The discount for the hotels vary by day & hotel they range from 10-30%. I had my hotel booked with Ap discount & they came out with a new offer that gave free character dining & an extra discount, so my room dropped an extra $200 plus the free dining worth about $140. So just on this 1 trip I saved somewhere around $500. - UTDISNEYFAMILY184.8 #1810 4-9-13 9:22PMLike(1) Reply

Yeah, in my experience things do quiet down earlier. My guess is that they are probably planning on closing the park at 8 during the week, and 10 on Friday/Saturday/Sunday. The reason for the vague responses is probably because they haven't decided yet, and are waiting to see exactly how many people will be visiting during that time of the year. We are morning people, so it doesn't bother us--I actually prefer visiting in the first few hours of the day because everything is fresh and clean and uncrowded, but I can see how that might be a disappointment. But, it's an opportunity to make new memories and traditions and develop a different routine! :) I think you'll really like the Halloween theming and fall weather. - Spoonful_O_Sugar436.2 #285 7-29-12 7:25AMLike Reply

Before i got pregnant I did the online only program and was doing really well with it. I was down 20lbs since January and never felt like I was "dieting". It really comes down to healthy choices and portions but on those days you go out, or want something that's no ideal you are able to budget for it. It also is motivation to stay on track all day and keep your points low if you know you are going out to dinner, etc. DM me if you ever have any questions!

(Note: I'm saying all of this with support and love :) )
I was thinking the same thing as your coworker, lol. In order to beat the binging issue, I think a change in perspective is necessary: WW is not a diet, it's a healthy lifestyle. Once you reach your goal weight, you're allowed more points, but you're always conscious of your food intake. Lasting weight loss, statistically, isn't related to cutting certain foods out completely--that only works for a small percentage of people for the long-term. It's about moderation for most people. I think you can totally beat the binging cycle with WW, but it will require you to look at food differently than you have on SB and other diet plans :). Good luck with whatever road you take! I'm here for ya! - Spoonful_O_Sugar436.2 #285 4-11-12 2:57PMLike Reply
^^^what she said. Depriving yourself of certain foods can play a huge part in the binge cycle. Once at a retreat I went to, the speaker, who was also. A healthy lifestyle coach, had us do this exercise. She said for us to take a deep breath and hold it until she told us to start breathing again. She then talked and talked for what seemed like forever! When she finally said " ok breathe" we all sucked in huge breaths of air. She explained that this is what happens when we "diet"...when we hold out and deprive ourselves...eventually our willpower stalls out and we stuff ourselves with whatever we've been craving...just like the way we sucked in air when we deprived ourselves of breathing. It was a powerful demonstration for me. Of course, there's also the emotional aspect of binging to deal with. But stopping the diet roller coaster is a huge piece of the answer to being free from it. Yes, you can do the online WW but I highly recommend the meetings. I didn't think I would like the meetings at all but they help me do much! Either way that you choose, WW is a great plan.

So... it's unanimous. Hard to argue with that! I'm definitely going to take a serious look at it. I think what scared me in the past was the whole point thing, but like someone else (Gia?) just posted about, that was a long time ago and my understanding is that it's easier now (the thing that got me on SBD was that it's fairly simple - you eat what's on the list, and avoid what isn't). I've heard only good things about WW all my life, so I guess it's time for me to join up! I've had a horrible week (too many life decisions are on me right now... I actually have a bank soliciting me for a Branch Manager position, but I just don't know which way to go - so, of course I've been eating!).

Started a new job today (Store Manager for Sprint) and learned that my boss is totally into Disney. She goes to WDW (because she has family in FL), but I won't hold that against her! Yay... talking Disney will make life so much easier!
Congrats on new job and talking Disney will help - MarshaMouse2864.4 #15 1-16-12 9:52PMLike(1) Reply
Mahalo everybody~ She even did the "who's your favorite character" thing with the employees at my introductory meeting this morning. I already have it in for the "Tweety Bird" girl and the "Babu" from Aladdin guy! - msdizmaui519.0 #223 1-16-12 10:16PMLike Reply
Sooo excited to read about the plans for the new, night-time "Mad T Party" at DCA. Wasn't into ElecTRONica, but I like having something else to do at night. The House of Cards bar may be my favorite...lol!
I am really excited about it as well:) - BooEve123800.3 #115 1-13-12 12:40PMLike Reply

