We're going back! Wait, you're parents are coming?! A Sept 2012 PTR! Update 9/10!

[mxkris]

Yeah, I've always been one of those, "yeah I'll start next week", kind of people! But with spending 3 days at the beach coming up in like 6 weeks, I was starting to panic!! LOL!!

 

[BearcatsFan]

How's the C25k going for you? I finally started walking ... yesterday.

 

[mxkris]

Pretty good! Just finished week 1! This week included:

5 minute warm-up (which is a "brisk" walk)

Then you alternate jogging for a minute, and then walking for a minute and a half for 20 minutes

and a 5 minute cool-down (which is also the "brisk" walk)

Totaling 30 minutes.

Next week is jogging for a minute and a half with 2 minutes of walking. I think I'll do the first one on Sunday, because I'm teaching tomorrow (Saturday), then, day 2 on Tuesday. Matt and I will be off on Wednesday, so that's definitely my off day. Then day 3 on Thursday again! I hope I can sick with it!

I'm glad you started walking!! Gotta get ready for WDW!! only 42 days!!

 

[BearcatsFan]

Go you! Great job sticking with it this week!

 

[Nemo32]

Joining in! Your plans look great. Ohana will not disappoint, just save lots of room for all of the food! Looking forward to reading more!

 

[BearcatsFan]

Saving you from page 3!

Hope things are going well with week 2 of C25k.

 

[BearcatsFan]

Saving you from page 3 again! Where you at?

 

[mxkris]

Thanks for saving me!! Sorry I've been so busy and haven't updated in a while! Unfortunately I wasn't busy doing Couch 2 5k!! It doesn't look like I'm going to even get another run in this week. Monday was my "off" day from running, then Matt was off on Tuesday, then we were BOTH on on Wednesday so we went downtown to the World of Coke and the GA Aquarium. However, I probably did enough walking that day to cover my running day! My legs are still sore two days later because I wore crappy flip flops!! We had a great time though and I think after the mob at the aquarium we're definitely ready for Disney!!

I can't believe we only have 35 days left! How did that happen?? We still need to book a room for Daytona but Matt keeps putting it off saying they won't go anywhere. Um, okay I guess. We'll just show up and ask for a room for three nights? HAHA, whatever!! I'm just ready for the break for work! I've been working 4 4 days at work, then Saturdays at MSF so i've been busy! Nothing else new to reallt report.. just waiting 35 more days!!!!!

​

 

[BearcatsFan]

You'll get back with the program ... just remember, Daytona, the beach, bathing suit ... What do you think has me going into warpspeed?

Depends on what days you're going to Daytona, but Matt may be right (HATE to say THAT!). If you're doing weekdays, it's entirely possible to walk up and get a room for a couple of nights in the off-season when we're going. Weekend nights, though, might be a different story ... in which case, YOU would be right!

The next couple of weeks is going to FLY!

 

[Whereisalyssa]

Not much is going on but I feel like I need to make some kind of update! I started a running/walking program. I was trying to run/walk before but I always had an excuse not to do it! I just started Couch 2 5K and got the app on my phone and I'm on day 2 of that! I'm hoping i'll be able to lose a couple extra lbs before our trip and then continue from there. My long term goal would be to run a 5k soon and then hopefully work up to run a race at Disney to give me another excuse to go!!!

That's pretty much it right now though... 47 days to go and I sort of started soft packing. Just threw some toiletries together and some other small things i bought at Target like ponchos! Not much else to do but sit and wait I guess!!!

That's awesome! I wish I could run but I have terrible asthma oh well.

You're getting closer! sitting and waiting is harder than it seems trust me!! I keep changing all of our plans because I'm getting bored of waiting! hahaha

 

[mxkris]

Aw that stinks. I used to have pretty bad asthma. Sometimes it still gets to me and I have to use an inhaler but I can manage it okay. It mostly only bothers me when I get sick, which by the way I feel like i'm getting right now. My throat started hurting at work today and I feel pretty crummy tonight. It's not surprising in my line of work. With 30 babies around spreading germs it's pretty hard to stay healthy 100% of the time even with constant glove wearing, hand washing, and everything else! I hope it's not too bad since I have to teach tomorrow and be outside all day doing physical work!

Maybe I can get it out of my system now since we're only 28 days away from WDW!!!!!

 

[Fantasyland Mom]

28 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sooooooooooo excited!!!!!

 

[disprincessesmom1012]

Ive been MIA from the DIS for far too long. Lol. All your plans look great. Love your dining cards. I will have to do those now too. Haha. I was just at walmart and almost bought the same bag! I ended up with a clear vinyl one. Its for our stroller. Figure if they can see its just kids clothes and ponchos in it they prob wont steal it. Lol.

 

[cfw213]

Woah I haven't read your PTR in a while, but I'm all caught up now!!

First - I have motion sickness too and I would really recommend skipping Star Tours. No other rides at WDW bother me except the teacups, but I felt really really sick after riding star tours.

Good luck with your couch to 5k!! I tried it my senior year in college & it's a really good program...I learned that running bothered my knees and I had to stop doing it, but I really enjoyed it.

Lastly, I noticed you're doing nemo instead of Festival of the LK in AK...they're both really cute, but LK is AMAZING! Also, Nemo is long and sucks up at least an hour by the time you wait and watch the show (I think its around 40-45 mins). Either way, they're both enjoyable.

Our trips are both getting so close!

 

[Nemo32]

I'm a huge germaphobe...I'm the crazy person in WDW using Purell after EVERY ride, but sometimes sick is unavoidable. Sending good vibes your way

 

[BearcatsFan]

Hope you are feeling better soon. Your update was a few days ago, so you're at what ... 25 days now?

 

[Fratthouse]

Hi! I'm joining in on your PTR - looks like you have a really fun trip planned! I wanted to echo two things CFW said:

First - I have motion sickness too and I would really recommend skipping Star Tours. No other rides at WDW bother me except the teacups, but I felt really really sick after riding star tours.

Lastly, I noticed you're doing nemo instead of Festival of the LK in AK...they're both really cute, but LK is AMAZING! Also, Nemo is long and sucks up at least an hour by the time you wait and watch the show (I think its around 40-45 mins). Either way, they're both enjoyable.

My husband has some issues with motion sickness and Star Tours was the worst! He handled all the other rides / roller coasters fine, but that ride did him in for the rest of the day. Maybe consider putting it off until last, just in case....

Also, we are really into shows, and Nemo is our second favorite in all of WDW. But our first favorite is Festival of the LK. So if you haven't seen it, maybe consider adding it to your list? It's a good one

Hope you have a wonderful trip - it'll be here before you know it!

 

[BearcatsFan]

You've gone MIA again Hope you're feeling better!

 

[BearcatsFan]

Ummmm ... hellooooooo! We have like three weeks left - I know you're going crazy by now like I am with the plans. Need an update!

 

[mxkris]

Haha! I'm glad you're checking on me! Our internet hasn't been working so I haven't been able to get on here!! I'm on my phone right now!!

Yes I'm excited, we have 20 days to go!! I feel like I have a ton to do but Matt wont let me over pack or over plan or anything. He's already going crazy thinking about how we have a planned park and planned meal each day! I guess i'll just wait out the next three weeks and throw everything in a suitcase and hope for the best! LOL

On another note, no Mickey Mail yet.. I got an email from my TA saying that my parent's had arrived, but not ours.. So he called Disney and they were resenting it out.. UGH! So now I gotta wait for it to get to the TA, then to us! I guess its not that much of a big deal though? What all is in there? We're not flying so just luggage tags and check in info?
