[jenjolt]

Thanks to you I have a new love of pin trading, it was so much fun in January! I love your pin collection! You have some really great ones! Of course I tend to navigate towards your Haunted Mansion ones LOL!!

Your swimsuit is simply stunning! What a gorgeous pattern! I love it!!!! You and Marc are going to have a great time in the late evenings enjoying the pool!!

That new tour sounds awesome!! I can't wait to hear your review of it!! Definitely would be something new and exciting to do on your trip!!!!

 

[Mickey_Mom]

I'm VERY excited to go camera shopping, hopefully this weekend.

Isn't it pretty?

Very! I love the pattern!

Here is my pin board in my kitchen.

I've seen your pin board before, but why didn't I think before now to totally steal that idea? I have a cork board just sitting in a corner and I have a Tupperware container full of pins..... ??

Have you read about the new tour Disney is offering?

I would have to do this solo but I love it.

So there you have it, a completely random update.

 

[All7OfUs]

Hooray for camera shopping- and for selling the other one at just what you needed!! Great job!

LOVE your new suit! The fabric is so pretty! Paisley's my favorite. The neckline?? Hmmmm.. not sure.

That tour sounds super!! I guess they are doing it in DHS instead of MK because of the One Man's Dream attraction?? I would have thought you'd see more of his inspirations come to life at MK? Anyway, I think you CAN do it without switching all your ADRS around or ditching any of them. I'll be interested to see how that works out.

PINS. Never got into that, but can see myself doing it sometime in the future. Your collection is deliciously diverse!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Good luck with deciding between cameras!

The bathing suit is super cute -- it looks a lot like mine.

I will have to come back and look at your pins -- see if I need to go find any on ebay.

The tour does sound really interesting -- I definitely think it is right up your alley!

 

[Native NYer]

Sony Cybershot cameras are excellent. I have two and just LOVE them.

Wow, what an excellent deal on the swimwear! I love the top. The colors are great.

That tour sounds fantastic. I'd like to do the Family Magic tour with my nephews, but not sure if it would hold their attention.

 

[kschafer]

Your suit is SO cute!! Love the pink and black

I saw that new tour, sounds great! Can't wait to hear if you sneak it in

 

[aprilisis]

1. I LOVE the bathing suit!!!! It is very pretty!

2. Dylan is such a cute puppy!

3. That tour sounds awesome!!! I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back.

 

[If U Had Wings]

Congrats on all the lost pounds LL! May they never come back anywhere near you or Marc. It's such a fabulous achievement.

 

[jeremysdisneymom]

Love the suit! It is adorable. --a swimsuit for less than $30!

I read about the new tour yesterday. It looks like a lot of fun. I am anxious to hear your reviews if you do it!

[Mndisneygirl]

The suit is cute - reminds me of a vera bradley pattern!

That tour sounds so cool! I hope you do it and report back!

The bulletin board is awesome! I have to do that for my pins and my girls' pins. We have a bunch that we want to keep. I think I'm going to convert our office into a Disney room. Take down the "library" border and get Mickeys! I have so many cool framed pictures, etc. I could do it up nice!

 

[LuccaDrake]

Love the suit! I might have to go to Target to look around. Cute doggie too.

[Lady Lallie]

Congrats again on the weighloss and lifestyle change, you look great!


Love your pins and how you display.... might have to steal that idea!

Cute suit too!

I hope you do that tour, then I can read all about it!

Thank you! I really like how I display my pins, it works. I think we are going to do that tour, it's been put on the itinerary!

What a great, amazing post, LL!! Thanks for sharing it with us!! You and Marc have SO much to be proud of!! I remember you posting about the surgery last year and here you are! You go girl!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing!!!! Keep up the good work!!

Thank you!! We have worked really hard!

Yes, you kept snagging some really good pins when I wasn't paying attention!

I really like the bathing suit, I think it's the prettiest one I have owned. I am so sick of my old blue one. Blech.

Very! I love the pattern!

I've seen your pin board before, but why didn't I think before now to totally steal that idea? I have a cork board just sitting in a corner and I have a Tupperware container full of pins..... ??

I would have to do this solo but I love it.

You totally should display your pins like that! I love walking by it everyday.

 

[belle8306]

I love the suit! It is such a pretty color. You have some really cool pins! I haven't heard of that tour. It sounds really fun! We went on the Keys to the Kingdom tour last year and it was a blast. Now I am hooked on tours.

Whatever do you mean

I'm so excited about the new camera, I can't wait to buy it and play with it.

I like the neckline because it's not too low cut, I hate bathing suits like that. It covers just enough.

The tour ends at Magic Kingdom. When I called to get details the CM told me it started outside the gate at Epcot, went to DHS and then Magic Kingdom. I really want to do it but I feel guilty about spending that money so I feel like I need to cut something out. More about this later.

Good luck with deciding between cameras!

I've been seeing these really cute ones on ebay. They are the fish from Nemo and they are in those little plastic bags that they try to escape in at the end of the movie. They are so cute!

