BW Bakery Blasphemy: UPDATED TR finished with picture overload -THE END!!!!!

[lisaviolet]

Shhhhhh.... I'm eating!!!!

And how I ADORE eating. It really is BEYOND YUMMY. LIKE IN HEAVEN. Lisa's in heaven. Really.

No guesses on the food on the plate?

Maybe you all think it's something that it's not.

Or I'm totally off topic.

Okay let me quote another Canadian -

"ALRIGHTY THEN."

 

[lisaviolet]

We're HERE.

We're at that moment where my stomach drops. We're at the Fruit Plate scandal. We're at lovely memories of days gone by. We're at Boardwalk Bakery Blasphemy.

Unfortunately we're here.

I'm already not having a great day.

Okay let me quote another Canadian -

Cape May something?

 

[lisaviolet]

Cape May something?

No. No. No Liz. It's Jamaican Christmas at home. I meant the actual food. It's not scrambled eggs. Jean cooked it.

I'm so incredibly confusing.

But thanks for playin'.

And wink wink INTERACTING wink wink.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

I was SO confused.

No idea on what it is. But I'm hungry. And little miss E keeps talking. And I need to go for a walk!

 

[lisaviolet]

Okay,

Let's reminisce. If I only knew how to spell the bloody word.

I can't even be bothered to go check.

Okay - Memories of the corners of my mind....misty water colour (yes colour!) memories of the way we were.

I know dramatic and probably screwed up the lyrics.

Yes, it's a plate. And yes it's fruit. And yes I'M IN MOURNING.

Deal with it.

Sighing. I'm going to go see if I can find a picture of this Boardwalk Bakery Fruit Plate so you can see how lovely it once was......

 

[lisaviolet]

I was SO confused.

No idea on what it is. But I'm hungry. And little miss E keeps talking. And I need to go for a walk!

Oh no - as our great love Ms. Pink says -

Please please don't leave me!!!!!!

One of the plate game foods is boiled dumplings.

 

[lisaviolet]

Oh no - as our great love Ms. Pink says -

Please please don't leave me!!!!!!

Actually I care more about your well being.

GO! RUN!

I'm way too off today.

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Oh no - as our great love Ms. Pink says -

Please please don't leave me!!!!!!

She's pregnant, did you see? So happy for her!

I'd kill for a brownie fruit plate right now!

OK girl, go write a TR! No more playing with fun games with the reindeer!

 

[lisaviolet]

Okay.

I don't even have a picture of my great love. It was cheap - it was BEYOND fresh. It was a great CS choice. A great whatever choice. It was MY choice.

The scoop was that it was a huge ritual for me. HUGE.

I ADORE the Boardwalk. I ADORE the Boardwalk porch/terrace. So many wonderful times. I ADORED the Boardwalk Bakery Fruit Plate (notice that I even give it capitals). I ADORED the brownie there too.

And I SO ENJOYED the combination.

Why "ed" on the brownie? Is it gone? Is it?

Nope. But someone about a year ago - who I would like to fire - decided wouldn't it be lovely if we sprinkled that creepy mouse guy all over our brownie?

No it wouldn't be lovely Mr. or Mrs. or Ms. CM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No it wouldn't be. I now have to pick off that candy crap or run over to the Beach Club to get a plain one again. But it doesn't really matter now, does it? Yes, I'm bitter.

Okay back on Lisa.

So for years and years I would get fruit plate after fruit plate. As soon as I got to WDW. And sometimes I would add a brownie to the mix and sit in one of the rocking chairs on the front porch of the Boardwalk. Sometimes I would read - sometimes I would people watch - sometimes I would just stare out and smile and thank God my dream of owning at this wonderful, beautiful, magical BWV came true.

And then December 2010 came. I had cheated on my Fruit Plate by going to a park first. But we were running from the MK back to our room. It was ready.

So I'm coming Fruit Plate - I'm coming.

My plate was waitng as was the NFL for Jean. Remember two Sundays and two Mondays in our holiday.

Angels must have been with me that day. Jean went down instead of going myself. I can't even imagine the scene if I had gone. Laughing. I would have had to stop tears. And I would have looked like a complete lunatic searching and searching through their fridge.

She wanted to get lunch. So with glee I said,

"Okay. Do one sandwich to share and one fruit plate".

Insert soap opera music.

She comes back up with a bag. I'm so happy. And out comes the sandwich - out comes the brownie with demon Mickey on top - and out comes these words -

I'm sorry Lisa. They don't have them anymore.

You are too funny!!!! I am laughing my butt off here!!!

 

[lisaviolet]

OMG Lisa your pics are making me drool like a teething baby. We are hoping to get a 2BR Standard view room for our 2012 trip, but since we are AKV owners it will be one of those 7 month deals where all we can do is cross our fingers and hope.

