Ohana breakfast is great! That was one of our favorites last trip.

Since we are doing such a last minute trip, we decided no ADRs this time. Well in 24 hours that's changed. I booked Via Napoli & I'm looking for a Beaches & Cream. I've been dying to go there so DH said to go for it. If I don't get my ADR date for our Nov trip opens up next week so I can try to get it for then.

@peace_all wow that's a ton of resorts but pretty cool that you get to try them all.

Thanks, its crazy, but super excited to try some new ones. Keep an eye out for Beaches & Cream they do come up for cancellations, you may also be able to get in and sit at the counter without one depending on your party size. Fingers crossed you will be able to get it!

Just changed our flights and added a day to the beginning of our stay! So excited that we get to fly out of our "local" (hour and a half away) airport instead of 3 hour away airport. Sacrificed a direct flight but since It is just DH and I, it will work!

 

[Dizn3y Dad]

Anyone going to the tomorrowland terrace desert party on July 25th?

 

[Ferrentinos]

I'm not going that day - but am going July 7

 

[ThistleMae]

We are not staying onsite this year, first time. So having a car is like carrying around a giant purse...LOL. Trying to figure out how we will use transportation and considering whether we would want to try express pass. My daughter, a yearly visitor to Disney in the summer is laughing at me. I hate the heat and we are going the end of July. She doesn't think I can do it. We are trying to plan a family graduation trip for next summer and she keeps telling me lets wait and see how you do. She said some days were so hot they were crying real tears. It kind of scares me a little. But I'm trying to plan to pace myself, drink lots of water and find places to sit if I get too hot. Is it that unbearable in the summer?

No it is not that unbearable. BUT I know my mom and there is no way she could do FL heat in the summer. She hates being hot and was talking last week of leaving CT for northern ME because it was too warm here LOL. Know yourself, take care of yourself and pop into the AC if you need to. Or stay inside and enjoy things like The Seas or all of the exhibits in Epcot after the attractions, go to Hall of Presidents or Carousel of Progress, catch the breeze on the PeopleMover.

 

[karalecia26]

Since we have added a day last night, it ended up being our fast pass day so I made my initial fast passes and went back in this morning and adjusted what we wanted and for the times I wanted. Easily got everything we wanted and now onto waiting for the next 59 days to go by! We are in the midst of baseball season though and end of school year stuff so it is going to go faster than we even think! Maybe need to start thinking about packing!

 

[dpswift]

I'd love to take it. I need 4 but I may be able to add one later.

I am sorry it has taken so long to get back I am working 2 jobs and totally forgot that I posted this. I do not think that they have tables for 3 at Beaches so you should be fine making it for 4

 

[dpswift]

I have the day (until 5 pm) off from work so I decided to start getting things together. Due to working 2 jobs I have managed to lose about 15 pounds so I do not think I will need to buy any clothes outside of 1 or 2 $5 t shirts from Target. I do need to get some shorts for DS however

No problem. I'll message you so we can coordinate.

Yay for losing lbs but not for the extra work stress. I'm on day 29 of the Whole 30. I'm not sure what I'll do after that but I want to lose a little more before our trip. I don't own any shorts and want to buy a couple of pairs for our trip. I'm going to hold off to see if I go down a size.

Good work on making it through the Whole 30. I am terrible with that type of thing.

I seem to do better when something is really strict so it leaves no room for cheating. If I get a little lead way, I divert even further. But I'm not sure I want to commit to another 30 days. I would like to take this weekend off but not go completely crazy then reevaluate.

A short break might be a good idea. My concern is gaining it all back at Disney

 

[dnllmz]

I actually do well at Disney because of all of the walking. I'm looking forward to eating a No Way Jose this trip, thanks to you!!! My problem is when I get back from Disney but continue to eat like I'm in Disney without doing all the walking. That was my problem after our Dec trip last year. I continued to eat all of the food after Disney, during the holidays, and through tax season (stress eating). Hopefully the fact that I need to wear a bathing suit all summer keeps me from eating all of the food when I get back from vacation.

I usually get the No Way Jose, but treat it as a meal.

Dairy, protein and fruit (if you get a cherry on top) - sounds like a nice well rounded meal! But this comes from the lady who thinks Mickey Bars are a perfect morning snack at Disney. At home I'm all about yogurt and oatmeal!
