Run Now! It’s Wine 0’Clock in WDW…Cupcakes Gone W&D16

I like tea but I don't know if I'd do tea at GF. I'm also not much of a spa guy.

If you would like to follow along in my latest marathon weekend journey I started my trip report here

I know it's been forever since I've been on DIS- just wanted to say I LOVE YOUR PAGES Tammie! Good job! I have set a goal of 3 pages per week for scrapbooking this year. Hoping that will help me catch up!

After busy season, I will try to hop on and contribute more-

Yay a Tweedle. Thank you. I am really trying to figure out how to do pocket type/grid pages and actually like them. LOL

133.19 in "Disney" Money!! Woo hoo!! That is fab. So I can start focusing on that now that Christmas is over. I literally 6 out of 7 kiddos gift cards for Christmas with all of my earnings. So now that Christmas shopping is over all of my fun money can go to my trip.

Nope not sharing my hard earned "DISNEY" money! Its mine!!!!!

So much food and plans to think about. That BOG prime rib sandwich looks yum yum yum!! SO glad that we are going to be neighbors so not to big of a stretch to bar hop-TEHEHEHEHE!

I hope we cross that lake lots!

I didn't bring enough Disney money. The expo took a lot of it and I have more things to do yet! I need to win the lottery or something to buy everything I want!

I'm doing a little but of Dis catching up on vacation.

NOW I AM CURIOUS WHAT YOU BOUGHT....me not much of a shopper!

Of course! I'm still struggling to catch up but it wouldn't be a cupcake trip without booze! I think I would run the half as a grey goose slushie if I could find a way!

There has to be booze, tweedles and cupcakes!

This has been me, as far as my running. Things just can't seem to come together. However, fitbit......Man, I love it and had fun with you this weekend, Tammie! It has kept the weight at bay and has forced me to step away from my computer as eventhough I am at home and have the flexibilty while the kids school, I still am prone to staying in my office and connected to my computer. Congrats on you and your sister reconnecting and sharing. I plan to get my sister one as well. She works in the recovery department in a college library and definetely needs to get up and move through out the day. Those miles are moving up already looks to be the making of a 100-200 plus mile month! Keep it up, Tammie!!

LOL...I am so sorry you have now been introduced to my stubborn winning streak via my little sister...

I love my Fitbit, but I have quickly learned that I cannot keep up with you lol!! Even coming back into a training cycle, it will be some work keeping up with your steps. I do love the challenges though, even if I don't do well, I am constantly inspired.

I am blaming my sister for the steps..ask Kafi. She has made me get out of control with the fitbit and the treadmill!

I wouldn't be opposed but 2018 is dopey year for sure I don't know what else I may be able to run in.

 

[SarahDisney]

Afternoon tea sounds awesome! I love tea, so I would probably love to do a tea at Disney, but ... I don't like missing out on potential park time.

Also ... spa time sounds awesome. Really. What better way is there to relax on vacation?

Debra, they are MADLY INSANE, I tell you!! My kids think I am banana nuts because I eat standing up, I use my computer marching in place,when I am talking to people I am constantly walking in place and I STILL AM BEHIND. thats me most days after messing with Tammie and Barbara!!

I was totally against Dopey but now I am starting to warm up to the idea...

I guess that is where I differ now...I love park time but I have also learned to love and look for other things outside of the park. Now if my family was with me that would totally be different and park time would be priority, well next to the pool...LOL

I swear my sister is trying to kill me...but I so need her and you pushing me like this! I have to get this weight off...ha I even find myself up walking the halls at school just to get a few more steps in....and then the dumb thing is checking right before bed and realize I am down and get on the stupid treadmill. I think next week we add @debrapagliasotti to the mix!

I've been thinking even crazier lately thinking I would even do dopey next year but I'm not sure I definitely want to do dopey in 2018 for the 5th anniversary of that and then the 25th anniversary of the WDW marathon. Next year is the 20th anniversary for the half and I am in for that for sure. It's all about the bling!

 

[Dis_Yoda]

You all can keep Dopey! Running 3 races in a row was rough enough - I couldn't imagine doing a full after the 5K, 10k, Half I completed last weekend! Plus, I'll still have Rebel Challenge in 2018

LOL...I totally hear you and I am not sure what has gotten in my head to even think about Dopey! But it totally depends on whether I get this weight off!

BTW you did amazing last week at DL! I am not on FB much anymore...but I saw it on Instagram! Congrats...super proud of you for doing the challenge and doing it well!

It’s 5 O’clock Friday
(Only 41 More Friday’s)
at Mizner’s Lounge in the GF Resort​

​

In order to pass the time away, instead of Cupcake Friday’s we are going to take a look at cocktails around the world…since we are partly fueled by cocktails. Maybe we can find them a little more readily then the cupcake disappointment we experienced on our PHM Cupcake Crawl!

I have always loved coming off the monorail into the GF and looking down onto the lobby area from above and hearing the band or the piano play a familiar tune from days gone by!

​

I found a little hidden gem in the Victorian elegance of the GF that I never knew even existed, Mizner’s Lounge. This little lounge is located upstairs bar tucked behind the bandstand. And the best part is what while savoring your cocktail you get to enjoy live jazz by the Grand Floridian Society Orchestra and look out over the beautiful grounds of the GF from above.

​

Sounds like a great way to spend an hour or so out of the busy theme park craziness that sometimes can engulf you at WDW. This week on the PTR has already made me decide where I want to stay for the 2018 Cupcake Running Celebration!

​

​

Link to MENU​

So bartender…

Pour me somethin' tall an' strong,
Make it a Grand Cocktail
It's only half-past twelve but I don't care.
It's five o'clock somewhere.

Ketel Citroen Vodka, Pomegranate Liqueur, Cranberry Juice, and Soda Water​

What are you having?

 

[rteetz]

You and your cocktails. I'm currently having Disney withdrawals. I need to plan another trip.

Well we have to pass the time some how...and I love learning things about WDW! In all reality I will probably end up with very few cocktails. LOL
The best way to deal with the Disney Blues is to plan a trip!

I know my next one probably won't be until marathon weekend 2017 but I'd love to go to WDW in July for the big Disunplugged 10th anniversary celebration

 

[debrapagliasotti]

I'll have a little bubbly Dom Perignon...so very affordable lol.

No, that Grand Cocktail does sound pretty good.

 

[Dis_Yoda]

So the Bartender at Mizner's knows me well. Apparently I'm a regular there.

I love my Salted Caramel Manhattan from there!

 

[debrapagliasotti]

I forgot to respond about my Disney bucket list...

I would like to do Garden Tea Room also on a girls trip
Stay at Poly bungalows
Dinner at Victoria & Albert's with my husband
Wild Africa Trek
Keys to the Kingdom Tour

I am sure there is more, but those are at the top of my list right now

 

[MaMa3Princess]

Oh this looks so fancy. kind of like you have whisper when you talk fancy!! It is quite lovely and I think I will be the foodie here and get the warm chocolate- banana torte. How many days to the mad dash race registration time?

Kafi, "whisper when you talk fancy" made me laugh!!! Surely they dont expect us to be quiet in a bar lol. I can only imagine a group of us trying to be proper & whisper during afternoon tea lol. I can't wait to meet you in "non flat" form in Nov!!

I don't know how many days until registration, but I am hoping to get mine done early with AP registration this year. So...like 7-ish weeks until AP registration, 8-ish weeks until regular registration. Hopefully lots of people are going to sit this one out now since Osborne lights are done (I know that WON'T be the case, but still hoping it doesn't sell out in 20 minutes)
