So I've been home for a few days and finally got a handle on the laundry. My husband and I have been going over our trip and we've both come to the conclusion that we will never go to Disney World in August again. We just couldn't tour the World the way we like to with the heat being what it was. Temps near 100 with a real feel near 106! Not for me.
FP+ worked well for us. My husband didn't have many problems with the
MDE app and when he did he'd open up the full website instead. For some reason my iPod could not get any website to open up whole I was in the parks. Good thing DH had his.
The worst day of our trip consisted of two instances. 1. The morning we rope dropped DHS. When we went last year the CMs would let you through the tap stations into the park and you just walked to whatever ride you wanted to do and got in line. Worked great because how quickly you got there was based on where you were in line. Made getting to TSMM fairly simple. Now they are back to grouping everyone up but near the big hat so you can see Olaf on a big screen which means hundreds of people are pushing, shoving and rolling over you to fit through that teeny tiny arch to get to Toy Story. I was scared! Had my foot rolled ver by a stroller but was very thankful it wasn't the
ECV I saw. I can only imagine what it felt like as a little kid. I got separated from my family it was so bad. 2. We spent the afternoon in the pool after spending another morning at DHS and eating at the Sci-Fi for lunch. My son tried the hamburger with a hot dog on it. That evening we went to MK but had to leave because the poor kid ended up having stomach issues. Not sure if it was the burger or the pool water he accidentally swallowed. Probably a little of both. Poor thing.
Over all we enjoyed the rides. (I will say that Mine Train is over rated for the length of time you stand it line for such a short experience. Would have been better if it could have been longer.) My DS13 went on some rides for the first time that he had been scared to try as a younger kid so that was fun to see.
Having the pool time was good but there were days that you couldn't even sit by it and enjoy a drink because it was so hot.
We were so done by the end of our trip and I think we are Disneyed out for a while. I had planned on doing the Run Disney Tower of Terror 10 Miler in October of 2015 but now I'm not sure. I might push that off until 2016. I've got until Feb to decide. Of course that is unless my husband follows through on his recently discussed plan of heading to the Tampa area to spend a week at the beach at the end of February. Then we'd use our money towards that.
On a good note, I didn't gain much from all the goodies I ate while at Disney. Just a couple of pounds that I am now working on. Went for my first run since before the trip on Tuesday. What an event that was. Didn't go very far and had to walk some. I figured at least it was something.
I hope you all had or are having good trips!
So I have 15 days until Disney. Of that I think I should be able to exercise 14 of those. IF I really try. Today is the test. I have to see if I fit into my swim suit or not.
I don't want to have to go swim suit shopping right now. My DD had her birthday last week, the party was Saturday, I only had 1 slice of cake, but I've had roughly 6 rice crispy treats. But really, I can handle that. The issue is I don't feel well, my muscles are tight, and my back is sore. I need to get back to taking care of me. I will be held accountable. I will do something everyday. I plan to have a solid workout each day and then I'm sure I'll at least feel like my body will be able to handle the pace of a Disney trip. And at 35*C today I think I can use the heat to practice for FL too!
I can do it!

HI, my name's Sarah and it's been too long since my last fix. Though luckily I've managed to find a pretty decent discount every time. SO - I just did the math. 
It would seem that over the course of the last 7.5 years we've spent roughly $50,000 at Disney. 
Maybe I just lilked where I was better
I found the heat brutal but knew that going in so did half days mostly and more pool time but you could always tell when every one was getting back as the pool attendance doubled in size.
