Kidnap the Sandy Claws, lock him up real tight- Oct PTR pg. 234 8/25 up to date itin

[Native NYer]

I know he needs to plan! He's bananas.

I will totally help you plan. Disneyland is truly amazing during the holidays and I'll live through planning your trip. It's official for now, no Disneyland for Christmas/Hanukkah. Hanukkah is early this year and M wants to take Joshua to SF for the Raiders/Broncos game. The girls are getting to see One Direction next month so it's only fair, right? I told him I have to make GCV reservations stat and it's a no go. If I didn't have to borrow to get a reservation I'd make it and then stay within the cancelation parameters but if I borrow and cancel then I'm toast. With only 170 points, I don't have any to spare.

I tried to see GCV availability, but it's too early. I wish there weren't any penalties with borrowing points!

I'm hoping crowds at DLR aren't as bad as WDW, but I know I'm dreaming

Book your return flights yet?

OMG That would be AMAZING! We're going December 22-27. Thanks a bunch

 

[Missy13d69]

Your trip sounds amazing!

I thought I was a loon when I started planning 14 months in advance, but after reading your 17 month plan, I'm pretty sure Disney planning should take a loooong time!

I just logged into the member site and they are down for maintenance! I will try tomorrow. What size room are you looking for?

It seems like it's down a lot! Our dues definitely don't go to site maintenance!

Studio. And thank you again!

Ooh thanks for the heads up. I need to go check it out!!

My return flights are booked It's my outbound that aren't. Remember we've got the 15 seater puddle jumper from MCO to Pennicola and then a bigger plane to SLC. All on United. Wish me luck! I've been searching return flights and then finally realized, I booked them. So now I've got daily searches for both Oct 13 and 14. Hoping the 13th comes in cheaper and with better flight times. Still having a mind block with AoA for the night but I'll get over it.


Now that I've got this extra day on our hoppers I was counting on, I've been reworking a few different scenariors as far as which parks, doing both water parks, etc etc......

Aren't you at your 100 day mark? Are you all finished planning?

Missy! I'm a total loon. Ive been planning this forever or so it feels surreal to be within 6 months.

When are you going? What have you got planned?

OMG That would be AMAZING! We're going December 22-27. Thanks a bunch

Jen meet Alison. Alisonis cool peeps.

How's Fran feeling?

I tried to log on twice last week and found the same thing. It's a total headache!

160 days until WDW!!! ​

I'm thinking of trying to change to Jambo.

 

[Native NYer]

Ohhhh ok. So you're trying to look for good flight times TO MCO.

Today is 98 days!!! And I'm not even close to being done with planning. I'm actually reconsidering resorts. I need to just step away from the DVC site and do something else.

Kidani to Jambo? Is it available?

 

[DrMomof3]

That's great that the bar mitzvah was nice.
Poor Chloe! Is she sick or was it stress-related?

I'm going to try to run early in the morning at least one week-day. My weekend run is usually early anyway. I miss runs because my day gets crazy and I get home late and use that as an excuse.

Changing resorts? I'm shocked. From where to where?

I know, the site makes me rethink everything. I just need to be good. Some nights are available but I started a thread in the DVC section and am remembering why I chose Kidani. Both were open and when I made the reservation Kidani was my solid choice. I only know Jambo so familiarity always wins points with me.

Amanda

It was sick sick not stress sick. She's actually a pretty mellow kid, moreso than the other two for sure. A free thinker. She said her throat was hurting and she had a slight headache so my first thought was allergies. She ate last night, showered this morning, and looks a little better. She's got like no body fat and can't afford to lose any weight. Gab woke up all stuffy with a raging heading but no upset stomach. Not sure what were passing around? They all got to skip Hebrew school today so they're pretty stoked about that.


Sounds like a great plan. How early is early? I find all kinds of excuses and while they're all valid, they're still excuses. I lost 40 lb and have kept it off over the last 3 years and have zero plan on going back. But exercise is my nemesis aside from walking and yoga. I need to firm up badly. I'm thin enough but I'm mushy. It's always something.


