And here I was hoping it'd get easier!
Oh well, at least I can hopefully make the motion sickness part better! 
So excited!!!

Your last post reminded me I still have to get the anti-nausea wristbands and motion sickness meds too! I will use them on my cruise! 
I am still terrified of ToT. I like speed, but I am scared of free falling...that's why I love RnRC and hate ToT!! Good luck on ToT!
I am like that on EE. When I rode it many years ago I felt ill and then that ill feeling stayed with me all day. I hated feeling like that at Disney so since then I've avoided that ride. I just don't want to take the chance, and there's plenty other stuff at AK to keep me occupied while DH rides single rider!
J Buffet is great!! Sounds like a fun concert!

In September, I rode Space Mountain for the first time since I was 29 (I'm 34 now). I found myself screaming much more than necessary, and stumbled off of it questioning if they cranked it up and made it more intense in the last 5 years.
Right?!?
When did getting old make us become so off balanced?

Just jumping in on the anti nausea conversation..
Ginger is a great way to also help with nausea. You can get ginger caplets at any drug store or Whole Foods Market. I had also read while doing my cruise research that green apples are supposed to help. I had read that on rough sea days they cruise crews put green apples for everyone. I haven't ever tried the green apple trick but the ginger has worked for me.
Yea for magic bands!!
We just returned from DL yesterday and I have to tell you I really missed not having one! Having to deal with paper fastpasses, paper park tickets and room keys was kind of a pain in the patoot! It's so much easier to have it all in one.

I'm not gonna lie... I'm still a bit terrified about Tower of Terror as well but I'm hoping to convince myself that the anti-motion sickness meds will be my cure-all. Mind over matter, right?!
It was a great concert, indeed!!!
I'm glad you also like Jimmy!

Thank you so much!!! This is an excellent idea - I'll be sure to get some ginger too! I can't over-prepare for this trip in that department... I'd much prefer to not spend my days in the bathroom feeling
Interesting, I've never heard of the green apple trick but I'll keep that in mind too!I hope you had a great time at DL, despite the inconvenience of having to use that archaic paper system
I agree, it really is so much easier to have it all connected to your wrist! My only time in DL was in 2010 and I loved it... someday I'll get back!

I hope they meds work, you really need to go on Tower of Terror and enjoy it!
Thank you!!! I know!!! It's gotta happen, and I'm bound and determined that this will be the trip!
Our trips are almost here!!!!
It's so crazy, almost too hard to believe!!! And look at you - you're already into the single digits!!!

I second the ginger! I'm a flight attendant and a lot of us carry ginger candy in our bags just in case we hit bad turbulence and need some. Hope all the meds you prepared work so you can enjoy your trip to the fullest! Have fun on ToT, it's one of my favorite rides at DL. Less than a month to go!

Awesome!!! I actually just picked up some on my way home from work tonight!
I'm trying to stack the deck in my favor as much as I possibly can! Thanks!!! I can't believe how close I'm getting!

Hello there!!! [waiting for @pkondz to respond on this…]
I hope you’ve all had a lovely week! Mine has been busy but not nearly as busy as next week will be. I’ve signed up for a three night course for first-time homebuyers
(jury's out on whether I'll actually do this... the home buying part, not the workshop) plus I have a dentist appointment plus I have two physical therapy appointments (I have a knee injury from running too much 
), plus I have an evening out with friends to watch the new Avengers movie, plus I’m going to my sister’s on Friday night (2+ hours away) to see our best friend who is having her baby shower on Saturday (an additional 2 hours from my sister’s house), plus I’m hightailing it back home after the shower to make it [briefly] to my cousin’s going away party. I’m exhausted just thinking about it! Anyway… I’m sure you’re all so appreciative to know all those mundane details of my life. So on to the good stuff!
I had a very Disney week this week! First off, my MagicBand arrived!!!

