Disney Gives Us the Warm Fuzzies - Take Two. TRIP REPORT HAS BEGUN! 1/20 Pg. 92

[Lady Lallie]

6 Days until Disney World Warm Fuzzies!

Frozen Chai from Animal Kingdom.

This one is ALL Jen. I don't drink anything like this so I will watch her drink this lovely treat and be on picture taking duty.

WOOT!! Please oh Please don't let me forget to get one of these! It has been on my list since last January you would have thought I would have gotten one by now BUT NOPE!

 

[pipersmom]

Not sure about frozen chai (not a big tea drinker) but I am always up for frozen coffee! Very cute sneaks! I like Asics as well, but got a pair of Nike Walks for this trip when a local store was doing buy one get one for a dollar! My Mom and I both got a pair for $30 each! They're very lightweight, I was amazed..then again..it's been prob 3 yrs since I've had a pair of sneakers on my feet except to mow the lawn. : More of a teva, crocs, birks kinda girl.

When I first saw all those bags I thought you were crazy! Glad you are narrowing it down or else you would be paying hundreds in baggage fees! :lol:

Cool shoes! I need a new pair, I'll be interested to hear how they hold up in WDW.

Oh, a frozen chai! I wanted one in October but both times we walked by the line was so long!

5 days!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Yum! Jen, you will have to tell me what you think about the Frozen Chai! That would be a very refreshing drink in July if they are good.

Six days? The days are just melting away, LL!

 

[aprilisis]

HOLY MOLY...those are the exact same shoes I have except mine are pink...I kid you not we are going to have matching shoes LOL!!

So with all that stuff does that mean I don't need to pack my blister stuff and I can just borrow yours...anything to lessen my load LOL!! You know I am bringing the hot rollers with me LOL!!!

LOL, you guys...I will be wearing shoes that look almost exactly like that in black & pink!

 

[If U Had Wings]

I'm so ready to get going on this trip. I'm currently staring at my suitcases trying to get the motivation to pack. It's not happening.

Unless you plan on wearing the same thing all week, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you'll have to pack.

Are you going to wear new sneakers at Disney? I thought that was a no-no?

I was thinking the same thing. Try wearing them everywhere until you go. I'd hate to see you end up having a problem with the new shoes.

I love them though! My running shoes are Asics. I'm trying to convince myself that I need new ones, so I can use the old ones for daily use.

Cute sneakers!

I've never used Body Glide. Does it work?

Yes! It's great stuff. Works anywhere that you have issues with rubbing or chafing. I use it before I run, and have never had any problems.

 

[Mndisneygirl]

LL - love the purple luggage, but I agree - that is not chaos. Have kids, then you will truly know chaos!

Isn't it funny how much "stuff" we need to buy for our trips? I always buy lots of "travel size" things too! Sometimes I think I spend so much before I go, I could add an extra day to my trip!, but oh, wait, you did that too!!

Jen - PACK!!!! If you don't do it soon, you will be in a panic that you forgot something. So go get your list, start putting clothes in that suitcase and check it off!! You only have a WEEK!!!! Plus, you know you're packing the kitchen sink, you better start soon. It might take a week! Jeez, woman, you're starting to make me nervous!! I get so excited about my trips that I actually want to pack! It makes it seem closer.

I am not showing my messy packing.
Well, my current sneakers have gotten too broken in I think. They have lost some of their support. So I ordered new ones that are very simillar to my current ones. I'm going to try and break them in best I can. I'm basically bringing them for back up.

They didn't have the pink in my size. I was bummed. There is chaos there, it drives me batty.

LOVE the purple luggage!

Glad to hear they are back up but still, they are new so be careful!

I have the same shoes in aqua, Kendall has them in purple! Running shoes for her, gym shoes for me though I confess I did not wear them in the parks at all. I'm weird about the whole tennis shoes thing.

That chai looks yummy on a hot day, I might have to try that and am going to look for those coconut bars Yum-O!

 

[Megablocks]

If you're worried about the support, have you considered inserts? I know that a lot of my shoes lose, or don't have, the arch support, which kills me, so I found some Dr. Scholl's arch support inserts that work really well. I don't think you can wear them in the airport or on the plane because there's some gel stuff in the heel part, but I just packed them in my suitcase last time.

That frozen chai looks SO good! If it's at AK, I'm going to have to get that along with a spicy cheese pretzel...

 

[Diamondintheruff]

I usually put out all the stuff I'm taking then decide which bag it all fits in. At least until I bought myself my favorite bag and now if it doesn't fit inside this bag. It doesn't go. I thought I had a close up picture of it but this one will have to do. It's the red and white polka dot one behind my Dh by the red carpet at ME. My second favorite is the lime green bag beside it.

