DISappearing Peeps...Vol. 3! All are Welcome!

[Sparkie]

Hello my friends!

You know I really should get paid a referral fee and a travel agent commission from Disney. I cant tell you how many trips I have booked or made suggestions on...... I think Disney should honor me with a free trip for all the business I have sent them

Anyway..... Got the trip booked for my mom's friends. It wasnt cheap in comparison to the short time they will be there. They chose to go with the Carribean Beach and a 2 day hopper ticket. So hotel for 3 nights and tickets ended up being 1052 and airfare 620 and scooter rental for 135.

Off site wasnt an option considering grandpa has COPD (chronic obstructive lung disease) and has difficulty walking more than a few feet. They wanted to be able to use magical express to the hotel and have the advantage of the onsite bus service.

I've never stayed at this resort before.... Have any of you???? I've been looking at it online and think I would like to one day....... interested if anyone has had any personal experience that they could share..... good or bad, any tips that I could pass along.

Have a good weekend everybody.

Sparkie,

Our first on site stay was at CBR in 1995. We loved it. By the next trip our family had grown too big for their rooms. The resort is big. They should let the resort know that a member of the party can't walk far so you need a room as close as possible to Old Port Royale (that's where the food court shopping etc. is. It is a completely different building than the check in building. I think that is called the customs house. There is an internal bus that will take you from place to place as well. We finally stayed there again in 2007. Our oldest DD was there with her HS band so was staying at all-star music, so we only needed room for 4! We liked it again this time. Very colorful resort with relaxing atmosphere! I think they will like it!

So far it's 2 down, but that is not my official weigh in until
That 2 pounds was earned, I tell you what!

I'm quoting myself....hahaha!

I'll stick with the -2 because after I visited the Hundred Acre Wood , I ate breakfast and forgot to weigh again.

I have been starved all day! I DID EAT too! A lot!



HockeyKat- I've honestly been there!!! Grab hold of the wagon!

 

[LMO429]

so this week was a complete disaster eating wise! I have been home sick since Monday. Monday I ate well..but tues, wed and thurs were a whole other story...I ate so much chinese food it was out of control. I woke up this morning and I couldnt take it anymore so I worked out for about 30 minutes (it was all I could do considering I was coughing the whole time)

I know it's so easy to full into a binge mood and I am trying to snap out of it asap. I keep thinking about how gross I feel afterwards and How if I had to go out tonight with friends I would feel terrible about myself....it truly is not worth it.

Thanks!!! I am trying. I made it to the gym yesterday and today and have managed to stay at ~1500 cals all week. Hopefully it will stick this time...

Hey, it's still Friday here. I didn't get home until 8:30 (yes, from starting work at 7:30 a.m.). My sis called to tell me Mom had a bladder infection. I left from work to go pick up the antibiotics, then took them to Mom. It's a good thing I had taken my evening protein with me (string cheese) or I think I would have passed out or caved to junk food.

The Nutrisystem is still doing the trick. Down 1.4. I haven't lost consistently for 3 weeks in I don't know how long.

 

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

How exciting! This also got me to wondering when everyone else is going. So tell me! When is the next Disney trip for everyone? Who are you going with? Where are you staying!? I'm going March 1st-9th, with my Mom, Dad, and boyfriend, and we're staying at the Boardwalk!

May 29th-June 11th, 2009, with my husband & 2 children, and we're staying at POP! It's my graduation trip. I graduate 6 months from today.

There were rumors on the board yesterday that Disney was going to have a huge deal at 5pm 11/6. The deal is Stay 4 night get 3 nights free with MYW Base Tickets.

Disney's did not have a good day on wall street yesterday and their park reservations for the upcoming year were extremely low because of the economy so they created this deal to entice people to come to the parks. Right now it's only if you are staying from Jan - June 27th 2009

OMG! That offer would apply to our stay. I need to find out more info.

I'm quoting myself double.

Sorry Wendy! Please forgive me! BTW, I'm a SAMER!

 

[LMO429]

Utah Mama! Im taking a pass this week, there is still 2 much MSG in my body from all the chinese food I ate tues/wed/thur

 

[DisneyLaura]

Good morning!I will be MIA on the board the next week because...
WE LEAVE FOR DISNEY TOMORROW!!!

Have fun and take lots of pictures.

We can do it!! I do okay until about 9PM. Maybe I need to start going to bed earlier!

That's what I do sometimes Kat because otherwise I would eat every cookie in the house.

They chose to go with the Carribean Beach and a 2 day hopper ticket.

I have a friend who stayed there and loved it.

I understand about being homesick after getting married. It gets better. I had to call my mom every night and still do and I have been married for 12 years.



Well peeps I made it through the colonoscopy. I was so scared just lying there waiting, thinking of my DH and kids and praying that I would wake up so I can see there little faces again. I know I always think the worst. Anywho they did find one polyp so I was glad that I did it and have to go back and have another in 3 years. I left the hopsital and DH took me to Burger King and I ate bad there but I won't tell you what I had. I was starving. I had cranberry juice and graham crackers at the hospital but that's it. I'm good now though, back on track.

Gayle - My eyes were closed but I felt when they pump the air into your colon. Very painful. It was like I was having a dream and heard the nurses and doctor talking and then I must have said it hurt so they told me to bend my legs into my chest. Then I remember it being over and half asleep they wheeled me into recovery. I guess it didn't knock me all the way which was fine but that pain was horrible almost like labor pains.

