I know what you mean about cutting back on pop (soda in our language )! I drink coke all the time, love the stuff!! But I am on a diet trying to lose a few pounds, so it's not good for the calories. There is always Coke Zero, but as much as they say it tastes the same as regular, it totally doesn't!! Who are they trying to fool??? Anyways, I am doing good. I have cut down to one a week! It is so hard though. I don't know how often I find myself thinking how I would just love an ice cold glass of Coke! Mmmmm.

Good for you! I'm jealous -- 1 a week? I'm hoping to cut myself off slowly. Go from 1 a day to maybe 1 every other day and keep spacing it out. It's the only way I'll be able to do it. I am not kidding when I say I drink a lot of soda. It's so terribly unhealthy and it's gotten to the point where I had a headache if I don't have one before 10AM (that's usually when I'm on my "lunch" break at work).

I want to be healthier, I really do. And I say that and I get a lot of crap from people I know. "But you're not fat" they say. Which is confusing for me because I don't remember saying that I was. I guess I fall into the "thin" category, but that never means healthy automatically.

Question: Does people calling pop "soda" annoy you as much as people calling soda "pop" annoys me? It drives me crazy, lol.

Pop sounds so freaking goofy to me...

Aww! I'm sorry she didn't enjoy it so much. I'm wondering if it was just a L&S (well, not Mickey's Surfs Up or something like that) thing. It's one that I've never done before. Did they have things for the kids to participate in? I know Goofy's Kitchen has little dance sessions and cooking lessons : so to speak. It was fun for us to observe all the kids, but it may be targeted to a younger audience. At GK every character was at our table multiple times. Balloo tried to scare both my friend and I. It worked on me -- I shot out of my chair and came close to letting out a full scream. But it was hilarious. I had so much fun. And that was my actual birthday meal.

Let's see...when we walked in, we met Daisy and Minnie and she posed with them...and that was fine. But when Lilo and Stitch came to our table, I think she felt a little sheepish. But, it was kind of empty in the restaurant, so that may have been part of it.

I think she would have been perfectly happy going to GK if we had done that, but we hate hate hated the food at the Lilo and Stitch breakfast and after paying $70 for it (seriously, I had a mini bagel and a little bit of scrambled eggs. She had a waffle.), we were soured on the concept.

I laugh when people say Soda honestly. Just sounds funny to me. Is it a US/Canada thing? I don't really know, but I think it's kinda funny.

I think I would have a harder time cutting down on Coke if they brought back Vanilla Coke. We had it for a few years here, and I loved the stuff!! But they took it away!! I have no idea why. I know a lot of people that like it.

Honestly, if I wasn't trying to lose 10 pounds, I probably wouldn't have thought twice about cutting back on my Coke intake, I guess that's bad, cause they are in no way healthy for you. Sometimes I just can't help it though. I don't even really like much else for "soda".

 

[Belle Ella]

It's a US/Canada and even a US/US thing depending on where you live. My cousin (who lives in Colorado) gets so mad at us when we say soda, or "hecka" and "hella" which I'm pretty sure the last two are a California thing. It drivers her nuts.

"Pop" though just doesn't give me any kind of image of soda. It makes me think of someone hitting someone (popping them over the head) or some silly cartoonish explosion.

Good luck on the loosing 10 pounds! We've been trying to support both my parents in their efforts (my mom especially because of her diabetes). It's not an easy thing to do!

HA! Take that -- page 104

I'm sure it's a lot harder to enjoy when looking at the $$ aspect when you've got kids. I on;t have to look at the price for little old me. I shudder to think how much more expensive everything gets when you look at the prices for a whole family.

Hopefully if/when you give a character meal another shot (and I'd totally understand if you didn't) it goes a lot better. Just like everything in life they can be hit or miss. I know I didn't exactly enjoy my second round at Minnie's due to everything going on. For the time I spent there that day it was a total bust.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Thank you! I am going to the gym too, so that should help. I have a work out buddy, and it's a lot easier to do this stuff when someone else is doing it too!

People hear say "hella" all the time, not sure where that came from. Don't hear "hecka" as much though.

Yay on 104!!!!

They probably visited us crazy Californians!!

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Ugh! What I wouldn't give to visit California right now! Not that I am complaining about my country, because of course I love it, but around March, when you've already had 6 months of cold and snow, California looks extra appealing! The weather has been teasing us. Last week it was warm and sunny and the snow was almost completely gone. And now it's cold and grey and it looks like the snow is threatening to come back.

So I just learned I get 2 more days off of work for my vacation thanks to over time, we will get 5 FULL days in the parks!!! But I also learned that Gay Days will be going on the first 2 days we are there. I am hoping that won't make it TOO busy!

 

[Belle Ella]

Huh. Well, it looks like the DIS will be getting ticker's of it's own: http://www.distickers.com/ticker/main.php <-- look on the left hand toolbar.

OK, I have to go pick up some new textbooks before Art class today, so I'm off! Don't have too much fun without me

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Sweet! I will wait until they have more Disneyland themed ones though. Right now it's mostly WDW stuff.

Have fun buying books!

We may give GK a shot during our next trip...we're going to stay offsite at the Residence Inn Maingate, and we plan to utilize their free breakfast, make our own lunches and bring those into the park, and then either head back to the room for dinner or possibly eat in the park, so that will help absorb some of the cost. But you're not kidding...our last trip, we paid in the neighborhood of $75 - 100 for every. Single. Meal. It got really old.

Wow weren't you all the chatty group earlier?

Not only a textbook but a stupid Iclicker for taking tests. Fun times. Thankfully, for my wallet, my mommy paid for them. I love my mommy!!!

I really hope that I remember to bring more foods to make lunch with. I'm not a breakfast eater so I can live there and why I have never really minded the fact that the HoJo doesn't have a free breakfast. At least being on the DIS tends to save us a few dollars here and there in the tips that we pick up from others (like if you do go out for breakfast -- utilize Mimi's breakfast coupons!!) but then we also usually end up spending more because was want to try the things that other tried. What a double edged sword.

Don't you know it! I wasn't kidding when I said we're going to get this thread closed before I leave in July.

We'll just turn it into the B.E. Airlines Chatty Thread.

Aw, c'mon it's a great idea!

Yes, but it's a long process. I have a thread that there are like 10 of us that talk on it on a regular basis and it takes a while to do it even with 10 of us.
