[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

Hey Peeps.....IM BACK!!! And Im MRS DisneyGalUK!

The wedding was fabulous! The day absolutely flew by and there were no problems at all (or at least none that I knew of!)

Wendy - I didn't get chance to put a PEEPS sign out but.....the PEEPS got a shout out in the speeches! It was so funny! DH (Oh my, hes now DH! ) bought me the Stephanie Meyer books as a little surprise present and in his speech he said something along the lines of 'All I have heard is the peeps say these books are soooo great, the peeps cant stop reading these books, so ive bought them for Kelly so she finally stays quiet for two minutes!' He did also thank the peeps for me looking nice in my wedding dress

Sparkie - Congrats on the baby girl and an extra for you

LMO - You look AWESOME!!! You are going to be a stunning bride!

Lynda - Great picture, you look fabulous!

A girl..huh?!? That is exciting!!! My only piece of advice is don't take all the resposibility for caring for the baby...you helping too much allows her to still be the "teenager" and not be as resposible for her baby. It's hard as "Grandma", but she has to realize she has given up some things by having this baby. JMHO Believe me, I know how hard that is after doing it with my own DD, but sometimes we have to instill some "tough love" on our kids.

I agree. My only reason for changing my work schedule is to help her go to school. It is going to be hard that is for sure but i agree she has got to do this on her own- I was thinking the other day..... My DD is very selfish and self-centered as most teenagers are but sometimes she can be down right nasty..... maybe this baby will teach her to think of somebody other than herself.

When is she due again? Sorry to hear that the baby's father is not there for your DD but you are and that's all that counts. Congrats on the girl to your DD.

She is due Feb. 9, 2009.

I'm sorry that my DD cant see what is going on with the baby's father. He is in an out but not really "in" if you understand what I mean. He did take her for her ultrasound and doctor visit. Afterwards, she thought they would spend the day together but after they ate lunch he suddenly had somewhere he had to go. Its the same story over and over. DD thinks the plans are one thing and FOB (father of baby) only does the minimum to keep her happy and then quickly exits to do what he really wanted to do .... Or that is the way it seems from the "mama" perspective. But I cant tell her because she wont believe me... its one of those things that she will have to figure out on her own. I was a doormat for a lot of years in my realationship for fear that if I didnt act in a certain way, if I didnt give in, yadda-yadda-yadda..... but I finally got tired of trying to be someone else to please somebody else and took back my life.... but I was married for a lot of years before I reached that point.

Anyway.....

Thanks to everyone for the hugs and support.

Also..thanks mommau4 for the nice DL list..i am going around the same time as Lauren for my first time too..you helped 2 peeps for the price of 1! ha!

 

[LMO429]

Have you ever been to DL before? I can't recall...sorry.


Well, in any case, I haven't been to the ToT party before, but I'm going this year and really excited by all the pics and things I've seen. So I'd say to go. Have you been to MNSSHP? It's not that big so you might be disappointed if you try to compare the two, kwim? But the park is really done up nicely and lots of different characters out to take pics with.


Carnation Cafe is really good, get the Baked Potato soup. And ask if Oscar the chef is around. He's been working at DL for over 50 years and I've heard he has great stories of the early days. It would be neat to have a pic with him.

At the Blue Bayou, I'm sure you know to ask to have a water side table if possible.

Are you planning a tour? They have the Walk in Walt's Footsteps tour which also includes lunch so that's nice. And you'd get some behind the scenes info as well as a peek into the lobby of Club 33.

The chicken alfredo lasagna at Wine Country Trattoria is really good. Everyone I've talked to who's had it, loves it.

Gotta try a Tigger Tail. They are sold down by the Winnie the Pooh ride.

I personally enjoy the "Disneyland: The First 50 Magical Years" show with Steve Martin. It's an exhibit about the history of Disneyland.

Gotta ride the Haunted Mansion since the Nightmare Before Christmas holiday layover will be up. That's really fun.

It's a long shot, but if you are really sweet lol and ask one of the CMs working at the train (the one that goes around the park) if you can ride in the Lily Belle, they might let you. (Find a male CM and show him a little leg! ) http://waltstoytrains.railfan.net/lilly.htm
Just recently another DISer I know asked and her and her DH were allowed to ride.


I'm trying to think of things that are unique to Disneyland.

Oh, the Billy Hill and the Hillbillies show is really funny.

Mr. Toads Wild Ride, since that's gone from WDW now.

