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

[Happydog]

Q

I just got off the phone with member services and they had 2 nights in a studio at BC. I said no. I'll try back. It would have left us moving out on the 6th then back over there for the 7th and 8th...
Besides, I want a 1br.

I still have a few days of constant calling....

I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you Birthday girl! And thanks for the silly bandz hookup

 

[Charleston Princess]

I'll cross my fingers and toes, too, since I know you need that one bedroom to be able to wash Shocker's two outfits.

Happydog, which hoodie did you get?

 

[vamassey1]

Anita I hope you get what you want! I'll be following along on FB again too!

 

[MEK]

Please take lots of BLT studio pictures cause that's where I am staying in September. I can't wait to see it. Details....I want lots of details!

Good luck getting BC for the 6&7th! I miss SSR right now so I hope you have a great stay there.

Have another awesome trip!

Mary Ellen - You can see some BLT studio pics in my December TR. We stayed in one for 4 nights. Let me know if you have any questions.

Anita - I hope you get your BCV 1BR. Fingers dutifully crossed.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Okay.. you know i am dancing here that you got anytime at SAB!

Secondly I will be following along.. bugging you I am sure too!

Third... do some shopping research on the minnie ponchos. I only ever saw little ones, say just Em size. Never bigger ones. Let me know how those work please!

Any SAB time is good time! I'll check on the Minnie ponchos!

Whatever will I do on the DIS with both you and MeMom off having fun???

We will entertain you on Facebook! Besides I need your phone number since my phone died! I can't text you anymore!

Anita, have a safe and fun trip!! I will be thinking of you on your bday!!!! Sending lots of pixie dust that you get more nights at BC

My trip keeps getting more interesting Jen! Just wait!!

This is true, but DISing is so much more fun! I am sure I will be on Facebook looking for pictures from all of you!

I'll be DISing too, we are both taking our laptops!

Have a wonderful trip!!

Is Baylor staying home this trip?

Thanks Leslie! Yes, Baylor is staying home! So I seem sad?
He hates to miss the 4th of July at home, such a fire bug! Plus he plays baseball and didn't want to miss anymore games, he missed some with our June trip...

for Beach Club!

Have a wonderful trip and a very Happy Birthday!

Thank you, I'm getting quite excited, two more sleeps!

I second that CP. Add to it our neighbors and best friends are going to WDW too. Live updates will have to do!

That just doesn't seem fair Laura, maybe you should have waited to come down...

Have a magical trip and a Happy Birthday!

Looking forward to seeing pics of BLT and BC!

Thanks, we will take plenty, mine for FB and Marc's for the TR!

I hope you get BCV for two more nights

Short update on that coming up Jen!

Thanks for the offer of a "hook up" on silly banz - I will be there soon enough and my kids can shop to their hearts content ! Enjoy your birthday at my "home" BLT and have a drink for me on my Birthday - since I will only be able to have a belated drink this year!! Are you starting a PTR - haha - you still have 3 days left to get one in - at the speed this one was done, it would be a piece of cake!

I think I'll just hang in there with this one since I have you all here to keep my company!
Drink for you? It will be my pleasure!
I worry that the silly banz will be hard to find, they can be down there. We had our best luck at Mouse Gears....

Have a great trip and a Happy Birthday!!! Hope you get those BC nights! The Dis wil be slow for the next week or so with you and Memom gone, but FB will be busy!!!

I'll check in on the DIS when we are in the vila, mornings and nights for sure! We really need to get our group more active in DIS chat!

Do not be surprised if I am wearing the same clothes in all the pictures as I will only be packing one or two sets of clothes because my suitcase will be filled with things we are taking TO Disney!

Here's the story on that...
We went in search of some small sand toys for Brooklynn and Bella for the day they are coming to swim at SAB and well bought a bunch of other stuff for them....
The sand toys we will probably leave most of it down there for the other kids to play with when we leave but it's going to take a bunch of space to get it all down there!

But you have a washer and dryer.. which makes it just fine! We way way way overpacked clothing, never again!

I typically do a load or two a night... I just worry about all the moving around.

Plus...you have to leave room for all the things Wigd will be bringing HOME!!!

We are taking a very large duffel for that!

This is a great exchange...

take lots of detergent

Have that in the purple locker!

Hey! I'm on my way back!! I'll keep you all company! We can all share notes and hear about the 4th of July antics!!

Thanks for taking care of her! Puts my mind at ease....

Sounds good!

I do feel much better now!

Oh I totally hear you on this on CP!! I have to come back to the real world tomorrow and I will be dragging my feet. but at least I will have my new hoodie to wear camping this weekend!! WigD I will follow on FB this time too!

I look forward to our FB connection! We will need camping updates!

Oohhh HD did you finally join FB? Welcome back from your trip!

