Once Upon a Christmastime! A Nov. 2010 PTR! *Update 12/12, Disney Blues, pg 61! :( *

Well I'll give it a try whenever I can get into that room! I hate running, I can run for maybe 30 seconds at a time, so we'll see how it goes!

Thanks, I think my DH is feeling better today. He took the day off just to rest and seems ok, but who knows?

That's exactly how I am. I can speed walk and I can sprint, but actually running? Nope, not happening. I also have klutzy tendencies, and once sprained my foot by tripping over the other one just walking out of a vacant room at the Boardwalk while I was still working there!

I do like the program, though. I love that it lets you customize it. The boxing is quite fun

November is THE best time to go to WDW, in my opinion, great weather and no crowds, and the Christmas decorations are amazing!!! Have you been in November before?

YAY!

I hit 79 days today Believe me, I totally understand how you feel about needing a vacation and some pixie dust

I wish I was at 79 days!!! I'll settle for 99, at least I'm out of the hundreds but there's still a LONG way to go!

Yeah I definitely need a vacation...and some pixie dust would be nice too! It will be nice to have a week to worry about absolutely nothing!!!

Good morning everyone!

I've been planning this trip for months now, and this PTR has been going on for just as long, and I realized that I haven't posted my itinerary yet! I've been holding off because I know as soon as I post it, something will be changing, I'll be moving around ADR's, but for now, this is it:

Friday, November 12, Arrival Day:
Leave Hartford at 7:00am
Arrive in Orlando at 10:05
Grab our luggage and rental car and arrive at POR around 11ish, and hopefully, since I will have checked in online, our room will be ready!

Once we are settled in, we will head to Epcot for F&W all night!

Saturday, 11/13
Breakfast at Tusker House at 8:35, wander around AK for a while!
Dinner at Les Chef's de France at 5:10, explore more of the F&W festival.
Wishes Dessert party at 9, MK extra magic hours til 1am

Sunday, 11/14
Breakfast at Crystal Palace at 8:25
No dinner ADR's yet, not sure if I want to do Fantasmic that night or not, it's the only night we'd be able to see it. If not, we will probably go to DTD and eat there.

Monday, 11/15
Epcot in the morning
Dinner at Mama Melrose's at 5:25, DHS extra magic hours til 10!

Tuesday, 11/16
Universal Day! I have no ADR's at all, but I'm considering Boma for breakfast before we go to Universal...not sure yet!

Wednesday, 11/17
MK in the morning, (hopefully rope drop, so I can finally see the little ceremony!)
Lunch at LTT at 12
Possibly extra magic hours at AK until 8

Thursday, 11/18
Nothing planned for the morning yet, again, I might do breakfast at Boma this day since I really want to see AKL!
Dinner at Ohana at 5:00
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas party from 7-12!!!

Friday, 11/19
DHS in the morning (again, hopefully rope drop!)
Lunch at Sci Fi at 12:25
Dinner at Le Cellier at 7:15
Epcot extra magic hours til 12! Our last night in Disney!

Saturday, 11/20
Leave Orlando at 8:45
Arrive in Hartford at 11:20

That is my itinerary for the week! Now that I'm looking it over, I'm not sure I'm happy with it...I don't like having 2 character breakfasts 2 days in a row, I don't like that I'm going from Monday to Friday with no Epcot in between (I LOVE Epcot, it's my favorite park, so I have to be there as much as possible!). I might have to play around with this a little until I'm a little happier with it, but I still have 3 months and 5 days to figure it out so I'm not going to stress about it now!

In other news, I lost 2.5 pounds this week!!! So, all together, since I started in July, that means I have finally lost 5 pounds!!! I should be buying myself a Disney shirt, but I'll consider the one I just bought my 5 pound reward and wait til the next 5 to buy another one! I'm happy I lost 2 weeks in a row, that means I'm finally doing something right!

Have a great Saturday everyone!

 

[KatMark]

Itinerary looks great! And on the 2.5 pounds this week.

 

[therussells08]

Great itinerary! I'm excited to hear if you make any changes, though!

CONGRATS on the weight loss! I'm so happy for you!

Thanks guys! I'm actually really rethinking some of my itinerary now that I've really looked it over, a lot of it is bothering me, so I'm considering making a few ADR changes! I'm going to need some help with the changes though, because I don't know if I should move things around or not, right now I'm just seeing what's available still, when I see what I can do, I'll let you guys know and maybe you can advise me!

And I think, instead of getting a shirt for my next 5 pounds, I might buy myself something different...something a bit more expensive!

Ugh...so I basically just slept my Sunday away, which annoys me because I got nothing done and I didn't even get to enjoy the day! All I did was clean out a huge drawer with a bunch of stuff in it, and then go grocery shopping, where I could barely keep my eyes open! It's probably because yesterday was such a nice day, 70's and not humid at all, and now we're back to high 80's and humid, which I can't handle anymore! The summer needs to be over!

Anyway, the reason I'm telling you guys that I slept all day is because I had this weird dream about POR, where we are staying! I guess we checked in and got a first floor room in my dream, and then it started pouring, and the water started coming in the room and this huge puddle formed and I started freaking out, and telling Brandon we had to go ask for a different room! It was terrible! I hope that can't ever happen, that would be awful! I also hope it's not a bad sign!

 

[therussells08]

I hate it when I sleep a lot on the weekends too! I get so angry at myself because I feel like I'm wasting my free time. But sometimes you just need to catch up on some rest!

Haha, what a strange dream! I'm sure it's not a bad sign about your trip. And if that ever did happen at POR I'm sure Disney would make it up to you by upgrading you to WL!

 

[HeatherBelle614]

I think we're all just starting to over-analyze our plans!! Must stop one another!!!

I think everything looks great!! Hopefully I'll have some F&W tips for you before you leave!

Congrats on the weight loss!!! You'll get there, I know you will!

I owe you an email tomorrow too, I promise! Today has been terribly long with my LSAT stuff. I'm ready to knock my head against the wall, and I still have two months left to go!

BTW, don't rag on yourself for sleeping today! Like Joni said, sometimes you just need it!

Don't wish summer away too soon, especially if your winters are anything like ours (I'll take 90 and humid to our winters any day).

I think most people overanalyze their plans at some point (I changed our Biergarten reservation from lunch to dinner yesterday). I think you are going to love POR. Although we've not stayed there, it would be our choice if CSR were not available.
