Stink on the knee! So the exercise recommendations... will that delay the need for surgery for a long long time? Or just buy you some time?

It will only buy time.

Arriving Orlando, FL (MCO) at 09:56 AM


Saturday, December 17, 2011
Departing Orlando, FL (MCO) at 08:39 PM


It's EXACTLY the flights I wanted. Get in early, leave late, and waste not ONE minute of time!

Providing the flight lands on time, I should be to BWI around 11:30 which should give me about an hour to get the room decorated and over to San Angel for lunch.

It's going to be fun being Santa's elf!

Congrats on getting airfare

Speaking of room decor since Jenn has been in Disney WITHOUT me, we have ordered and picked up many of the items we were needed.

The Xmas lanyard I ordered for my mom came in form Santa
and I was able to fidn a Santa Mickey pookalooz and Xmas Minnie pookalooz on Ebay for $50 and free shipping, they are SUPER cute . I also found a fun Xmas pin on ebay for Mom and me so those should be here soon as well

Jenn was abel to pick up some basin bath products while in DTD which will be from Santa and she also picked up two christmas pins to go with mom's lanyard along with a vertical pouch for her things.

If people want I will post pick of lanyard when I get it all put together.

Other than that we need to cal the BWI for measurement so we (meaning Jenn) can get started on our table runners, she has been slacking off lately going to WDW without me. Who is with me on thinking she should have taken her sewing maching down in the car and made them there wince we all know she was right next to the BWI. I mean it would have saved me the trouble of having to CALL them.

HOORAY FOR AIRFARE!!!!

 

[kwitcherkicken99]

Twas the night before ADRs
And all through the country,
Each planner was planning
Every meal for their tummy.

E after work, and me after a shoot,
Sat down at the computer
To plot our next move.

When over the spreadsheet
Arose such a sight,
We had planned out each meal;
One, maybe two a night!

Settling in for the evening
it’s really close now…
Just one more sleep
until we make our ADRs!!!!! ​

Okay, so the last part doesn’t rhyme… but who cares!!!! We’re about to be making our dinner reservations for December! :dance:

I apologize for being MIA the past week. Whew! I’ve been keeping busy and the summer has no sign of letting up.

Here is our wish list for tomorrow morning:

Sunday – San Angel Inn ~ 1:00p (this will allow me to land, decorate the room, and make lunch)
Monday – Sci-Fi Dining ~ 5:15p
Tuesday – The Wave ~ 4:00p (this will allow for us to walk back to MK way ahead of 7p MVMCP start)
Wednesday – Teppan Edo ~ 6:30p
Thursday – Garden Grill ~ 6:30p
Friday – Crystal Palace ~ 8:05a; O’hana ~ 7:40p and if we time this right, will be able to catch the Christmas party fireworks from the Poly beach while enjoying a Dole Whip (mom’s not a fan of loud noises)

Good luck to you tomorrow! I hope you get all you want. I keep reading everyone saying their ADR day is tomorrow. I didn't realize how many people are checking in on 12/11!!!

I LOVE the poem! So cute. Todays the big day! Fingers crossed that you get everything you want.

They don't always come true!

Well… here is the new plan. Being that dining reservations at EP are very difficult to come by after the 15th (many, many restaurants are blacked out completely until the Candlelight Processional schedule is 100% set… ask me how I feel about that…), we have some “temporary” dining plans at EP. La Hacienda was unplanned and not completely set. We are still trying to get into Garden Grill on the 15th, but we won’t know about that for sure until at least August.

I feel really great about our choices and our ressies. I think we’ve done really great making sure to allow for plenty of time to get where we need to go. And if we get super hungry in between meals, we’ve always got our snack credits!!!

Touching back on some of our decorations… here are a couple pictures that I sent E from WDW when we were deciding on what to pick up!

I’ve still got some scrapping to do… and we’ve decided to actually wrap our front door on our arrival day! Closer to the holiday, we will start looking for wide, wire ribbon to wrap around the door. Then I’ll affix the GIANT tag to that and tie it up. Teehee!!! So fun!!!

Duffy Bear:

Pin set:

And yes, I’ll admit that I blew it. I SHOULD have run over to BWI for measurements… I just couldn’t get away the entire time we were on our trip. I think I will most likely do our sewing projects in August, when my schedule clears. I’m still hoping to get called for the State Fair again, but no luck as of now. The paper is keeping me SUPER busy too.

As per my weight loss… I dropped almost 8 lbs at WDW last week. I’m still a bit above my low point since I started this journey (and that was after a +10 lb relapse last month…) but I feel great! Which also reminds me... I need to change my ticker!

I filled my fridge with fresh veggies and fruits for the week – my fatal flaw was that I have loads of stuff to make salad… and no salad dressing. I’ll be making a stop at the store tonight after my meeting.

I’m trying to get caught up on everything… I’m very behind in my DISsing… I’ve got wedding photos and a portrait session to edit, then I can start on WDW and get my TR started!

Your ADRs look great. I am a bit frustrated about the CP package holding up a good amount of times.. but.. it gives me one more thing to obsess over so I guess it is not the end of the world.

You know, for our dates being so much the same...we don't share plans at all. I mean... on your tour day I also have plans to eat at WCC... but it is for breakfast. I didn't even look at the TP stuff to gauge what parks to go to. You make me think I should have. Hopefully the parks I have picked won't be too crowded. I guess there is always six month to tweak a bit more.

Basic rule of thumb for TP is to avoid the park with morning EMH and to avoid DHS on any night they have F!.

We followed the best park except for the last 2 days and I wish we would have stayed with TP's suggestions. MK and EP were super busy our last two days and it really weighed on the group at the end of the trip.

As for the actual crowd prediction numbers... I have a feeling they will change (increase) in the coming months.

Hmm.. I have been hearing that Fantasmic might be offered every night through the end of the year. I have heard that twice now. I can't imagine that WDW would do it... but if they did.. I think the rule for avoiding DHS might be hard.

 

[kwitcherkicken99]

I know it's being held every night for the summer as of now.

If that is the case for the end of the year, TP would choose it as the best park based on the 7 day rule... which means whichever day is predicted to be the lowest crowd-wise, will be the best day for DHS. They DO notate when a park is the best park per the 7 day rule.

I saw the changes in crowd prediction numbers yesterday and was so pumped! And then I had the same thought you did - bet they change the closer we get. Oh well, for now, I can pretend they have a shot at being 'lower' than a 9 or 10!

Just ready to make ADR's... get that out of the way.

 

[annmarieda]

Just thought I would let you know that even though yesterday there was no dinner ADRs available for LC or CR... I was able to book some today. Maybe GG has some that have opened up too

 

[kwitcherkicken99]

We squashed it. We're going to Cape May instead.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Nice looking ADRs....and it's nice that the parks are locked in for that day as well.