I was on the phone this afternoon with Member Services and had such a nice girl...Sidney....I almost asked her if she talked to you yesterday when you were looking for your BC days

Will be looking forward to your FB updates

Tracy

Ha! I don't remember a Sidney....

Q
I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you Birthday girl! And thanks for the silly bandz hookup

Just don't cross your eyes, they could stick.

I'll cross my fingers and toes, too, since I know you need that one bedroom to be able to wash Shocker's two outfits.
So much laundry, so little time....
Happydog, which hoodie did you get?

Do tell!

Anita I hope you get what you want! I'll be following along on FB again too!

There have been changes!

Please take lots of BLT studio pictures cause that's where I am staying in September. I can't wait to see it. Details....I want lots of details!

Good luck getting BC for the 6&7th! I miss SSR right now so I hope you have a great stay there.

Have another awesome trip!

Update coming! You won't believe what I did!

Mary Ellen - You can see some BLT studio pics in my December TR. We stayed in one for 4 nights. Let me know if you have any questions.

Anita - I hope you get your BCV 1BR. Fingers dutifully crossed.

The elusive BCV.....
Isn't BLT cool?

you should start a poll now..how many BLT pictures will you take?

Sounds like a contest to me!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

So, I call member services this morning.
They didn't have anything more at my beloved Beach Club but the did have the next two nights at Boardwalk in a 1br....
So I took it.



As it stands for now....

2 nights at Bay Lake
1 night at Beach Club
2 nights at Boardwalk
2 nights at Saratoga Springs

I will probably keep calling for Beach Club
but I do like Boardwalk, it's close to epcot and I love that! Plus the villas are gorgeous!

Shocker's reaction? You ask?

Some major eye rolling.

 

[Charleston Princess]

We will entertain you on Facebook! Besides I need your phone number since my phone died! I can't text you anymore!

Agh, we can't have that! I am depending on your texts to keep me sane while I wait for my own trip! Do you want me to PM you or text you from my phone?

 

[Charleston Princess]

Yeay for getting Boardwalk! I do love that resort!

 

[IluvXU]

I should have snuck in my friends van and I could have been in WDW too. I am sure my kids never would have missed me!

The Boardwalk will be fun. I want to stay there sometime soon... but I still hope that you get more SAB time. I should have left the beach toys with you we had for Bella and Brooklynn. We have quite a stash, and it did take up a lot of room even driving!

Taken care of!

I love it too, but all three nights at BC would have been nice, not sure what to do....

I want more SAB time too! The convenience of Epcot is a plus to Boardwalk though....
Then I'm happy to move to SSR so I can have my DTD time!

Laura, do you think at some point they might have looked for you a little?

 

[Happydog]

I got the lime green and navy striped hoodie pull over (with the WDW in pink and silver on the front)... I had been EYEING that at Christmas, in February, and I kept saying I dont need it I dont need it, but at 50% off and then my AP discount too, I "needed" it.

OH! WigD I think you are getting closer! I bet that room might just "appear" the day of... can you do that with DVC? Why not! Maybe get Boardwalk for the rest of the trip vs. Saratoga... I kinda liked going from BLT to BCV... felt like two vacations! But it was 5 days and 5 days -- however it being only you and Shocker I think it will be fun!

1 bedroom -- what a difference! Good grief, I did laundry every day.

 

[manntra]

for Boardwalk....I just love the BW and BC location, vibe, decor, SAB, etc....so let's see you have the monorail at BLT, the boats/walking to Epcot at BC/BW and DTD at SSR....all looks good to me....especially rounding it out at SSR to do the shopping at the end
And how exciting for just two more sleeps!!!!

Tracy

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Wow, I better keep checking in here. Changes all the time!
I hope you can remember where you're going from one day to the next!
I'll be following on FB too!!

 

[brookelizabeth]

Well, I got here just in time for it to wrap up and for you two to take off again! You've got some major resort switching going on! I hope the BC comes through for you. Do you find calling Member Services results in a room better than a waitlist? We are waitlisted for a few nights on the BW in September, I've been thinking about calling them...but don't want to be frustrating to them either knowing I have a waitlist...

We were on a waitlist but it has expired. So at this point it's just going to take phone calls.
The other thing was if I was willing to take less days I could do that by calling. The waitlist was for the whole time. That was how I got my birthday at beach club. I'm not really excited for all the changing, but I really love the convenience of being in the Epcot area, but I want to end the trip at SSR. I hope I'm not sorry and put out by all the moving around....

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Fingers crossed that Beach Club still comes through.

How sweet of you guys to bring B&B sand toys for SAB. They will love it, I'm sure!

One more sleep!!! Looking forward to following along on FB again!

 

[SoonerGirl]

Wow! That's a lot of moving around! I like to unpack and get settled, it would drive me insane to stay at 4 different resorts in one week Keeping my fingers crossed for you that the BC comes open for those two nights!