Susan,

I've stayed at the BW many many times and all my stays besides this one have been Standard view.

It's lovely and peaceful and a great deal.

I hope you get it. Might be very tough but do a waitlist for sure. Crossing my fingers for you.

Thanks for your sweet words - so nice to "meet" you and thanks for continuing to follow

Love you!

Reading....

LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH ERIKA.

Love you too. Thanks for reading.

Yes we were one room from a GV. Driectly across from the hoop toss which we LOVED.

Wait! Maybe we swapped rooms when you left. What floor?

I had NO IDEA you had BW view. Did you waitlist for it? Or just get very lucky?

I SO MISSED your not having a TR. I want to hear.

just wanted to say that this is the first TR you've written that I've read - and I'm loving it so far

Thanks Erica.

Erika meet Erica.

I've really only written one other full TR - I'll explain further down.

EDIT: I just found out I'm a big, fat liar who has serious memory issues.

That is a great view. And you are right about no one across the hall, one does not have to listen to the door slamming shut.

So true Sammie. Especially when you LIVE in the room so to speak. Thanks for coming over.

...did I miss the fruit plate somehow???

No, I'm just very very very slow nunzia.

Lisaviolet what a gift you have for writing! First time reading one of your trip reports and looking forward to more. Just got back from boardwalk. We were there December 14th to the 20th. We had a pool/garden view studio and ended up with an enclosed balcony but with the cold wind blowing part of our visit we really didn't use the balcony much. Also, love your pictures.

How sweet Dislainey. Thank you.

We were there from December 19-29.

Did you have a good time? Probably, eh? It's VERY HARD not to.

 

[lisaviolet]

So we both joined the Disboards that many years ago, and I haven't read your magnificent TR's, WHY? I am SO here now, I cannot wait for more, you are seriously hysterical!! And I must put this guy here to show you how much I want more, now. , ok once more

Jillpie,

You haven't missed a thing. I have one other full TR from last year.

Here -

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2424930

Oh no I lied. I realized linking back that I just lied.

I forgot all about this one! How could I?

Warning. I probably say the same things over and over and over and over....

And just photos -

And two separate photo TRs really that were one trip. I just separated Vero Beach with HHI.

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2131600

http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2131656

It was the purchase of my camera that started all this. When I was a teenager/early twenties I used to take pictures all the time. Then one day in university I walked into our darkroom. Sighing, I can still ridiculously remember this moment like it was yesterday and it was 1989!!! And I was SO EXCITED about the shots I had taken.

And I ruined rolls and rolls of film. Film days of course. And I was beyond frustrated and sad.

And that's an awful part of me. Of my personality. That I take things so I don't know the word - well it killed me.

And I stopped taking pictures. For years and years and years.

And just before Vero Beach. Just under two years ago. March Break. On the way down. I was in a Sam's Club in Erie, Pennsylvania. I too remember this moment with such clarity.

I went to the counter and said (cause I didn't have a lot of money ), "Do you have any cameras that you're selling off b/c they're discontiued?".

They did. I paid under a hundred for a three hundred dollar great point and shoot and the rest is history.

Now I've done trip reports and I've reclaimed the great joy and passion that I used to have. It's so simple but it's changed my life. And brought many wonderful people into my life.

So everyone should reclaim parts of their lives that they once loved.

Whoops sorry for the novel Jillpie - really only wanted you to know I've only written my TRs for in the last two years.

Thanks for following and thanks for your kind words.

ahhhh, you got "the room"
2x a year, for quite a few years, i guess at check-in whether we'll get that room or the one next door (since your still there, i'm not posting room numbers)...the floors vary from 3-5, and i'll say the exact room # before the CM about 80% of the time. kinda freaks them out a liitle: they get totally quiet, and give me the deadly, squinty, "you hacked into our sytem" look. it amuses me, and embarrasses my daughter or husband (depending on who's with me) to no end....kinda like calling strangers on the phones in WS and asking why they chose to wear a red shirt that day, etc

enjoy that view, have a drink on your balcony while watching illuminations, wake up early to watch the sun rise over the lake - it's an amazing view that i dream of almost every night

btw, i've loved your writing style from your first TR and this one is no less wonderful - please (cherries on top) keep it going!!

Thanks so much.

Did she just say 'watch the sun rise?"

Love it.

You see rope drops came under blasphemy. I find it difficult to make breakfast cutoffs at WDW.

Drinking on my balcony. Done with passion.

The room. Really?

I have more to say. Later.

Thanks for posting and following.

Lisaviolet, I'm not usually an avid follower of TR's, but you hooked me in & thoroughly enjoying it!!!!

