[Charleston Princess]

Wow! Where to begin with comments???

Is that a Lost on Safari I see Wigd drinking? And Baylor looks like he was getting in on the texting fun!

The cruise looks like a blast! Baylor sitting there with his life jacket on was cracking me up! He does not look comfortable!

Nassau is so pretty, and I love the picture of Wigd and Shocker at Paolo! Too cute!

 

[MeMom]

Love the cruise pictures!
The food looks so good.

I knew Baylor would find friends.

That purse place does look like a sweat box, for sure!

The Mickey head Mickeys with tails are too cute!
We might have to borrow that idea, with your permission.

I'm glad you guys had such a good time.

 

[mickeysmyboy]

So many fabulous pictures I'm not even sure what to comment on!
Your DeVine pics are fabulous!!!! You and MEK are rockin the fab DeVine pics!!!

Love the texting pictures!

The cruise looks like so much fun! I love the pictures from the carriage ride! I also love the picture of you guys with goofy!!! It really shows how much fun your having!!!

 

[jenjolt]

FIRST OF ALL... YAY WOOT...for Scales being found!!! That is GREAT!!!!!

Wow so many gorgeous pictures!!!

Love the pictures of the Boardwalk and Epcot resort area at night, Disney is so much more magical to me at night!!!

The cruise looks like so much fun!! I would love to go on one someday!!!!! And the Bahamas....wow just breathtaking!!!

Looks like a lot of fun was had!!!!!!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Wow! I agree so much to comment on.

I also spied the Lost on Safari, CP! Dawa Bar looks like it was empty!

Wigd in her shower cap cracked me up on FB and did again here!

Baylor did get in on the texting. The family that texts together stays together... right?

Cruise definitely looks like a blast. Love the picture of you guys with Goofy. You both look so happy!

You did a great job decorating your door!

Did Palo live up to its reputation? Did you have any trouble getting a reservation there?

 

[wigdoutdismom]

OK. I wanna play too.

We need a conference call!

Thanks for voting, sure hope they win!

Hi wsushocker , what a wonderful idea of putting this here. I just voted, hope they'll get the pepsi grant . Happy Father's Day !!!

He comes up with some great ideas!

Great updates. That is a loooottttt of texts!! I cannot believe that I missed meeting you, Jen and trent by a day. Accckkk.

I couldn't believe we missed you by one day!

Joining in! It sounds like you had a great trip and I am SO jealous that you are going back so soon! Congrats on your new grandbaby! Cooper is my all time favorite boys name!

I think Cooper is a darling name for a boy!

Voted!!!

Hope you had a great Father's Day Marc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What great character interactions!!!!! Got some rare ones indeed!!!!!!!! You got to love that Capt. Jack was at the Private Entrance...VERY COOL INDEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were surprised by Capt. Jack!

This is one of Brooklynn's favorites. She would have warned you about holding your nose in a certain section of the ride.

My dad would have loved that certain part of the ride, he always told us he liked that smell....

Wow. You guys really had great character luck on this trip. I might faint if Capt Jack was waiting for me at the entrance!

What did you guys think of your first ride with Figment?

It's always fun checking off another first at Disney, not sure how quickly we'll beat a path back to it though.

Captain Jack and Brer Fox??? Wow!!!

So, what did everyone think of Figment's ride?

I think we'll wait until Harper is with us to ride with Figment again!

do you remember where you saw these guys? i need to add them to my character list for epcot for my clients.




captain jack at epcot??? where??????

The first group was just outside of Club Cool on the back side.
Capt Jack was at the IG.

You are speeding right through this!

You all had great character mojo!

We were speeding through it until we stalled out with a workshop! Back to full speed ahead!

 

[disneyfan61]

Wow so many great pics

I love the pic of Wigd with the shower cap on. Too funny!!

The cruise looks like it was so much fun. Glad to see Baylor made a friend.

The Bahamas looks so pretty!!

 

[Lady Lallie]

I'm so happy that you found Scales!

I love your cruise door decorations. Especially the Ariel one, very very pretty.

I really want to go on a Disney Cruise now.

 

[MHTeacher]

Love all your pictures, especially the cruise shots.

Cute idea with the Mickey heads made to look like the back of a mouse. I like that!

How great were the shows on the ship?

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Great characters! Didn't know Capt. Jack was in Epcot!!

We were lucky with characters in Epcot! Capt. Jack was at the IG on our way out. Donald was there most days...

While Camden is a very nice name, I live in New Jersey and would NEVER name my child Camden! Just sayin...

Congrats on a baby boy - I only had girls (3 of them YIKES!) so I always joked I would never know what to do with one!

The first thing you do is cover a certain part when you are changing them....

That's the problem with names if you have some kind of negative association with them. For a teacher, it's really hard, because so many names someone might pick, we will at because of a former student we have had.

Oh yes, there are certain names I've told Keeley, please no!

I use to work in daycare and we did the same thing. Name association!

The longer you teach the longer the list...

What great characters you guys saw so far! Jiminy Cricket is tops on my list

Isn't Jiminy the best?

I fell behind and am all caught up now. Congrats on your grandson. Glad to hear all is well with the baby and mom. I too worked in daycare and have a lot name associations. I do like Tucker though. I love your shirt and the white flip flops. Where did that shirt come from? It seems everyone has one. Also seems like you are catching all the characters.

The shirt came from Disnshopping.com I think it was on sale! The white flip flops are Teva mushes. I love them for park touring. Great arch support and a really soft foot bed.

I voted and posted a link on my FB! I really, really hope they win!!!

My goodness you guys so many characters and great ones at that!!!!

Thanks for voting! We were so lucky with the characters this time, we'll see how we do on the trip coming up!

