OMG...GREAT idea!!! I am definitely using that table idea and laminating it!

LOL--yay for another laminating project! Great idea!

I don't remember who it was on here who was intrigued by the idea of a Jungle Juice slushy somewhere in AK. I think someone on here was excited by the idea of it! Lol. Well anyway, I was reading the DFB 2016 Holiday Ebook and it's at Mahindi (formerly Harambe Popcorn)

The idea of that as an adult beverage sounds quite appealing IMO. . .

 

[PlutosUnDr8d]

you are so sweet. I'm sure my family would be happy to get over it if I apologized and went back to the way it was, doing what they say and being there when call but I don't want to. I just don't have it in me anymore... and the more time that passes the less tolerance I have for "playing my role" in family unity. They have shown their true colors and how they feel about me so now I surround myself with people who enjoy my presence rather than tolerating it.

But I am mostly over it now.

Just a warning,.
I missed the previous post about this, but are you sure we aren't related?? I could have posted the same paragraph with some details switched around. I get it. As I have gotten older, family drama/nonsense seems less important, but holidays are holidays and can make things feel more pronounced. But I bet your holidays (like mine) are much more peaceful than holidays of old!
Glad you shared--and so glad you have a great network of listeners here (volunteering myself, as well). Good for you for being YOU, and not the scripted role from "As the World Turns: Family Dysfunction" that we often get handed to us in childhood.
Ok--enough of that--please resume regularly scheduled program of Dis planning!

haha, yes! I just finished reading through the new DFB ebook and stuff and updated my cheat sheet! Good catch!

So, here is my updated cheat sheet. I updated some of the snack/drink stuff, added DS places I'm interested in, and my flight info. I split it into 2 tables in Word. My plan is to print them out and laminate them back to back, so it's double-sided:

#OperationLose10Pounds has been engaged! So I finally got back to lifting at the gym tonight, woot! I'd been slacking off on it the past month or two and had been focusing on running. I can already feel the soreness all over my body, lol. Will be more sore tomorrow, and even more so the next day, cause I always get it delayed, lolz. But it's a good sore! Also got back on track with my food logging on MyFitnessPal, woot! It might not be 10 lbs by the trip, but there will definitely be a loss!

Good for you! It's hard to read the food and snack options without getting hungry, but I am inspired! #OL10LB engaged! (Couldn't resist--nothing on Dis boards can be without an acronym that makes us all say "wha????" at least once).

I actually prefer to watch the 3 o'clock parade from Liberty Square. We always set up shop beside the Christmas Shop, and we've never had to get there more than 30 minutes ahead of time. Usually we grab a snack and find places to sit right behind the parade ropes. You get to see the floats really close up from that area too since the street gets pretty narrow there. I've always gotten character interaction there too, from the characters walking around during their sections of the parade. That's just my personal preference though.

Excellent idea--I have only watched from here once caught in a "parade people avalanche", not realizing a parade had started and being trapped in Liberty Square but you are right, you get really close there!

 

[PlutosUnDr8d]

OK, another question tonight. I thought I recalled reading that there were fast pass kiosks in the MK at city hall right when you come in. I also thought I recalled reading that those were open early for people with PPOs. However, they are not on the MK map of fast pass kiosks. Do they just not mark all the kiosks? Trying to figure out where to stop and take care of my SDFP as my counterclockwise "route" through Fantasyland doesn't take me near one until almost lunch time, at which time all the good stuff might be gone, LOL!

hmmm--I wonder if they mean at the Firehouse where you get your SOTMK cards? Maybe they were mistaken for a kiosk? It would be great if they also serve as kiosks. . .

Soooooooo tempting...think it would work for just two adults??

It probably would if you modified the reservation after grabbing it for 3. Let me know if you still want it.

 

[LBlovesM&WDW]

@SilSprBea I also watch the parade in Liberty Square. I'm the crazy adult who plops her butt right behind the line, often before they even put up the rope (usually about 30 minutes before). I normally sit on the opposite side of the Christmas store and get a great view when the floats round the corner.

 

[LBlovesM&WDW]

I just have to say Tink is so close to hitting the wall in my ticker and I couldn't be happier, smash it girlfriend! I started at 476 days and now I'm at 29 and MBs are on their way!!!

 

[DisneyBelle27]

I absolutely love this! Would definitely start one up for myself! I just have too many aDRs so I might do a small daily thing

haha, yeah, would def be a tight squeeze with a lot of ADRs!

Can never have too much laminating! Lol. I miss working in education because I had easy access to a giant laminator!

Ooh, that would be interesting

I am lucky in that I do actually enjoy running, and lifting, and Zumba. But let me tell you, a good chunk of the reason I workout as much as I do is so I can still eat all the yummy things! And how could I have forgotten about making it into an overly long, rather confusing acronym?! It's DIS tradition!

Can't do it... I looked up the price and I just can't spend $100 on breakfast for two...we have no princess loving kiddos in our group to justify that cost. Besides, all DD REALLY wants for breakfast is a sleepy hallow waffle. Thanks anyway.

 

[BDFmom]

what am I doing wrong??

Created entirely separate MDE. Added 3 new family with FN+MN as the name. Bought MVMCP on that account and linked to 3 new family members.

Now it's 30 days until 12/4, and when I log in it tells me that.... but when I try to make FP it says I don't have tickets.

HELP!!

Thank you... thank you for reminding me!!


I picked up Tink 3:30-4:30
Buzz 4:30-5:30
Space mountainf 5:30-6:30

Now I just have to decide if I'm going to create 3 more phantoms for my unlinked MB or just link them to these profiles.

Got my email that our magic bands have shipped! Woohoo!!!

Also, we got our Christmas light Mickey ears from ebay yesterday! They are so stinkin cute!

We got these ones:

(And finagled a deal so they were $10 less than they are selling at Disney Store right now!)

You go girl!! Wednesday night was my first Zumba class back after a week off, and I was SO sore yesterday. Tomorrow morning is my 90 minute Zumba class and I'm ready to crush it!! (Especially after eating leftover candy and cupcakes this week!)

Thank you! It sounds like watching from liberty square is a good plan. I've put that as my parade viewing location on my spreadsheet!

Okay, got my baseline this morning for #OL10LB. If I drop 7 I'll be in a new "decade", so I think that'll be my goal since I only have 3 weeks in which to accomplish this. With Thanksgiving in there, too, I guess I have more like 2 1/2 weeks! lol

I need a translation... new decade? where do you get a baseline. The rest I got!

Ha ha, I call them decades too! I've been stuck a pound away from the half decade for weeks--losing after 40 is not easy!

If she's at say 147, her next decade would be 140 or better yet 139.

 

[Iowamomof4]

I weighed myself (that's what I meant by baseline = starting point) and I'm one hundred (something-ty) seven pounds, so if I lose 7 pounds I'll be into a new decade (pretend I was 137, so if I dropped 8 I'd be 129 - okay I guess that means I need to lose 8, but you get the point).
