Thanks, Jane. My DH brought up a good point the other day. He reminded me the doctor changed up some medicine I've been taking (trying to get me off of HBP medicine). The change occurred at the same time as the weight gain so I'm wondering if there is a connection. Either way, I know that I"m doing everything I'm supposed to be doing, and that's the best I can ask of myself. This has made me a little calmer about my weight, even if I am +1.8 for the week.
Let's see... the Indy ride. We all liked it, quite a lot actually. But of all the things out there we thoght it was the most over-hyped. Yes it was cool, but it wasn't "the best attraction ever done by Disney or any other theme park", which is how a friend of ours described it to us. After we rode it the first time, DH and I looked at each other and said, "That was it?" We ended up riding it a lot and found many very cool things about it (including the longest queue in history which was quite well done).
Splash was down for refurb while we were there so we couldn't compare it. PotC was WAY better! SM was also better. The ride was so much smoother, and the music just made it that much cooler. HM the actual ride itself seemed the same to me, but I loved the outside so much more, and the area in between the stretching rooms and the doom buggies was much better too.
I've also heard that Fantasmic! is supposed to be better than the one at WDW, but we thought otherwise. I think that there were several major elements of the show that were not working the night we saw it. We had a CM standing next to us who happened to be from Austin but lives in LA now. He was telling us that there was supposed to be some sort of action around the pirate ship that wasn't working (a crocodile, maybe?) And the big dragon that I've heard so much about was a no-show. So maybe if those things had been working we'd feel differently. But based on what we saw, WDW has the advantage based on the dedicated viewing area alone.
The viewing area was also sore spot for WOC. I did a lot of research so I knew to get there early and get a spot right by the railing. Sadly, our railing spot was the wrong one becuse we really couldn't see the show. And when it started the crowd kind of pushed forward, making it even worse. The show itself was very impressive, but I can't believe Disney couldn't come up with a better solution for viewing than what they have. We watched it a second time from the 6th floor terrace at GCV which wasn't the greatest spot because you couldn't see the projections. But you could see all the fountain work so that was really cool.
The "Sully Incident" is kind of a longish story and I've got to run to Scouts. It's my youngest DS's very last Den meeting, as he's crossing over into Boy Scouts next weekend, so it's kind of bittersweet. I'll fill you guys in on the details later on today or tomorrow.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!! I'm looking for some big losses this week from all you ladies to make up for my gain. Don't let me down!!!
