No actually I've never done one. Maybe I'll try to put one up tonight. I have all of the ADRs and FPs done and a plan for each day. This is an adult trip (My girls are going on a special trip to Montreal with my inlaws that week) so the focus will be a little different. For example- Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique OUT........... Trader Sam's IN.

Sounds like fun! My dh and I are going to do a trip like that in 2017. Please tag me if you get one up THNX

I had pumpkin muffins made from our Halloween pumpkin yesterday and thought about you.

I had a super large salad with cucumbers, onions, peppers, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, spring mix, pomegranate seeds, fennel and a bit of olive oil and raw apple cider vinegar. I'll bet you're sorry you asked LOL

My mom wouldn't let me have a Ken doll or Barbie. ( she didn't like the mature dolls), me I wanted them for the clothes!

Sympathy like.

Watch out for the caffeine withdrawal headache! Never a good time!

Thanks for the warning. Does it usually hit on the first day or does it come later?

 

[Sabrina D]

You might try cutting down slowly. I always get a horrible headache when I cut off caffeine. Just, a thought!

I'll keep that in mind. It's almost noon so I'm pretty happy with my progress. If the afternoon is harder maybe I'll grab a small coffee and only drink part of it. That sounds better than a headache.

Oh my gosh! That's crazy. I would never go outside. I'm such a city girl. Roving packs of disgruntled teens don't scare me one bit but if I came face to face with a wild animal I'd have a heart attack.

I had a rather large black bear in my neighborhood this year. I make sure to carry an air horn when walking. I much prefer seeing the cute bunnies

I will. If there's interest I'm more likely to do it

........plus with all the tagging you yesterday, I now know what that means

Try a nap or some tea first. The first day is the hardest.

We as a group love hearing about each others trips

We're staying at Yacht Club so I'm sure that we'll walk to Epcot every day. One of the couples that we're traveling with has never been to Disney so hopefully they're practicing up for a lot of walking, a lot of eating, and a lot of laughing

We stayed their for our 25th anniversary, such a nice place. I loved the décor!

Much better idea than mine!

My dh and I have been talking about going the week between Christmas and New Years(2016 into 17) mostly to check out the decorations and resort hop. Are we crazy or do you think we'll have a good time?

I'd hate so see what @MR FERRET would be like if somebody took away his coffee.

Well, for one, the new building is not in our neighborhood. We won't have a school in our neighborhood at all, except for the special ed school. So I'll have to take the kids by bike to the new school and as it is, it's on a very busy street and there's no crosswalk or light...not safe. And DS has motor skills issues and can't ride a bike well and is not allowed on the busy streets (physical therapists instructions/rule,) so getting them to school is going to be a REAL hassle. 2nd, the new building will merge a couple of schools, making class sizes much larger, and the children who go to the other school are from an area where kids are...not very well behaved. There is a LOT of swearing, bullying, etc and it's bad enough at the school my kids go to now. When they merge the two, it's going to get worse.

I always think it is a sad thing when schools close in communities in favour of amalgamating and building larger schools.

Why is @MR FERRET hiding today. Is it because he knows I'm here to defend myself?

We usually stay at one of the Magic Kingdom resorts but last trip we stayed at Boardwalk Inn and I loved that area. I wasn't crazy about the Boardwalk Inn itself but the location close to Epcot and Hollywood Studios was a fun change. We ate dinner at Captain's Grille in the Yacht Club one night and while there walked around the public areas. I loved the place. Hopefully the refurbishment work I've heard about isn't noticeable while we're there. I'm a little worried about that.
