DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[S.Poppins]

Okay, I am starting to feel a little overwhelmed today. I should not even be on the boards today - but an addiction is hard to break. We leave Friday night for Disney Before then I have 3 big projects, and 3 small projects due in my grad class. I have youth prayer at my house tomorrow night, and church Wed. night and of course I work everyday but Friday. Friday I am hoping to turn in projects, pack and sleep so we can drive all night Friday. I know I will get it all done, but just thinking about it makes me want to take a nap and not wake up until Friday.

UM- Well you could meet me at the airport in NY and we can fly together to fla if you like... Im telling you all I can find a deal if its out there for you. I am actually going to Travel Agent school in Florida sometime this spring. I will help us all get to the mouse. Maybe by time you need to book it will direct

I dont know the calorie count of the magic muffins.

They are 1 point, the same as 2 lifesavers. The high fiber count erases some points. Just put 50?

Misty, I dont know the approximate cost. The airfare is the biggie. We can play with the numbers and guess a little higher. Is your princess going too? We could get 1 room somewhere. I know there wont be free dining so we'll have to budget for meals as cheap as possible. I can wait to do the Cinderella Royal Table for when there's free dining. I have to do alot of homework to determine the cost of a room at a value resort saving car rental fees. And off site with car rental. I'm most comfortable with on site because it's so easy to get lost there.

Where are you guys booking? Pop? That's where I'd like to go.The 80's section??? A grand gathering sounds great! I like perks. Uggg, we have to save BIG money before then.

My lil princess may be but not sure i don't know if i want her to miss school . but then again this is me and i say heck ya... we totally could do one room if it is just us girls,, and dinning won't be as bad because it will be us gals (my boys are the big eaters. i am (kinda) leaving it up to you because you have been and i have no idea where to start. but i will check out some stuff (i'll have lonnie check out some stuff.... )on site works for me to from what i have seen it is huge and i would rather not get lost
Just let me know what ya want me to look up and i can.

and do know that Chinese food is full of soy, ie SALT - so you must MUST drink twice as much water!! and expect a weight gain tomorrow of 3#!! YES THREE pounds after one meal - but there's a lot of water in that weight, so grab a lemon squeeze in warm water, and drink to help flush that sodium out of you system... and answer me this...

Do you plan on giving up Chinese food for life? Then think portion control, and damage control. Damage control is drinking water, and lift those weights, do those crunches, stand up, sit down, stand up, sit down... get those lunges working!!!

Eeyore - were you a Drill Sergeant in a former life?

We could just make a big vat of soup and eat off of that...and it would probably produce enough gas for the drive home...

 

[aries1980]

I am Game for the POP I love the POP!!!

I had heard that if we all book in the same place we just need to give a name for our grand gathering... and they'll link us together.. also there is a planner for us to all make arrangements I have it I will email to UM since she created this Thread and see How we can work it.

 

[UtahMama]

I love POP since we toured it last Sept. I loved the 80's but dont care. As long as it's clean and semi-close to the REFILL station! The pools there look so fun! AS long as we take an OATH not to wipp out any cameras during pool time!!!

We have a year to train to walk a 5K. NO problem! I think we should walk like the characters in the parades an wave as we go. I love it!

I just want the t-shirt and the goodie bags! Be thinking of what you want to contribute to those!

And- When do we start the recipe scrapbook circle? I'm ready!!!!

 

[dragonfly18]

I am official now - SEE!!! I have a WISH goal thingy!!!

 

[aries1980]

[spongemommie05]

Way to go !!!

 

[UtahMama]

Aries ONLY...

esyay on the uprisesay

nothing to see here...move along...

 

[eeyore45]

Ooooh! Goodie Bags!!!!

Aries- I didnt think JetBlue flew directly to Florida. I'll check again, though. I COULD fly with Delta buddy Passes for about $180 a piece. But that's risky to try to fly stand by with a toddler diva.

edited to add, JB does go to Orlando but they first stop in NEW YORK! EEEK. I also checked Delta flights as far as how oversold the flights are to see if a buddy pass (stand by ) would be good for this time of year ...nope. They are oversold by at least 2 on allll flights coming and going (I saw one oversold by 21!) It's best to do a direct flight unless it's ridiculously cheaper. I even checked Amtrack...3 days to get there and 3 days to return! Get off train wave in the general direction of Disney and get right back on.