That is a great deal on sneakers! I loved my crocs until May when I had to deal with Blister Bonanza.

Ummm- YUM!!!! Where do I get this in AK?????

I'm not sure. Jen, where do you get this?

I love my Asics for everyday wear and tear. They are very comfortable and lightweight. I'll let you know how they fair.

No way am I brining all those bags.

Yum! Jen, you will have to tell me what you think about the Frozen Chai! That would be a very refreshing drink in July if they are good.

They are, they are!

Twins!

Yes! It's great stuff. Works anywhere that you have issues with rubbing or chafing. I use it before I run, and have never had any problems.

Can't I just wear the same outfit over and over again?? I am going to wear them every where I go except work....I'd get in trouble.

It is amazing how much stuff I buy before my trips. It's ridiculous. And there is chaos and mayhem in that picture. It's still all dumped out on my living room floor.

LOVE the purple luggage!

Glad to hear they are back up but still, they are new so be careful!

I like my purple luggage too, although I've been eyeing this adorable polka dot set that I can't justify spending teh money on.

I plan on being super careful with my feet in general. I wll not let my feet deal with blister overload again.

I did get inserts too so I'm going to try that too.

That is a super cut bag! I love it. I really like the black duffel type bag. My biggest problem is I can't decide what to carry on the plane.

I'm not even taking my crocs for two reasons..1. Last time Piper was in the hosp it was a rush packing job, all I took were my crocs, and I ended up with blisters on the TOPs of my feet..(still haven't figured that one out!) and 2. They're about 3 yrs old and the tread is literally worn off the bottom..LOL. Right now I'm thinking I'm going to take my new sneaks (I have been breaking them in!) and my tevas.

Tevas, I've heard are really good park shoes for some. I haven't been able to find a pair that I think are comfortable. I wish I could. They don't go up high enough in sizes to fit my mammoth feet.

 

[Lady Lallie]

So I have formulated a plan for my 4 Parks 1 Day Extravaganza.

This is still a tentative plan. I'm not 100% sure this is what I will be doing on my solo day. I have to see how my feet and my knee hold out and if I am feeling the craziness. Who knows, I may wake up and want to do one park. Maybe I'll want to sit and relax at the resort, maybe I'll want to go eat breakfast pizza at Wolfgang Puck Express. But for now this is the plan. I've decided to go with one attraction and either a second attraction or character greeting at each park. I reserve the right to change my mind on which rides/characters I want to do on the day. I will also get a picture taken of myself in front of each park icon. The order of the parks is the order that I will visit them in.

*Hollywood Studios @ Rope Drop:
*Toy Story Mania
*Great Movie Ride
*Picture in front of Hat

*Animal Kingdom:
*It’s Tough to be a Bug
*Character Greeting
*Picture in front of Tree of Life

*Magic Kingdom:
*Meet Ariel
*One Ride
*Picture in front of Castle

*Epcot:
*Spaceship Earth
*Soarin
*Picture in front of Spaceship Earth

So what do you think??

 

[brookelizabeth]

You know....I thought they came in one of those bars but now I'm doubting that. I think you might be right.

Either way, they rule. I do like the Mickey shaped bar though.... Everything Mickey shaped has zero calories and tastes better.

That chai looks GOOD. I'm guessing it's from the Anandapur Tea Company in Asia. I had a hot chai from there in January and it was delish.

 

[Mndisneygirl]

I like those plans, tentative as they may be!! It will be so cool to have your picture in front of the park icon! I hope you can do it!

 

[brookelizabeth]

We had posted at the same time, almost missed your 4 Parks/1 Day schedule!

I think this looks good. On MeMom's 4 Parks/1 Day she mentioned they really had no problem doing it - and they fit in a nap! I like the idea of getting your picture in front of each park icon too.

Do you have a few ideas for the MK ride? Or are you just going to see what strikes your fancy at that moment?

 

[DisMomAmy]

I think your plans sounds great!

 

[manntra]

Plan for 4 parks is great....I think I am remembering now that when I did this we were staying at SSR and I am pretty sure we actually went to DTD last and then back to room...so that was 4 parks and a quick trip to DTD. What was I thinking? I guess I wasn't!
The frozen chai looks like it might be good...I am a plain iced tea drink...no sweet tea for me and sometimes I like chai....I think this can be found in Asia....there is a drink type of place I think across from Yak.
Well now that chocolate MH is looking even more tasty. It looks like a macaroon. Macaroons are said to help settle the stomach after eating so you should buy a bunch.
Cute sneakers and luggage....I see your sheep again
