I won!

[pied1piper]

Hey all, I just won a weight loss contest and in turn I won a free 4 night stay at the Doubletree Hotel in Anaheim. I thought I would stay there and head over to DL for a couple of days. I was just wondering what the crowd levels would be like in the last few days of March or start of April.

Also if anyone had any info on the hotel that would be great also. Thanx!

I don't know what the crowds will be like but I wanted to say congratulations on your weight loss and winning the tickets too!

Unfortunatly it's spring break time so it will be crowded. Fortunately you are awesome and won a free trip to DL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is incredible congratulations!

Remember to get to the parks before the gates open and take advantage of EE if you have a park hopper. Also utilize fastpasses as much as possible.

Very exciting! Congrats again!

Our Spring Break is the first week of April and we'll be there then. Anytime our Spring Break has Good Friday in it (which it does this year), it's just crazy busy there. Avoid the week before and after Easter. But CONGRATS on winning!

How cool for you! Not just winning the trip, but the weight loss!

I haven't stayed at that Doubletree--although I like them as a chain! As for the crowds---how bad can it be---it's a FREE trip!

Now, on to the really funny part of your windfall...You win a weight loss contest, and they send you to the junk-foodiest, more-sweets-per-square-foot-than-Hershey, indulge-yourself kind of place I know!!! I think they're testing your willpower! ENJOY!

Congratulations on your weight loss - not to mention winning a trip to Disneyland!
We were at DL last year during the first week of April...the weather was awful! It poured down rain for 2 days, and then sprinkled off and on for another couple of days. The rain didn't bother us too much - we are Northwesterners! Just be prepared with a lightweight rain jacket!
I'm sure that the parks were crowded, just given the time of year, but I don't remember them being too bad, most likely due to the rain. Good or bad weather, crowded parks or empty - it is hard to complain when you are at Disney!
We are heading back down to DL in August (talk about crowds! ), and we looked at the Doubletree - I think that is a *suites* hotel, so it should be nice!
Congrats again, and have a great time!

Thanks for all of the support.

Just in case any of you were wondering, I lost 52lbs. in three months. It was hard to do, especially with the hollidays being throughout. But I knew what the prize was at the end of the tunnel, and man do I feel great.....not to mention looking a heck of a lot better too!

OK we have to know your secret! No wonder you won the trip. That is amazing! What did you do and how did you do it?

And yes a trip to DL is a great reward to work towards!

Wow 52 lbs in three months! That's awesome, good for you! Who gave you the prize? Does that particular person/party want to make the same bet with me? Only instead of 52 how about 5?

It was a Trim Advantage diet. The Protein Plus Diet was developed by The Better Life Institute and reviewed by the Nutrilite Health Institute. It was a contest called "The Skinniest Winner" through people involved with it. I know the results were a little drastic, but my eating habbits weren't all that great. Eating out was a daily thing for me before now. I'm down to 212lbs., which for a 6'2" frame is not bad. Not like that 264 I was toting around

This isn't an advertisement, but if anyone was interested in looking at the system itself, here's a link:

Like I said, it worked for everyone on it....but I'm not trying to sell anything on here, I'm just here for the advice. And thanx again for the support, now the hardest part is keeping it all off!!!

I totally know what you mean! We went to a movie and I HAD to a have a ton of popcorn. Then we went out to dinner and I pigged out on chips and salsa (my personal weakness!)

To the OP
Anyway, thanks for the link, we'll check it out.

Congrats again. That is quite an accomplishment!