It'll be themed off of the Tim Burton version of Alice. From the article..."Beginning summer 2012, Disney California Adventure park guests will fall into the rabbit hole and land in a wild and whimsical world at Mad T Party. Inspired by the world of Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland,” the all-new nighttime family celebration will feature a live band, unique entertainment, fun-filled games and plenty of dancing. Familiar faces from the story will be re-imagined in new ways to immerse guests in a captivating world that’s filled with exclusive signature foods, beverages and merchandise offerings." - msdizmaui519.0 #223 1-13-12 1:04PMLike Reply

I just took an online survey re: my last trip to Disneyland. The majority of the questions were about Peter Pan's Flight... How often do you ride it?; How would you describe it to someone that's never been on it?; etc. The weirdest... I More...
I have no insider info, but I totally agree--a car would make no sense, lol. I am usually very supportive of changes in DL, but I would be sad to see this changed :( - Spoonful_O_Sugar436.2 #285 1-12-12 5:13PMLike Reply
I just took that same survey. I got silly about the car?. Told them I wanted to be in a Dodge Mega cab. Figured if I was in Fantasyland I wanted to be in my dream truck. - MissyluvsDisneyland357.6 #396 1-12-12 9:44PMLike Reply

Did anyone else watch the Samantha Brown Aulani webcast today (to get the free lithograph...lol)? I did, and then chatted with a Rep. I had no idea that the Grand is sold out for DVC! (but they called me back and said I could go on a wa More...
I did. I didn't talk to the rep though. Did you guys go over the "special discount" for adding points? My home resort is the Grand. What's yours? - EpicDio381.7 #354 1-4-12 7:40PMLike Reply
I'm not a member. I was interested though, but only if I could have the Grand as my "home" resort. Since it's sold out, they're trying to sell everyone on Aulani or Animal Kingdom resort at WDW (and then use your point at GCH). That's fine I guess, but then you don't get to have "home court" advantage when booking. Not a problem though... I don't have the $$ right now anyway! The special disc. was getting a one time only allottment of extra points (same # as the amount you buy) if you bought in now. - msdizmaui519.0 #223 1-4-12 8:48PMLike Reply
Really? That's smart. Have you ever had issues booking at another resort? They made a big deal about having "first booking" privilleges at your home resort.

I haven't had issues as long as you're flexible. I was able to book the Wilderness Lodge during peak season this past year. I also booked Boardwalk Villas for our trip in two weeks. - EpicDio381.7 #354 1-4-12 9:43PMLike Reply

I was going to post a pic of my sons and I having a great (non-Disney) holiday dinner, but in the middle I got a phone call that my Mom was taken to the ER because she became unresponsive. SOOOO scared... again!

my son is so awesome. I had bought this top this summer but decided that I had spent too much already and returned it. He then snuck out and got it for me for Christmas!

Probably best that you did quit. The stress of that place isn't good for you and you don't want to undo all your weight loss. Hope your Mom is doing better. A better job will come your way. Hang in there. - sewgirl340.5 #431 12-17-11 8:42PMLike Reply

My new job turned out to be a nightmare (they had demoted me because I went to the mainland when my mom fell), and I resigned today. But things looked brighter when I got home and this was waiting for me!
Just say, good riddance and there will be something better waiting for you! Didn't you say that the person who you reported to was your subordinate before you left? Sheesh! - Alicewhoareyou536.0 #209 12-15-11 11:42PMLike(1) Reply
Yep..but she's clueless on so many things. Too weird for me. Going back to San Diego next week...can't wait to wear my sweater! - msdizmaui 519.0 #223 12-15-11 11:43PM
Well, now isn't that a coincidence! I'm in San Diego. Yay for Sandiegans :) - Alicewhoareyou 536.0 #209 12-15-11 11:46PM
There is a reason for everything and I believe in Karma. Dont be surprised when you hear from the company begging you to come back cause they made a huge error in judgement by promoting the nitwit! Best of luck to you! - SUUZinOC715.3 #140 12-16-11 2:05AMLike(1) Reply
Everything happens for a reason. I can't believe they demoted you for that. I know you will find something even better. Congrats on the cute sweater! - Jillian765.4 #129 12-15-11 11:55PMLike Reply
I really hope there will be something better for you out there job-wise. Hopefully for a company that cares more about their employees.

I never even filled out a Job Application! They hired me with just a resume - of course I filled out tax forms, but that's it! They just don't operate like a "real" company (they're a non-profit). Today during a discussion about the financial "stuff", my boss made the statement..."we all know that every company has 2 sets of books... the real ones and the ones that they show the IRS!". WTH!?! I'm a banker! Who are these people!?! - msdizmaui519.0 #223 12-6-11 10:01PMLike Reply
