When I left off we were headed to the international gateway towards the Boardwalk! The Boardwalk is my favorite place in WDW and I wanted to spend the rest of the night there. We went back to the car which was in the parking lot there and then headed back to the Boardwalk. We decided to eat dinner at the ESPN Club. I had eaten there before but keith hadnt. I got the nachos as my dinner and they were great just like last time, Keith got the chuck burger. After that we started to walk the Boardwalk and stopped to watch a magician who was performing. He was really good and all the kids around loved him! I really enjoyed it.

I love the Boardwalk at night! I wanted to check out Atlantic Dance Hall because thats where I would like to have our wedding reception in the future. Its free so we went in and it was dead as i heard it would be. I really love the inside though and I think it will be a great place for the reception. We only stayed like 10 mins since the music was so loud and there were only a few people in there. After we sat down on a bench and just enjoyed the moment.

I suggested we head over to beaches and cream for some ice cream and to my surprise Keith agreed! So we made our way over to the Beach Club (which is my fav WDW hotel). At beaches and cream we got chocolate ice cream to share. We sat at one of the tables outside to eat it.

Then we hung out on "my bench" which is in front of the yacht club. I call it my bench because in Jan 2009 when I was in WDW, it was where I decided that it was my favorite place in all of WDW. It was dark and the whole Boardwalk was lit up. The air was perfect and my sister and I just sat there while we waited for our dad to come pick us up. At that moment i just wanted to stay there forever and never leave!

I told Keith we needed to have a picture together on the bench but first he had to do his model pose above lol. Then of course we couldnt just be serious...

After that we headed back to the car and called it a night. This was probably my favorite night of the trip because we were at my favorite place and we just had so much fun together!

We discovered the wonders of The Boardwalk when we had a Dis-meet there in 2010 and it's now a must for us! I just love it there and we tend to have one meal there, go a little early or stay after and just enjoy the atmosphere!

Love the pictures!

Thanks! That's cool! I was very happy with that location since it was central to the main building, nearest pool and parking lot.

GUESS WHO IS PLANNING ANOTHER TRIP TO DISNEY!!

Yup, we are! It all started when I decided I need to get in shape and looked at the rundisney website to see what races they have. I def don't want to do anything crazy so when I saw the Expedition Everest Challenge which is a 5k, I got to thinking! I started doing a couch to 5k program last week which is going good so far! If you know me you know I am the last person to work out or basically do anything healthy lol. I've been feeling down about myself and we are going on a cruise this Jan and I want to be able to wear a bathing suit and not feel self conscious about it. So that is my motivation!

The Expedition Everest challenge looks perfect because you compete as a team of two so Keith and I can work together and he can help me train as he is very athletic already. It also has obstacles and a scavenger hunt as well! I am really excited but I just don't know yet if I can actually afford another trip next year. We already have two cruises planned and I am trying to save for our wedding (no, we arent engaged just yet) as well. Either way I am happy that so far I have followed through with training.

The race is on May 4th, 2013 and I would like to go for at least a week. I think we will split our stay at different hotels but im not sure which ones yet! I def wanna try something we havent done. So far I've stayed at All-star Sports, Pop Century & Port Orleans Riverside. I won't decide until probably after our cruise this Jan if the trip is definite but I am going to pretend it is! haha.

I will try to get an update up tomorrow or Monday. Hopefully I will have plenty of time since this crazy storm Sandy is going to hit sometime in the next day or so.

I'm so excited for you, even the thought of a future trip gives you the incentive to give up little things all year to make it happen, that's what we do and it's worked so far!

I am sad to hear you're a little down about yourself You are a beautiful, lovely, fun young lady and that's the most important thing. Don't forget that! I get the toning stuff and getting in shape but be kind to yourself honey...you're beautiful..inside and out!!!!

Hello again & Happy New Year! I feel terrible it has taken me so long to update but with the holidays and everything going on I couldnt find enough time to sit down and get this installment together. Keith and I are leaving in less than two weeks on our first cruise! We will be sailing on Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas! I am so excited to finally go on a cruise. We also booked the first part of our May Disney trip. We will be staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge!!! I rented DVC points for 3 nights for the first part of our trip since we are going to run the Expedition Everest Challenge (5K) on May 4th. We will probably stay at Art of Animation for the rest of the trip. Now on to the TR..

This was our last full day and we changed our plans a bit this morning. I had planned for us to spend the day at MK but Keith wanted to sleep in of course and we decided to sleep late do the pool and then head to AK. We went over to the computer pool around 10:50AM and layed out and swam a bit. Of course this day there were clouds everywhere and hardly any sun! We didnt last long at the pool for that reason so we went back to the room to get ready. We decided to drive over to AK. As we were walking in a couple that was walking out gave us their Expedition Everest FP's to use! They were good for 1:35-2:35 which i think was within an hour of when we walked in.

I had to beg Keith to stop and get some pics in front of the Tree of Life but he finally agreed!!

Haha his eyes are closed!

After that we browsed some of the shops and went over into Dinoland. We decided to ride Dinosaur as the wait wasnt too long. Here's our ride pic, we are in the front to the right..

We were hungry at this point, especially Keith who im pretty sure was whining about it lol. We stopped at Flame Tree BBQ so he could get a fruit plate (He eats too healthy in my opinion lol) and then I made him walk over to Pizzafari with me so I could get a pizza haha. After that we went over to Expedition Everest to use the FPs we got. I love this ride!! I can't wait until May because after we run our race there is an after party in AK and we can ride it over and over lol. Then we headed over to Africa. I wanted to do the safari but the wait was 65 mins! So instead I got a Mickey Bar lol. We sat for a bit..

After that we went through the Pangani trail. I love animals and I especially love watching the gorillas! i could stand there all day!

When Keith finally pulled me away from my photo shoot with the fellas above we headed over to see Festival of the Lion King. We both had never seen this show and I was very excited to finally see it! It really was a great show! By the time it was over it was pouring outside. We decided it was time to leave and made a run for it to the exit. On our way back we were hungry again so we stopped at McDonalds! Man those fries were good lol. Then we headed to the Boardwalk so Keith could get his gym time in and so I could spend more time at my favorite place!

I am going to end it here because photobucket isnt cooperating with me and I have a lot of Boardwalk pics to share! I probably won't get to the next update until after our cruise, its so soon!
