I have been thinking about trying myfitnesspal. I would like to lose at least 15 pounds. Doesn't it have a feature where you can connect with other friends who are also using it - sort of an on-line support group?




Thanks! Great link!

!

YEP! I use it, I like it. I have a group of friends on there. I've lost 34lbs using it to track my food.

So I have a silly question - can you buy Disney gift cards with Disney gift cards? Thinking of picking up some from BJs and saving a few bucks and then buying 1 or 2 larger dollar value...

No, you can't. I tried to do this last year.

 

[Maddie's Nana]

You'll be fine! Yes, it will be crowded (Disney always is) but it won't be unmanageable
ETA: ooh we'll be in DHS on the 9th too .... I'll wave

We'll be in DHS on the 9th also.

Bummer - I just can see bringing 10 or so of them with me... I'd probably lose them!!

My problem was that I had 5 or 6 $25 gift cards. I was trying to buy my parents their florida resident 2 day tickets (they were meeting us there for a few days of our stay). Online you can't pay with that many gift cards, and they couldn't do it over the phone either. I was trying to not wait and buy them at the resort when we checked in, so I tried everything, including trying to buy a larger gift card with my smaller ones. I was told it wasn't possible .. I'm still not sure why though.

TP has DHS at 5 out if 10. Honestly, DHS never really goes below 3 so that seems fine to me. MK is a 5.5 which seems really low for an EMH/non-party day. (This is so low I actually double-checked to make sure I wrote I down correctly.) I'd say this is a good call.

That makes me feel better. I know that we might have lower crowds if we swapped DHS and MK days, but then we'd miss out on MSEP and Wishes.

Now, does anyone have any opinions on a H&V 8:05 AM breakfast ADR vs. a H&V lunch ADR? I think that I've decided on the 8:05 breakfast, but I'm open to arguments against it (aside from food quality arguments - we're definitely going to H&V for Jake). DD4 and DD5 have both decided that they want to do JTA after watching videos on YouTube.

Exactly. I was going to suggest swapping but if you want to do MSEP and Wishes then this is really quite a good day. It certainly beats the 9.2 on Saturday. ;-). We'll be at DHS on the 10th because 3.5 is really low. But we have more flexibility.

I would do the 8:05. It's hard to beat pre-opening. Just make sure you're out of there and heading to Jedi/TSM at opening. (You're doing Jedi, right?) But that really shouldn't be a problem. A lunchtime ADA would just suck up time.

Quiet group today. Any weekend plans? We have marching band stuff tomorrow and then we'll come home and watch the football game. Go Bucks!! I will go to Walgreens sometime to see if they have the Disney Christmas stuff out yet. Must have a light up necklace!!!!!

 

[Mom2Cody06]

Found my wallet yay!

Yay!!

Me and my 3 sisters arrive Dec. 9th. Staying at the Poly I've never stayed there before and one of my sisters has never been to Disney! Just getting together will be magical! We live hundreds of miles apart and Disney seemed like the perfect place for a reunion!

Welcome!

Bummer - I just can see bringing 10 or so of them with me... I'd probably lose them!!

Can you take them to the Disney Store to consolidate them to one card? I know I have done that with other store cards, but not sure if the Disney Store could do it...might be worth calling to see


I Got Mickey Mail today!!!! YAY! only 30 more days!! This time next month I will be ever so patiently waiting for my parents to arrive at our house so that we can hit the road! Now that Halloween is over I can't wait to concentrate on the holidays and our trip.

So will be be chatty today or this weekend?? We should be at part 4 by next week????

nothing to drastic just a trim, I already have medium short hair. It's long enough to handle a straight iron but short enough that I can wash and go as a curly head. If you have see brave my hair is like Meridans but shorter. Way out of control curls yes and even redish brown.

just a lazy weekend here, little footbal, maybe a run to the city(walgreen)....[acking the summer clothes away, feel that the fall and winter is truely here to stay!

Working overtime tomorrow from 7-11. It's hard to go in on a Saturday but this pay check will be about $230 extra after taxes with all the OT I have been putting in the last two weeks.

DH and I will then be heading about 40 minutes south to Jim's Apple Farm. It is a shop that sells apples and baked pies of course, but they also have the largest variety of candy and hard to find candy. They have over 150 types of root beer and strange flavors of pop (soda if you prefer). It's supposed to be a cute fun store, so that will be something fun to check out.

Sunday is laundry/grocery shopping day. I have to return a dress to Target that I bought (had absolutley no fit to it), that shows me I need to try things on before buying them. I also plan to run to Kohls to shop their clerance rack. I really wish I had a crystal ball to tell me the temp for the first week of December, because then I could shop accordingly.

Packing them in your Disney suitcase??? I still just have a pile of stuff, nothing actually in a suitcase yet. But now that the trip is next month, maybe it's not too early to pack.

Yup. Cooking dinner for a friend tonight. I think we're going to watch a movie while putting together our split zine because...tomorrow I go to Milwaukee for their zine fest. Sunday will probably be relaxing / doing laundry day, which will be nice.

 

[JoshMom5]

Just want to chime in and say "one month today we'll be there"

That's it. Carry on.

Woohoo! Love that feeling!

Quiet group today. Any weekend plans?

I'm off work tomorrow, so I plan on sleeping in, or at least as much sleeping in as I can do since my dog always wakes me up by 7:30am to feed him and let him out anyway. Go by Walgreens/Dollar Store/Target for Disney Christmas decorations to add to my room decorations bag, then work on getting my room decorations ready.

Sunday morning I work, then I have a quick family event around 1pm (better be quick since I'll be missing the beginning of the Ravens game for it!). Then football and relaxing the rest of the day.


I just hope to get a lot of the things on my Pre-Trip To Do List done, since I'll only have one more weekend after that before I'll be too busy with Thanksgiving coming up then happening to get much done until I leave!

This weekend is my son's 5th Birthday party! (His actual birthday is Thursday the 8th). I will be entertaining 14 kids at Build a Bear on Sunday. . . pray for me!

Question: For our past two trips we've done MVMCP on the Tuesday night we're there, but this time we have a Garden Grill reservation that I can't seem to move (ERRRR!). Is the party crazy busy on the Sunday nights? I'm thinking the 2nd, unless I can move my GG ADR to the 5th, then we'd go on the 4th.