 

[Sparkie]

Samer again

 

[mousehouselover]

Please take me off the naughty list. On second thought, with a weigh in like this I should propbably be at the top of the naughty list. I'm up, like 5 lbs............ I've gained a lot in my abdomen and it's gross. I just can't seem to find my zen.

 

[::Snow_White::]

Good Morning!
Already did some my hour of wii fit this morning and feeling great.

I was wondering what do you all wear when you work out? Do you have work out clothes or just wear shorts and tank tops/t-shirts?
Right now I just wear shorts and tank tops but I'm looking in to finding some yoga pants and other things when I go shopping tomorrow. I was wondering if you all had some favorite clothes/brands and where did you buy them?

Have a good day!

 

[UtahMama]

Laura- OUCH!!!! You deserved the Burger King goodies! OMGosh, I had bought my kids (I swear!) the fries and they looked SOOO freaking delicious. Fries are my weakness.

Kayla- I wear comfy clothes and a sports bra. NOT a fashion show and I work out with BIG BOYS so I don't want to look like a gym bunny. Mostly black lycra yoga type pants and a lycra tshirt. Hair up in a messy ponytail and NO makeup. My only accessory is my iPod and glasses. Pretty!

Noni- It's ok!!!! Glad to see you!!!

Lauren- Funny!!! I love Chinese food too...it does stick with you that way doesn't it???




Getting my body fat % done this Monday. Which is keeping me very good this weekend. That and my contest with Lynda and Gayle. Keeping me on the straight and narrow!!!

 

[Pakey]

Upcoming WDW trips for me: We are taking the kids/spouses and grandson (11 of us total) in Jan, staying at Beach Club, and then going on a Disney cruise after with all of them. It's their Christmas present this year. We got the Deluxe Dining Plan for all of them so I have spent hours making ADR's as none of them are eating in groups (we will all eat together on the cruise). My husband and I are going to do character meals with our 3 year old grandson and I'm already very very afraid.

I'm also going in May for a girls' week at the Beach Club. We plan to hang out at the pool and do spa treatments and stuff like that. This is a friend I met on the dis and we've done short vacations several times but this will be the first weeklong one.

That will be it for 2009 since my husband and I are doing the Adventures by Disney Costa Rican trip in September.

And I'm always terrible about eating while on vacation. Terrible.

 

[HockeyKat]

Faith -- we just planned our Jan trip, 25-29 at SSR (all they had). I am also going Dec 5-9 with some DIS friends (from the "other" thread).

Laura -- glad the news was good, but ooowwwie!!

LMO -- hope you feel better. Mmm chinese food.

Kayla -- I wear old t-shirts and shorts. Just too cheap to buy "nice" clothes to get all sweaty in!

Noni -- I have been having trouble with my zen too. Jump back in!!

Wendy -- I have "metabolism" all the time!!


I managed to get 3 days of exercise in this week, Mon hockey, and Thurs/Fri gym. And I didn't go much over 1500 calories since Monday. So, hopefully I can put together next week like I did this one...


Hope everyone has a great weekend! Sometime soon I will get up off the couch and go meander around shopping... 30% coupon at Kohls.

 

[Sparkie]

the trip for my mom's friends was scheduled for the Carribean Beach but when I called to add the request for ground floor and roll in shower they couldnt guarentee it - this would not do - so I found a number for reservations with special needs on allears where they can block a room for you.....


So now mom's friends are booked for coronado springs with a roll in shower.

So have any of you stayed at Coronodo Springs?


I had so much fun looking at Carribean Beach that I want to give that one a try..... but can you believe it my family doesnt want to go ..... they said that they need a Disney break..... oh, the HORROR!!!! They would consider accompanying me to the mouse if we did the cruise......

So Pakey I would be interested to hear how your cruise goes....

 

[MA pigletfan]

hello all !
i had a great saturday today...woke up and did the full 40+ workout of turbo jam kick punch whatever its called..it is really an amazing workout! Lauren, I owe you for talking this one up..its so much fun!! I have to be honest about 25 min. in i was contemplating stopping..BUT NOPE..i kept plugging on..and i am so happy I did!!
I spent today with my mom and we ran all sorts of errands..i DID have lunch/dinner at Qdoba though ( black bean burrito..light cheese)...it was delicioius and super filling so i didn't have a dinner after that..so all in all not bad!
Hoping to hit the gym tommorow...Keep on peepin on peepers!!

 

[dwheatl]

DH and I had a church meeting that went from 9 to 6 today. We took our food with us, and ate salad, fruit and light yogurt from the meeting. It was killing me some of the time, because they had quiche and scones and cookies that all looked so good. I finally gave in and had one cookie. Not too bad, but I wish I wasn't food-obsessed.

I'm not going to WDW for a while (years), but I made reservations the other night for Disneyland for New Year's. Yippee skippee!

I'm sorry!! I am too scared to weigh myself!! DH and I have "discovered" baking and it is all we do!! I have eaten so much ooey gooey cake the last 2 weeks. This is the last day though - carrot cake baking as we speak (and that at least has veg in it ) - tomorrow we are starting afresh. So BOY will I be in a grump of a mood Friday morning!!

On a plus side went out for the day yesterday and did all our Christmas shopping! NOTHING left to get at all - so satisfying! On our feet for 6 hours none-stop which had to have burned some calories. And to show my true dedication to peepdom we shared 6 Krispy Kremes instead of our usual 12. Never tell me I don't take one for the team!!!!

And got up this morning and did Turbo Jam Cardio Party 2, which has just arrived - LOVED it! They are such an excellent series of workouts.