OH UTM - I have an idea!!! You sy the flights are oversold by a lot - well you and Spongiemamma book an overbooked flight, then when you check in you go to the counter and ask if its overbooked, and then tell them you'd be willing to give up your seats if you were compensated...

I am really hoping that I can do the meet. I would love to stay at POP! I haven't stayed there yet and would really like to. I do not know at this point if I will be solo, have DH, DM, or a friend in tow. I will probably want to wait for AP rates to come out. Anyone know when that happens? I can never remember. If I am solo, I could certainly share my room, and with the AP discount, it would be a great deal! I just don't know yet. I will keep you all posted, of course.

So, yesterday was a "cheat day" for me. Sundays always are. I wasn't too terrible considering I was cheating. Today, I am right back on track again.
I'll do the tally after dinner. Sounds like DH is making a Carolina dry rub pork tenderloin and veggies of some sort. Then we are off to puppy class. Jasper (that's my beagle's name) is going to earn her Canine Good Citizen, and this is the first night. We have had a 3-4 week break since she completed levels 1 & 2, and I am nervous about tonight because we have not been doing her training sessions as faithfully as we should have been doing them. Plus, this is the first class where she will actually be tested, and she is a 9-mo-old beagle for crying out loud! Can you say stubborn? OK, well, at least I will be walking and standing and bending over (She is so short! My next dog will be tall!). That will have to be my workout for today.

Keep on slimmin' ladies!

This might be a silly question whats AP mean?

 

[UtahMama]

Annual Pass? Not sure.
AP holders get a discount?
What about AAA. Do AAA members get a good discount?

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Uma, Mousesavers says you get 20% off during value season at value resorts with AAA.

Here is a link with more saving:

[nsalz]

NSalz is giving blood today. Is that cheating ?

I wonder if their are any blood drives around here Friday morning before weigh in... what a great way to lose a quick pound!

I'm going to see if I can make time to get over to the blood drive and give a pint!

Yes...it looks like I lost ten pounds!!!

Annual Pass? Not sure.
AP holders get a discount?
What about AAA. Do AAA members get a good discount?

Yes annual pass holders get a discount and so does AAA....I have done both.
I have found pass holders get a better discount.


I just did 25 minutes on the eliptical and I am exhausted. The exercise thing will take a while to get into. I really thought I would start and be able to do an hour. Maybe by February!

 

[aries1980]

well i will look into it all for you my Peeps... I heard that Grand Gatherings get special discounts but I dont know if that is true or not never had to look iinto it.

Ok ladies I did something today that was very hard for me. My mom had left some wonderful chocolate cake in my fridge over the holidays. It is chocolate cake with cream cheese, Cool Whip frosting, and then chopped candy bars on top. Can you say yum!!!!

Well, I took a taste of one slice. It was still so yummy! Well, I decided I needed to throw this wonderful cake in the trash as not to tempt myself in the future.

Yes ladies, (pick up your jaws ) I threw away perfectly good cake! You don't know how much will power that took. I hated to see it in the trash can, but I would have hated to see it on my thighs even worse!


Lynda - Congrats on getting the puppy to the Good Canine Test. I am still waiting to test my older dog. Actually, she's my youger dog now. My new dog is about a month and a half older than my previous one. Anywhoo, that is a great accomplishment for your dog. Still keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Praying for DH's heart to be melted.

 

[harleygirl]

Okay...I'm caving to the peer pressure...I'M HERE!
Dismom has been telling me how I need to get on here and make friends with everyone because she says you guys are just great!

Other than the Freebie threads, I haven't been checking much on the Disboards lately, so it will take me just a bit to get back in the groove. There is no way I could read this whole thread from the beginning right now - you girls have talke ALOT!!! I started at the end and read backwards through about 10 pages and that is about all I can handle right now...I'm about to pass out and I have to get up and go to work in the morning! But I will get to it and figure out who's who and what's what eventually.

After the two pieces of cake (with lots of goo) I ate today at Dis' birthday party, I need all the support I can get to get back on track! Harley did a much better job of having will power over the cake than I did!!! Glad someone maintained some control!

YAY I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE!!!
