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

great updates! so cool you got to see Big Mike! LOL!

Hmm, some Hawaiian names:

It's a boy so some strong names would be good...

Kekoa (means Warrior)
Kapono (means to do what's right...my DBF's name!)

I'll think of more!!
 
FB Wigd said:
"Pat! Will we get to see you in a couple of weeks?"

I arriving on the 8th. How long are you staying??? I am there until the 13th.

I would love to meet!
 
Great update! Love all the picks of Move it, Shack it!

One of these days I have to get me some fudge!
 
Okay, I am out of the loop -- who is Big Mike???

I was thinking the same thing. I thought he must be a famous football player that I was supposed to know. :upsidedow



DSCN1261.jpg

I love that big goofy boy! :love:
I am glad he got to come and have some family time that evening, but he does have to get up early. ::yes::
He enjoyed it.



I arriving on the 8th. How long are you staying??? I am there until the 13th.

I would love to meet!

Do you guys all want to plan on seeing MSEP on the 9th? That's our last night. I don't know if we can stay for fireworks, since we'll need to get busy packing, but we can do the parade, if that works for you guys.
 

The contest is for the number of texts she sent and received......I got really tired of taking pictures of her texting after the first day!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH. Sorry I am a little slow on the uptake. I am in N'Awlins after all :rotfl:

Okay okay, so I say .... 688.

Don't ask me why. :laughing:
 
Okay BOY names! YAY!!!! I finally got through to the end of the TR! :thumbsup2

I thought about Tucker for one of mine, I like that name :goodvibes Do you remember that movie about the car maker? Jeff Bridges, that was a neat story, that is why we liked it. OF course I am partial to mythological beasts, like Griffins... ;) Hunter is a hard one. Or it was for our family. B/C my mother-in-law is from long island. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO, HuntER came out like HuntAH (as in the virus??) :rotfl2: THAT wasn't going to work....

I am sure whatever she chooses will be super cute :)

AND ALL YOUR CHARACTER PHOTOS HOW FUN!!!! I really want to get some this trip! MAYBE my guys will this time!

AND HOW COOL THAT YOU GOT TO SPEND THE WEEKEND WITH JEN!!!!!!!!! :goodvibes
 
Ok got about 10 pages behind:scared1:

Love your view at BC:cloud9:

I am thinking my guess of 777 texts is too low after seeing you & you had not even made it on to ME yet!!

Congratulations on a new granson:)I am not good with different names as my two are Ryan & Cody:)

Technically, the contest should have ended at midnight but I guess there might have been some confusion so I will wait until tomorrow morning to post the winner. If someone comes in today with a closer or exact guess then there will be two prizes!
 
I'm dying to know who won!!

I'm so jealous you were able to spend time with Jen. I miss her. :guilty:

No food porn for LTT? :scared1:
 
Love all the pics! :lovestruc So glad you got to spend some time with Trent and Jen! :goodvibes

I can't wait to find out who won!!! :yay:
 
It was great you got to spend so much time with Jen and meet up with MeMom's son! It looks like you had a lot of fun.

Too funny about the guy from American Idol with the baby and beer! I didn't know who he was but the girls at work did.
 
That's so funny you got to see Big Mike! He is not easy to miss so I am sure he was swamped with fans the day he was there.

I can't wait to find out who won the text contest!
 
Congrats!!!

The view from your BCV room is beautiful!
I'll be back after work to finish reading everything. 6 more days of school. I hope I survive!
You will make it! Just think about that summer stretching out before you!!!
Congrats on the new grandson!! I'm no good for boy names. We didn't know what we were having ahead of time and never were able to come up with any boy names. I liked Brett, DH liked Anthony or Victor (!). Luckily we had girls. Paige was nameless for 2 days anyway!

Sorry that the turtle still hasn't been located. Hope he's okay.

Love the pictures of BC and Pick a Pearl! We'll be doing that in July!
I didn't recognize a couple of the characters - bad DISer! The fox/bear guys? I better go back and watch some movies.

Sorry to hear about your phone too. I love mine, but I don't text that much. Too many of my buddies are not big into texting yet. All in good time, I'm sure! But I will try to post on FB from it while we're on vacation!
Naming a baby can be stressful! Those characters are from Pinocchio! Gideon the cat and J. Worthington Foulfellow the fox.
I'll be watching for your snippets from facebook!

Yes, we will be there July 2-12 at WL! We actually leave 2 weeks from today! We are getting very excited. Will you be there during that time?

Erika

Glad we have this worked out, I'm excited to meet you!

Whew, caught up on your report!

First of all, Congratulations on your first grandson! That is great news. You will have so much fun. Jeremy is the only grandson (grandchild for that matter) on both sides and has so much fun with his grandparents! I like the name Tucker!
The Beach Club looks amazing. I hope to check it out this trip while Jeremy is on the Albatross Cruise. I hear Stormalong Bay is awesome.

It looks like Baylor and Jen had fun picking out a pearl! So glad you had a DisMeet.

