Gotta make sure you have your caffeine fix - am doing the same before we board the plane!
Me too! I'm getting scared that I won't have everything done in time!Yay! I can't believe it's getting so close. I need to get cracking on my own lists!
I actually don't have a first day tradition, which is strange because I've been so many times. I just go with it.
I must have my caffeine... especially that early in the day!Great travel day plans!
Think we are hoping to start a tradition of going to DTD on our arrival day but will be able to let you know if it happens soon enough!
Anyway, I really want to do it but the price is a bit steep. Its $189 per person for a 3 hour tour and a little bit of lunch.
Lol my head was spinning like crazy at one point as well with all the choices!
Luckily, I think I have everything sorted now. In answer to your question I would go with Discovery Cove (only because I have never been and it seems like you get more out of your money) however as you guys have already been I think WAT might be a better choice - have seen pics of the tour and it looks great.
Thy gym would be at the bottom of my list only because I know I would only go a few times and then not bother going after that!
Ahhhh we still haven't made a decision. Mr. D is pulling for Discovery Cove and I'm actually leaning toward save the money now! Round and round and round she goes, where she'll stop...
Yay for 3 weeks, your trip will be here before you know it!
Trying to get all caught up on everyone's reports.
What a decision to make, for me I would do Discovery Cove, I love dolphins and this would be a dream come true. Unfortunately it is not in the budget for our family of 6 at this time. You've been there twice but if your not returning until 2015 you may want to do it now because you never know what will happen in those next few years, you may have another person vacationing with you
Matt and i debated the WAT too when deciding on a tour for our trip and went w/ KTTK (as you know)... the price is just too steep. I have heard mixed reviews....although DC sounds really cool, I have read a few nice reviews...your trip isn't super long, do you have the spare gap in time to fit it in? what would it take out of your existing Disney touring plans 
I personally don't want to leave my happy place of Disney while we are there 
I have just over 40 days and will keep trying...if you don't lose it before you go...at least it will be getting easier to keep it up to keep it off keep a PLAN B in your head for any possible travel delays or room not quite being ready on time...we always take a carry-on w/ change of clothes, med's...for anything we think we need after we land while waiting on luggage to arrive...I found POP to be a bit slow on that, but our rooms were ready. Our your ressies linked to keep rooms by each other? call GS to find out...
I was thinking save the money. That's what I had decided on and I was 100% sure, but DH convinced me with some logically and emotionally good arguments. This is the first trip where he will be getting paid vacation pay from work while he's away. Also, he is in the army reserves and they're starting back up next week. My employer owes me this year's vacation pay too, so there's actually going to be enough money around to cover it without it hurting. At this point I would rather do the KTTK tour than the WAT, more for your money. We've done DC (me twice) and normally I would say that's enough and there's no need to do it again, but we both loved it so so very much (an amazing way to relax in the middle of a busy Disney week, I must say!) Our trip isn't too long, but we actually have two fairly empty days -- Thursday nothing but a 6:20 ADR at Epcot and Friday nothing but Richard Petty for the boys in the morning, no afternoon plans. So even if we do go to DC on Thursday, we still have Friday afternoon as an extra day. I don't love "cheating" on Disney much either, but I can't help it, I do love Discovery Cove...
first off for the decision btwn saving=gym membership OR WAT or DC....I'd actually say go w/ the saving...
re "defeated" you are NOT defeated...to lose those few precious pounds to feel better about yourself to fit better in clothes TAKES time believe me I know...making a life style change of diet, excersize and new routine takes alot of time...was stoked when I lost 1.5 and then the next day gained it right back
I'm feeling much better now. PMS maybe? lmao, I was just having an off day. We're lucky we only have one plane change! We live in Cape Breton -- an island which makes up the northern 1/4 of Nova Scotia. It's small and has tiny planes that don't go anywhere, so usually we have to fly from Sydney to Halifax (an hour flight or a 4 hour drive, we'd rather fly, especially with Air Miles because it's the same amount of miles from Sydney or Halifax!) then from Halifax to Toronto or Montreal before going to Orlando, so this is great for us! We will definitely be packing a change of clothes etc in our carry on. Our ressies should be linked, they're supposed to be. I could call and find out!
re Day1) Arrival....a plane change...din't know you had to do that...sounds like a long travel day but i love your arrival plans of just easing into your resort and enjoying some time at the Boardwalk
looking forward to hearing more of your day to day plans
J~
Can't wait to visit DHS and ride TSMM! Hope the early ADR helps you in your mission!
Looking forward to all the shows and eating at 50s PTC as well.
on going to Discovery Cove!! Thinks it's a good choice and can't wait to hear all about it.
the shows are one of the best things there...too bad it so hard to juggle them all in one day ...that is one huge sandwich at SRC...
Yay on DC! I've never been there, but it's something I want to try to do on an upcoming trip. I just need to budget the money.
You got a lot accomplished! I was trying to do some packing today, but I think I failed miserably.
Wow, you sure got a lot accomplished - even I haven't done some of those things yet!
Yay on being in the teens and on 18 days today! Single digits will be here before you know it!
