Well, the sun is out and I'm going to start doing some spring cleaning. I can't say I won't be in here, periodically, through the day, but I'm not very optimistic for any news this week. Sorry. :sad2:
 
Saw it, Loved it! Would like to see it again. Exceeded my expectations! I have a lunch at BOG. Last year we had it on day one and I think we rushed to get out to the park
You know, I wasn't going to do anything at BOG, because I don't particularly care for their menu but after seeing the movie, I have to do it! I'm going to try for it, but I may be too late now.
 
So, here it is another Monday morning and nothing! :offtopic:When I got home yesterday I posted that I saw Beauty and the Beast, and didn't hear back from anyone, as to whether you all have seen it? I loved it, was totally captivated by it, and it put me right in Disney, wishing I had booked BOG for a meal. Has anyone in here seen it? Opinions?

We saw it last week and loved it! Definitely made me want to keep trying for BOG dinner.
 

Definitely can relate to this! I'm going to buy the DVD when it comes out, definitely a keeper. And talk about putting you in the Disney Spirit! The scenes were beautiful...I want to go live in the castle!
I'll visit you in the castle, I'll be living in Belle's house. pixiedust:
 
KimBean stay away then because-spoiler-they autotuned her voice. As a kid growing up with disney musicals they often used the best singer for a role or dubbed a someone else singing over the actress. They seemed to go with a different set of characteristics for Belle, but I didnt think she did a poor job-I just wish they would have dubbed in a better singer rather than autotuning Watsons voice.
 
I can totally relate to your struggle. I lost all my weight last year and put back on most of it, as is typical for me. Vacations are the hardest...and FD is just so incredibly bad for the dieter. Still, just because it's free doesn't mean you have to overindulge, it just makes it so much harder. I have no good answers. Being hungry all the time is simply part of my life. Sorry for the "boo hoo's"....it's just so hard.

Thanks. I don't find I am hungry much at all, but it's so important to be careful what I eat. If I add sugars and simple carbs back in, my brain wants it all the time. To stay satisfied I have to keep them out of my diet.

I saw it several weeks ago. I loved it. My DH, not so much. Too much music for him. :rolleyes1

I actually like Emma Watson (HUGE HARRY POTTER FAN), and I did think she was cute as Belle, but come on, it's a musical get a singer!! I imagine they knew she would be a big draw and her clout allowed her to dictate the terms.

We really loved it as well. And I had forgotten how excited I was to eat at BOG after I saw the movie. I thought Watson was lovely. I couldn't picture her in the role, but when I saw it, it made sense.
 
Yep. I am pretty inflexible about things unfortunately. I need a standard or garden view room at a mod (not going above that) and my dates are set. Also I am pretty sure I don't want CBR. So that limits me a great deal. So then that leaves me renting points or offsite. There are pro's and cons to each.

I'm reallly waffling.. Anyone want to hear why? I mean we're just sitting here waiting anyway:rotfl:

I am working REALLY hard on Weight Watchers and working out to lose weight. I had 50 pounds to lose:sad2: and I am down 15!!! I'll be down 25 or 30 by our trip at this rate. To that end, Free Dining is just a bad idea. It's too much food, and I will have to fight to make decent choices at every single restaurant. I have to do that in everyday life but I do anticipate that being difficult going to two restaurants a day.

It's not a matter of just going on vacation and worrying about it when I get back. I have to make a lifestyle change and I just don't want to reintroduce high fat/sugar food. So that has me worried. But we missed being onsite and dining in all of the restaurants and I know the rest of my family would enjoy it. So if I can get the promo in the room I want, it's a big money saver and I would muddle through and pre plan and do my best.

Our budget is pretty set in stone, but I could go with a room offer, or rent a DVC studio, keep my foods in the room, and pay OOP .So then I could stay somewhere like the Beach Club and have access to the gym. Or rent points at OKW and have the kitchenette.

Then there is Bonnet Creek where I would have a full kitchen and that gives me full control over what I eat. I can eat well and we could still go out one meal a day and save quite a bit.

So this very long winded post is to say they need to release this promo so I can narrow down my choices before things sell out (like renting points or getting my week at Bonnet Creek). Ideally I want onsite with a full kitchen but that is astronomically out of the budget.
Congrats!! Keep up the good work! You will find a solution that works best for you and FD may not be it this year. You'll still have a great time :thumbsup2
