Relaxation, Disney Style, PTR. ~*TRIP REPORT HAS STARTED! 9/18 Pg. 155*~

Super exciting! Running through the MK is a fabulous motivator! That race sounds awesome!! And I am super excited you will get to see Food & Wine. You will LOVE it! And selfishly I'm hoping you can scope out the good booths and provide some recommendations as I'll be going a couple weeks after you!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

I was going to go back to find where you said "no more changes". I'm sure it's there somewhere! HA!
This sounds GREAT!!!
F&W is one I've always (well since I heard of it) wanted to go to! Someday October will work out for us. Our kids even have a 4 day weekend in mid-October.

If you have to run a 5K, what better place to do it?? The weather should be good for it too, and how fun to see all the decorations while you run/walk!

I love how Marc thinks - it explains perfectly why we keep going back. Every trip is different and there's something special about it. This trip you get to enjoy two great resorts too! What an easy transfer that will be.

 

[Dancegrl624]

I had NO idea there was a Halloween 5k at the MK! That is so awesome!

 

[Tinkerbellarella]

Yay for a Disney 5K! That sounds like a lot of fun.

Are you able to change your flights without any penalties?

 

[LuccaDrake]

You know that you're stuck meeting me again! And even though you're giving up the parasailing to do the 5k I think that finishing the 5k will be the best reward for all your weight loss! If I was going to be there I'd do it with you!

Racing in Disney sounds absolutely awesome!!! Hope you get all your ADRs...I'd get on the ones at the beginning of your trip NOW before all the free dining people snatch them up!

 

[MEK]

OMG - You ARE the queen of trip date changes and I think you picked the perfect dates to go (not my dates, but still great dates)! The Halloween 5K run sounds like so much fun. I would love to do that.

So does this mean you get double congratulations on single digit dancing?????

 

[kschafer]

How exciting!! If that's not motivation to keep training, I don't know what is!!

 

[MeMom]

Yes, folks, that's right! We (really me) have switched our trip dates again.

I have a really good reason though.

I promise!


I think I have a very good reason.

I'll be participating in Mickey's Halloween Family Fun Run 5k on October 2nd!!


That is right! I'll be running/walking at Magic Kingdom.



I still get to stay at Riverside and as far as split stays go, this is a super easy transfer. I imagine we'll just walk to POFQ with our luggage and check in.

We also are gaining a few things....
*Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party!
With my race registration comes a ticket to the party on 10/3. As of right now, Marc is not going to be doing the race. He said he might change his mind though. So if he does he'll have a ticket with his registration, if not we'll buy him a MNSSHP ticket for that night sooner rather than later.

*Food & Wine Festival!
Marc is really excited about this. He's wanted to check it out since he learned about it. My aspiring chef is ready to taste all that food and get some new ideas for his cooking.


He said, "Isn't that why we go on these Disney trips? It's because every trip is different." He's so right too! It will be different but it will be great!

It's a good thing I alway use erasable ink when I am trying to keep up with you!

Marc will love checking out the Food & Wine items.
He is right - every trip is different, and that is a good thing.

Getting to go to the Halloween Party is also awesome.

Yep, that should be an easy transfer. Just walk down the sidewalk by the river...with your suitcases.
Kind of funny, but very easy.

Good luck on all of your new planning.

 

[Jennifer48]

That 5K sounds awesome! That is going to be an event filled trip!

Guess we won't be able to meet this time around but I can't wait to hear what you plan for a costume!

 

[Hallowishes]

OMG! SOOO excited about your marathon! well, now you will be at WDW when i am! im staying at POFQ from september 21 - oct 2nd! i agree, it is extra time to save $ i am bummed you are not parasailing but i definitely think you are GAINING more than you are GIVING UP! i cant wait to hear about your costume for MNSSHP!

 

[jenjolt]

YAY so excited for your changes!!! I have to agree with Marc, each trip should be different!!!! I'm glad everything worked out!!

