A trip to WDW w/NO kids? Hubba Hubba! Wink Wink! UPDATE: EXTRA, EXTRA!!! Pg 158

[Disneydad99]

It's lunch time! Do the lunch time dance! ooh ooh come here banana, I'm going to eat you! LOL

I guess I'm a little loopy considering I'm 5 hours away from leaving on my weekend getaway!

I promised pictures...when I get back. So I'll def. have them. But guess what?

....






....






.......



I have one for you now, too! I took a few minutes last night after I posted to upload a couple more things to photobucket so that I'd have something to share today! I'm so sneaky!

And finally I have another Disney pic for all of you to lay eyes on. Last year, we stayed at the ASMu resort, and on our laid back night there was a guy doing caricatures!! I really wanted to have one done. My sister got one, and so did her friend who was with us. They were just so cute! I had to put my name on the list. As I waited I had to decide whether I wanted color or not--and color costs more. Well, I not only decided I wanted color, I decided I wanted Mike in the picture too! He was reluctant, but after watching the artist work for a little bit, he said he was in. This thing cost WAY too much, but at least we will have it as a unique souvenir from our trip.

So...without further adieu....Ladies and Gentlemen....I present....

Mike and Cheri cartoon style!

We told the artist to be creative, we just wanted something cute. I prefer letting the artist decide in these situations. We could tell he REALLY enjoyed doing this one. We got to talk to him throughout the session, and he was a really cool guy. Incidentally, I can't think of his name right now but it will probably come to me.

So, who can tell what's going on in this picture? A special prize goes to the first correct answer!

Also do you think it looks like me, because I don't. Mike's is definitely head-on.

I love this Pic...what a fun time that must have been!!!!! I had a charcature done along tiome ago!! it was fun!!!

Ok, I saw a link to your pre-trippie on DisneyDad's thread! Now I just spent the past 45 minutes catching up

See I am a good Pimp...Yes I am !!!!

You are to Funny sharky.....speaking of hitting the Hay

 

[Trentmom]

You are to Funny sharky.....speaking of hitting the Hay

Thank You, I aim to pleae

Are you going to bed??? Disneymom need you/????

 

[MissMichelle]

Where oh where is Cherbear? Oh where oh where could she beeeee???

LOL I KNOW, probably over on DD's thread! I am here wanting to hear about your weekend and see if you have any updates--AFTER ALL--times a tickin!

haha, it's just good to have you back

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

Followed you over here from another post as I am allmost caught up on all the TR that I am reading, yours is good so far, I think I am on page 6. I saw that you love Chip and Dale, they have a thing for my wife. I am also saving change for Disney one day, I want to be able to pay off Disney with change that would be an awesome story. Right now we are at about $340 dollars, that is just the silver that I count, I keep the pennies seperate, they are used for dinners around town, I think that jar is up to 45 dollars.


Back to reading maybe I can catch up before the day is over.

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

I can't believe I just read the whole thing, Good job, the stories are great, and I am along for the ride.

"I'm too excited to sleep"

Me and DW say this all the time, we both said it too each other the same time the night before we left to go on our honeymoon last year. It always makes us laugh.

Keep up the good work, can't wait to read more.

 

[cherbear]

Hey everyone! I'm back! Wow, lots to catch up on! Here goes!...

My poor DH has to do al his own packing!!! ALL the time. Even when he's going in the hospital. Of course on those unexpected times he gets admitted, I will get his stuff, but he usually has a small bag packed just in case.
What's going on ?? HMMMMM? I can see you've put him in Jail.

You are correct! Ding,ding,ding!
You get...
a bag of Szechwan BBQ Pringles Select! Because they are so so yummy! And I'm really weird!

Hmm....that picture looks a little kinky! I think you really asked for it that way. Yup, that's what me thinks!

LOL Believe it or not, neither of us knew what he was going to do and we didn't give any inkling of what we wanted. I guess the artist was...ahem....deprived lately?

You're torturing him??? with a tazer gun and a whip????

Well, close. I'm a police officer and he's in jail. But yes, that is a tazer gun. And the other thing is actually a nightstick. (hmm...I need to get my mind out of the gutter....lol)

Great Pic!!!

It looks like you are a police officer and you put Mike behind bars!!!

AWESOME

Thanks for sharing...

Yuppers! you're welcome. Glad to share it!

