And keep up the good work with WW!


for weeks of a countdown!! So exciting!!
And keep up the good work with WW!Just keep practicing the basics and incorporate some exercise in (that could be something to do with all your free time you might have!
) then you'll do great!
I literally LOL bcuz that sounds JUST like Katie - unable to listen to anything I tell her. She is on notice for WDW. DH and I have told her very clearly that we will use the kids club or in room babysitting and go to the park without her if she acts up! And WE WILL!29 days (When I count it out on the actual calendar it is 30 so my 29 day ticker must think the way you do)
I told Caitlin about all of the Pixar characters we might see. She got very excited about seeing them.![]()
I couldn't believe a CRT time came up. I had to do a double take and make sure I didn't type in Captain's Grill or something. I had 'Ohana scheduled that morning and couldn't find a replacement day for that but later that night one opened up. It is crazy how ADRs open up during the day. You could check 5 times a day and there will be different things that pop up. Not that I checked 5 times a day or anything
Is your DH going to be able to make it? I keep telling my DH he can stay home if wants but he keeps saying no. He doesn't think I will be able to handle Caitlin for 9 days since she has a bit of an issue following any direction I give her.
I love UP too! I can't want to see them. I was so excited that they were in DHS in the animation building last year and then right before our trip they got replaced with Lotso. I never thought I would be able to see them.
I can't believe our trips are getting so close![]()
. Lol this is how we got dh to go to the beach with us...he didn'twant to miss Katie's first trip. Luckily he liked it after not having gone for about 25 years.UP is a very good movie, but I love Ratatouille. It is one of my favorites. It is on ABC family almost once a month, I hope you are able to catch it sometime.
DH says he doesn't want to go but I have given him every opportunity to stay home. A few years ago I took Caitlin to Six Flags for the day without him and he was mad that he missed it. I can't imagine he would really want to miss his daughter being in Disney when she's 6. It won't be the same when we go back in a few years.
I don't think we will make it to any morning EMH, but I will try to make at least one or two evening ones. I am probably going to head to MK for an evening by myself since DH and DD don't really like MK.
sounds like you are doing well on the ww. Down is good!!Nothing really interesting to report except -
My ticker now says WEEKS! No more months of waiting for me.
I have tons of packing and Disney shopping and organizing to do but somehow I have no days at work in the beginning of May. The days I was asked to work were the two 4-12 shifts the two nights we left so I passed. I head right back to work when we get back thankfully.
Right now I am working April 30th and don't have to be back until May 26I am trying to leave some things to do otherwise I'll just get bored and blow my diet.
WW Weigh In
Week 3I skipped this weigh in. I had an awful week and decided at the end of this week to just use the old WW system until our trip. Maybe the new system works but there is too much of a learning curve for me and I don't have the time to be messing around.
Week 4
-1.2 lbs
4 weeks left and about 5 lbs to meet my Disney goal. Since I haven't really been losing more than a lb. a week it will be tough.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Doncha love those small numbers!!
i would say Kona for breakfast and Boma for dinner, but only because that's what we're doing!!But I've heard great things about Sanaa, so it depends on how adventurous you (and your DH) want to be. I haven't had any so I'm probably the wrong person to ask.
Also, as far as your lack of exercise since Caitlin will be home, you could do one of a few things. 1.) Get up extra early to workout while DH is still home and Caitlin might still be asleep; 2.) Tell Caitlin that it's important to stay physically fit and healthy, and exercise is an important part of your lifestyle. And if she's "bored" on the walks you guys could always talk Disney stuff!3.) Do some workout stuff at home while Caitlin is there: aerobic videos, crunches, push-ups (girl kind), squats, etc. Jumping rope is a great activity, too! Try jumping for just 30 seconds straight, it's really hard!!
Good luck!!
Hooray for the week countdown!!
I vote for Kona breakfast and/or Sanaa! I haven't tried Sanaa but I want to because I have heard good things...so that influenced my vote!!![]()
We've never done Kona, but I would pick that for breakfast and one of the other two for dinner. I've ready pros/cons for Boma's dinner, but have read nothing but stellar reviews for Saana. I hated WCC for dinner and could not in good conscience recommend it for any meal (sorry to any WCC lovers).
Not gonna lie--I've never been to ANY of those places, so I'm no help!
However, I wanted to say GREAT JOB with the weight loss!
