has enough trouble with just one!

Heck yeah, girl. On top of my Deluxe Dining plan, I have a whole budget dedicated to "Other Food/Drink!"

See! This is why we could be food besties! I've been stockpiling gift cards for all the extras (including delicious beverages).

Food is the most important part of a vacation! Who wants to be hungry, seriously?!

 

[Pixie Dust ✨]

Hi Billie. We're traveling at the same time, so I'm enjoying your PTR.

We have reservations at CP for the same time & day! Race you to the Puffed French Toast!

I love the Fried Wontons at Yak & Yeti, too... ahh, memories...

 

[Chicago Mo]

Remember me?
I refuse to do any work as i have a damn summer cold. and i cannot think clearly

So i think i am caught up here. Thankfully we are friends on facebook otherwise i would be dreadfully behind! LOL

So how is Garden Grill for breakfast? just as good as lunch/dinner?!?

Love the EAT ALL THINGS.. Just be careful with being on Atkins for so long the carbs may make you ill.. can't have that in Disney!!!

I have LOADS to write about in my own reports but figured i better get caught up with everyone first!

 

[IowaTater]

Food is the most important part of a vacation! Who wants to be hungry, seriously?!

Totally agree. I get pretty ugly when I'm hungry (I blame the diabetes) so it's important to know where, and sometimes even what, I'm going to eat when on vacation. We didn't plan for many meals while we were in Pigeon Forge and I got in trouble a couple of times.

 

[Chicago Mo]

Your talking about me disappearing on you..

HELLO WHERE ARE YOU?!?!

 

[Elevationist]

Hi Billie. We're traveling at the same time, so I'm enjoying your PTR.

Hi there!

We have reservations at CP for the same time & day! Race you to the Puffed French Toast!

You're on, sister! And if you actually do spot me, feel free to say hello (between bites, of course)!

I love the Fried Wontons at Yak & Yeti, too... ahh, memories...

I made my Y&Y reservation JUST for the wontons. (Of course, I'll just happen to need to eat other delicious things while there.) I skipped them on my one and only previous visit, and have regretted my life choices ever since!

Remember me?
I refuse to do any work as i have a damn summer cold. and i cannot think clearly

I hope you're feeling better, Mo!

So i think i am caught up here. Thankfully we are friends on facebook otherwise i would be dreadfully behind! LOL

Not like there's a lot to fall behind on. My life is basically just cats, books, and food.

So how is Garden Grill for breakfast? just as good as lunch/dinner?!?

I have no idea, this will be my first time for breakfast! I'm really looking forward to it, as I love dinner there!

Love the EAT ALL THINGS.. Just be careful with being on Atkins for so long the carbs may make you ill.. can't have that in Disney!!!

I did a practice run at retirement party last month, where I ate all the things, including the cake and ice cream. I didn't get ill afterwards, just SLEEPY. I figure if it happens at Disney, good. Maybe I'll actually finally get some sleep while I'm there!!!

I have LOADS to write about in my own reports but figured i better get caught up with everyone first!

I hear ya. I was doing so good for a month or so there, but now I'm weeks behind on everybody's threads again!

I get super HANGRY (hungry + angry), and I don't even have Diabetes to blame. I just LOVE food.

Your talking about me disappearing on you..

HELLO WHERE ARE YOU?!?!

I know, I know! I've completely fallen off the DIS. Things have changed at work so I can't really be here during the day, and at night it's all cats and books and sleep. I promise to figure out how to squeeze in some DIS time soon, though!!!

 

[Steppesister]

Making all the rounds and saying all my howdys. Hope you're well, Billie!

Hey, ya'll!

Real quick drive-by update here... It's my last day at work before my 9 days of staycation, wooo! As such, I'm getting all my ducks in a row for ADRS on Sunday morning!

I've put together my wishlist in ranked priority for scheduling ADRs. (YES, I worked in a dinner at Ohana... Ya'll are such bad influences!) Look it over and let me know what ya'll think of the booking order I've set up, please?

What do ya'll think? Am I on the right track here? Your help is great appreciated!

Love your line up!