The Tiki Room still has the original show.

The canoes that circle Tom Sawyers island are kind of fun. I've heard they don't have those in WDW.

Ride the carousel in Fantasyland and look for Jingles. It's supposed to be Mary Poppins horse. I think it had bells around it's neck or something. A pic on that would be cute.

The Matterhorn of course. And Indiana Jones ride.

Storybook Land canal boats are really cute. The line is usually long, BUT the little scenes are so adorable and make great pics.

I guess I have to say Finding Nemo, lol. It's pretty much a must do as well. Although I am claustophobic so I hated it. Still, I did it at least once.

Also the Mark Twain is a must do, and I've heard you can ask the CMs working at the dock if you can ride up in the wheel house.

Ummm, well, that's all I can think of off the top of my head. LOL Just go on everything and have fun!

Also here is a thread (it's short) that you can glance through real quick about some of the favorite snacks/foods at Disneyland:

WOW!!! thank you so much for the information! It will be my first time at DL, we will be there for 5 days so i do intend on talking the walking in walt's footsteps tour!

You got it right there. She will have to find out for herself that he's a jerk, unfortunately. Lots of hugs for her.

Hello! I just came across this thread and I think it's a great idea!

I have been on and off weight watchers since last Jan. I lost 20, but recently have gained 10 back!

So I thought I'd hop right back on and give this a try!

I'm not sure I'll have time to go back and read through the entire thread because my semester just started. I may be in the dark for awhile.

 

[::Snow_White::]

I hope nobody cares if a teenager and lurker like myself pops in on here!
I've been reading on the WISH forums for awhile, but never posted.
Anyways my name is Kayla, I'm 15 (Sophomore in highschool) , and trying to lose about 10 more pounds before our disney trip next summer.
After watching the Olympics the marathon runners really inspired me. I'd love to do that.
I couldn't run the mile for gym without feeling like I was gonna be sick and I was one of the last done.
So I'm starting to run everyday. I do yoga, and have a Wii fit.
I decided to try and get healthier after gym last year when I lost 15 pounds from weightlifting, then lost another 6 during the summer. I dropped 4 pant sizes!
I gave up soda in June, and haven't had but a sip here and there when I didn't realize what I was drinking was soda!
I've changed my eating habits and now I eat much healthier foods and get much more exercise than I use to.
I had a thread on the teen board for all of us trying to get healthier. It was a success for awhile until it died away. I thought I could come over here for everyday support motivation.

Anyways, I'm not too keen on losing weight as I am on getting rid of the fat and gaining muscle.
I was a little hesitant about posting because it seems like I'm the only teenager around these parts, but I decided to go for it as all of you seem incredibly nice.

OOOPs, didn't mean to not welcome you too!

Ohh how I know the lose 20 gain back 10 thing. It's why I never have a wish ribbon! Very frustrating!

Good for you on keeping 10 OFF though!

WELCOME!

 

[Sparkie]

Welcome to the new girls!!!!


SnowWhite Im so proud of you for trying to get healthy. Also I HARRY POTTER too! Ive read all the books a gazillion times and seen the movies so much that my DVD skips. Cant wait for the new movie to come out..... but my mom just told me that it was going to be delayed due to the Twilight release... I havent read Twilight yet but I know there are some on here that just love it.

DisneyGalUK Your wedding pictures are so beautiful and your DH..... HUBBA HUBBA!

Disney Laura Thank you so much for your encouragement. We finally told our parents this weekend. My inlaws are in their 80's and we thought it would be best if we pre-warned them before DD went to talk to them. I just couldnt keep avoiding my mom anymore.... and I needed someone to talk to. As expected, everyone is disappointed but we will be ok.


I am also a non-ribbon sporting peep..... I originally lost 30 but I have gained 40....
I am really looking forward to my job change and trying to establish a semi-normal life... maybe regular meals, no 3 am snacks and just a tid bit of exercise can make a difference.... along with regular nighttime sleep..... Jeez.... i just love sleep.... only a night shift worker can appreciate that last statement

 

[::Snow_White::]

UtahMama & my2boysrtwicethefun - Thanks so much!

Sparkie- Thank you! I'm suprised my DVDs haven't started skipping yet, I've watched them so many times. You can tell my books have been read quite a few times, they've got some tears here and there! Yeah, it's going to be delayed until July of next summer, a total bummer.
I've read Twilight, they are pretty good books!

 

[punkin413]