Ok, I saw a link to your pre-trippie on DisneyDad's thread! Now I just spent the past 45 minutes catching up

1. Your stories of your Grandma and Grandpa had me

2. I pack everything for my DH...half the time he never even looks to see what I packed...HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE

3. People always think I'm really young too! I'm 31 and still get carded a lot!

4. We are big fans of the Sci Fi...we have to eat there each visit
I look forward to hearing all about your plans and reading the trippie once you are back

Thanks for coming! Wow it took you 45 minutes?! You MUST have read EVERYTHING. I'm so humbled!
1. I'm glad my grandpa and grandma stories had you
2. Mine does the same thing! Also I told him I had packed ONE of his swimsuits and if he wanted the other he could put it in his bag himself. (I half packed for him because I was really busy...had to do my toes! Very important stuff!)
3. glad to know I'm not alone
4. I'm glad I'm getting some positive stuff about Sci Fi, I mean I've read both but I'm going to try to make it the best experience possible no matter what happens.

well...stick around! I am going to try to think of some more interesting stuff. I know DISers have a short attention span.

Posting to subscribe.....your stories about your grandparents had me laughing so hard. Good thing I was the only one in the office!

Have a great weekend trip!

Hi! Welcome to you! So glad you enjoyed my stories.

Have to cut it off here....replies cont. in next post

 

[cherbear]

Yes, I normally find one good one, then look at the people posting on it and then click on links in their siggie to their pre-trip report and then look for morein their reports, it is a vicious cycle!!!



I am on this one, Leger Happy Birthday Report, Disneydadd99 Trip Report, Goofyluvr Trip Report, WDWheather Mangos Trip Report.

I am on two other....one is done, and the other is at a standstill

I like ones with good banter and lots of jokes like this one and all the other ones I mentioned

Oh gosh I hear ya on the TR cycle. I had to stop because I am already trying to follow too many. As soon as another one ends, I might pick up a new one, but for now I'm sticking with what I've got. (I think.... )
Thanks for saying I have created "good banter" Yay!

Got to hit the hay but wanted you to Know I stopped By...I will comment tommorow...!!!!

Thanks! You're ALWAYS welcome here. By the way, you need to get on SR and do some earning! LOL And that goes for the rest of ya who signed up under me too. hehehehe

I'm having the same delima with the heels. I want to pack a pair of great heels to feel and look nice in but I feel like walking around DTD in them will kill me before we get to Pleasure Island. Oh well, pain is beauty, right?

I'll probably over pack for disney myself. But, we're driving so it doesn't matter. I just have to leave room for goodies that we bring back from Disney.

Hope you have a fun and safe trip to florida!!

I saw that you had bought some news ones. I also bought shoes this weekend...it's an addiction! But hey, $15 is NOT BAD at all! I love catching sales! And they were the LAST ONES, and MY size! (which is rare because I wear a size 5 1/2)
Yes, Pain is beauty. ugh!

I think it looks like you're a police officer and Mike is in jail and you're about to tazer him. am I right!?

very cute picture btw I'm gonna try and talk my DH into doing one since we'll be down there for so long this time.

Yeah you got that exactly right. That would be cool! If you do, take a picture of it with your camera like I did, and post!

Hi and welcome Cher is doing a great job with her trip report! You'll be entertained for sure.

Come check out mine if you like (I'm becoming a shamless plug *****! haha ) Anyways, I'm lagging on the pictures I've promised lately but that's only cause I've been pretty busy lately. Hopefully tonight will be quiet and I can get some updates done. My priorities are just so screwed up! The DIS comes first!!

hahahaha Thanks!!

well, like I said before, I am the poster child for shameless plugs, and there is NOTHING wrong with them.

I love this Pic...what a fun time that must have been!!!!! I had a charcature done along tiome ago!! it was fun!!!

See I am a good Pimp...Yes I am !!!!

I also had one done when I was a little girl, but I guess my Mom got rid of it. I vaguely remember sitting there, and the man asking me what I liked to do. I told him "draw" and he drew me drawing a picture of Mickey mouse. It was cute. I think I was only about 6 years old.

And yes, you're a good trip pip....err...pimp.

Where oh where is Cherbear? Oh where oh where could she beeeee???

LOL I KNOW, probably over on DD's thread! I am here wanting to hear about your weekend and see if you have any updates--AFTER ALL--times a tickin!

haha, it's just good to have you back

I'm here, I'm here! Update coming today!

Wow you sure have a LOT in that jar. I wish I had that much, but then again it's a small container and I don't like to let it get piled up. Time value of money! (I can't help it, I majored in Finance)
If you paid for a trip with just saved-up change, I think you could make the Guinness Book. Good luck!

