Getting Fit for Disney (and Life of course!)

This is great! Thanks for the replies and for sharing everyone My trip is now 48 days away and I can't wait! Hubby already wants to start packing lol. Last year was our first trip and we stayed at Coronado Springs Resort. We had the time of our lives and booked another trip for this year. This time we're staying at Port Orleans resort - Alligator Bayou section.

I just had a huge "gush" of weight loss over the past 3 days. I was retaining water big time. My goal is to get below 160 lbs before I make the trip. 155 lbs would be fantastic! This morning I was 165. 10 lbs!

Please feel free to add me as a friend if you like.

Thanks Brian!! Last year was our first trip to Disney World and we absolutely loved it! I completely agree that my lighter body will thank me which is why I want to lose another 8 lbs before the trip. Our travel date is the hottest time of year for Florida and it's a lot of walking.

I'm very excited to stay at Port Orleans resort. We stayed at the Coronado Springs last year and it was beautiful. I'm reading excellent reviews for Port Orleans as well.

Thanks for the tip on dining. We've been booking our reservations for the last few months so I think we're all set! :-) I know I will enjoy the dining plan while I'm down there - hence another reason to lighten up

Huge Disney fan here!

We just went last month and had a great time. Your smaller body will thank you as you will find it easier to stay cooler and there is a LOT of walking to do.

I went there for my honeymoon in fact, 17 years ago and stayed at the Port Orleans (Called Dixie Landings at the time). Loved it. Nice hotel.

One tip: If there are any specific restaurants you want to experience, book now. It can be difficult to get reservations at some of the more popular spots.

You can totally do this!! Please feel free to add me as a friend for support if you like.

Hi there! My family goes to Disney World every other year and every year I say I'm going to lose weight so I can ride with my kids instead of sitting on a bench all day. Every year, I fail. We are heading back in June 2013 and this time I am determined to lose. Good luck to you and I hope you have an awesome trip!

Wow a Disney Cruise! I would love to go on one as well. Are they more expensive compared to a Disney World vacation? Is there much to do on the cruise? You can definitely do this! Please feel free to add me as a friend for support if you like.

My family is going on a Disney Cruise in February. I'd really like to lose 50 pounds by then. If I work really hard, I can do it!

What a great idea for motivation! I know the thoughts of wearing my bathing suit to Typhoon Lagoon has me second guessing any time a sweet craving hits. I'd also like to plan a trip to do a Disney run/marathon some year.

I promised my children in January of this year that if I lost 50 lbs we would go to Disney next year. I am a little behind goal, but I will make my goal and we will go. It was a way to get them in on supporting me when I want to exercise and eat right. They are teens but still they are excited about another trip to the Magic Kingdom.
