Matterhorn is so cool for its uniqueness, but man is it jarring! I always think I'll be able to brace myself too, but it just doesn't work out... also, sitting in the very front of the bobsled is officially the "scariest" ride for me at DLR. I screamed so much because of that dratted Yeti surprising me.
I really did like HP, and rode it a total of 5 times that day (my kids rode it 7 or 8), but I did better after putting some Motion-Eaze oil behind my ears... I'm really interested to ride Flight of Passage at WDW when we hopefully go in several years. That will be a must!
That is awesome work on the weight loss! It is such hard work, for sure!! I am finally 40 lbs down from last spring, but still 10 lbs to go to pre-baby-#5 and probably another 15-20 to go after that to be at a really healthy weight. It is worth all the work, but it is such a slow process. And yes, Disney is not somewhere you want to eat sensibly. But you also don't want to totally set yourself back a month or two in your progress. Choices, choices! It was much easier when I went with just my husband (since he's GF, DF, and avoids sugar, we weren't focused on treats...) than when I went with my girlfriends!