Hope you can catch up! Here's something to help you along. Oh, sorry, I did eat a few kernels. Glad to have you here!

 

[cherbear]

I can't believe I just read the whole thing, Good job, the stories are great, and I am along for the ride.

Keep up the good work, can't wait to read more.

Somehow I thought I included this one...but anywho...

I am sure I will say that before EVERY single trip.

Glad you caught up!!

Oh my gosh I'm over 200 posts, and have 2000 views! (that's a lot for lil' ole me)

[ShooshBrat]

Hi Cher!!! Followed U over from Michelle's thread....MUST say HIYA!!!!

Okay....so admitedly, I am more of a lurker than a poster, until recently, yet I STILL don't manage to get around to posting after reading for hours and hours on end!

I have YET to post on Dads, leroys or Cher's Now, I've OFFICIALLY posted/subscribed instead of just LURKING!(there are more, just can't think) threads....which I go back and read, each time you all post on Michelles...it's so easy to "Click" and I'm at a new thread!!!........then I get all confused....."who's thread am I on again?"....DANG!!! Who's thread did I leave off of to find this one"......"Oh Look! That person has a link too, and they're going at the same time we are toooooo"........I get SOoooooo confuzzled, I don't know what to do!!!!"

Tell me how you all keep it together??????

BTW...My goal tonight, is to post this on each of your threads, so I'm ATLEAST subscribed....may make it easier to keep up with ya!!!

Oh yeah!!! Also!!! I EVIDENTLY don't get around these boards ENOUGH....though I CONSIDERED myself a JUNKIE before......I'm obviously SOMEWHERE out in left field.......I had NO CLUE what a LGMHPC was!!!!! Now, I have yet ANOTHER obsession to handle...Gggggrreeeeeaaaatttt!!! Planning a MISSION to Home Depot TOMORROW!!!

The next question.....can I manage to make our ENTIRE party wear the LGMHPCs? Or just plaster them all over the stroller and myself!!! hehehehe

PLEASE tell me you will all have them SOMEWHERE on you too!!!!

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

Well the change has been saved for about 2 years since I was in college. I thought about cashing it in thinking that it was not making any money and could be making interest in a savings account. But then again, If a year comes up and I dont want to spend money on Disney then we can say hey, Lets use the change jar, and go for "free" sorta.

And thanks for eating some of the popcorn out of the bucket I get in trouble if I eat the whole bag, trying to drop a few pounds so I can gain them back on the free dining.

That's a long time saving change! LOL you're welcome. It's funny you said that...just wait til you see what my next post is about! I'm going to finish typing it up now.

 

[cherbear]

I must apologize for not providing an update in a timely manner. But I will preempt this by saying that I have a LOT to say today! Ok, enough of me trying to sound all smart and stuff. On with the show. LOL

So…..we STILL have not booked a flight. And when I looked last week, the main one I wanted to grab was $150.00 round trip, and I told Mike about it. He says he’s still not ready to purchase the flight. I am trusting him, because he got a great deal on our Hawaii flight and he did wait that one out---however, just remember that we had a 6 hour layover in Atlanta (then got delayed). I don’t see anything listed with that much of a layover, and we aren’t flying THAT far, so I don’t think that situation can happen again.
I checked again yesterday, and the same flight that was $150.00 is now back to $190.00! I told him that, and he said it will come back down within the next 2 weeks. He does not seem worried at all.
Here’s the list of the roundtrip flights that are available that I would consider (some I would only consider if the price came down). There will be some duplication in the individual departure and return flights but I’m grouping the flights as roundtrip flights along with their prices, and a little note.

DEPARTURE: 3:30 PM -- Arrives at 6:25 PM (Delta direct flight)
RETURN: 2:10 PM --Arrives at 3:05 PM * I really don’t want to leave WDW that early, but if this ends up our only option I will take it.
$140.00 Round trip

DEPARTURE: 9:55 AM – Arrives at 12:50 PM (Delta direct flight)
RETURN: 2:10 PM – Arrives at 3:05 PM *I don’t mind leaving at this time if we end up getting there by 1 PM on our arrival day.
$180.00 Round trip (This one actually just came DOWN in price compared to what it was)

DEPARTURE: 3:30 PM – Arrives at 6:25 PM (Delta direct flight)
RETURN: 7:50 PM – Arrives at 11:02 PM (layover in Atlanta) *I LOVE this because we’d get maximum time on our last day, however, the only issue (besides the layover) with this one is that Mike has to work at 5 AM the next morning. If I have to book this one since he is being a dork and wants to wait, well so be it. LOL
$151.00 Round trip

Here’s the one that WAS $150.00 and now is $190.00
DEPARTURE: 3:30 PM – Arrives at 6:25 PM (Delta direct flight)
RETURN: 5:33 PM – Arrives at 8:40 PM (layover in Atlanta) * The reason I wanted this is because we’d get a lot of time on our departure day, and we’d still get home in time for Mike to get a decent sleep (if there’s no delay). He told me he would not mind getting home around this time.

