Hey guys,

So I have now made my official MUST HAVE Disney Snack list for this upcoming trip on my PTR. Come check it out and suggest more!

 

[dnsmills]

So right now I'm sitting at The Ballpark in Arlington waiting in the Texas Ranger game to start which is delayed due to rain. No worries! I've got covered seats, all you can eat food and can surf the Dis boards while waiting. Plus it helps to know that 63 days from today we'll be checking into AOA LM!!

Ok, I'll help. I am at ballet with my DD4 and my niece. What is everyone else doing today? Happy weekend!

We were at a Cheer Competition all day!! Our girls got 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the different categories!! We left here around 6 am and didn't get home until after 7 pm. I'm exhausted but had to check the DIS before officially passing out.



Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the weekend!!

I saw the 5:00 show last year and thought it was fine, but thats the only time I have seen it so I dont have any darker ones to compare it to. It definitely was not dark, but it was also the 11th, so a little earlier in the month.

I wore my new black sneakers with hot pink laces and my new pink Mickey shirt tonight. DH liked it and asked if I was going to get shoelaces to match all my shirts.

 

[ksromack]

I wish I had the room for a treadmill my running/walking suffered this week.

I just got done telling dh that we need to start a walking routine to get us in tip-top shape for all the walking we'll be doing at WDW....

Confession. We have 70 days until our vacation and I spent a good couple of hours making sure our disney shirts were washed, folded, and packed away in our suitcases. It's probably not going to warm up enough for shorts here anymore so I packed a few of mine for our trip.....and I put our travel-sized toiletries in the quart-sized baggie and put that in our carry-on. Made sure our coffee pods were packed and a handful of Kcups for our RPR night. I got a couple of the battery operated christmas lights from Target yesterday, threw 6 AA batteries in the boxes, and packed those too.

I definitely upgrading us to DxDDP. It's silly not to for us. Looking at the menus of the restaurants we already had ADRs for (the one's we were going to have to pay out of pocket for) it was only $7 more to pay for the upgrade. I won't do it until closer to the trip, just to give me time to change my mind......lol.......so I looked at our existing ADRs and added several more. So very excited!

So, question: If you are on the DxDDP do you get appetizer, entree, and dessert at EVERY table service meal? I'm going to have to lose 10 pounds just to accommodate what I expect I'll be gaining!

Today I read several TRs then spent a good portion of time drooling over the food porn threads. OMGosh....I've totally gone loco over Disney food!

Which restaurant are you most wanting to dine at? That's how I would decide. I'm not sure about the darkness of the evenings. I asked a similar question a few months ago when I booked our CP package. I would think you would be plenty dark by the middle show. I did wonder about the effect of light on the whole thing.

Rainy day- perfect day to take my 3 yo to see Finding Nemo 3D, also this is her first Movie Theater movie!! Very excited, what's even better is Nemo was the first movie she loved too. It was pretty awesome 2 years ago going to the Seas at Epcot and being rocketed into awesomeness in my daughters eyes hehe....

Special Offers site is updated to reflect the expiration of Oct discounts. And the website is working again. I checked my rooms and dates. Most of the rates stayed the same but the BWV Studio discount went down. Honestly, I'm still kind of surprised there are any of those left.

Everyone should go check because it's always possible that your discount will go up.

My discount stayed the same I was hoping it would have been better so I could justify changing our split stay (PORFQ/WL) to a whole trip stay at WL. Oh well.
