They're still pretty snug, but if I lose anymore, they'll only get better. Good part is that I'm pretty sure I can take them on my trip ... as silly as that sounds.

Hot Dog!!!!!!!!!!!

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse HOT DOG Song

Thanks, Doug! That made me smile!

I need to learn that dance and maybe the shorts won't be as snug. Throw in a little of Goofy's moves and my arms will get thinner, too. Ha!

And of course, I'll have to have a hot dog at WDW -- sans bun!  Thank you.

I'll try, but I'm usually the one with the camera. I'm getting better about this now that I've lost almost 60 pounds. Thank goodness. Looking at family pics from the past 12 years, you'd think I was MIA!

Have a wonderful time!!!

You deserve it!

Thanks, Tony!

I'm getting more & more excited about it. My ILs have invited me to WDW many times, but I've always declined. Having grown up in SoCA, I had my share of Disneyland and all the other parks. I'm more of a national park type person -- give me a trail and I'm a happy camper! Maybe that's why my MIL picked the Wilderness Lodge for this time. Ha ha -- at least I'll feel at home. Thanks, again. I'm bringing my laptop to download pictures, so I'll probably post some on my blog and FB page if anyone is interested.

Rena - congratulations on reaching your goal to wear the shorts!  I just checked out your blog page.  I guess I had not read that you were an author of children's books.  I will have to check them out.  I have a grandson that will be 2 in July and a granddaughter that we are planning for in September. 

The Hot Dog (Mickey Mouse) song below is my grandson's favorite!

From growing up in SoCA, I too was burned out with crowded concrete and asphalt "jungles".