I also noticed that there are plenty of seats left on all of these flights. (Used Travelocity to view seats)

So…my loyal readers…what would YOU do? I really need your opinions. Would you wait just a BIT longer? Would you convince Mike to snag one now? Please help.

Because I only have…


39 DAYS!!! Holy cow I’m in the 30’s!!!!

Which means….I have 39 days to get a flight booked, get tan, and lose 10 pounds. Yes, I said it people, I am going to try to lose 10 pounds before my trip. I AT LEAST need to get my self all toned up again. I have let myself go. I can’t let Chip and Dale see me like this! Mike and I both started to get back to the gym last month, and we were doing good----for about a week and a half. I just don’t know what it is that makes me so lazy sometimes! I used to work out 3 hours a day at least 5 times a week. I was a workin-out fool! That was the old days when I was in college and worked about 20 hours a week. And believe it or not, I was NEVER truly happy with my body—it was just never enough. I look back now and think, “I wish I looked like I did then!”

Now, the reason I say this is because I need some motivation from all of you. Mike keeps buying sweets and chips even when we are “dieting” and it kills me to have that stuff in the house. We have to go grocery shopping tonight, and I have started a low carb grocery list. Low carb is the way I like to go when dieting---not Atkins—just my own version of a low carb diet. Way back when, when I started exercising and dieting, I lowered my carb intake and NEVER once did any of the “book diets” out there. And I lost 20 pounds after high school within a year. I did it slowly, and have kept it off since then. I was also doing weights so at the same time I was losing fat I was gaining muscle---which could explain why it took me a year to lose 20 pounds when I was working out 5 days a week.
Anywho, I told Mike that Once and for all, I must go on a strict diet (When I say strict, I mean for MORE than a WEEK) and exercise, and I want to lose 10 pounds by September 15th, which is when we leave for WDW. I have much more motivation now that I’m writing a TR and I know I’ll have to take LOTS of pictures—and I want to look good in those pictures. I doubt we’ll make it to the gym tonight, since I have to go to the chiroquacker after work and then grocery shopping. I would love to fake bake tonight but that will probably have to wait until tomorrow. (I don’t want to blind anyone either)

If anyone has suggestions on tasty low carb foods, please feel free to speak up and I’ll add it to my list.

Here’s what I have so far:

Wheat bread
Lots of fruit and veggies
Low carb Oatmeal
Wheat pancakes
Fiber one breakfast bars
Flat out wraps (I love these things)
Deli turkey
American cheese
Turkey bacon
Pickles
Wheat crackers
Cream cheese
Tuna, tuna, and more tuna
String cheese
Peanut butter (for celery)
Beef jerky
Sugar free popsicles

Like I said, I’m not real strict, and I’ll eat lots of fruits which are GOOD sugars. I’m trying to stay away from desserts, but I’ll let myself cheat maybe once a week. I don’t want to starve myself from things I love completely, or else I will end up giving up.

Quick change of topic:
I’m so excited! I’m going to get to my goal of $50.00 more on SR! I am back up to $18.00 now, and on my History it actually says that my pending Blockbuster will finally credit on August 15th! 26 more credits…YAY!! I can’t wait to cash out for my new Disney gift card!

Whew, what a long post! Well………YOU asked for it.

Thanks for the update!!

I would proably got for the 151.00 like you said..even though you geti n late your first night, you still have a lot of time to play in the parks on your last day!!

Sorry Mike...guess you will jus thave to live with little to no sleep..

WTG with SR!!!

I got 20 dollars in disney dollars before our last trip

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

Two things,

Have you checked different airlines I dont know if southwest or airtran fly out of your airport, we have done both last year was southwest, 92 dollars one way nonstop. This year we got Airtran for 69 dollars each way non stop, Last year worked out good no delays, hopefully this year will be the same.

