Running The Half, Dis Meets, Deluxe Dining,& SSR! BACK. Had a great time!

I'm more of a HP girl too. ;) Twilight does not even compare! I read the books because they were given to me as gifts. They're alright, I don't see what the big deal is about them. I absolutely cannot stand Bella and Edward lol. I think I'm about the only girl who would have picked Jacob!

I could not stand Bella either! And I didn't even read far enough into the series to choose between Jacob or Edward...Jacob was only in the first book about 2 times! But I know my sister was a "Team Jacob" girl so you're not the only one. ;)

Sorry for hijacking your thread, Lynn!
 
Oh I loved Breaking Dawn!! I'm not a huge fan of Twilight or HP but I do enjoy reading both and watching all the movies. I'm not just obsessed. Although...I'm kinda on Team Edward. Though cuddling with Jacob does sound nicer. Hmmm...yeah I guess I'll just have to be as confused as Bella!!
 
:yay:Hey Lynn ! Thats awesome on the running!! That is such a neat thing that Nikeplus can do--thats great they have that! I wish I could have the urge to run like you do.. but I bet once I started I'd be fine lol .. like you said this is GREAT weather for running, we can feel it over here in PA too.... Fall is definitley in the air! Esp. last night it was soo chilly!
OMG 122 days away that sounds like alot but really no.. think about it .. Halloweenis almost here/the Holidays.. it will fly so fast you'll be in January haha.. :woohoo:

Hi Katie. Nike Plus is a great. Love it. Yeah you would be fine with running once you got into it.

No it really isn't that far away, lol. I can't wait for Halloween. We are having a party on Halloween. I'm going to be a pirate wench, lol.



I've seen a lot of the Nike Plus results and it's very cool! I have the Garmin GPS watch that does the same thing and I'm in LOVE! :) I would have bought the NikePlus but didn't have a compatible iPod at the time so it would have been almost the same price.

I can't believe it's only 4 months away!!!!!

Yeah I hear Garmins are great!! I know, it is creeping up so quickly!! Ahh I can't wait.

That is one high tech running shoe!

:banana: Happy September! :banana:

It really is, lol! Happy September to you as well.

YAY!!! You're almost there!!! :yay: It's going by fast....

I saw that Nike Plus and wondered how it was!! Godo to know...I'm not there yet, but maybe in time....thanks for the review!!:goodvibes

Good luck with your Fall semester!!!!

Thank you so much!!

Hi Lynn!! I'm still here, I promise! My DS started Kindergarten last week so we're all just adjusting. He's doing fabulous and loves it!

Way to go on your test - you are one smart cookie! Good for you and I'm so glad you're enjoying yourself too!

WOW! That is so cool with the iTouch! Modern technology is crazy sometimes, huh? I've "babysat" my sisters iTouch and they are cool! Have you downloaded any Disney apps? :rotfl2:

We're down to 26 days tomorrow for our trip so we're getting excited! I can't believe it's almost time for you to do your ADR's! Gosh, it's all coming so quickly. Any more updates on the anniversary plans?

Heather

Aww Heather how cute! I bet he loves it.

Yeah it is amazing the stuff the iTouch can do. I don't have any Disney Apps yet, lol.

Woo hoo! Count me into the planning! I am so ready to go. I can't wait to make the ADR's next month!!!!!! We are all going to have so much fun! :banana:

We have to start practicing singing "It's a Small World". ;):lmao:

HAHAHA! Yeah, the boys better be ready to go on!!!

Of course we are all going to have fun!

Those Nike Plus shoes with the sensor sound very, very neat!!!

Woo hoo for four months away!!! It will fly by, I am sure! :goodvibes

Yeah! They are really neat. Love them.

I'm hoping it does fly by!

My girlfriend uses the nike plus system and loves it!! I"m glad everything is going well with your running!!!

122 days.. WOW. I also cannot believe that it's already September... the summer just blew right by.

I know girl, the summer did fly by!

Oh cool! I'm glad she loves using Nike Plus as well.

I'm excited about Marvel. I actually don't want Universal to keep any of there! I know they probably will stay there for a while, but I hope its not permanent. I think a superhero dinner would be awesome!! And a whole park for them!! I know I'm dreaming big, but why not? I don't think it'll be too different in the near future, but thats okay...lol I'll just dream that it'll be awesome by the time Landon is old enough to enjoy that!

Tim is excited about it too.

I'm not sure how I feel about Disney acquiring Marvel. I don't see how it's going to tie in outside of DHS. I wouldn't want to see them build a whole Marvel park. It would just seem out of place to me. :confused3 That's just my opinion. As for Universal, Spiderman is one of the best rides I've ever been on, so I'm hoping that stays put!

I kind of feel how you do Jenny. Spider Man and all the Marvel characters do not remind me of Disney at all, lol. IDK, I guess we will see what happens.