Happy Sunday! I'm going with my GF to get a pedicure while DH fixes brunch. It's her *thank you* for helping with the kids while we were in Vegas. Love her!

Enjoy your days everyone.

Jen meet Alison. Alisonis cool peeps.

How's Fran feeling?

Jen! I'll try to check again for you once I'm on the computer.

Thanks for the compliment.

Fran is still asleep, she does a lot if that now. However, she has been keeping off her feet and elevating the leg. I hope they get her back on the wound vac tomorrow and the Dr finds good progress Wednesday. I really hope we don't have to cancel our trip that overlaps with yours!

 

[DrMomof3]

Sorry for the sickies! My kids only have a few more weeks of Hebrew School and I know they'll be happy about the summer break....

Early is very early. I typically get up at 5:30am at least 3 days a week. I'd have to get up at 5am to run for 30 minutes before getting ready for work. I gained 10+ lbs training for my marathon and can't lose it. NOT muscle - muffin top is definitely not made of muscle.

Well right now all five nights are available in all Villa types except the Grand Villas.

Hoping for good news for you both. Are the meds making her sleepy or the infection, both? Are you still planning your jaunt to the GCV? You deserve to treat yourself.


I hope you don't have to cancel too. I'd love to meet, grab a drink. October is still 5 months away. Sending , Ativan, healing vibes, and whatever else it takes. I'm glad she's following the doc's treatment plan for healing!

That's early. I'm up that early too. Do you treadmill run that early or outside? I should exercise at that time but I generally opt for cofffee and getting a couple loads of laundry done. Excuses, excuses! I know

No, I'm afraid my muffin top isn't muscle either. It's 43 y/o skin with zero elasticity. It's so not fair. I want the brain I've got now with the body I had in my 20's. We get to be hot when we don't know what to do with it or appreciate it.

Checking dates just makes me want to book something the weekend of the 16th. M is set to take Joshua to a Raiders game and it would be so sad and unfair if the girls and I just sat here.





M and I were talking and we'd love to do Hawaii next year for our 20th, sans kids! Oahu isn't his favorite island, Maui is, but it makes NO sense not to stay at Aulani, right? He said Oahu is cool but crowded.

 

[DrMomof3]

It depends on the weather. I'm a wimp so treadmill if super cold or raining (30F is my lower limit).
Since my 40th birthday the weight loss is harder!

I'm 43. I hear ya. Everything falls too.


30*? You're far more brave than I am! 50* is my limit for walking outdoors. I think I need to get my thyroid checked. I'm always cold.

Probably a combination of everything. Which jaunt, do you mean? the ride a few rides and then have lunch and get massages? We are still planning on it!

I've canceled my last two WDW vacations! I REALLY hope that I don't have to cancel the next one. I hope that we can meet and stroll through a few booths at the F&W festival together. She has Ativan, but the healing vibes are appreciated! Yeah finally she is putting the leg up instead of running around ignoring how serious the injury is.

I'm only a few years older than you and I wish I had my hot body of my 20s with my knowledge I have now. No matter what I eat, I never lose weight. If I didn't have that darned wine cellar with 400 bottles of perfectly aged wine, I would probably not have such a hard time losing weight! That and all the dinners I keep posting about on my PTR!

I totally agree about the 40th birthday, but 30F We don't go out of the house if it's under 50 unless totally necessary!!!!! I'm not sure that it's gotten under 30 here unless it is a total anomaly!

That's the jaunt I mean. It sounds fabulous!

Hopefully you'll get some good news this week on her healing pogress.

I'm so excited for F&W. I ended up making some ADRs just in case but am thinking we may not need or want them. I just don't want to get caught without them if everyone decides they're famished. The Eat to the Beat line up has been announced. Now just waiting for the culinary experiences to be released.

I'd wear 15 extra lb to attend those dinners of yours. Seriously. Wow, that's a big wine cellar! Is it in your home?

I used to be a So Cal girl too. 50* almost seems balmy after 19 years in Utah. It was 68* yesterday and I was on the deck in a tank top and shorts.

159 days until WDW!!! ​

 

[rentayenta]

158 days!!! ​

Jenny, we're doing Maui & Oahu sometime in 2013.
