Beach Hoppin' With the Wigdout Gang! A super speedy trip report.

[IluvXU]

Good God Friend... that is a lot of fine stuff for someone who never went to DTD shopping!

Where did you get all the DVC stuff? The BLT thing?

Now I know why I could not find the mickey and friends silly bands.. you bought them out!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Wow! That is an impressive haul of souvenirs. And a LOT of silly bandz... what are you doing with all those?? So many goodies I'd love to have. I'd better start saving... looks like I may have to double my cruise budget.

Just a couple of comments.
This top souvie pic was for one of my 2nd graders. Her dad was my principal from my old school and IS Marc's principal still. She is a doll!

The Del Sol items change color in the sun.
The package of rings will be for our 2nd graders as we have them sing "You Are my Sunshine" to us all the time. We will pass the rings out on day one and take them outside and sing the song...
You can get those rings for free in the store, they charged me in Nassau..but I needed 60.
The head bands, nail polish, and t-shirts also change colors. These were souvies from Nassau but there is a Del Sol store in the Orlando airport and I will be stopping there first thing on Saturday. I love that store!

I wasn't sure about getting the cruise bag.
Marc insisted.
I tried the really big one but it was just huge.
So the next size down was good.
Then they brought out all they had in that size so we could look at the variations of the print.
I liked the position of Chip and Dale on that one....
The other side has the ship close to the center...

Since I got the cruise bag, the third D&G bag went to my teammate at school.
The sweat suit is Jill's.
Most of the zip hoodies were bought in multiples as they were on sale and I shopped for friends.
Jen brought a t-shirt for Baylor but he has worn it and will need to show me which one it is. He is the only person that can identify his KU shirts.
Also there is a pin Jen brought for Shocker, that is on his hat....
Where is that hat dear?
He has to be wearing that hat with the pin on it in a pic....

Just wanted to say, again, how much i'm enjoying all your pictures!! It really makes me feel like i'm there with you guys!

I'm so happy the Main Street Electrical Parade is back, though I love Spectro. The floats look even more incredible than I remember! I especially like the huge gems in the Snow White part!

I'm so jealous you'll be back in less than a week but I can't wait for that TR [/QUOTE]
Wow, it's almost time to start packing!

I'm loving this TR!

It took me no time to get all caught up and I soaked in all the glorious DCL pics!

I can't wait to see Castaway Cay next year!!! It looks gorgeous!

I am secretly planning a surprize cruise trip for my DMom for Mothers Day 2011. (got the idea from BrooklynnMommy's surprize trip for MeMom)

I wish we were going at them same time, it would be so fun to meet you!

I'm trying to book it for when the F&G Festival is still on. Neither one of us have seen it and I know my DMom would love to see all the flowers.

Aren't you excitted about sailing on the new DREAM ship?

One of us will have to make sure MeMom get's her towel.

Can't wait to see all the souvie pics!

I'm just beside myself waiting to see if you got the purse....

I will enjoy all the Electrical Parade pics I can get because I will miss it by a day.

You miss it by a day!?! Awwww darn!
I wish we were cruising together too, it looks like we might be getting a little DIS group together...
If you decide to change we would love to have you join us!

I agree! Your getup is too funny! I like the poncho's too! They are cute. Where were they?



I get that look too! I need to take more food pics though!



This TR is fast! So is Memom's! I have to go catch up!
Please post some outlet pics, if you see anything good! I'm trying to convince DH to stop there in on few weeks wen we go on our non-Disney cruise, Freedom of the Seas. I'm excited, but will definitely miss the Disneyness! I love all the pics especially the cruise ones, makes me want to be on the ship!

I need a poncho, Shocker asked me if I wanted one when we were there, well yes I did, I just didn't get one.
What was I thinking?
We will torture those boys with food pics in Dec.!

Geez, I miss two days of DISing, and I'm like 10 pages behind, and missed 8 days of your trip. Shocker, you've really picked up the pace on this TR!

I'm so glad Baylor liked his British Invasion shirt, and that it got him some extra-special attention. I'm also glad we got to join you guys for breakfast at Ohana, even if we're not in any of Shocker's pictures to prove we were there!

