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

[Poolrat]

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

There were several of them through the years but just a couple:
Chris - do you have all your stuff?
Chris -stop touching that /him/her.
Chris - keep up with the group.
Chris - Why did you do that?
Chris- get down from there.

Well you get the idea.
It just seems like out of a group of 15-20 that is the first name I would learn

Happy scales is back in sight.

I let him loose again this morning and he's out of sight again!

The Cruise looks like a blast!

We had such a good time!

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!

You did spot a Lost on Safari! Baylor texted with the neighbor kids the whole trip! Baylor thought the life boat drill was pretty funny! He had been up playing and we told him to meet us in the cabin. We walked in to find him sitting there watching the prep on the tv with his vest already on!
Palo was nice, we expect Baylor and his gang to show up at the window and look in at us but they were having too much fun elsewhere!

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.

You know people say they don't spend much time in the room, well we didn't...
There was just too much to do!
There really were some nice kids for Baylor to hang out with! We were happy for him.
They are building a new straw market. I hope it has air conditioning. Purse shopping will be so much nicer if it does.
I found the Mickey head Mickeys over on the cruise thread. I was glad they turned out since I couldn't get the magnetic paper to go through my printer. Next time I'll be more prepared but I'll still use the cute Mickey head Mickeys.
You just need to use the coated string so the tails take on some shape. If you want I can bring you some. I have lots left. In fact it may be in the owner's locker...

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!!!

We had a great time on the cruise! Marc got the great shots of Devine, I was trying to take some for FB and they just didn't get much detail.
Texting? What are you talking about?

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!!!!!!

Can you believe I let Scales go again this morning?
I really think you should consider going on a cruise....
How about a Disney Cruise?

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?

Baylor and I were texting fools!
The cruise was a blast!
Palo was everything we had hoped for. Plus it was only $15 extra to eat there per person.
It was not hard to get in but our server said that it wasn't as popular on that particular sailing as it normally was. Next year Marc and I will be able to make our ressies a little earlier...
Just sayin'
Door decorating was fun! It too will be better next year because I won't wait until the night before we leave!

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!!

The Bahamas were gorgeous! Some people just stay on the boat, I don't think I will. I just loved seeing things!

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.

I happen to know of a great date for you to take a Disney Cruise!

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?

The shows on the ship were fabulous! We saw all but one, because we ate at Palo that night, we could have gone to the early show but we went to the dining room and sat while Baylor ate. He went and played with his friends while we went to dinner then.

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!

I kept my bag on the front of me and zipped shut. It was crowded and hot. They said that it wasn't normally like that but there were more ships in port than normal. They are building a new straw market. It won't be a big tent anymore. It will be a regular building. Maybe it will be better.

Zoom Zoom.
Loving the Ak and cruise pics.

He's moving right along now!

So more of a busy Chris....

 

[manntra]

Scales He knows to stay away from the pool right?
I spied the Lost on Safari too and wow it was REALLY empty at the Dawa Bar.....either that or maybe you were having a cocktail at 9:30am?
Beautiful pictures of Devine....that particular one is my favorite...I have seen one other....I think someone once said there are three?
Moving right on to the cruise!! Glad you got those shopping tips! I remember the fire drill being soooooo hot!!
Sooooo much great food!!! ANYTIME YOU WANT!! Loved it!! Your door looked awesome!! I love the Mickeys!!! What a great idea....we had fun decorating our door...and it was fun to walk through the halls and see others as well!
Well, there are a lot of texting pictures...but I NEVER have my iPhone out of my hand either....I just don't have someone taking my picture!!

When you meant super speedy TR, you meant it.

LOVE the cruise pix! PALO.....one of my favorite restaurants EVER!!!!!!! How did you like it?

Can't wait to see your pix of Castaway Cay.....a little slice of heaven that place is.

 

[wsushocker]

I had been using pictures from both our cameras in the previous pictorial updates but I am going to use only those from Wigd's for this update and I am sure you will recognize the general theme of her pictures!

Castaway Cay

​

 

[wsushocker]

more from Wigd on Castaway Cay...

 

[wigdoutdismom]

I channeled my inner MeMom for those shopping pics! How did I do?

 

[wsushocker]

Shocker's Castaway Cay

 

[wigdoutdismom]

OK, he took better pictures than I did! I just want to know how he got the one of himself in front of the boat?

I want to go back! That was so much fun!!!

 

[jeremysdisneymom]

I have not been on the dis for a week and am now getting caught up. Whew, you are doing a speedy report! Love it!

The cruise pictures are great. Castaway Cay looks fabulous. Great job on the shopping pictures---MeMom should be proud! They have some nice merchandise there. I would like to have that castle sand bucket!