I don't expect the Marvel acquisition to have much impact on the parks.

Where you could start to see the impact is at stores.

I can see that happening with the stores.

Hey Lynn!!! I have so much to catch up on. :surfweb:

Your new shoes sound so cool! If I was a runner, I would totally get them. So cool!

I can't believe it's September, either. CRAZY!!! You guys will soon be in double digits!!!!!!!!!!!

So sad Tim changed his mind about Disneyland. Aaron actually suggested doing that next year. I'm strongly considering it. We've never been, and I think it'd be fun. DL always has better pins, too. Plus, we'd love to explore around the area and head up to LA to see a Dodgers game! I've always wanted to sit in Dodger Stadium and eat a Dodger Dog. My only hesitation...I'll feel like I'm cheating on Disney World!

Hey you!! I have to catch up with your TR.

Tim says that DL has the better pins. That is why he wanted to go. We will eventually get there.


I just posted a new update on my TR...you should go check it out. ;)

O.K, I think I did... but I will go check it out again, lol. Hopefully there is an update.

Wow Lynn those sneakers sound so cool. I give you SOOO much credit for running like you do and having the drive to do it daily!

4 more months!! Such a great feeling! How's school going so far?

Why thank you very much! School is going great. Love it! It's so much fun to be back in the class room again and to be learning.



Have you pre-ordered your copy of Toy Story Mania for the Wii?? It comes out two weeks from yesterday!

NOOO!!!! I forgot all about it!! I will have to go get it.

Are you stalking me?

I think a whole Marvel park may not really be necessary. How about a Kimmyopolis park? Everything could be themed around me. JK of course! LOL...I just think they need something better. I don't like how they kinda cram all the "other" stuff in DHS. The stories I hear of MGM when it was actually a working studio and that sound so much cooler than it is now. I think they should take DHS back in that direction but improved upon, of course and take all this new other stuff somewhere else. Personally, I love a bunch of the new movies from Up to Bolt and I don't like how they keep the characters for the newest movie out there and then take them away when the next one comes up. (this may just be a personal thing...I'm really sad I don't get to meet the Bolt characters!)

I guess I just wouldn't be happy with a Pixar section, a Marvel section, and Star Wars stuff and then all the Hollywood stuff from classic stuff like from The Twilight Zone and Indian Jones and all that to Aerosmith. I mean, Magic Kingdom works with all the different lands. Even though those sections are different, they all tie in with how they all just take you into a different land. But with DHS, its kinda too busy trying to fit a bunch of stuff in one place that don't tie together as well as the other places. And if it doesn't fit in any of the other 3 parks, it seems to go there. I'm sure they could make it work better, but I don't like how it is now. However, upon further incessant rambling leading me to new opinions, I think if they added a very good Marvel section there, it would help DHS A LOT!! Ok, so let's come back to realize that I haven't actually been there yet...but I've heard that a lot of the rides seem outdated and then there are the 3 VERY popular big ticket rides--TSM, TOT and RnRC. A well-done Marvel section could help with some of the congestion with those and then have something else to do besides those rides or outdated rides or shows.

Okay...I've officially had way too much coffee this morning. I bet none of that made any sense. If everyone disagrees with me and hates me now, I understand. Sorry Lynn for the LOL...okay...I'm done now

LOL it's O.K. I hear ya girl!



Yes, I am. I follow you around from thread to thread.

I'm still mad at DHS for getting rid of the Golden Girls house. That was my whole reason for doing the Backlot tour. Now I don't even bother. It's my least favorite park out of the 4 which is odd because it has one of my favorite ridse (ToT). I think it's part of what you said, there's just too much going on there! Most of it doesn't even feel like it has anything to do with movies! I round a corner and there are the Power Rangers. HUH?

You know what I would love to see? And this has nothing to do with Disney...I want someone to build a theme park based on the Super Mario Bros. How freakin cool would that be??

OMG that would be the coolest park, lol!! I have Mario Brothers!

They could have a Luigi's Haunted Mansion attraction, LOL!


omg that's a fabulous idea!!!! hahahaha it would be awesome!

Yeah it really would be!

How great would it be to walk around a land of giant warp pipes? Then they could expand and make another park out of the Legend of Zelda. I've thought about this a lot!

Jenny can you get this park going please?? LOL!

I would love a ride just dedicated to Yoshi :)

So would Tim. He loves Yoshi.

They could do a whole land devoted to Yoshi! And the princesses, Wario & Waluigi, and Bowser. I really want this to happen! LOL.

Make it happen girl!

There is too much going on. Like they've kept some classics like muppets but take out the golden girls house and always have new stuff (i.e. up) but take it out immediately (i.e. bolt). They could even do a classic half and a new stuff half, with room to keep stuff!