What are your plans next summer for WDW? Are you hitting the parks before or after the cruise? Your cruise leaves while we're still in school, but we're still debating a quick trip right after school is out to get one last trip out of the annual passes...

The shirt was a hit!
The guys in the band decided that they needed to do shirts!!!
I think next summer will be Vero after the cruise, how does that sound with the baby? How about a couple of days of Disney then drive to the beach?

Aggggg, I can't keep up! I can't even remember everything I wanted to comment on Wigd - love you in your poncho and Minnie shower cap for Splash, how stinkin' cute are you?! Very cool that Baylor got his shirt signed by the British Invasion




I actually think I might have Don talked into a cruise for next summer! He made me promise to look at all cruises, not just Disney ones (yeah, yeah, whatever.....), but he actually likes the idea. I showed the boys the picture of that 760 foot water slide on the Dream and they are already hooked and ready to go! When are you going again? June 3rd? If so, I doubt we could make that one with baseball and all

Not even a few days off from baseball? That's intense!

WigD and not sure if you saw my last post but I was in DTD last night thinking of you GUYS! My post probably got buried between Shocker's photo TR blitz!! We r having lots of fun ...SAB is the best!!! Can't spend enough time at the pool!

We couldn't get enough of SAB either! So much fun! Are the boys doing the afternoon activities?
How was your shopping last night?

Well WE are going in late June.... 5 day dream cruise June 20 something... two stops at castaway

I hope we can do a 5 night in 2012....

Awesome update!!!

Thanks Julia, how were the grandparents?

Wow did I have some catching up to do!!

Love all the shopping pics from Castaway Cay!! I love the white shirt with Mickey in the hammock.

That is so great that Baylor got Donalds autograph & all the British Invasion!!

The buffet on the ship looks so good!! Tons of food.

Love all the souvie pics!! And you did buy that white shirt that I love. I did not realize they had so much merchandise on CC. But then again it is Disney.

The white CC shirt is actually a beach cover-up but I thought it might work out with white leggings....

I love the DB cruise bag! I'm waiting on the regular sketch print to come back to the disney store website so I can finally order one! Awesome souviners. The cruise looks like it was a blast, and I guess it was since you have already booked another

The sketch print is cute, hope you get it soon!
We soooo loved that cruise!

Good God Friend... that is a lot of fine stuff for someone who never went to DTD shopping!

Where did you get all the DVC stuff? The BLT thing?

Now I know why I could not find the mickey and friends silly bands.. you bought them out!

The cruise had a DVC gift each day, that's where most of it came from....
The silly banz? The last morning at Mouse Gears.
Great gifts for Baylor's friends....

Wow! That is an impressive haul of souvenirs. And a LOT of silly bandz... what are you doing with all those?? So many goodies I'd love to have. I'd better start saving... looks like I may have to double my cruise budget.

We thought the banz would be a cheap little gift for kids to bring back!
I'm wondering if I missed anything...

 

[MEK]

Anita,
I just want one time to ride splash mountain with you in your gettup! That would make my DIS and Disney experiences complete!

The minnie poncho is too cute. My problem is my bigger minnie would flip if I got one for Emily... but I was awfully tempted!

You are fast and furious... I can barely keep up!

I agree. I want a ride with you, too! the look of the people behind you in line - priceless! Little do they know your outfit is legend!

I missed some much in the last 24 hrs, but I super impressed by all the wonderful pictures!

First of all - I LOVE LOVE LOVE the sneakers with the Mickies all over them. I love crazy prints on my shoes and they are way too cute.

The electric light parade looks so cool. Will it be gone in September?

to the BLT grandvilla. Wowsa!

This TR is so fun and I can't believe you are getting ready to go again!

 

[slightly_obsessed]

nice haul! Love the purses; wish I carried them!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Urgent update!

Walmart has Toy Story Mania Silly Banz!!!
Series 1, 2, & 3.

I only found series 1 at Disney.
Plus they were only $4 at Walmart and they were $6 at Disney....

They were selling fast here in Derby, Kansas.

 

[Charleston Princess]

You know I always love to virtual shop through your souvenir pictures! I knew you bought a lot of Silly Bandz, but seeing them spread out like that really shows just how many you bought. Once word gets out, Baylor will be the most invited guest to birthday parties in Derby!

Hurray for getting one of the D&B bags on the cruise -- those are just so cute!

