Hi Everyone! :wave2:

My name is Beckie. This is my first Disney Dining Review! I have always wanted to do one, I hope I don't let you down!

The countdown is on...we leave on November 29th! 6 more days! We can't wait. We are all best friends, leaving the kids and husbands at home...girls trip! We will only be there for 4 days, but it is going to be a blast. We are staying at Pop Century.

Here is some info about us:

I am the trip planner, Disney obsessed one. I have been to Disney 12 times, and plan on buying DVC soon with my husband. We will be going to Bay Lake in January together and cannot wait. We have a 2 year old daughter who we will take in a couple years...we don't think she cold handle the plane quite yet...sitting still is not her best skill! I am a total foodie, I especially love dining in WDW. Here I am!

This is my friend Robin...she has been to Disney twice, once with me. She is an addict already! She has twin baby girls who turn 1 next month. She loves food as much as I do, haha! Here we are a few years ago, before we had children:

And last, but not least, we have Emily! She has been to Disney once and only to a couple of the parks, she has never stayed on site before. She has three children. She isn't quite as obsessed with food as Robin and I are! :rotfl2: This isn't a great picture of us, but it is all I have...it from before the 5K we ran on Thanksgiving:

A little more about us...we all have each lost exactly 54lbs! We just happen to be at the same number, it has taken some of us longer but we all got here! We all use My Fitness Pal and take group fitness classes together...Zumba, Strength Training, Yoga and Pilates. So we see each other 3-4 days a week there alone. We ran our first 5K on Thanksgiving and we all did way better than we thought. It was a big accomplishment for us. In a day or two I will post our before and after photos just for something to do before our vacation starts!

I hope you will stay tuned for our reviews! I can't wait! We will be eating at Kona, Prime Time Cafe, Les Chefs De France...and more. Thanks for reading so far!
 

Congrats on completing the marathon! I hope to do a marathon one day. Can't wait to read your reviews:cool1:
 
Thanks! I think we will stick to 5K's for a while though, full marathons scare me! :rotfl2:

Here are some before and after photos of us! Emily was smart and took progress pictures.

Thanks for following our story and soon our reviews!! 4 more days...not that we're counting!
 
Awesome! Congrats to all of you for your weight loss! I'm also in the process and running a 5K is a dream of mine. Hope you have a great trip! :)
 
Congrats on your individual accomplishments! Very inspiring and what a great way to treat yourselves by taking a girls only Disney trip! :)
 
Wow! You are inspirational! I really have been wanting to lose weight, I just never seem to be able to stick with a plan :-/ GREAT job!!
I'm so in for your review!
 
WOW well done to the three of you on your weight loss! You all look amazing! Looking forward to reading your reviews, have a safe trip :goodvibes

Thanks! You can totally do it...you will surprise yourself with how well you can do I am sure! Running isn't the easiest but it is very rewarding!

Thanks! I think it's a pretty good way to celebrate, too! Plus we all agree we could use a break!!

I'm so in for your review!

It's really hard to do...changing habits is difficult! For us, we ended up finding exercise that we LOVED and I think that is the key or else you won't stick with it! We love using My Fitness Pal.

You look fantastic, awesome job!! Have an excellent trip!

Thank you!!

WOW well done to the three of you on your weight loss! You all look amazing! Looking forward to reading your reviews, have a safe trip :goodvibes

Thank you! I can't wait to write the reviews!

I'm currently battling a sinus infection...glad it is here now so it has time to go away by Thursday! I refuse to be sick on vacation :)
 
Congrats on your loss! You guys look great! I can't wait to read your reviews and see all your photos. I totally feel your pain with the sinus infection. We leave in 13 days and I know I should be fine by then, but I'm panicking that mine wont be gone in time!
 
Count me in! Congrats to all of you. You should be so proud...it's such an accomplishment.
 
Congrats on the 5k! I'm sure you'll be increasing your distance in the future. DH and I started with a 5k goal and now we're huge fans of half marathons. My advice is to stay away from Disney races as long as you can... they're very addicting!

Thanks! I am sorry you are sick, too...this is a bad strain! I won't feel 100% by Thursday but definitely getting better!

Count me in! Congrats to all of you. You should be so proud...it's such an accomplishment.

Thank you! 2 more days and the pictures begin!!

Thank you! Half marathons, that is awesome! I really hope to get there someday. We have friends who do the Disney marathons...are they only full or do the have halfs?
 
Yep, Disney races are half marathons mostly. The only full they do is in January.

My dad grew up in Portsmouth by the way. We love that area!

Well, then maybe I just might have to work harder and do a half marathon because that would be FUN!

Portsmouth is awesome, we love it, too!!
 
Yay you are finally in Disney. Look forward to your reviews. We will be there Monday. Take lots of pics! :goodvibes You all look fantastic!!:woohoo:
 
Can't wait to hear your reviews!

Congrats on your weight loss! As someone who has been on a similar journey, I'm interested in your thoughts on Disney dining. I've been wondering how anyone stays on track with all that yummy looking food there!