Secondly, my grandmother bought us tickets to see Beauty and the Beast at a theater about 30 minutes away – it was amazing!!! All I was allowed to take photos of was the stage pre-show so you’ll get that at least.
This was absolutely amazing! The cast was phenomenal and the whole night was just awesome. I can't say enough about it.
I also have started buying some items for my trip and slowly starting to pull things together. My friend (the same one who is having her baby shower next Saturday) got me this notebook a while back and I figured it was perfect for taking trip report notes!
Also, a special thank you to @cinderkelly (and to @bunnyboo for backing her up) on recommending ginger capsules. I just picked some up at Wegman’s tonight on my way home from work! Tower of Terror… here I come!!!
I’ve also made myself a list of things I still need to accomplish before my trip. Among that list are the following items:
1. Finalize daily plans
2. Finalize must-eats
3. Book my next trip by May 10th (voucher deadline)
4. Figure out approximately where other Disers will be and when so I can make some Dismeets happen! I think I’ve got a pretty good handle on @Dugette thanks to her awesome daily plan updates
5. Print out Mousekeeping envelopes and decorate them

Hi Tracy!
Uh, oh.
Wha'd I do???
I'm in trouble...
It was that night in Bangkok wasn't it!
Busy, tiring, and waiting for a day off.
(Only 1 more week to go!)
Good for you!
Ugh. pkondz still has a sore tooth from the crown he got the other... month?
plus I have two physical therapy appointments (I have a knee injury from running too much
Been there... the physical therapy part that is.
The running... not so much.
Is that coming out already?
Time's going by in blur.
I'm exhausted just reading it!
Nice!
Looks like a beautiful theatre!
And again...
Tower of Terror… here I come!!!
Woot! You go girl!

In reality, though, it really was the "" - you do this every time and I just love it!!! 
I sure hope that week goes fast for you - you need a break! And, let's be honest, I need my trip to be a week closer anyway!
Oops. Probably too soon to have mentioned the dentist, huh?
Yep, sure is! I'm seeing it Thursday, though to be honest, I'm not entirely sure that's opening night. But knowing my friend who secured us all tickets, it's likely that it is.
Right?!?!I'm exhausted just reading it!
It really is. I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but I don't exactly live in a booming metropolis. The fact that I can see a play at a place like this practically down the street is pretty darn cool.
Well this surely goes without saying but I will anyway: pkondz - you're amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks! I really love it!
Oh that's a great idea, though I suppose if I add any coloring, I'll have to be the one to do it
But yes, I agree! They're so much fun to leave! And the more creative you get with them, the more fun they are! I'm sure Mousekeeping especially loved yours since your girls made them extra special

Yes, there's always that.
Never would be too soon.

You have a busy week ahead! All the better to pass time until DISNEY!
Yay for Mickey Mail!
And I can't wait to read more about your plans - especially the 24-hour day! And to see what dates you picked for your next trip!
I love Wegmans! We didn't have one near us when we lived in Virginia but since moving to Pennsylvania I'm a total convert!

I was thinking that I need to do a post about this. I know I have overlap with a number of DISers and need to make sure I've got it all figured out. 
Okay, I think you've inspired me. I've never done this, but we have envelopes, Minnie stickers, and a toddler that will need something to do on an airplane...

Wait... You have a dentist appointment AND a Disney trip????? How did you get so lucky?
See, this is why I don't bother running. I can injure my knees just fine without running, thank you.
Yeah... Just keep rubbing that in there Tracy. Seriously though, YAY!
I'd be interested to hear how this compares to the MGM show.
I always planned to do that one day. Maybe I need to write some notes in a notebook to remind me.
YAY DISmeets. I've heard they can be pretty fun.

Your upcoming week does sound super exhausting but a lot of fun things in there too!! It's funny - DisMeets sound like so much fun....everyone has such complicated plans though...how do you get people in the same place at the same time lol. I'm sure it will happen because super organized people will make it so...but I'm sure it will involve spreadsheets!
