The NEW Official November 2010 Countdown & Planning Thread ~ Come join us! (Part 2)

I've not had one either and honestly... didn't know they existed until right before my trip last February

I will be trying one this trip though

My sister and I discovered Dole Whips by chance one hot day when we were in adventureland and it was like an epiphany. We thought it was the most refreshing treat ever!! And just so you know, they also have them at Captain Cooks in the Poly!

 

[MickeyMomOfThree]

QOTD- The Castle for sure! And I am the most frugal person I know but I couldn't pass up the experience that a night in the castle would be. (Truth be told, I would enjoy that amazing night then pay my own way to stay longer.)

As for Dole Whips, I like the Pineapple on Pineapple Float myself. Mmmmmmm, that is the best! We had Dole Whips and enjoyed them before the DIS but never had the float. What were we thinking???? That makes it so amazing! Please, have one, have many!!! Don't worry about them not being everything we say they are, they will be!!!

 

[PrincessDez]

Nah, it doesn't have to be those two things. I just threw those out there for a idea. It is basically whatever it is you are looking forward to. My wording (and typing) weren't coming off so well this morning. I blame it on all the allergy meds I am on at the moment... none of which are doing a darn thing but making me sleepy! lol

I feel the same way about my allergy meds. I love winter when I don't have to take as many. Although I still have to have my 4 shots a month!
I am also looking forward to Osborne Lights as well! Love, love, love them!

Here is a QOTD: would you rather spend one night in Cindy's castle in the suite or have a weeklong Disney vacation for free?

Hmmmm, that is a REALLY hard one. I would LOVE to stay a night in the castle. But, being a typical mom I would take the week long free vacation for the familes sake. Although if the family wasn't a factor it would be the castle by a mile!!!!

To the one who said 'my carb cheat of the day' girl, you're in WDW there is no diet!
I've lost about 28 lbs in the last year, going to Maui this past May was a big motivation. And while I made lifestyle changes about my food rather then a 'diet' I will still splurge a little while in WDW and not really care.

Todays QOTD....I'd take the free weeklong vacation. Maybe I'm weird but that's the practical side of me I guess. LOL!

 

[mollybug2]

Definitely a free week-long vacation. This will be my 6 year old's first trip and we are leaving daddy and 3 year old brother at home. So we have lots of Disney trips to catch up on before I could really choose a night in the castle!

 

[Trackey79]

I was thinking the same thing. I would be shocked if Bobby Brown was there. I loved Boyz II Men when they came out in the 80's, so hopefully we can see them

I actually saw Rick Springfield in concert at the ripe ole age of 14 in 1984, so I am interested to see how he has changed through the years. I am quite sure my children will be the only ones in the crowd under the age of 30 or 35 that will even know any of his songs

Here is a QOTD: would you rather spend one night in Cindy's castle in the suite or have a weeklong Disney vacation for free?

I would have to say the week at WDW. I have only been twice and ther is still so much to do and see! I have never even had a Dole Whip

 

[Trackey79]

Here is a QOTD: would you rather spend one night in Cindy's castle in the suite or have a weeklong Disney vacation for free?

Although I desperately would love to stay in the suite at Cinderella's castle with a family of six, I would definitely have to take the week long free trip I've seen the pics of the suite though and let me just say WOW! I would just love to sit in that big ole jacuzzi tub they have in there and to know it was right in the center of my favorite place to be, well who could ask for anything more from a vacation!

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

never had a dole whip either!! I didnt know they were even a big deal til I read about them here a few years ago---and I must say, I don't think I have ever seen anyone with one on all of our trips!! I don't even know where you get them. Crazy huh!!

Shawna!! Really??? You better try one this time! They sell them in Adventureland at Aloha Isle.

Gosh, a girl doesn't visit for a week or so, and you go & move into a new neighborhood on her. Anyway, I'm back & I'm lovin' the new digs.

Glad you found us!

Here is a QOTD: would you rather spend one night in Cindy's castle in the suite or have a weeklong Disney vacation for free?

Hmm. . . I guess that would depend on where the free weeklong stay was. . . But for practical reasons I would probably go with the free vacation no matter what!

As for Dole Whips, I like the Pineapple on Pineapple Float myself. Mmmmmmm, that is the best! We had Dole Whips and enjoyed them before the DIS but never had the float. What were we thinking???? That makes it so amazing! Please, have one, have many!!! Don't worry about them not being everything we say they are, they will be!!!

Yep, the pineapple float with pineapple dole whip is the best!!

 

[shinysparklybubbles]

If I'd pick Cinderella's Castle I'd have to make sure DH didn't know I turned down a free vacation lol, he'd kill me!! Oh how i would love to stay in that Castle, but the mommy in me would pick the free week.

 

[cyndiloveswalt]

I'd pick the castle!
I can't believe how quickly time is going now. I knew it would once school started. Fall always does and it's my favorite time of year!
Work has been crazy. I have worked with my Mom for years at her store at the beach. We do custom window treatments, Hunter Douglas blinds, and have a fabric store. Well, on August 1st I officially bought my mom out of the store and am now in charge of everything and responsible for 4 full time employees, including my 2 sisters. It has been great, but also stressful. I guess it will get easier having to deal with every aspect of the business.

 

[derrickmom]

The count down is on!!!

Did I say "carb splurge"? I should have said "one of my carb splurges- LOL!!
Congrats on your weight loss. I lost 25 lbs last year in preparation for husband's return from deployment. I have kept it off, but it is hard to stay on the plan while in the World...

QOTD- weeklong free vacay without a doubt. Now, if the kiddos were grown and it was just DH and me I might have to rethink a night in the castle...

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

45 DAYS!!

 

[Trackey79]

45 DAYS!!

Us too!!!! Isn't it awesome!!? I cannot believe how fast time seems to be fying now!

 

[Pumba's Truth]

60 Days today who hoo

Oh ... 18lbs gone and only 26.5 more to go. hmm .. 26.5 lbs in 60 days... well it's doable.

 

[CajunMomof3]

Oh ... 18lbs gone and only 26.5 more to go. hmm .. 26.5 lbs in 60 days... well it's doable.

I am with you on trying to meet my weight loss goal before getting there- so I can cheat with less guilt while I am on vacay!
