I would stay at the contemporary. I love reading about everyone elses choices and why. AKL does sound pretty amazing too.
I love so many rides. Splash mountain, peter pan, and Space mountains are probably my favorites.
. Take each day one at a time, try to make small changes instead of doing too much at one time and getting overwhelmed.

. You're right the frozen ones in the store isn't too bad and we eat those now but trying to think of other ways to save some $$ here and there. I'm going to hit our farmer markets this year too for those fruits too.Good morning, everyone. Can't believe we're starting our 3rd week of this group--so cool!
I am happy to report that I am down 3 pounds for this past week--I was down 4 but had a day and a half of travel and too many bad choices... am definitely looking forward to the steps of this week helping me with the inspiration to get through the bad choices
QOTD - Forgive me while I share one of my passions with you... sorry if I go on too long with this one...
We definitely garden... Our ground here is icky - so we do it all in raised 'beds'--actually we use tires (which we get free from the local tire store). This year we are also using the tires to build some wind walls to help protect the garden from wind and bunnies and prairie dogs. To save water and make it easier on us we try to do it with drip irrigation as well (which is my job here...)
We plant enough to eat during the summer, to share with anyone who needs it and to preserve (dehydrate or pressure can or store in a cool dark place).
Last year was our first year here so we went with a 'small' garden--onions, potatoes (3 kinds), tomatoes (3 different kinds), dry beans (hutterite), and butternut squash. Oh - and we have a strawberry patch which didn't give much last year - but looks promising for this year. We also had rhubarb that didn't do well and raspberry that didn't give us anything.
This year - oh the list is long... we can't plant outside til end of May - so this weekend we are starting some plants inside...
For the 'orchard' so far we have planted (this year) 2 peach trees, 1 mulberry and 4 apples. And we also put in 3 new raspberry canes - and we are trying 2 blueberry bushes too (but those have to be in pots)
For the garden we already have onions, garlic and egyptian walking onions (a perrenial that I'm excited about). We will plant - potatoes (2 varieties), tomatoes (probably 4-5 varieties), zucchini, corn, beans (some green bean types and several dry beans), pumpkins (I got the cinderella variety--quite excited about that one), peas, spinach and lettuces (which will go in this week with some covers). I know there's more - but those are the ones that come to mind right now.
If any of you want help with getting any kind of garden started... I am MORE than happy to help you feel the joy of watching that miracle that happens when you put a seed in the ground and then it starts to grow and then actually gives you food before it's all over... way fun!!!
Good luck with your food choices today - and with getting in those steps--I'll be outside getting the garden ready to have plants--reconfiguing the drip lines and hopefully this weekend we'll start putting up our greenhouse!
Thanks for sharing your gardening story, loved hearing all about it. I may be asking you some questions before too long. I need to work on my list of things that I would like to add so that we can get with FIL and BIL on how large we need to make it this year.Hey there, congrats to all who have lost this week-I have a lot to catch up on post wise, that will have to wait. I saw a couple of quotd's on this page today-- I'll fashion them to Disneyland since that's the only place we go. My favorite ride is definitely space mountain and if I could stay anywhere at no cost, it'd probably be the Grand Californian--location, location location + magic mornings.
Well, I was down to 150 Tuesday, which made me happy but I knew our annual steward summit was going to crash that number real soon-- wasn't even going to try to fight it as the steward summit (union) is legendary in the level of debauchery. Turns out this was a record year for me...the lady I was supposed to drive up with decided to visit her daughter in Texas this year so I was by myself, so I decided to hit Burgerville both on the way up and back, but only had the small cheeseburger, rosemary fries and a diet coke both times. My usual would be the Tillamook bacon cheeseburger with a fry and shake so I did good considering.
Did pretty good at dinner had one plate that included salmon, some kind of beef in gravy, garlic mashed potatoes, some baked squash etc. It is a free buffet meal so in this I did well and didn't have cake. This is when the trouble started. You get 2 drink tickets. I had a rum and coke, then a glass of wine after dinner. Then someone gave me another drink ticket. Then someone else gave me one, this went on until I collected about 10 drink tickets...well... kind of wished I had had a piece of cake, 'cause somewhat later in the evening after I had passed out fully clothed on the bed I woke up to eliminate everything about 6 times in the trashcan next to the bed. Well mostly hit the can anyway. Stumbled out of bed to the breakfast before meetings from 7--8 am and had some black coffee, orange juice and a big plate of fruit which I ate very carefully. I was still pretty woozy.
You have to understand I'm 40 and haven't been that plastered since I was in Junior Highschool. I have Never had a hangover.
I had recovered enough by lunch to attack with gusto a big plate of salad with just a little dressing, a taco with mostly refired beans, some burger filling and a little cheese and some kind of enchillada that I mostly just ate the shell of mmmm. I did have a churro too lol. Considering every meal was the most excellent quality of food in a buffet style-- I did very well. They had the most wonderful cookies in the world as a snack after lunch and decided to just take home a bunch to my husband and filled my cooler with them-- I did have one when I got home. Wish I hadn't but it was too good.
I did weigh myself this morning and was up a pound to 151--kind of surprised me really that it wasn't more. Anyway I am definitely back to the grind-- but with Easter and my birthday both coming up-- going to be a tough week next week.
. You can make it through this week by making really good choices when you aren't doing your thing for Easter and your birthday. All other meals, really concentrate on your portions and types of food you are eating. Remember to get lots of water in too. You can do it!!!
Sorry about your overindulgence. It's so fun but the payback isn't worth it as we get older. Hang in there this week, celebrate for easter and your birthday, and stay on track the other days, and you'll be fine. 
I too know the call of those cheetos!! For a quick snack I like to have plain rice cakes with a little all natural peanut butter on top and a sprinkling of splenda

That is the stuff family legends are made of . . .
