Disney Gives Me the Warm Fuzzies. January 2010 PreTrip Report. Update 11/6 Pg. 79

[Lady Lallie]

Hi LL! Let me add to the well wishes and congratulations that your recovery is going well.

Someday when you have little ones, you'll look back at this forced inactivity with fondness.

I've started making myself lists of things to do, that seems to be helping a bit.

I'm glad you're feeling better!! You'll probably have good days and bad days but it will definitely be worth it in the end! Yay itchy incision=healing!!

They are WICKED itchy today. In fact the itching kept me up a bit last night. I'm taking that as a good sign.

Okay, I feel so out of it! I had no idea that you started this PTR until I saw your response in Wigd's TR and noticed a new PTR!

Anyway, all caught up now. We loved Pop in November. Great place for a great price. The price of an AP is scary, but if you are going to use it, totally worth it.

Hope your recovery is going well and your liquid diet isn't grossing you out too much.

I'm glad you found me!! I'm still freaking out about the AP, truly. I figure worst case if I can't swing it when the time comes I'll just book a one night reservation for my first night and then when Jen comes we can use her AP for the room discount. I refuse to let myself stress out about it.

LOL, I'm reading Mousejunkies too! It's great!

I just finished last night.

I should have taken you to hear the Mousejunkies talk! I never thought I would see a room of people who think exactly like you and TOTALLY get the Disney Obsession.

MOUSEJUNKIE fans....they did mention that the release date for #2 should be soon

I would have loved that! If you hear of another one I'd love to go!! I can't wait for the second one!!

There's going to be another Mousejunkies book? Oh, I can't wait!

I know! That is so exciting. I feel like I found people just like me!

Woot!! I'm a big fan of the Mousejunkies!!

And yes you must plan our whole trip LOL!! I expect lists and more lists and even a spreadsheet or two...although I'll do our ADR math LOL!!

Good Night Leslie!!

I'm working on it! You will be quite proud of my productivity today.

They did say that there is going to be a 2nd book and he was waiting to hear from the editors about a release date.

I brought my DD to their book signing/speaking engagement. They were all there except Jenna and she thought it was so funny that there are other adults who love WDW like mommy!!!

Hehehe. So she doesn't think you are so weird now?

Hey LL!!! Glad to hear you are healing up and starting to feel up to your old antics!!! Mousejunkies??!! GOOD Grief, I have to get a copy!!! YAY!! A new book!!!!

Hey ... Ho Ho HO...

Yes, you must order it. I am so happy you started your PTR! It totally made my day!! The only thing that could have been better is solid food.

Mousejunkies is a read aloud in our car!

Hey LL,

Glad to hear your doing well... I does take time to recover-you had surgery and that puts a strain on your body...you need to let it have the time it needs to heal properly...

Too funny about Mousejunkies-I had to order a book for David from Amazon a couple of day ago...-and I order Mousejunkies to get the free shipping... You know-you have to order $25...dollars worth...

I'm trying to be patient with the healing, it's hard though. I always thought I was a fairly sedentary person but I move a lot more than I give myself credit for. I've been moving quite a bit today though, it feels good.

I totally get you about the $25 to get free shipping!! I do that ALL the time!

You will not be far from me!!!

That is so exciting! When I go visit Jen in Austin we can have a DIS meet!!!

My mom ordered Mousejunkies -- I am off today and tomorrow so I'm definitely borrowing it! I can't wait to read it.

WOO HOO! We are all total Mousejunkies!

 

[jenjolt]

YAY for a meet in Austin!! YAY!!!!

Okay I want details...what have you planned!!! You sound like you have been quite the busy bee today!!!

 

[Lady Lallie]

I was so caught up in your surgery that I forgot about the PTR. So I went back and am now all up to date. The trip sounds like it will be a blast. You know I was just looking at Mickey Mom's trip report and the pictures of Pop. We went there our first trip in 2005 and I really want to go back. I love all the colors.

Your November trip also sounds great. We stayed at POFQ in 2007 and loved both sides of that resort. I am still working on DH for a 12/2010 trip and a value or POR is what I am aiming for. He is slowly seeing it my way.

I have been following you on FB and know you are doing good after your surgery. Just remember what I always tell you "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." I am so happy for you that you made such a life changing decision, I know it has impacted my life for the better and hope it does yours as well.

You know...I think Pop is a good choice for Jen and I. Especially since I have another trip planned for that year.

I hope you get your 12/2010 trip though I really wish it would be in 11/2010.

I totally need to hear "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" today. I am so sick of Jello, Water and Protein Shakes it is not even funny.

YAY for a meet in Austin!! YAY!!!!

Okay I want details...what have you planned!!! You sound like you have been quite the busy bee today!!!

All in due time my friend...all in due time.

I do too, but with school I have to do it around Little Man's schedule!! I have picked my dates if you are interested in switching

 

[manntra]

So glad that you are feeling better and are Dis'ing away! Mousejunkies..........heading over to Amazon now!
I recently read "The Hidden Magic of WDW." A lot of it is stuff that we here on the inside already know but it was very interesting and a good read.
Keep up the good work!

I'm actually reading The Hidden Magic of WDW now! I'm only a few pages in and I already LOVE it.

December 17-23, we went in 2008 from December 16-22 and were surprised that we didnt feel the crowds were that bad, this August was way worse. Not sure which resort yet, we narrowed it down to ASMu (DS choice), CSR-we really liked it, or POR (but we saw POFQ and it in 2007 decorated for Christmas so not sure). I think I am going to go ahead and reserve this week so need to decide on the resort.

I wonder if I could convince Marc to go that close to Christmas. I will discuss it with him. I would love to be there for Christmas itself.

Tell Marc to just say:


That would be so much fun!!! Anyone else want to come?

 

[Sarilas]

Oooh, I just booked mine for November 16-21 to take advantage of free dining and celebrate our anniversary (5 years on Nov. 23rd)!

Is this for this year?? That is awesome!!

 

[Sarilas]

Yep, totally spur of the moment and I am SO EXCITED!

Ooo! Ooo! Pick me! Pick me!

I'm trying to convince my DH to go Dec 2010 to either POR or ASMu suites if Alex is successful in recruiting his friend to come (it'd be six of us then). He says its highly unlikely that he'd get that time of year off work but for now I'm talking about it as if we're going.

That is so awesome! Just the two of you or kids too?

Oh you should go!! Hopefully he could get the time off. I'll cross my fingers for you.
