Finally picked up the first Kingdom Keepers and loved it! Can't wait to get the rest of them. The kids are racing to finish their current books, winner gets to read KK first.

I was browsing through my Pinterest boards and B saw Disneybound. He wants to dress up for our trip, especially for V&A. Right now, I'm thinking Robin Hood and Maid Marian. B has an amazing brown suede jacket and I do like lavender. Or maybe Mickey and Minnie.

 

[Zooshoveller]

Just some ideas.

 

[Zooshoveller]

Had a great Easter Sunday with all our family today. Finally got to see The Lone Ranger and Frozen. I really liked LR but I LOVED Frozen. Now I understand what all the fuss is about! At the end of the movie, I looked over at B and said "Anna and Kristof, Disneybound."

And the Easter Bunny brought the kids Sorcerer Mickey, the Perry and Phineas set, and two power disc packs.

Lost 3.6 more lbs! I know every pound counts, but I'm not losing as fast as I want. My goal is two pounds a week. Diet is pretty good but my exercise is lacking. Got to get moving! 158 until Disney, 187 to weight goal.

 

[Zooshoveller]

And plans are constantly changing. We are thinking about adding an extra night and staying at All Star Music. How does a split stay work?

And now B wants to go to MNSSHP!

 

[Zooshoveller]

So right now we are looking at adding a day to the beginning and a day at the end of our "little weekend get away."

It looks like a split stay - ASMu, YC, Pop

If a room discount comes out (which I'm 99% sure won't happen), we could stay at YC the whole time. We can fit two nights at a value into the budget. I need to see about maybe sliding stuff around. Right now I don't change my YC dates.

How does a split stay work?

 

[Zooshoveller]

Just got a lunch reservation for Yak & Yeti and a dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern.

I do not want to go to work today. I want to stay home and plan more Disney stuff! LOL

 

[Zooshoveller]

Ok. Latest plans:

Thursday - arrive between 4-5, check in ASMu, change into costumes and head to MK for our very first MNSSHP.

Friday - check out early and check in at YC. Quick trip to AK for breakfast at Tusker House, ride a couple rides, then head over to EP. Lunch at Coral Reef and then dinner with friends at Victoria & Alberts.

Saturday - Breakfast at Captain's Grille. F&W all day and night!

Sunday - Breakfast at Captain's Grille again and then check out. Swing by HS for a couple rides, then AK for lunch at Yak & Yeti and explore the trails. Check in to Pop. Evening at MK with dinner at Liberty Tree.

Monday - Check out, breakfast in the Pop food court, and head home.

Happy Mother's Day to all! This is my "peace and quiet" day. Breakfast in bed, hand made cards, and a stack of new books - Kingdom Keepers 2-6!

Hoping these books will help easy the pain of waiting 150 more days until we're back home! LOL

Yay! MNSSHP tickets arrived today!!!

Still trying to narrow down our costume choices. Definitely want a Disney couple.

 

[Zooshoveller]

My interview is Monday! I'm getting nervous. I have no idea what to wear.

Still playing around with our WDW 2015 trip. The kids want to go to the soccer camp, but I don't know if we can swing that and take their cousins.

 

[Zooshoveller]

I didn't get it. I'm devastated.

Hi! I thought I would follow along, we are going in September and leaving the kiddo behind.

Sorry you didn't get the promotion.

Wally is a cutie!!!

We are thinking of switching resorts during our stay...well I am.

I've thought about V&A, but then I look at the menu and realize we are such picky eaters, we probably would not enjoy it.

I'm still heartbroken. I cry daily. It's just unreal. I retire in 5 years. So now after 15 years of dedication above and beyond, I'm just counting down the days. They broke my spirit. I'm now just a shell when I go to work.

BUT - 129 days until B and I get special time with each other at the place where Dreams Come True!

Wally is a little stinker, but a surprisingly calm terrier. He looks like a short haired Scottie.

I would extend our stay at YC if we could get a room discount. It's just not in our budget this time. Normally I won't think of staying at 3 different resorts in 4 nights, but it's just the two of us, we're light packers, and this trip is about the food not rope drops and attractions! LOL

We are adventurous eaters. I'll try just about anything. I've been to really nice restaurants, but nothing like V&A. I'm a little nervous!

You better do a trip report or at least a big long post about your trip!

My husband is retiring from the Air Force after 21 years. Didn't make that list for promotion to Colonel, so I understand how you feel.

I probably will. I use to do them all the time. I did start a PTR, it is in my signature.

Ugh. You so understand. So picture them putting Hitler on the list over your DH. (Well it's not that bad... But to me it is! LOL)