Lol would you be able to jump up and hit your head on a box and have mushrooms, stars or flowers come out? Although the giant warp pipes sounds cool enough!



This does sound awesome!!

HAHA they could make a part of the park where you actually get to go through and play a level of the game, lol.

Where do I copyright this? If I knew anything about building a theme park or knew someone who did, I would totally get this idea going!

I was going to ask you the same thing.

Hey lynn.. just wanted to pop in and say HI, your getting so close to making your ADR"S, and park hours being released!!!!!... How's your fall semester going so far? Good?

Hey!! Yeah I know! Can't wait.

Fall semester is great!! I love it so far.


I think I am the only one who doesn't like Twilight! :sad2: I finally broke down and read the first one and just didn't get it. :confused3 Guess I'm more of a Harry Potter girl.

I love Harry Potter a lot more than Twilight!! I feel you!
 
I'm more of a HP girl too. ;) Twilight does not even compare! I read the books because they were given to me as gifts. They're alright, I don't see what the big deal is about them. I absolutely cannot stand Bella and Edward lol. I think I'm about the only girl who would have picked Jacob!

I like Jacob.

Harry Potter is a lot more entertaining. I love all the imagination in HP.

I could not stand Bella either! And I didn't even read far enough into the series to choose between Jacob or Edward...Jacob was only in the first book about 2 times! But I know my sister was a "Team Jacob" girl so you're not the only one. ;)

Sorry for hijacking your thread, Lynn!

I used to be Team Jacob until I was in the middle of Breaking Dawn. After Book Jacob in BD, I was happy for him.

Oh I loved Breaking Dawn!! I'm not a huge fan of Twilight or HP but I do enjoy reading both and watching all the movies. I'm not just obsessed. Although...I'm kinda on Team Edward. Though cuddling with Jacob does sound nicer. Hmmm...yeah I guess I'll just have to be as confused as Bella!!

I would so rather cuddle with Jacob as well.
 

Lynn, when I go on my Universal fam next week, I'm gonna mention the Super Mario Bros. park. :lmao: Maybe I can get the ball rolling on something. I'm actually really surprised Nintendo hasn't done anything like that yet. They're a huge company and everyone knows who the Mario Bros. are!
 
Lynn! I just wanted to tell you that I just voted for your pic in the Photography Board Weekly Contest for this week! :)

OOh cool! Thanks for the vote girl :)
 
I just wanted to pop by and see how you are doing with your running.

I finally got on my treadmill and tried a 5k. UM TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN DOING ONE ON THE ELLIPTICAL!!! I thought "oh yeah I've got this, it can't be that much different..." HA! Yeah right. I still finished it. And under 50 minutes, which isn't too bad, since I'm wayyy out of shape.

Hey! My running is going great. I'm up to ten miles now, and my average pace is about 7'53" per mile during ten miles.

That is good considering you haven't ran in a while. At least you finished!
 
Just seeing how you've been doing! I'm having horrible Disney withdrawals right now and I can't plan my own trip (YET!! hopefully) so I'm living through everyone else's lol. I've been going crazy getting Disney Iphone apps just to get my fix. :laughing:

Hi Heather! :goodvibes How are you? I'm doing great. Life is good.

Hopefully you will book a trip soon. The Disney apps are pretty cool.:woohoo:
 
Lynn you were SO right about The Wave. We ate there our first night in August and LOVED it!!
 
Hey! My running is going great. I'm up to ten miles now, and my average pace is about 7'53" per mile during ten miles.

You go girl! I've been doing a lot of extra workouts for my trip next week. What is it about meeting up w/ friends that you haven't seen a while that makes you want to work so much harder to get in shape? :laughing:

I used to run (um, I mean jog and walk;)) w/ my dog but in the summer months its just too darn hot...hoping to do some more when it finally cools off down here!
 
Hey there Lynn! I was wondering if you remembered what your setting were when you took fireworks pics with your camera. I remember you saying but I can't find it! My husband got me a Canon and I want to be able to take pretty pics like you!
 
we both had the tenderloin steak. Oh my gosh, those mashed potatoes were heavenly - I can't stop thinking about them, lol.

I love the steak!! Were they the mashed potatoes with celery???

Good for you doing some extra workouts! Aww that's so cute. I love when I see people running with their dogs. Ugh I hate running in the heat. So glad that fall is right around the corner.

Life is good here too!! :lovestruc How's the running going?

That's good to know! My running is going well. I'm ready for the half :)

Hey there Lynn! I was wondering if you remembered what your setting were when you took fireworks pics with your camera. I remember you saying but I can't find it! My husband got me a Canon and I want to be able to take pretty pics like you!

I think I had it set on ISO 2 and F16?? I think. You will be amazed at how good your fireworks pictures will turn out.