Where did you find all the characters at Epcot? I need to look that place up as there were several we had never seen before.

:love:Love the picture of Donald and Daisy. Too cute!

Erika
The characters were just next to the American pavilion in sort of an alley way.
SAB can be a bit tricky to get into. They check key cards to make sure you are a resort guest to get in. Just tell they you aren't swimming and want to look around. Be sure to go over the bridges. It goes on and on. So pretty!

Congrats on the new grandson!! I forgot to post this earlier. I am really partial to Tucker and Aiden and actually thought about these with my boys. I am off to HHI this weekend and will try to keep up from there.
Have a blast at Hilton Head! Sounds like fun!
Congrats on the baby boy!

Aww cute pictures with the characters! I haven't seen the fox from Pinnochio at WDW in a long time!
We have only seen that fox in the parades! Thanks on the baby!
Congrats on the new grandson!! So happy to hear that he is healthy! How is Keeley feeling these days? Has Harper been over to play in her new playhouse yet? I bet she loved it! Sorry to hear Scales has yet to be found. :(

As for names, I really like Tucker too! My little one's middle name is Bryant which I love and Austin is another favorite here. My nephew is named Gannon which I think it unique.

What a great room! Love it! Too funny - all the texting pictures! My guess maybe too low. :) Wow, I'm impressed with all the characters you guys saw! Looks like Baylor had fun helping Jen pick out a pearl! I agree Jen, we need a picture of your necklace!! I agree with you, Anita, I love that airport monorail ride and nothing beats landing at MCO!!

Looking forward to hearing more!
I have a new stop at MCO, the Del Sol store, love that place!
Gannon is cute!
Keeley is feeling pretty good! Thanks!
Baylor was the pick a pearl expert!
:laughing:
Killer view

A character motherload

and a grandson!




Love the name Tucker. Also like Wyatt, Keenan and Logan.
More great names! Yea!
big mike! drinking a beer and carrying a baby....



i saw some little girls doing this at MK during wishes once, too. my question is why do their parents allow them to do it? it's clearly a fenced-off area where no one is supposed to be and i'm sure the disney gardners work very hard to keep it looking the way it does. if you were allowed to be in that area, there would be other people sitting there, as well. that just bothers me!!!
The parents were sitting right in front of them and they were messing with the flowers! Ugh!!!
Love him! But there's just something wrong with that picture...tiny baby strapped on and a glass of beer in the hand.....
babies and beer just shouldn't be that close together.
He looked like he was chillin' out after a stressful AI season to me!:laughing:
I can't believe you guys saw Big Mike! I was so ready for him to get voted off AI, but I really love the guy. I just wanted Crystal to win!

Big Mike seems so cool and down to earth. And I like him even better walking around Epcot with a beer. Yeah - he's got the baby, but I think its OK for him to be chillin with a beer too.
He was one of my favorites, although I thought Crystal was going to win....
what a great view!!!
Congrats on the new baby boy.... I like the name Logan
It was a fantastic view! Thanks on the baby, we are tickled!
Yay for a healthy baby boy!!

I do like the name Tucker! Also slightly partial to Benjamin, although I know that's not uncommon.:goodvibes I like Jackson, Wyatt, Caden, and Ian too. Naming a baby is so much fun!

I think you missed my earlier post where I was pouting about missing you at Christmas now. I'm still pouting...
I remember seeing that post, I must have lost it! I'm pouting too! I can't believe we are missing each other again!!!
really? why is that?

when i look at pictures/info about the two, here is what i like about them:

BCV: awesome pool, the fact there's a CS restaurant there, room decor

BWV: atmosphere, restaurants (flying fish, kouzzina and ESPN club)

my thought is the things i love about BWV can be enjoyed from BCV, as well. i'm just wondering about your thoughts on why the villas at BWV are better. do tell!
BWV was just refurbed! They just look new, well they are! Better storage in the restroom, room decor is cute!!
BCV is getting worn. I do still love it though, it's just time for them to refurb!

We stay in a 1br, what are you planning to stay in?
It's such a short walk to enjoy the dining at both places.

A few more boy names for Keeley to consider... (and I'm still working on the list, I've just been a bit busy this week.. )
-Finn
-Weston
-Gibson
-Spencer
-Hudson
-Reid

I'll probably have more sometime tomorrow. I hope you're compiling all of these names into one place for her! :)
I'll get a list going, so many great ones!
Finn is my #1 choice if we have a boy (when we are expecting that is). DH thinks it is super weird. I love it. Along with the name Poppy for a girl. :)
Finn is cute and I love Poppy!
No Big Mike, babies and beer do not mix. :lmao:

I want to get an iphone but I'm not ready for a contract yet. However, I am willing to settle for an itouch.
I miss my phone....
Okay, I am out of the loop -- who is Big Mike???

Yeay for meeting up with Trent and Jen! Why am I not surprised that Jen stopped for fudge??? ;) Can't wait to get some in a month!
Clearly you do not watch American Idol!:laughing:
Okay, now I understand! :laughing: Too funny that you spotted him with a baby and a beer in World Showcase!
I saw a scurry, flurry of cameras....
so I had to see what the commotion was.
Jen was like what?