I really like that Minnie shirt with the fireworks -- I may have to look for that in three weeks.

Harper is so precious even when she is hugging that mean ol' bear!

 

[SoonerGirl]

Well WE are going in late June.... 5 day dream cruise June 20 something... two stops at castaway

That's what I want, the 5 night with two stops at Castaway Cay! Not sure if we can go in June at all though.....

Not even a few days off from baseball? That's intense!

It's stupid is what it is! We haven't taken a vacation in the summertime before late July in about 5 or 6 years.


You got a lot of great stuff - I love the cruise D&B! And, I bought that same white hoodie with the patchwork "Walt Disney World" on it

This TR is so fun and I can't believe you are getting ready to go again!

I'm not sure on the dates of the parade. I'll bet Jackie knows. She is the expert on The Electric Light Parade.
That Grand Villa was an experience! So pretty!
I agree, the sneakers were super cute!

Of course I know the dates! Supposedly it will be there until August 14, but I bet it sticks around for awhile longer after that!

 

[praisehisname]

I love all your souvies, but especially the D&B cruise bag!

 

[mickeysmyboy]

WOW! So many great updates! I love the cruise pics! I'd to do a cruise but DH is very anti cruise!

Mr & Mrs DVC are too cool! Love that!

Ick with the guy wanting to take your pic on the bed!!!

What's the deal with the kid playing with big sticks in a fenced off area?! I hate seeing stuff like that!

Love all the souvies! WOW! Such good stuff! I love all the DVC stuff and I love that sweatsuit!!!! I need that! I definitely see myself wearing that home in Oct

 

[Happydog]

Okay I have not had time to read any of this TR but judging from all the comments there is a ton to see! I am trying to be fiscally responsible and use my phone vs pay for internet! But I.cannot wait to come back to read. That way my withdrawal wont be so bad! I have seen some of your pics looks like you had a Fab trip! Weather has been great! No rain. Just a thunder and small shower yesterday. Hope it is good for you guys! Today little overcast which is a nice break! Get packing!

 

[jeremysdisneymom]

Whew, I am getting caught up. This is a speedy report!

Love all your pictures from the cruise. Really gets me excited for ours in 2011.

I have got to check out the bakery in Norway. The food looks delicious!

Love that Baylor got his shirt signed by British Invasion and his hat by Donald Duck!

Love O'hana for breakfast! We are headed there on July 4th.

Great souvenir pictures!

Love the parade pictures. I can't wait to see it myself in a few days.

Are we still on for a meet on the 6th at Epcot? I need to check with MeMom but that would work great for us. We may make the parade meet on the 9th but I am not sure at this time. Would hate to miss meeting you!

I really hope it does!!

Look at all of those souvenirs!! I want to go shopping with you!!

 

[jenjolt]

Now that is what I call the motherload!! WOWzers!! Those are some wonderful souvenirs!!

I am so going to get a Dooney and Burke Disney purse at some point! That cruise one is gorgeous!!

So glad you liked the snowglobe and Baylor liked the hat!!!! So cool that it got signed!!!!!

Awww Harper is just adorable sitting there coloring in her book!!!!

 

[michellem1118]

A few days at Vero sounds doable with a baby... we'll have to talk dates, since we get out of school later than usual next year (I think our last day is June 8th or 9th, instead of June 4th). We might have to do a few days at Vero, then a day or two at Disney before flying home... our APs don't expire until June 16th or so...

 

[manntra]

you did a great job!!
I am so happy that Marc insisted that you get the D&B
I love my sketch bag and I have the flat brown/tan (like a mini-hipster) and a little iPhone case too...they make me smile
Love all of your DVC gifts....you got some really good stuff there too...can never have too much!!
Harper is adorable hugging that mean old bear....I haven't had time to see it yet so I am still untainted by him
Baylor's invitation was cute....I am sure that will turn out to be a fun party!

Pirate Night!

2 of our Dining Mates!​

I love your Tink necklace!! Where did you get it? I am truly a disney nut - I just got a tattoo on my leg of pixie dust wrapping around my ankle all the way down to the top of my foot with a Mickey Head at the bottom like a charm!! Love all your pics and I am sooo jealous - still waiting to see "the" purse!