Loved your pictures of the Boardwalk at night. We definitely have to get over there and check out the Boardwalk. It looks like a lot of fun.

You met a lot of great characters this trip!

Can't wait to see more cruise pictures.

Oh, did you enjoy Palo?

[Cat0727]

Wow Castaway Cay is so beautiful! Minnie is too cute in her cruise outfit.

Wigd, I think your shopping pictures came out great!

Yes, that was a Lost on Safari! It was before noon, but that drink has enough juice to qualify as a breakfast drink in my book!
I think there were only two Devine pics...
Oh cruise food, it's an eatfest for sure!
We loved everything about that cruise!

Oh, and Scales just backs away from the pool, I have put him right up to it and every time, he backs away.

When you meant super speedy TR, you meant it.

LOVE the cruise pix! PALO.....one of my favorite restaurants EVER!!!!!!! How did you like it?

Can't wait to see your pix of Castaway Cay.....a little slice of heaven that place is.

I loved the dinner and Marc's favorite was brunch! We really enjoyed Palo!
I hoped you hung around, he was working on Castaway Cay when you were posting!

Erika

Loved Palo! We also thought all the dining on the cruise was super! No complaints from us on any of it!
We had great luck with characters on this trip!
We had hoped to make it down to the adult beach. I heard the water was much clearer since there were no kids playing and stirring up the sand in the water, Baylor had found some buddies and went off messing with them, but it was about time for our Stingray encounter so we didn't make it down there.

Wow Castaway Cay is so beautiful! Minnie is too cute in her cruise outfit.

Wigd, I think your shopping pictures came out great!

We certainly didn't get to see all of Castaway Cay, just another reason to go back!
Thanks on the shopping pics! It was fun!

 

[jordanyosh]

I see many of your pix were from your beach chair or at the shop or of food...what a better way to spend a day at CC....

Oh yes, the Palo Brunch...the bomb!!!!!

Hey did Baylor like the Teen Stuff?

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Okay, where to start?? Glad Scales is somewhere nearby.

The characters - you were so lucky! And Devine - how cool. Great pics. My Lost on Safari will have to wait - we're skipping AK this trip. But I've found some worthy alternatives at Brown Derby and Boma!

Cruise - OH MY! That takes me back and now I want to go again!!! So great! I'm glad you enjoyed Nassau - I've had good and bad there. I think it can be as fun as you make it. Still haven't gotten to Palo, so thanks for the pics. Another reason to go again. DH is eyeing some cruises for next spring break. (Yeah, that will be cheap!)
I like your little mickeys on your door - I used magnetic strips and stuck them on the back for ours. It was simpler than magnetic paper, but I did a couple large ones with that too.

Castaway Cay - even better than it was before!!! I appreciate your shopping pics since I always wonder what they have new and different! It all looked new since I was there in December. Oh these TRs get me so excited!!! The sad thing is I was expecting this summer to be our last WDW trip for 2 years since we are going to Europe in summer 2011 (Disneyland Paris???). Now I want to go back sooner!!

I need more money.

 

[Happy Elf]

Loving the cruise pictures! Castaway Cay looks so relaxing! Ahhh.....I would like to be laying on the beach right now! Can't wait to see more!

 

[Popfan]

I channeled my inner MeMom for those shopping pics! How did I do?

AWESOME

 

[MeMom]

There are Castaway Cay towels?!?!?
I want one of those! Towels are one of my favorite souvenirs.
I may have to send money with a future cruiser.

Minnie is too cute in this outfit.

The beach is beautiful, and the ship is enormous! Wow!

 

[uncw89]

I channeled my inner MeMom for those shopping pics! How did I do?

You did GREAT! I love shopping pictures. It looks like they got some cool stuff in. I like the CC photo album and scrapbook stuff. I also like the towels and shirts.
You guys had great luck with the characters! Great pics of everything!
We need to try Palo's on our next cruise. I hear they're also going to have some French restaurant called Remy's on the Dream. We are picky so I don't know if we would like it though. When is your next cruise?
I know you guys have been super busy, but have you planned any ADR's for your Dec trip? I just realized (the other day) that it's time to book them. It seems so far away. I'm having trouble deciding on where to go. We were thinking about trying Shula's, but DS (9) would be with us....He loves fancy $$ food, but can kids go? I don't think they have a kids menu. So many possibilities! Of course, how many trips from now is that for you???? 2 or 3???? I need more points!

 

[IluvXU]

Beyond beautiful! I could stay at Castaway Cay forever! Those two day there cruises are very tempting!

Cute coverup too!
