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

[wigdoutdismom]

Cool, you are on the Dream...you will have to tell us all about it! I can't wait to check it out!

We are really excited about sailing on the Dream, I'll be happy to report back!

OK.... I don't know where to start with comments either. I only read page 26. I have no idea if the next 4 pages are comments or if there are more TR updates.

I absolutely love this way of doing a TR. Everything is perfectly photographed to tell the story.

The picture of Baylor with the life jacket is a hoot! Other than that he looks like he is having a blast. He has some cool clothes! Nassau looks beautiful and dinner at Palo looks great.

I noticed quite a few pictures of Wigd texting. It's easy to see how she racks up those texts!

This is so much fun. Will check back for more updates in the morning.

OK - p 27.....That boat is HUGE!And Castaway Cay is so pretty. Nice, Very Nice indeed!

Baylor was funny with the life boat drill, at that point of the cruise he was still Mr. Rule follower. Towards the end, not so much. Just Mr. Fun haver. We had so much fun, I love looking at these pictures again, it was really beautiful!

bwahahahahahahahaha, caught up again! but i work a double tomorrow so.......

I have no idea how much updating Shocker has planned, we shall see.....

All caught up and all I can say is WOW! I am so going on a cruise. That looks fabulous!!!!!! I didn't think I wanted the cruise incentive when I added on DVC points, but perhaps I should rethink that. Everything looks so amazing! The water is soooooooo clear. The characters. The fireworks. The party. The food. OMG - Love it!

You should! I hated leaving Disney World, but the cruise had enough Disney to keep the mousejunkie in me very happy and I just loved everything about it!
I would so love it if we all could book one together!

Loving your updates! The fireworks were fun, makes me ready for the 4th! I saw several things I would like to have from your shopping pictures! And the food...yum! I'm ready to book a cruise!

The cruise line has the cutest souvies! I wanted to bring everything back! Oh well, there is always next time!
I say, book that cruise! June 3, 2011!!!

Oh my goodness! Between the pictures of Castaway Cay, all the shopping pics, and all the food pics, I really, really, really want to go on the cruise now! I saw lots of souvies at CC that I would like to bring home!

See? It's beyond anything I imagined....
and we had cruised before on another cruise line.

I'm sold! We HAVE to go on a cruise - your pics are amazing!

Maybe this would be something Don would like...
I think you should go with us next year! The boys would have so much fun!

You know, I feel like my summer is half over and yours is stretching out before you! How wonderful does that feel?

Wigd -

I like your idea of a Dis Cruise. How much fun would that be? We enough advance notice I bet that could be a reality. Pick a boat, a date, and roll with it. That would be so cool. I wonder if we would qualify for group rates???

We already booked for next June on the Dream...
I have a code for $100 dollar ship credit for anyone that books that cruise...

 

[MeMom]

I just posted this exact same recount on Memom and Jill's report. Too funny.
Well except I called us Disney Dorks.

Do tell.
Remember my Disney Dork song from not long ago?

We will for sure on the 9th! What day do you come in?

She told me she'll be there the 8th.

Thanks! I have a feeling that picture of the plushies contained in the plasic bag was a bit disturbing for her...

Yes.

Yes, it was.

I wouldn't doubt it if someone said Wigd already has a block of rooms reserved for some DIS nuts.

I was just over at peopleofwalmart.com to be sure my pic had not been posted, when I found this guy!

the CC pictures.....isn't it just beautiful?
Whoa! Was that a conch cooler in your hand? A perfect accessory for the beach
The stingrays were so much fun....when I was there it was ohhhh about a month after Steve Irwin died my niece was a bit concerned.....Did you see Big Mama? We also did some snorkeling and found the sunken Mickey...very cool. It was such a fun day and I would love to do the cruise with two stops there
Thanks for clearing that up about Scales and the pool...I was worried!!
Oh and what I meant about Devine and "two different ones" was that I have seen two different CM's "playing" her.

I wish I had enough DIS nuts confirmed for the cruise, quite a few are very interested though!
The group of plushies were the best deal. The group of 4 plus the ship for $40.99!
I did bring that home...
Think of all the possibilities...
Cruising into a new year...
Cruising into 2nd grade....
Cruising into learning....
on and on!

Poolrat if you want to look us up on the 8th that would be fine too!

Imagine that Tom Hanks is moonlighting at WalMart!

You sure had me lost on the Devine comment!
That was a conch cooler in my hand which leads to a story....

Marc and Baylor were out snorkeling.
I was up under an umbrella taking pictures.
There was a man sitting a few chairs down from me....
Can I just say UGH now?
You know I'm a friendly person and all.
Normally.
The waiter comes by.
I order my conch cooler and a six pack of water on ice in the collapsible cooler.
(We wanted one for the purple locker.)
He comments.
"What did you pay for that"?
I answer....
"No clue".
He remarks.
"They have a water fountain with dixie cups right down there".
I think.
Give me a break.
Please.


I don't remember seeing Big Mama. We did have some big rays hanging around though...
Our CM knew them by name or did a good job making up names!
Scales seems to understand the drop off into the pool. He's safe from that danger!

what great pictures!!!!!!!!!!! Devine, Paolo, Castaway Cay....I want to go on a cruise so bad I can't even stand it!

SO beautiful!

 

[slightly_obsessed]

Oh, me....go ahead and add Chip and Dale and the rest of the plush characters to the June cruise beach towel request.

And I will have to have a t-shirt, I'm sure.

Wonder what my tab will end up being?

Might as well just go....

So nice of him to tell you how to spend your money. The conch cooler looked delicious though. And I think you did an excellent job channeling your inner MeMom.

More shopping pictures...(yawn)

 

[wigdoutdismom]

SO beautiful!

Thank you, Just looking at those cruise pictures makes me want to go back right now!

Might as well just go....

I agree, but she needs a big outside state room!

He was so gross, I was worried that someone might think we were together....

Can you believe Shocker said, "yawn" with that last set of shopping pics?

 

[wsushocker]

and more.....

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Shocker didn't mention it but I took those pictures that were just posted of the windows!

 

[MeMom]

Might as well just go....

Only if they let me sleep up on the deck.

Can you believe Shocker said, "yawn" with that last set of shopping pics?

He's thinking 'yawn',
but I'm on the edge of my seat checking out every single picture thoroughly.

Wigd with Mr. & Mrs. DVC!

This couple deserves a post dedicated to just themselves. This wonderful couple is the first DVC owner. We were at a presentation early on the cruise and they stated that they thought they were the 76th owners to buy in but upon further examination, it was discovered that the DVC had 75 ghost owners and started their real members with the number 76. They were so excited to learn they were the first people to buy into DVC!

They were so nice! We got a chance to visit and briefly say hi to their daughter that teaches as well. Would have loved to had more time but a guide was waiting for us to discuss an add-on. So off we ran...
They had told all of us how they toured Old Key West in hard hats because it wasn't completed at the time. They always drive down from Illinois. They took down the DIS website, my name and screen name. I told them they would make an appearance in the trip report. I hope they log on and check it out!
