[shelbys mommy]

That's ridiculous!!!! People are so strange sometimes!

Whoo hoo!!!! Yay for 3 months!!!!

 

[DisneyFirefly]

Yay! I'm at 72 days! Possibly 71, though, as I may add on an extra day. Haven't decided yet

 

[taymacsmom]

Woot woot! 90 days

 

[WDWRocksMySocks]

Ooh, your itinerary looks great! Can I just tell you how jealous I am you get to do the F&W AND MVMCP...so fun!!!! The only thing I'd suggest is skipping a full breakfast on your Universal day. The crowds should be okay by then, but I'd still suggest getting their at least 30 minutes before the parks open. Although, if you're just doing IOA you should be okay.

And...WOO HOO about the weight loss. That's such awesome news!!!!

Yay!!! 3 months seems like it's so far...but it will be here before I know it! I can't wait for the fall! The summer drags because I hate the hot weather so much but the fall always speeds by.

Add a day on, why not? I did, remember? It's nice to have that extra day to squeeze a few more things in!

Woot woot! 90 days

Yay!!!

I'm so excited to do F&W and MVMCP in the same trip! I'm happy Food and Wine is going so late this year!

I will probably not do a full breakfast before Universal, that was just an idea of how I could fit Boma in...I'm playing around with my itinerary and ADR's, so we will see! I'm guessing we will just eat something quick at the resort and then go to Universal! We're doing both parks, not just IOA, so I definitely want to get there early!

And thanks about the weight loss! I'm nervous for this week...I feel like I did awful...I had a frappucino from Starbucks yesterday which was a bad idea, and I drank 2 of my DH's Mountain Dews when I've been SO good with not drinking soda! I hope I lost something, I've been exercising like crazy! We'll see on Saturday when I weigh myself!

Oh it will go by so fast! The last 10 days before you leave drags by soooooo slowly! I hate hot weather too, I can't wait for winter!

 

[therussells08]

That is so awesome! I can't believe you are down to three months!! Your trip will be here before you know it!!

Woot to 90 Days! It will go fast now!!!!!!!

 

[Nermel9]

Ugh I know, the last 10 days before the trip are the worst! Although, right now I'd rather be at 10 days than 90, but still, I'm sure the fall will be fun!

That is so awesome! I can't believe you are down to three months!! Your trip will be here before you know it!!

I know, I'm so excited! I'm going to make one of those chain link countdowns this weekend and hang it over my door in my bedroom, my DH thinks I'm being ridiculous, but I don't care, it's a fun thing to do to pass the time for the next 3 months!

Woot to 90 Days! It will go fast now!!!!!!!

I know, I can't wait!!! I really don't want to rush the fall like I did with the summer, but I can't wait to be back in WDW!!!

Now I'm rethinking the countdown chain...I might do something a little more simple than that, I don't know, but I'm definitely doing something this weekend!

ONLY 90 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yay for 90 days!

Woooo hoooo!!! Only 88 days now!

Good morning everyone! Happy Saturday!

As you guys probably know, I've been rethinking my itinerary a lot over the past week, and I've come up with some possible changes that I wanted you guys to comment on, if you think they are a good idea or not. They're actually only ADR changes, but I'm not sure if I should do them or not!

Anyway, currently I have us with no ADR's on Friday, 11/12 because I was planning on going to Epcot and just eating and drinking our way through the Food and Wine festival! Then the next day Saturday, 11/13, I have our breakfast ADR at Tusker House, then our Chef's ADR at Epcot for dinner at 5:10, THEN I have our Wishes Dessert party at 9 at MK! That's going to be a long day, with 3 ADR's!

So here's what I'm thinking instead-
Friday, have an early dinner at Chef's at Epcot at 4:40 (I already made this ADR just in case!), do some attractions after, then check out Food and Wine stuff if we are hungry again, which I'm sure we will be if we eat that early!

Saturday, cancel Tusker House and do breakfast at Boma instead. I REALLY want to go to Boma for breakfast this trip, I want to check out AKL, and I think I might like the breakfast at Boma a little better, I like the places that have the omelet stations, and Tusker House doesn't have that! IF I decide I have to do TH this trip, I could always add it in on Thursday, the morning that is free before MVMCP. I'm also doing Crystal Palce the next morning and I don't know if I want to do 2 character breakfasts 2 days in a row!