Big Mike was a contestant on American Idol this season. They even used the judges "save" to keep him around a little longer.

I am going to have to try that fudge I hear so much about!
I thought he was really talented!
You do need to have some fudge!

Glad I'm not the only one who didn't know who he was!:)



Thanks, I got it now!
He was awesome!
I didn't know who it was either. :rotfl:

Anita - love your flip flops in the pictures... I think I have the same pair. :upsidedow
Teva Mush? Comfy!
Big Mike!!!!!!

Anita texting....2232 come on now...come on, get those fingers moving......
Were you a fan Jordan?
great updates! so cool you got to see Big Mike! LOL!

Hmm, some Hawaiian names:

It's a boy so some strong names would be good...

Kekoa (means Warrior)
Kapono (means to do what's right...my DBF's name!)

I'll think of more!!
That was my first celeb sighting at Disney! It was a little awkward taking his picture.
You have no idea how bad I wanted to say hi and have my picture taken with him. I suddenly got shy....:rolleyes1
Thanks for the names!

I arriving on the 8th. How long are you staying??? I am there until the 13th.

I would love to meet!

We are there from the 3rd through the 10th I'm beyond excited to meet you!

Great update! Love all the picks of Move it, Shack it!

One of these days I have to get me some fudge!
Shocker takes some great pictures!
You need to have some fudge! Yum!

I was thinking the same thing. I thought he must be a famous football player that I was supposed to know.






I love that big goofy boy!
I am glad he got to come and have some family time that evening, but he does have to get up early.

Do you guys all want to plan on seeing MSEP on the 9th? That's our last night. I don't know if we can stay for fireworks, since we'll need to get busy packing, but we can do the parade, if that works for you guys.
Big Mike is big enough to play football, but he has a beautiful voice so he ended up on AI.
You have such a wonderful son MeMom! We love him too, Baylor thought he was soooo cool!
The parade on the 9th sounds like a great plan! We are in!!!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH. Sorry I am a little slow on the uptake. I am in N'Awlins after all :rotfl:

Okay okay, so I say .... 688.

Don't ask me why.
Isn't the living slower in the Big Easy?
Okay BOY names! YAY!!!! I finally got through to the end of the TR!

I thought about Tucker for one of mine, I like that name :goodvibes Do you remember that movie about the car maker? Jeff Bridges, that was a neat story, that is why we liked it.

AND HOW COOL THAT YOU GOT TO SPEND THE WEEKEND WITH JEN!!!!!!!!!
Hey, the names Griff and Nola has been on the list!
We we so excited from the moment that Jen pm'd us and said she was going to be there that weekend. The plans just bloomed!
[/FONT:scared1:

Love your view at BC

I am thinking my guess of 777 texts is too low after seeing you & you had not even made it on to ME yet!!

Congratulations on a new granson:)I am not good with different names as my two are Ryan & Cody:)[/QUOTE]
What have you been doing???
Thanks on the baby, we are happy with the news!
I'm dying to know who won!!

I'm so jealous you were able to spend time with Jen. I miss her.

No food porn for LTT?
Guess was Leslie? I know who won!!!
Jen is a sweetie! I know why you love her so much!!!
I thought I took some pictures but they must have been on my phone and that's all lost now. I'm so sad about that!

Love all the pics! So glad you got to spend some time with Trent and Jen!

I can't wait to find out who won!!! :yay:
I guess tomorrow is the big contest reveal!
It was so great to spend time with them both!
We see them both again really soon too!
Jen here at our house when she comes through Kansas and Trent on our next trip to Disney!
We are looking forward to spending time with them!

It was great you got to spend so much time with Jen and meet up with MeMom's son! It looks like you had a lot of fun.

Too funny about the guy from American Idol with the baby and beer! I didn't know who he was but the girls at work did.

Jen and Trent are such nice people, we have found that to be true of people from the DIS!
See Big Mike was a highlight for me!
 
Geez I missed a ton! First of all CONGRATULATIONS on the baby boy! Justin has a good friend named Ty - I've always liked that name, it may be short for Tyson, I'm not sure, either way, I like it.

The view from your villa looks awesome, just reconfiming my decision that BC has to be our resort choice for our next stay, whenever that might be :sad2:

You hit the character jackpot at Epcot! I don't think I've ever seen that many out and about there.

That's also great that you got to spend so much time with Jennifer.
 

I think we had dinner at Beaches and Cream.....I think :confused3

Hi Michelle! Thanks, we are thrilled with the news of the baby boy! I still think you need to consider a cruise!
We had a great time with Jen!

Beaches & Cream is one of our favorites! And OMG, I love love LOVE that painting in the villas!!
Beaches and Cream is a great little spot! Even if you don't end up staying at the Beach Club you should go and take a look!
You are cruising along on this TR! Thanks for so many shots of "home." Can't wait to get back there again!! :)
