Welcome, welcome to the ultimate procrastinator's thread!:welcome:

I'm Jasmine aka i_heart_disney_4_lyf aka JazzyJ, your ultimate procrastinator's tour guide. If you're like me and never got around to writing a trip report and don't have any trip planned in the foreseable future but still want to relive your glory days at WDW, please, post your pics and a short story to go along with them here.

If you are wondering how to post a pic, well, don't ask me, I haven't the foggiest, I'm about to find out!:)

Please direct your attention to my siggy...that's right, I've been to WDW three times in my 31 years, the first time being at 26 years old. I must say that trip spolied me completely b/c I stayed at the Pop when it was relatively new, got in on free dining before too many people knew about it, and that was waayyyy back when the value resorts still got the regular dining plan and when appies and tip were still included!:rotfl::lmao:

The cast:
Myself, JazzyJ. 31 years old, Disney freak from day 1 of booking our first trip, loves all foods way too much, no kids yet except for my Dog Mr. Butchie, fav ride is Haunted Mansion/Spaceship Earth but I can't imagine a life w/o the Hall of Presidents.

My DMom, Jeanie, who calls me a Disney aholic when she's the one who started it!:rotfl: She was a single mother of three who joined the military at a young age (see my siggy:goodvibes) and so traveled a lot, and so had been to WDW between 5-10 times by the time I had been there once. Her all time favorite character is the Grinch and she always asks me if I want to spend a day or two at Universal, which I eventually do, but no time soon. She lets me do all the planning, and listens to all my stories of threads and pictures I see on the DIS. My Mom is my best friend, can you tell?:goodvibes

Jan:littleangel: My Mom's best friend of 22yrs who was a certified Disney lover, especially the princesses, who past away suddenly on Nov. 15, 2008. She had been w/me and my Mom to Disney once, on the middle trip there in my siggy, but she and my mom had been there several times before that. She was an amazing woman, also a single mother of three, always content to be behind the scenes doing all the grunt work without ever asking for a thing in return. My third trip w/my mom was timed to coincide w/the one year anniversary of her passing, to take my mom's mind off it, which is why also I planned the whole "veteran of the day" scheme and the surprise upgrade to Kidani village for half our stay!:cloud9:


Ok, long intro w/no pics, I know, I know, I'm going to get that figured out right now! I know you're supposed to upload them into photobucket and go from there but I don't even know what photobucket is!:rolleyes1 Oh well, I'm sure it won't take me too long.

But if you want to go ahead and share some pics and stories, please do so, I'd love to see & hear them!:dance3:
 
Just wanted to add that my thread title comes from the fact that I have gained soooo much weight since my first trip five years ago. I did quit smoking a couple years back after about 10 years of that habit, but to be honest I have just been using that as an excuse ever since to shove any and everything in my mouth that I possibly can. :confused3 So when I look back at myself from back then I wonder why on earth I ever considered myself fat???:confused3

Anywho, in addition to Kidani village and veteran of the day, we've done Keys to the Kingdom, Dolphins in Depth, and Around the World segway tours, and I have a few food pics but not enough to do a procrastinator's dining report so I'll post them here.:lmao: So I'm looking forward to starting my stories off...join me!:hippie:
 
Aaaaahhhhhhhh! I just spent a while watching the video tutorial on how to upload photos, creating a photobucket account, uploading several photos, and writing my first post here to include a test pic and cute little anecdote to go along with it and my computer turned itself off! WTheck? Ok here is the picture, let's try this again.

Honestly I am too tired to rewrite the anecdote but I'll try again tomorrow, along w/some more photos.
 

Uggg, this is going to take longer than I thought b/c my grandpa passed away this morning. :sad1: That's him in my avatar pic. He hasn't been doing well for a while now so I think we are all glad he is at peace, but it is sad nonetheless. Gotta run errands and pack and head to Illinois.:sad1:
 
Sorry about your grandpa.

Love the Osbourn lites. I am thinking of booking a few days in December, just to go see the lites.