Then for Saturday night, I'd obviously cancel Chef's and we would just snack on Food and Wine stuff, like we were planning to do on Friday instead. That might not be good enough for my DH, but we can always do a CS dinner if he's absolutely starving! I just don't think I want to do a huge dinner after 5:00 knowing I have the Wishes dessert party after, I don't want to have paid all that money for the dessert party, only to not be able to eat anything!

Oh and the next night, Sunday, is when I'm not sure what we are doing yet, possibly DHS for Osborne lights and Fantasmic, but IF we do Fantasmic, I was thinking of heading over to MK again...they have extra magic evening hours again, til 11 and I need to see the castle all lit up and beautiful as much as I possibly can!!

So what do you guys think, should I go ahead and make these changes? They are nothing major but I think they make more sense than what I have now.

In other news...I lost .5 pounds this week! I know, not even a whole pound, but hey, it's better than nothing, I'll take what I can get! I would have liked to have lost a little more, but I cheated a lot this week, I think they only thing that saved me was the fact that I exercised a LOT, I went for walks at work as much as I could, then I would come home and exercise again most days.

I'm also going to figure out some kind of countdown calendar for my trip, since I only have 88 days to go! I wanted to do a chain, but that might be too much for just me! When I figure out what I'm doing, I'll post pictures!

Have a great weekend everyone!

 

[TinkerbellLuvr7]

sounds like some crazy changes (but not really!) Were you planning on going to a park before MVMCP?? If so, I guess you could add TH that day but we never go to a park the day of MVMCP..we use it as a day off..

..in that case if you aren't going to a park before the party, I would add Boma that day as it won't require you to use a park day to go there and keep TH for the day that you will be at a park!!

Hope that helps??

I have not eaten at TH before but had friends that I worked with at AK that loved it. I ate at Boma in Dec 2009 and ended up with food posioning so..you can see what my thoughts are about that one haha

Congratulations on another .5 pound. It's hard after you lose the first few and you are doing great!

I like your new plans. I think three ADR's in one day is too much. And I really think you should skip Tusker House and do Boma. You are going to LOVE Boma (especially the juice) and this way you can see AKL.

 

[Nermel9]

As of now, we're not going to a park before MVMCP but I don't really know what we're doing that day, I just left it open in case we wanted to rest or whatever, but since it's our 2nd to last day there, I'll probably drag us to a park!

I'm sorry you had a bad experience at Boma! I've heard nothing but good things about it! I'm also really interested in breakfast at Kona now!

Congratulations on another .5 pound. It's hard after you lose the first few and you are doing great!

Thanks! I'm just happy I lost anything, I really thought I'd stay the same or gain this week, I drank so much soda this week, ugh, gotta do better next week!

3 ADR's is definitely too much, but I have to talk to DH and see what he thinks. I don't know if he will be ok with skipping dinner that night because of the Wishes dessert party, but like I said, he can always get some counter service somewhere.

I think I'm definitely going to do Boma, like I said, I've heard nothing but good things about it, and I want to see AKL and that will be the perfect time!

I'm not going to start a new post for this, but I wanted to let you guys know, I'm not at 88 days today. Today is officially 90 days for me. I got all confused the other day and forgot that August and October have 31 days so I assumed on the 12th that it was 90 days. Ughhhhh! I just set myself back 2 days!!! Oh well!

Again, woo hoo, 90 days!!!

 

[therussells08]

Hey, 90 days is still pretty darn good!

I think that switching Chefs from Saturday to Friday is a good idea. That way your are not overwhelmed with ADRs on Saturday. I think if you eat Chefs that early you will still have plenty of room for some F&W treats!

Congrats on the .5 pounds! Being able to not only keep off what you've lost but lose a bit more is awesome!

I say go for Boma for breakfast! That juice sounds yummy... We are doing Boma for dinner one night because John really wants to see AKL.

 

[shelbys mommy]

Yay for 90 days again! LOL!
