My trip isn't until January but I will be at Saratoga springs which is a first.

We haven't officially decided if we are arriving on 1/1/17 or 1/2/17. But I will be staying until 1/10/17.

I will be running the Walt Disney World Marathon weekend Dopey Challenge! 48.6 miles in four days.
A 5K on 1/5/17, 10K on 1/6/17, Half Marathon on 1/7/17, and a Full marathon on 1/8/17.

I can start booking ADRs in like 13 days so I need to figure out where we will be eating.

I am traveling with my mom, one of my sisters, my grandma, and some friends of ours.

 

[Accident]

I may go out tonight to a park but undecided right now, weather is a little overcast so waiting to see what this turns into.

Tomorrow I'm hoping to do a day at universal. Never really did universal for a full day and outside of harry potter I've only walked around so it's time to start jumping in and experiencing those parks.

Sunday I'll be at the epcot tables in wonderland food and wine preview event so a couple hours to eat all I want of the food coming soon (and a few beverages).. plus hang out with all the press and bloggers/podcasters. I have some fastpasses lined up to try out the new ride and the rest of them. I think I still have a valid 5 person paper pass which I'll use for frozen and bring in a few new friends that I meet on the way there.

One thing I'm trying to do is see what the parks are like on holidays so the july 4th weekend I do plan to hit somewhere with different fireworks. I didnt' see a schedule yet (haven't really looked) but i'm hoping mk has them on july 3rd. There is also a special going on at sea world and while that place doesn't hugely interest me, I do love fishies so i might spend a day there this same weekend.

I have been missing some of the restaurants around property so I may take them for a whirl here and there but that can get really costly really fast so not overboard..

Oh did you mean actual vacation trips???

 

[SorcererHeidi]

They all sound like awesome plans (even Llama!) and I sure wish I could join you all, but I will enjoy hearing how happy you all are enjoying yourselves, so please let me know if I need to go to other boards or anything when you come back and do trip reports, so I can read them (ESPECIALLY food reviews!!!)

Think of me @ Biergarten, Jes, and "Hoi, hoi, HOI!!!" for me!! That's a "must do" for me,and was the 1 place I asked the alien to teleport me to eat! (Geeze, that sentence sounded WEIRD!!) Cindy and Phil -If you have the presspot coffee @ Kona, think of me - I've heard it's amazing, want to try someday! Ryan - Bravo to you for training/running the marathon - You know how much admiration I have for that dedication! Bryan - Enjoy the F&W event - I've heard those are awesome. As much as I enjoy F&W, I'd love to try one of those events sometime. Llama - Don't really think Chik-Fil-a is "all that", but I know those that idolize that place - enjoy your lunch! I'll be having my usual turkey on whole wheat. Got to keep the weight loss up!

Look, if you are going to probe me, can there at least be an Oompa band playing?

UPDATE: I did, in fact, go to Chick-Fil-A today.

I do have to comment that the title of this thread made me smile sadly, remembering The Trip.

That'll be on Phil, I don't drink coffee

 

[Tonyz]

So Jes, you're there from the 24th to the 1st? (I know I've asked this like 4 times already)

 

[TheMaxRebo]

That'll be on Phil, I don't drink coffee

don't worry - I got the covered ... that's roughly 57.26% of the reason I booked breakfast there

 

[SorcererHeidi]

That'll be on Phil, I don't drink coffee

Okay - how about the pineapple macadamia nut pancakes (with the pineapple sauce on the side if its' sweet, and a side of sausage, please - hey if it's me "virtually earting" I can "virtualy order" exactly what I want, right?) , or the yummy looking Samoan (do'n't know if I'd like the pulled pork though)?

When you get the pineapple macadamia pancakes you have to get the ham, not sausage.
Freakin tourists

 

[SorcererHeidi]

NO!

Freakin' purists. (or pigists, or something like?)

 

[pjweaver]

Ham and pineapple go together like ice cream and whipped cream, or scotch and an ice cube.

try it next time

 

[NeuroCindy]

I'm going for the Tonga Toast I think

Yeah, I do like ham, and I do like pineapple. But - I don't like SWEET pineapple sauce (or any cooked fruit, too sweet). And I don't like "Hawaiian pizza, or ham OR pineapple on that" - blech!! So - while I might like real "fruit" pineapple with some nice salty ham, I wouldn't like pineapple "sauce if it's sweet at all. Not much of a pancake eater either, actually. Prefer eggs, if having breakfast, and also prefer sausage.
