***Official November 2013***

[FigmentChick]

Down to 107 days today!!! My family & I played Disney Scene It last night....of course, cheating ensued (they wouldn't give me credit for one of my answers! lol) But we had lots of fun and started discussing the packing list. My kids are actually shocked that I don't have more packed.

Today I shopped for some "vacation" clothes... End of season sales are the best... But one of the items was a bathing suit...EEEEEkkkkkk!!!
So here's hoping for nice weather during our month and to losing 5 more lbs!!!!

LOL I feel the same way! I don't like wearing one in my own yard, let alone at a resort with a bunch of people! Trying my best to keep losing all the 'baby weight' ......my son turns 2 next week!!!! lol

I am so with you both on this.....to the point that I wear board shorts while swimming (in the ocean or the pool). I've never been able to loose the weight from when Kyle (who just turned 12) was born. Not to get too TMI, but I was on a medication for several years after he was born that not only prevented me from loosing any weight, but it made me gain a little as well. I know I need to exercise, but I just can't seem to find the time. I need to give myself motivation: like a Dooney & Bourke bag if I loose 10 pounds.

Don't forget the old navy store has lots of disney shirts. I got me some last night

I did, too!!! But when I went to the local store, they were all sold out of the sizes I needed, so I ordered them online. I bought a Pluto one for myself and the Mickey American ears for myself and my daughter. I can't wait to wear them on our trip!!!

Hi FigmentChick - That sounds like a great idea, PM me and we will check our park schedules and see what matches up!! Thanks - first trip - little nervous!!

I'm glad you think it's a good idea! And it's ok to be nervous.....heck, I'm still nervous and this is our fifth family trip (6th for me and hubby). A little later (when I'm not preparing financials), I will post what days we will be in what parks. The first six are nailed down, but the last three are a "let's see what we feel like doing"; although, we always end up in Epcot.

Talk to you all soon!!!

I always wanted to play scene it and have yet to do so . My kids are little so we play candy land alot!! Lol.
I like your motivational idea for losing weight! Lol! I would much rather have a dooney bag then any bathing suit! Lol. I'm not a swimmer at all but my kids are water rats. I'm happy with sitting in the shade with some adult happy drink! I do hope whatever health issues you did have are better now. Happy and healthy is all that matters

Hi all! So now I have to decide if I want to hassle with a split reservation to get FD for part of the trip. We are arriving on the 9th so we would do a room only for 9-11 and a a package for 11-16. We are planning to do DTD on Saturday the 9th. We may just do a waterpark on Sunday or resort hop and hang out at POR. My only concern is the checking out/checking in on the 11th. We have a crystal palace ADR for 8:10. I read on all ears.net that you can check in at 6 am. So I guess my plan of action would be to be at the front desk at 6 am and get our package added to our KTW card. I just worry that there will be some mix up or we would have to change rooms. We are staying at POR and I will fax a request to stay in the same room for the whole stay and hope for the best. Anybody else going to split their reservation to get FD?

LOL I hear you! His 1st birthday was Toy Story. Disney love all around! Lol No, we will be arriving the 27th. We drive down from NJ and are leaving early A.M. the 26th and stopping in GA on the way down. I hope you have a great trip!

Thank you so much for your kind words! Well, no health issues to speak of, really....I was on a medication to not get preggers (Amy and Kyle are Irish twins and I'm one of those people that get pregnant at the drop of a hat). Unfortunately, conventional methods didn't work, so I was put on a high-dose injection right after Kyle was born and I just never lost all that baby weight.
But, I'm thinking a D&B bag would look soooo much better than new clothes! LOL

We will be at POR Nov 23-Dec 1. My mother will be joining as well on her first trip to WDW.

I will make sure I get you on the first post (probably tomorrow morning). I love POR...the ambiance and food court are awesome.


As for the free dining offer: I am so happy for everyone that will be able to participate!

So if the FD rumor dates are true I am coming to roost here in the Nov 2013 thread. After making our giant countdown calendar I am not letting them in on any date changes at this point so if we go in Noember that part will be a surprise

 

[CaraMiaBelle]

Well, it looks like I will be joining you all.
We had planned for the first week in December hoping for FD then, since that clearly didn't work out, I had to look into alternate plans that would offer FD. Our tentative plans are now 11/15-11/24 at POR. Honestly though, I think I'm starting to like these plans better as it doesn't appear that it will be much more crowded than my original dates, plus it will be warmer!

I agree, except for not having Ohana, I am fine with it.

So I was looking to try a restaurant I never tried before and made an ADR for Raglan Road. If Ohana pops up I will switch it (or maybe drop the Chef Mickey I picked up), but I think DH would really like it there. Anyone here ever been?

I will lose Ohana too with the change. : ( I have no idea which ressies I will be able to get now. My sister went to Raglan Road back in January and said it was in her top 2 meals. Never been to Chef Mickey, I've always heard good things, not sure if that is due to the characters or the food though.

Welcome to everyone!!! Glad the free dining is working out, but I'm sorry for those that haven't been able to get Ohana. Just keep trying - sometimes you can get it right before your trip.
