I'll be watching for discounts as well...We are planning the 16 to 21st...so close the Thanksgiving, I'm sure we won't get lucky enough for much....but will take ANYTHING.
this is a great bunch of ppl 
My dream is to run the Princess half-marathon someday! Maybe we'll run into each other someday!
mommyof3princess27, let me encourage you! You are doing a highly respectable thing by going at this the hard way! I know, as I am a "runner" (been running for 1.5 years now), and so I know how hard it is to spend those 35-40 minutes on running when you have so many other things you could do (I'm a working mom, not sure about you, so my personal time is very valuable). For instance, when I've cooked dinner, done laundry, helped with homework, and seen my son to bed (he's 12, so not much to do but put that motherly stamp on the day's end), then at 9:00p or 9:15p, I'm out the door to run my three miles when I'd much rather sit myself down in front of the TV and chill! So, give yourself kudos for the mental toughness it takes to have control over your body!! Plus, just think of the killer calves you'll have...you can't those from a bottle
Sending encouragement your way
that is encouraging. I wanna run in a half marathon eventually. Im still a little slow right now lol. Ill get there though. I know in the end my way will be the best. Just gotta keep doing it 
My family is still trying to decide if we should spend next Thanksgiving at WDW. We'd love to go and spend our time at The Wilderness Lodge but now that the new Animation Resort is opening, the kids want to go there too. Decisions, decisions!! I just want to be there and be able to have Thanksgiving dinner and maybe see the Osborne Lights and the castle decorated in the icicle lights! For right now, we are not booked but if my oldest daughter has her way we will be by the weekend
Count me in!!!
POR 11/3-11/10/12
Can't wait to book! REALLY hoping for some deals! Maybe even free dining like they have this year!
we are staying at POR but arriving when you leave 
This will be our first visit to WDW and are very excited. We are also staying at POR because we are a family of 5 and need the extra bed. This is such a WONDERFUL thread...its like having a planning buddy. I only made it through the first couple pages and thought I should post, so now I'm going back to the beginning.
we can support each other. I am proud of you for doing it the right way. I KNOW in the long run, the right way will be better. It isnt as frustruating now to me as it was this morning. I think it gets to me when my friend throws it in my face. I should be happy for her but I am not sure. Today, she said she ate a nutragrain bar for brkfst, grapes for lunch and a small salad for dinner. Not enough cals. SHe really doesnt exercise. Its gotta be a balance. One thing that I do do is I log all my calories. I was thinking about WW BUT its pricey. I decided to try just writing down what I eat so I can be accountable. I use my fitness pal . com (without the spaces lol) and its free. It has all the cals, fat and carbs for just about all food we eat everyday. It tells you how much to eat to lose weight based on height/weight. I 
it. And it works if you have the drive and support Im here for you. Even if its just through the computer. 
Hello Everyone~
We will be going Nov. 11-17
We are gonna be at POR that same time! We are also a family of 5!!! We are all so excited to plan! I think right now we are all killing time till our 1 year date hits-then the real planning begins! We took our first trip last year-Im no expert lol BUT we all will help you as much as we can! 
Happy planning If you click on my ticker or anyones, itll take you to the site and you can create your own countdown Oh my gosh, I'm so excited. DH, 2DD's, a grandma, a grandpa, and me -- just booked for a 9 day trip starting November 23, 2012. Already thinking about what and when to see, eat, and do. I love the anticipation. First time visiting in Christmas season and can't wait to experience all the holiday stuff and decorations. Anyone been this time before? Will weather be ok for swimming?
Hey ya'll.
I read earlier in the thread that FD for November 2011 didn't come out until Augustand my overplanning self would *definitely* have to have airfare booked way before then. I would be a ball of nerves if I waited until August to book airfare and the trip!
OMG! Thats my goal too! I am going to aim for a 5k first.
I'm hoping to do a 5K first also, but right now I'm so out of shape that I have a long way to go. I'm hoping by the spring I'll be ready. We have the Susan G Komen 5K every spring so I'd love to do that one. I might have to check out fitness pal to see how I like it. I admire your dedication to running every night. It's really difficult to motivate myself to go exercise at 8:00 after the kids have gone to bed, but you are doing it!! Keep up the awesome work. I'm really thinking about going in November 2012 (not sure which week yet) with my brothers family but I really need free dining to be able to do this!

Although I priced out airfare for November 2011 and it was cheap!
Anywho this is semi-daydreaming planning so far.
I'll be watching for discounts as well...We are planning the 16 to 21st...so close the Thanksgiving, I'm sure we won't get lucky enough for much....but will take ANYTHING.
We're good at that!Count me in!!!