OMG! OMG! OMG! Captain Jack was doing Meet & Greets in Epcot????!!!! I have to know where!

He was at the IG!

I agree on the name associations. I have a Christopher, I liked the name from a childhood friend who just had qualities I would want in my child.

Through the years, I had many Christophers that I learned their name on the first day because I was saying it all day long.

I named my son Christopher anyway and yes, we have had those moments but he is also a kind, giving son.
I am afraid for the day a girl breaks his heart, because he is so giving.

Just from this last week of camp, Myles is a mess, Jon has anger issues,and Bridget is cute as a button.

If you around enough kids, sometimes the associations cancel each other out. Unless you get a special one, like Alyssa

I have lots of positive associations too, it just seems like the negative ones stick out in your mind more!

You saw lots of characters! Love Baylor's shirt!

Michellem118 here on the DIS designed his shirt for him!

Holy cats you have character mojo!

Voted!!!!!!!!

We must, we saw lots of them!

I was BORN in Camden, NJ and I would have to say that I second this opinion!

Major character mojo and for Captain Jack.

Do I dare say that I notice Baylor is modeling manpris? Love his British Invasion shirt!

Didn't Michelle do a nice job with that? Shocker ironed it on the shirt! I got the manpris!

Yep, he sure is!

He didn't mind a bit!

Where did you find Capt. Jack?

He was just beyond England at the IG.

 

[jillyb]

Love all the pictures! The close ups of DiVine are awesome!

That Straw Market place made me feel claustrophobic. It also made me think "Guard your wallet!". That place looks like a pick-pocket paradise!

 

[Poolrat]

Zoom Zoom.
Loving the Ak and cruise pics.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Wow! What a eclectic mix of characters.

Yes it was, we just take them as they come!

My 13 yo daughter is Alyssa and I think she is pretty special!

Although for a boy I always like the name Gunner - so that is my vote!! Of course being 100% Italian I really wanted to name a boy either Salvatore or Carmine - but only got girls!

What a great list of names!

Jack!! Jiminy!!!! Omg, Brer Fox!!! Splash is my 2nd fav attraction at WDW and I want to get a picture with all three Brer Fox, Brer Bear, and Brer Rabbit but I have never even seen Brer Rabbit out

It would be quite a greet to have them all together!

Me neither! I think Brer Rabbit does greets in AK somewhere.

I agree!

I have had some staff members named Alyssa that have redeemed the name.

I had a hard time trying to find the one that just hearing the name sent a shiver. But I think by now I have had always had another child by the same name that has redeemed it somewhat.

I still know every Christopher on the first day. Not necessarily a bad kid, I just have to keep calling his name.

Just curious, why do you have to keep calling the name? What is this child doing?

Awesome character meets! Next trip I am going to make it more of a priority to have more character meets!

We were lucky because we didn't wait long for any of them. We simply will not waste our time waiting in lines...

Okay, I think I am finally caught up!! I go away for the weekend and get waaaay behind. I think it is funny that you saw a celebrity. When we were at the GF in May, Rebecca Lobo was staying there and was at the pool with her kids. She was a WNBA player and a sportscaster now. My husband cannot stand her because she played for UConn so he was not impressed
I know what everyone means about word association when naming your children. The hardest part about having my boys was finding a name because my husband is a teacher and every name I liked had some bad student associated with it.
love all the pics of characters. I wish we were that lucky!!

That was my first celeb sighting! I was impressed!

Wow, you saw a great mix of characters. Like everyone else, I want to know where you found Capt. Jack Sparrow doing a meet and greet?

Being a teacher, I hear you on the name association thing. When I was pg with the girls (before we knew they were girls), DH and I could never agree on a boy's name. He wanted Chad, and EVERY Chad I have ever had in class was a booger! No way was I going to use that name.

Capt. Jack was at the IG. seems like they are putting some of the British characters down there as well!
I hope Keeley doesn't decide on a booger name for her little boy!

It looks like the area over by the International Gateway, or Anita's private entrance as some call it . That's the bridge going into France behind them.

Exactly Stephanie!

ALL CAUGHT UP! for a minute....

Hang on! He has started up again! Lots of pictures this time!!!

I saw on FB that you found Scales! Amazing! He looks no worse for the wear. Wonder if he had a good time exploring your backyard?!

And how are you progressing on packing for the next trip? Do you leave next week?

Speaking of packing - any tips on a standard Owner's Locker packing list?

I'm sure Scales had no idea he was lost!
Next trip?
I have some stuff stacked in Harper's room that needs to be packed.

Let's see, for the Owner's locker....
I basically keep a medicine cabinet packed down there.
bandaids
headache meds
allergy meds
cold meds
nail clippers
scissors
tape
ziplocks
shampoo
router
blow dryer
chi flat iron
pillow
ponchos
glide
shower cap
baggalini
mouse ears
microwave popcorn
fleece blanket
plastic hangers
Christmas tree
ornaments
bug bite stick
dial soap
deodorant
glow necklaces

This is just off the top of my head and we do have two lockers...

I'm really behind on your TR, I'm going to have to go back to the beginning and get caught up! But I loved the character pictures, I've never seen Jiminy out in the parks ever! I'd love to meet him!

The only other place I've seen Jiminy is MK on Main Street. This was the first time I had seen him at Epcot...

So happy that you found Scales!

Wow! You got to see a lot of characters on this trip! And rare ones too! So exciting! I also have to know where you saw Cap'n Jack!!

Love Baylor's shirt!

Scales was just out there! I set him free again this morning. I think he'll be just fine!

Capt. Jack was near England down by the IG.
Baylor's shirt was one we ironed on, designed by our DIS friend Michelle!