The food thing, I have been losing some weight by not eating as much junk food, DW and I maybe get one junk food item a week if that. We have traded in our snacks for more fruits and veggies. We also have been cutting down on how much of an item we eat. We usually cook good healthy items, but we used to think we had to eat everything we made, because it was not enough to save for another meal. We now eat a regular portion and then if it is just a little bit left, still save it for lunchs during the week. That seems to help.

But I do have to admit I always try and get junk food when at the store with DW, but she gives me the look and I know I dont need it. I love that girl. She is keeping me healthy. And I cant argue with that.

 

[betsywdw]

I would go for the 151.00 too! If you're DH is anything like mine, he will stick to his guns about not booking the flight yet! We did that for our October trip and ended up getting the flights for 120.00 round trip thru AirTran.

As for the diet! I could not agree more! I used to go to aerobics twice a day and really watched what I would eat back in college. But I was NEVER happy with my body. Now, I look back and think I should have enjoyed it because I have let myself go a little. Not enough that I can't get back to what it was before but I will have to do some work! Ahhh, the fun of dieting! Your list looks good. We'll be here to cheer you on for your goal

 

[Goofyluver]

I would do $151 as well. Sounds like the best deal and times!!!

AND...don't stress! You're going to be walkin' and sweatin' a lot in the world! I don't DO low carb...as it makes me cranky. I do low-fat...low-cal. Works for me!

BUT...you are gorgeous chica! Don't stress!

This year we got Airtran for 69 dollars each way non stop, Last year worked out good no delays, hopefully this year will be the same.

Yes, they both fly out of New Orleans. Southwest would be $99 each way plus tax. Also I just check on Airtran (thanks for the suggestion) but the latest return flight at $59 (plus tax) leaves at 8 AM...

I should have also pointed out that the prices I listed are including all taxes and fees...so $151 really isn't bad

The food thing, I have been losing some weight by not eating as much junk food, DW and I maybe get one junk food item a week if that. We have traded in our snacks for more fruits and veggies.

Sounds like you are doing really well. I give my husband the same look! It doesn't work all of the time. We end up coming home with only HALF of what he was trying to get. And he gets mad at me---and I say "do you see all this junk food in the cart? I think you have enough" and he says "yeah, you're RIGHT" ---> now THOSE are the 3 words a woman loves to hear. LOL

I would go for the 151.00 too! If you're DH is anything like mine, he will stick to his guns about not booking the flight yet! We did that for our October trip and ended up getting the flights for 120.00 round trip thru AirTran.

How close to the trip did you book the flight? Wait a sec...did you mean THIS October coming up? Mine is in September. That's why I'm a little nervous.

As for the diet! I could not agree more! I used to go to aerobics twice a day and really watched what I would eat back in college. But I was NEVER happy with my body. Now, I look back and think I should have enjoyed it because I have let myself go a little. Not enough that I can't get back to what it was before but I will have to do some work! Ahhh, the fun of dieting! Your list looks good. We'll be here to cheer you on for your goal

I hear ya! I know I can make it to where I was before. I flucutate in weight but I really only gained about 2 pounds from when I was at my BEST---however, I'm sure I put on a lot of fat and lost some muscle mass.
Thanks for cheering me on!

I would do $151 as well. Sounds like the best deal and times!!!

AND...don't stress! You're going to be walkin' and sweatin' a lot in the world! I don't DO low carb...as it makes me cranky. I do low-fat...low-cal. Works for me!

BUT...you are gorgeous chica! Don't stress!

Ok it's lookin' like everyone likes the $151.00 flight. I'm going to show Mike what everyone is saying (if he'll actually read it).

Come to think of it I did lose 5 pounds last trip----but we only had 1 sit down meal. I, however, did eat ALL Counter service, and none of it was good for me. But I walked so much that it didn't seem to matter!

The other girls I work with do low-fat, low-cal. It just depends on what works for ya, and low carb has always worked for me. I'm not the type that has to have pasta and rice all the time, so it's not too bad for me. But I do miss my potatoes and chips. But there's always something sacrificed in any diet.

You're really too kind. Thanks for the compliment but ya haven't seen me in a bikini!

I will try not to stress....stress makes me eat. LOL

And by the way....I don't sweat....I glow.


Thanks everyone, for all the flight and diet tips and encouragement!

oh yeah....sure did. That's the only bad thing about the $151....the return flight stops in Atlanta. BUT the flight TO Disney would be direct. So who cares if we get delayed on the way home! Mike will just have to call his boss and tell him he's stuck at the airport. Oh well! As long as it doesn't disrupt our trip TO Disney!