Like C said, I'm excited to hear what you think of the offerings at Food and Wine before I get there!!!!!

RUnning through MK sounds amazing!!!!! You are right what a great motivator!!!!!!

 

[If U Had Wings]

Of course, you're also giving up a FABULOUS MEET with




me!


LOL! Seriously, of course, I am sad to not get to meet you and Marc this time around, but you are on the road to a happier, healthier YOU!!!

But she does gain a meet with me!

I can't say how excited I am to be able to be there to cheer you on LL!

 

[Charleston Princess]

That description of the 5K in the Magic Kingdom reeled me right in! I would have been all about changing trip dates in a heartbeat, too! Can't wait to see what your trick-or-treat bag of refreshments includes!

You will love doing a split stay between POFQ and POR! This is shaping up to be a very fun trip!

And you know my feelings on the Food and Wine Festival only too well! Make sure you try a Dragonberry Colada if they have them this year!

 

[Happydog]

Say! This sounds like a great change of plans! What a fun race route! And a 5K through the MK is motivation enough! Walking/jogging/running!!! Seems like you are going to have a great time and I am sure things will all work out with the ADR's etc. MNSSHP!!!!! YAY!!!!! So fun!

 

[gellybean]

Love the new plans!! Sounds like an amazing trip in the making and I'm soooooooo jealous of your 5k in the Magic Kingdom during Halloween season!!! And the party ticket that comes with it!! YAY!

 

[Tinkerbellarella]

But she does gain a meet with me!

I can't say how excited I am to be able to be there to cheer you on LL!

Well, CARP. Exactly how can I convince BF to stay another week or so so I can meet you guys and cheer you BOTH on?!

 

[All7OfUs]

But she does gain a meet with me!

I can't say how excited I am to be able to be there to cheer you on LL!

So true! and for that, I am very excited for you both!

 

[Disneymoon09]

Very cool new plans! I am super jealous of them I have thought about starting to run with DH to get in better shape, perhaps a WDW running event would be great motivation for us both! Good luck! We walked our first 5k this year and really enjoyed ourselves!

 

[Lady Lallie]

All the changes sound great! The race and Halloween party sounds like a ton of fun. Plus, with a split stay at Riverside and French Quarter sounds fantastic! Plus Marc will be able to have a French Quarter experience and a Riverside experience too. And Food and Wine Festival. I'm hoping this plan sticks. It sounds terrific!

This plan is sticking. I had to promise to Marc to make NO MORE CHANGES. I'm allowed to change our plans for our actual trip but no date changes. I can live with that.

Oh my goodness! I think we all knew you would make more changes!!!

These changes are fantastic though!

That 5k sounds like so much fun!!! I'm so excited for you!

I love the idea of a PO split stay! Gaining MNSSHP and F&W is reason enough to change the trip!

Your going to have a fabulous time!!!!! Wooo hooo!!!

I'm excited yet very nervous...well maybe I should say terrified.

I'm really happy with all that we are gaining on this trip. It makes waiting another 28 days worth it in my book!

Of course, you're also giving up a FABULOUS MEET with






me!


LOL! Seriously, of course, I am sad to not get to meet you and Marc this time around, but you are on the road to a happier, healthier YOU!!!

I'm sad that we aren't going to get our meet either!

First of all.....I adore your picture on Dumbo!!!! Don't we all smile and laugh so much more when we are surrounded by Disney magic?
Love your new plans
The split stay will be fun....it will be a cinch to switch over.
MNSSHP is sooooo much fun.....love the parade...the fireworks...riding HM
I think it is so awesome that you will be participating in the marathon You are giving me motivation to get out and do something!!!
I think October is my favorite time of the year there....the decorations...F&W still nice and warm and it's starting to get chilly in the NE

Tracy

I'm wondering if the weather will be better in October vs. September or is there not really a difference? Marc is hoping it will be less humid but I reminded him it is Florida after all.

Hallowishes are my favorite fireworks so I'm stoked that I'm going to be able to see them again.