Sony Cybershot cameras are excellent. I have two and just LOVE them.

Wow, what an excellent deal on the swimwear! I love the top. The colors are great.

I'm so glad you like your Sony cameras. I have never had a Sony but I'm pretty sure that is what my Dad has and he likes them too. I'm a little nervous since I've been a Canon fan for so long.

Your suit is SO cute!! Love the pink and black

I saw that new tour, sounds great! Can't wait to hear if you sneak it in

I really like the pink and black together too. I can't believe I found one for such a great price.

1. I LOVE the bathing suit!!!! It is very pretty!

2. Dylan is such a cute puppy!

3. That tour sounds awesome!!! I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back.

Dylan is so adorable, though he's getting HUGE. I really want to do the tour which may mean making some sacrafices.

Congrats on all the lost pounds LL! May they never come back anywhere near you or Marc. It's such a fabulous achievement.

Ditto!

I really want to do the tour and I'm confused with my itinerary so I think I'm going to be asking for advice.

The suit is cute - reminds me of a vera bradley pattern!

It does look like a Vera Bradley pattern! I never thought of that.

I really want a Disney room. I should do that to our spare room.

 

[Lady Lallie]

Love the suit! I might have to go to Target to look around. Cute doggie too.

~Beka~

They had a lot of cute suits. Most of them were full priced but somehow the one I found was on clearance for $9.98. I scoffed that thing right up!

I love the suit! It is such a pretty color. You have some really cool pins! I haven't heard of that tour. It sounds really fun! We went on the Keys to the Kingdom tour last year and it was a blast. Now I am hooked on tours.

I think the tour is brand new, it's sounds really neat.

Whatever do you mean

You know exactly what I mean!

 

[jenjolt]

You know exactly what I mean!

Pish Posh....empty allegations and threats I say

 

[TarzansKat]

Have I quoted that line before? It's one of my favorites. That and, "It doesn't matter. It's in the past."

Anyway, great update, love the swimsuit. It's so cute.

That tour sounds really nice, and it's cool that Marc's interested. Something fun you can share together, you know?

 

[Lady Lallie]

It's time for us to chat about our itinerary. I'm not happy with it. I feel like I have too much going on. Too many ADRs, too many plans, just a lot. I need your help, thoughts, suggestions. I have 8 days total to post so I thought we could discuss two days at a time.

Day 1 - Wednesday 9/1
*Fly to Disney
*Check into Riverside
*Hollywood Studios (9-7PM)
*Mama Melrose’s @ 3PM
*Three Things:
- Toy Story Mania (?)
- Animation Academy (drawing lesson)
- ????
*QS Dinner (Riverside, DTD or Resort Hop)

We plan on flying out on the earliest flight, we still haven't bought tickets which is stressing me out a teeny bit.

Heidi (MRYPPNS) had the brilliant idea of having a guideline of three things that you want to accomplish in a park. I love this idea and Jen & I used it a little bit in January. This helped me in feeling less overwhelmed, which is always a good thing in Disney. That being said, I'm not sold on the three things for this day. I absolutely want to do the Drawing Lesson at the Animation Building. I'd like to see if there are any fastpasses left for Toy Story Mania but I won't hold my breath. I guess I just want to take it easy this day. I don't think we'll be up for much after flying. Maybe I'll just let Marc pick the third thing we do this day, yeah...I like that idea.

As far as our QS dinner. The sky's the limit! We could go to Downtown Disney, eat at Riverside or even take a bus to a resort and then eat at the resort and take a bus to DTD and then boat back over to Riverside. Isn't there a boat from DHS to Boardwalk? I'd love to go see Boardwalk.

Day 2 - Thursday 9/2
*Epcot @ Rope Drop (9-9PM)
*Three Things:
- Soarin’
- Test Track
- American Adventure
*Les Chefs de France @ 1PM
*QS Dinner (Epcot, Resort Hop, Riverside)

Epcot Day! I plan to do way more than three things at Epcot but these are the top three. Marc didn't seem to care if he saw American Adventure again, so he might go do something else which is fine with me. We don't plan to stay at Epcot much past dinner time. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we headed back to Riverside after our lunch at Les Chefs. I want to make sure to get ample pool time and relaxing in. It seems like it would be a nice night to take the boat to DTD and have dinner at Wolfgang Puck Express with a little dessert from Ghiradellhi.

Okay, I guess I'm happy with these two days and don't want to change anything.

In other news, I have scheduled my first fill appointment for tomorrow. I'm actually taking the day off because I don't want to stress about it and it's almost like a treat after the torture.

 

[All7OfUs]

I love your first day's plans!! In fact, your arrival day is identical to mine! except I'm going to Br. D. instead of MM. Same top 3 also. But I know TSM won't have any FiPs left. My top priority is also a drawing class, and I really hope to catch a scad of Streetmosphere before I go to F!.

Anyway, the idea of taking it easy on Day 1 sounds great! With that snazzy new suit, you need lots of pool time!
