POP CENTURY ... LAST WEEK of SEPT. 07 MEET

[DisneyMom5]

We also have 45 days to go!

It makes me a little nervous, in a good way. LOL

My mom called yesterday and asked if they have wheelchairs at WDW, as she accidently fell down the stairs.
She's not hurt, but was laughing that she needs to keep from doing that again.
I wholeheartedly agreed!!!

She and ILs also got their packets of maps and such yesterday, and Mom sounded a little more excited. Yay Disney!

Trying to declutter my house so that we can come back from FL to a clean, organized home to start up school in!

Have a great week everyone!

I got a packet yesterday as well. My excitement level is going higher everyday.

We're all a little over 6 weeks. Just think, tomorrow is Aug 1 and we can then officially saying "we're going next month."

Hey Ladies~

Amanda, congrats on paying off the trip & being soooo close to your departure date. I'm jealous

How's everyone doing? Anything exciting going on lately? I'm so excited about getting back to Portland so that I can go to the Dollar Tree & start loading up on goodies for our trip. After seeing the pics of the glow sticks I can't wait to go...LOL the littlest things make me happy.

It's raining like crazy up here in AK today so I'm just sitting indoors trying to get our tickets & stuff ordered for us to travel back to Portland on the 10th.

Talk to you soon~Becky

hi gang. Long time no chat. Here's a little update...My trip to hersheypark was great. My daredevil kids (7 and 11)rode so many wild coasters! I'm always shocked when my DD-7 is tall enough for these crazy rides. Anyway the parking spaces were not made of chocolate and Milton Hershey did not rise from the dead to valet park my car. But parking was only $8...not $12 as I thought. And they had a tram that picked us up near our car and took us to the park. Cool. The rides and shows were great but the employees were awful...definitely not like the CMs at Disney. I didn't encounter a single friendly or outgoing employee. I was sooooo nice to them all. I thanked every person who cecked the restraints on the rides, I smiled and thanked every cashier. I beamed sunshine out of every part of my body but got nary a response from the zombies they call employees. Oh well, we had fun anyway. So anyway...49 days for me. Am I there yet?! How about now?! Ok how about now?...

Tonight after dinner me and my parents took a little detour and drove around the airport a little. We ever watched the 7:00 plane go off.

The whole enviroment there just made me get really excited.

 

[kidsister]

Got my ressies for the weekend of Sept 28 at Pop, and then moving over to the BWV on my DVC ressies til Oct 5.

Getting in early afternoon and then heading up to US for Halloween Horror Nights on Friday. Have ADR's starting Sun at Capt Jacks, Jikko, CRT dinner, Les Chefs. Doing MK late on SUnday night.

I was thinking about maybe doing US one night for Halloween Horror one night with my husband & I. Since we have family with us for our whole vacation we'd have a babysitter. Has anyone gone before? What are your opinions? I'm a scardy cat, but my DH likes things like that.

Glad you had a good time. I think the last time I went to Hershey was 91. It sounds like the employees need some of that chocolate to perk them up

Well, today we can all say we're going next month I'll probably receive my vouchers in 2-3 more weeks. I'll also make my car ressies and the ressies for my cat to be boarded. I want to start packing sooooo bad. I do have some of the toiletries packed. I'll throw it in the suitcase as I buy them. Gotta start checking off my packing list to see what else is left to buy. Oh yeah, gotta get some more glow sticks and some more LGM from Home Depot.

Let me be the first to say it (if you don't count minnieandme, who hinted at it yesterday)--we all go to WDW NEXT MONTH!

45 days is fast approaching, so we paid off (well, put on the Disney VISA for 6 months of no interest) the trip on Monday. Then yesterday we got a "welcome back to POP" travel planning letter, which included a handy dandy one page packing list. Those of you who haven't seen it will love this--it had spaces for your dining reservation #'s. . . all 3 of them. Amateurs.

Alaska air is having a sale right now, just anounced yesterday

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

Hi all, been very busy. Lots going on.

I think we have about 38 days until we arrive for our FD trip. It has been paid for about two weeks.

Today we celebrate 30 years of living in this house. It has been paid for twenty years ago!! More money for the Mouse!!!

Yesterday I made my 100# weight loss. Still not skinny but much improved. Looking forward to all that 'free' food and lots and lots of walking so that I do not gain anything back though.

I got my packet as well - The picture of the castle on the front just makes me get sooo excited! I didn't notice the 3 spaces for ressies until they were mentioned...

I think I will get the suitcases out and start packing in the extra bedroom

I was thinking AK was Animal Kingdom, not Alaska. I was wondering what that had to do with airfare Can you tell I got Disney on the brain. That's ok, 44 more days to go until I can get my fix.

Congrats on your weight loss. I'm afraid how much I'll gain from eating so much food. I've been looking at the food porn and those desserts all look so good. I have a huge weakness for sweets. I guess I'd better order a salad so I can have my dessert and not feel guilty about it.

 

[aksunshine]

I am so excited girls!!!!!

Linda- congrats GIRL! Thats is so AWSOME!!! Wish I could loose about 30#!

Congrats to all who have paid their trip off! I'll be paying mine off Friday!

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

aksunshine, I learned the secret to weight loss late in life (I just turned 59) and I offer it to you . Write down all your favorite foods and quit eating them. So simple, so hard to do. I had to cut out carbs. I am not a sweets person luckily. I found that not having any at all made it easier not to crave them. The only bad part is that if I slip the least bit I instantly gain a couple of pounds overnight but I seldom slip anymore. It is not a diet but a WEIGH of life now.

minnieandme , yep those salads will cancel out any desserts you eat. That is how I got to weigh over 300 pounds. At DW it is a different thing cause you are walking and doing so much more exercise than you usually get that you can get away with some indulgences. I love the dessert samplers where you can have a bite or two of a couple different things rather than a big slab of something. Breaking even is a good thing at both DW and Las Vegas!

LorilieMarie, my spare bedrooms are all upstairs so I put my suitcases on the pool table when it gets down the wire. Make sure to leave enough room in your suitcases for all the goodies you will bring back!

You're kidding right I know my biggest weakness is ice cream. I've been doing much better, only had some 1x this week and that was yesterday. Not bad since I was eating it everyday. I've been trying to replace it with fruit bars. Now if you tell me I have to give up chocolate, that's not gonna happen.

 

[aksunshine]

yeah...I don't know if I can do that...

Seriously though, eating isn't so much my problem, it's exercise! I don't get out enough. If I lived on a paved road, I could get some more walking in! I am SO going to be out of shape for WDW!
