Also great info! Thanks! I found this great free app called "Lose It." It lets you track your calories and you can set it to also report the amount of sugar you're eating. My fave part of the app though is that you can scan the bar code on any sort of packaged food, and it will bring the...

Thanks for the tips!!!! Yeah, I'm just looking to reduce refine sugar, and maybe I'll tackle carbs later. I'm trying to take everything in small steps, lol.

Hi All! I've decided to try to reduce the amount of extra sugar I consume each day. My initial methods include cutting out soda (even though I LOVE coke) and avoiding baked good/pastry breakfast options. Does anyone have any other good tips or snack ideas for this? Thanks so much!

Hi All - thanks for the perspective, I really appreciate it. I am still going to go ahead with the trip, whether it be with a friend or solo. Thanks!

Hi all. Yesterday my partner and I broke up. We had been together for about a year, and I thought everything was going well. We were planning on moving in together this summer, and had booked a WDW vacation together in the fall. Yesterday he told me that he missed the novelty of a new...

Port Orleans French Quarter September 18-23! Also scored the free dining!

Totally still needed plane tickets from Boston to Orlando...and boy did prices jump!!!! Ended up booking flights on Airtran. I usually prefer Jet Blue, but anything that gets me to Disney is more than ok!

I know that there is much debate regarding the impact of Free Dining on the parks, quality of food, and the level of truth in the word "free..." But it was offered so I did it! First time ever using the Dining Plan! Since I was behind the ball in making reservations, I need to do some...

Howdy All! Despite my user name I come to you in shame and a moment of confession. Last December my partner and I decided to do our first Disney trip together. We set our dates for September...and then that was the extend of any planning until this weekend (totally not his fault, he's...

I would LOVE to live near Disney...I just wouldn't be able to handle the summer time heat every year.

I never got to do Back to the Future, which was one of my fave movies growing up! I went just after the closed it down. I did do the Simpsons ride on my last trip, and it was pretty awesome!

Those are good considerations too! I've been researching more about the cost vs. value of the dining plan, and I'm thinking that maybe still doing on sit down restaurant a day but just paying Out of Pocket would work too.

Character meals are amazing to include on your trip! If your child has favorites, I'd recommend seeing if they appear in any of the character meals. It's one of the easiest ways to get some quality character time in without having to wait in lines at the parks.

Thanks! So many decisions! I spoke with my supervisor at work and requested time off today! I think that even though it looks to be humid, September 18th to 23rd is going to be the winner! I researched the crowd levels and they are expected to be super low!

Harry Potter!!!!! Thanks so much! I guess that would be ok. :thumbsup2

I didn't realize that Jaws was closing! That is such a bummer! It was fun to walk through the town and then up to the docks. Do you know what they are replacing it with?

Thanks for the info and suggestions! I'm definitely the Disney planner for this trip, but that's totally ok since planning is half the fun! I think we're going to stay at the Port Orleans French Quarter. I also think we're going to end up doing the dining plan. My partner is big into...

Thanks for the suggestions and info! I love Disney any time of year, but my partner is a little cynical and isn't convinced that Disney is a magical place. I really want him to "drink the Disney kool-aid." And happy birthday!!!! A birthday at Disney sounds awesome!

Hi All! Happy New Years! My partner and I are planning our first trip to Disney World together! I've been to Disney World several times, but this will be his first trip. We've looked at our calendars for work, and I've narrowed down three weeks in the fall that look like good options (I...
