6/13/2009 Western on Magic

[nikkistevej]

We plan on doing the same thing...lots of water parks and Disney Quest and use the rest of the park days when we go back in Oct. We just booked through the Armed Forces Vacation Club a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo that sleeps 8 for $337 with tax for 7 nights!!! Since we will have our car we figured it will be well worth it. It is at the Wyndham and only 6 miles to the Magic Kingdom!!!

Ok sowith all this talk about dresses I just wanted to share my OCD planning...

I have this on a clip board in our closet to plan all of our outfits! Oh I love being organized!

I love your newest chart- I have begun my list as well, and looking through our closets to figure out our outfits.

As if I didn't have enough planning OCD, we are now planning 2 WDW trips this year, one in Sept to celebrate DD's 14th BD (and there's free dining then too - WOOHOO!) And I couldn't resist but to extend in WDW after this cruise for a few days with the kiddos. My DSIS and DBIL are going back right after the cruise, so we are making a stop at the airport, then going on to the Swan and Dolphin for a few days of play!!! So I just renewed my membership with TGM (Tourguide mike) an awesome site for planning a WDW trip! We have been to WDW over 15 times before discovering TGM last year and now I won't plan a trip without him! Its $20 to join but worth every penny to me. We have already done 2 trips last year and now 2 more this year. We plan on doing water parks and Disney quest this summer since we never get to do the water parks when we go in late Nov because its too cold!

I wish we could go again for free dining, but DH will only do Disney once a year- that's why we go for 2 weeks- that's all I can get him to do. I told him Jordan and I can go by ourselves...

Hmm.. that looks interesting! Did you find this on Disney's site?

No not on Disney website; in the new 2009 Disney Cruise Passporter Book.

I think the stone moved down and is stuck now. It is feeling really full (like it did when it blocked my kidney last time). I'm headed to work in an hour. IF it still is hurting in the am, I may just head to the ER for a CT scan before coming home. Heck, I'll already be there!

You poor thing! Been there done that - Lithotripsy her you come. Good Luck! Hey at least it is happening now and not while on the ship or in a differnet port. Get it taken care of now.

HEY HEY My sad self needs to do the weight loss challenge!

I'm in on a weight loss challenge! A couple of pre-cruise pounds will make me feel less guilty about gaining them back on the cruise.

On the clothing chart - WOW! I am not that organized, nor would DD allow me to "plan" her outfits. (your day will come when your daughters, who are beautiful, get older!)

The Armed Forces vacation club sounds amazing; too bad we are not military. The funny thing is that even though we live in Orlando we rarely go to WDW (less than 1x a year!)

WOW - I wish I could get that for me and my family next year so we could all afford to go to WDW.

Stephanie I LOVE it the Outfit Chart

 

[Diane71969]

I'm joining the club and wearing a black dress too! And either I have to lose some weight, or I've got to get some new shorts and capris! Anyone want to do an 8 week challenge with me??? DD already has all her outfits picked out, except she wants to get one more swim suit, a one piece, so when those dolphins launch her out of the water, she doesn't lose anything!

I'm in for the challenge!!!!

Even when they do grow up and I can't pick out their clothes anymore I will still make them fill in the chart!!!

That is funny!! To me it's all about the charts and lists. Stephanie I think you are with me on the vacation planning OCD. Yesterday at work I took all of the packing lists I could find, consolidated them and made an awesome mother load packing list- I made different categories for each leg of the trip, too. When I showed DH, he just laughed at me. It's very satisfying to check off things on there when they're done. I also have a list of things I need to get for the trip.

I had considered shipping my FE gifts and a few other things to the ship, but since I have some candy in the bags, I guess I can't--I just read the guide lines. I was worried I did not have enough, but I have to be careful with so many lgift bags to pack--I have one from us and 1 from my son and his girlfriend.

I too would love to lose a few pounds before the cruise, but the older I get the less motivated I am. I used to be able to refuse chocoalte ( my downfall) and exist on only salads when needed, but I'm having a hard time staying with anything. I even considered some of those things like hydroxycut, etc, just to get of these few pounds, but I don't know if they really work or not.

We have no extra room, so I have to wait to pack. Brandon'd pants are all too short, so we have some shopping to do.

Are we posting pictures on the website?

 

[nikkistevej]

That would be awesome to post pictures on there, also maybe we could put everyone's dining times- so we could arrange all of that too.

 

[BethA]

That's a good idea--it would help so much in getting to know everyone and coordinating things.

 

[Paula13]

There is a web site? I must have missed something?

We (DH & I) have been trying to lose some weight. Isn't working very well. Our weakness is Miller Lite!

 

[nikkistevej]

I know everytime we say we are going to the Ymca to work out- something comes up- I'm trying to watch what I eat too.