We LOVE LOVE LOVE Sanaa for dinner!I can't wait to go back this year. The scallop appetizer is THE BEST. EVER. This was one of my ADR's that I was not willing to part with, no matter what for this trip (and I had to part with quite a few favs to make room for new places we wanted to try!) And for what it's worth, we prefer Boma at breakfast not dinner. One of the reasons is the juice they serve at breakfast...so yummy. I think they call it jungle juice or frunch. Can't remember.
Good luck picking!
Well, at least your scale...and countdown calendar...is moving in the right direction!![]()
I would think given what you've said about your DH and DD's food preferences, that you might be better off at Boma, because there are at least a handful of things that aren't overly ethnic. Sanaa's menu looks a lot like a standard menu at an Indian restaurant. Personally, I LOVE Indian food, but not everyone does.
Enjoy your week home with your daughter. Its nice being off. I love April vacation! And I'm so happy its getting warmer and there are buds on the trees. Its beautiful out.![]()
Wow, you're getting close!!! I can't wait, I'm ready to go!![]()
Hi Diane!
I hope you get some rest. Insomnia sucks. I did the same thing Sunday night. I woke up at 4am for no reason and was just awake. It kind of buggers up the rest of your day. Its hard to stay on the WW when you are tired too, I totally understand.
Isn't it funny how we all say our plans are now totally set only to change them again a few days later? LOL. I was done. Set. Not changing a thing. Then Kassidy says to me yesterday morning: "When are we eating at Cape May?"Uhhh, we're not. At least we weren't until I found a 7:30am reservation on the 15th. It works out ok, because we're going to Epcot anyway and we can make rope drop, but now I have character breakfasts 4 out of 6 mornings. So much for not being tied to reservations all this trip, LOL.
Here are our ADR's, which I am NOT changing now. I'm done. I need to block the dining reservation page from my laptop.
Sun 15th: 7:30 am Cape May Breakfast
1:00pm Le Chefs Lunch
Mon 16th: 7:45am Ohana
8:00pm Paradisio 37
Tues 17th: 8:15am Tusker House
7:30pm Wishes Dessert Party
Wed 18th: 8:20am 1900 Park Fare
8:00pm Polynesian Luau
Thur 19th: 7:45pm La Hacienda de San Angel
Fri 20th: 11:30am Le Cellier lunch
We are doing Epcot on Sunday, (after being at DHS at rope drop to race to Toy Story Mania and ride it, since it is #1 on our list, and going to EMH at the Magic Kingdom Sunday night, so if you do EMH look out for us, we'll see you there! Monday is Blizzard Beach/Downtown Disney day, Tuesday is Animal Kingdom/Magic Kingdom day. Wednesday is Typhoon Lagoon. Thursday we have a 8:00am BBB ressie, but it's open to do whatever we want until dinner at Epcot. And Friday we will be at DHS at rope drop to ride Star Tours, then hop to Epcot for lunch.
At this point my husband is saying he can't go, and my Mom and brother who were going to join us aren't looking 100% either. I've told them all , "Oh well!", we're going without them. LOL
Hope your day is great!
--Casey
I am so ready to go. I need a vacation!
Darn, we had CMC and 'Ohana the same days and time but I had to switch them when I found the CRT breakfast. I had Park Fare booked too but I am thinking about dropping it. It will be OOP plus DH has never seen Alice in Wonderland or Mary Poppins, plus he hates the GF. Caitlin doesn't care either way and the replacement will be RFC in AK, which she might like better.
We'll be in EPCOT all of Sat. until we go to 'Ohana for dinner. Afterwards I will try to convince DH to go to EMH, but if not I bet Caitlin will come. I hope we run into you! Although it looks like the crowds this week are going to be much bigger than I excpectedso it might not be as easy as I thought.
Yeah, so much for no ADRs pinning us down. Oh well.
Bummer that your DH isn't going. Gives you a reason to go back though when he can go.
I amwith excitement for you! It is getting so close now! Your "final" plans are looking very good!!!
![]()
Congrats on getting closer to a final plan and being within "weeks" of your trip! How exciting!
I think you have a lot of great meals planned. I can't help on the Boma/Sanaa decision. I have been to Boma once back in 2005 and I thought it was OK. I haven't been to Sanaa, but I also can't stand Indian food so much of the menu turns me off. That said, the reviews are great.
have they changed the expected crowd levels? Guess I need to go check touring plans again.
Hope your sleeping gets back in order. I have been messed up too. I think the change in weather has something to do with it (plus growing Disney excitement!)