Sweet. You all are so darn sweet.

Thanks for following.

That view was insanely good!!! What a gorgeous view of the water!

I know, eh?

Wish I was there right now.

A rum and coke and that view would ease any bad feelings.

 

[lisaviolet]

O---M---G!!! What a fantabulous view!!! And that was a "high floor" request w/BW view? WOWSA! When you are gone, let us know that room #...gotta file that for future visits....
As to you question: Thanks so much Debbie.

20 days out. Now 19!!!! Fantastic. Which resort? How long?

Helping our best friends celebrate 30 years & another couple is meeting us down there for 3 nights) we are staying at: CRT (1 night-arrival day to go up to top to see MK fireworks), OKW GV 3 nights & finishing up 2 nights @ THV. We have never stayed at these DVC resorts. A little "hoppy" BUT we r psyched!!!!
Keep the wonderful pics coming....

Oh lovely. So lovely iwannabindisnee. Have a wonderful time.

I don't know the room number. Really. Seven nights in that room and that resort.

I'm sorry. It's the Santa on the door. It's his fault.

Thanks for following and for your kind words.

Now that's a room with a view! I think I'd just sit on the balcony all day. We stayed at BWV this fall-just DH and myself-to run the F&W 1/2marathon. Stayed in a preferred view studio and was lucky enough to have a view of the village green, so we could see part of the boardwalk and had a nice view od Epcot. Our view didn't even compare to yours though. Makes me want to take the whole family and try and get a boardwalk view. Oh, and ran that race and can cross off running a 1/2 off my bucket list. If any of your friends are running the full marathon I give them major kudos. After running that, I can't understand anyone wanting to run a full!

Yes. Now that's a room with a view! for sure!

Good for you on the half.

One of our DISers is running the full. Ronda - Ronda93. SO courageous.

I so wish I could see them do the Princess.

Your view is fantastic! I love your pictures- keep them coming!

Thanks for stopping by mom2cobysyd.

I just adore your pics Lisa! Now I have to go back and read. Wow that snow is insane. Burr!

Amiee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Miss you.

One of the Princess runners nolanboys.

Hi Lisa, I'm reading! : )

Yeah! Thanks.

Another Princess runner nolanboys. Just in case you change your mind.

I hope to hear more soon. Great report so far!!

Hey? Husband? Susan?

Thanks so much.

I'm here! I'm here!

Keep it coming!!

Yeah. Helps so much.

Oh I am positively swooning about that view! How amazing! When we need to save points, we go for that BWV standard view - what a bargain! But if I could have THAT view, I might splurge!

I can't believe you haven't been in the parks in what, 4 years??? HUH? You really have to explain that!

Oh Lord Big Eeyore. I must delicately answer your 4 years find. Good eye. VERY SOON. Last time I mentioned it I was misunderstood and I got very insecure and frustrated.

Good find! Great interaction. I'm on it.

You should splurge but once again I ADORE BW Standard.

I'm here, too! Loving your TR and all the wonderful photos. Keep 'em coming!

Thanks Checkers. Thanks for posting. And thanks for your enthusiasm. I truly appreciate it.


Thanks everyone. It really helps to keep me on focus. Yes I realize that's not apparent.

Ok....I'll bite. Rice, Fried Plantain, Cod Fritters?.....but I have no clue what that stuff in the middle is!!

Thanks for the TR!!

I can so understand the mourning over the fruit plate. I mourn often, for desserts at WDW that have been taken away.

The delicious chocolate cream pie at Pecos Bills, the even more delicious trifle at the UK cart outside Rose and Crown.

There are more but if I think about it too much I might have to have therapy.

Oh and the key lime tart at SSR, it is just too much torture, you have my deepest sympathies over the loss of the Fruit Plate, it sounds like something I would have loved too.

 

[lisaviolet]

Yes it killed me.

Yes I didn't REALLY believe her.

Yes I was absolutely patronizing and assumed she had some part of the story wrong.

Yes I hung on to they must have said they were just out for the day or week.

Yes I went down to see myself.

Yes it's gone.

Yes, forever.

Yes I'm bitter.

Lovely to see that were seven pages in and I'm on day ONE. Day two, three, four, five and six will be in rapid speed. I promise.

So we watch a pigskin ball fly across a screen in THAT room for awhile. It's Sunday.

And then went to use our fastpasses for Soarin'.

Love Soarin'. Love Epcot. Love fastpasses. ADORE APs.

I remember how much squawking I got for not having any pictures from any parks last time. So I took many from my time at Epcot this trip.

And while I was resizing them all I realized that they hardly even look like theme park pictures. Which means I could have fooled you all last time. If I didn't have an overactive conscience, that is.

 

[lisaviolet]

Yeah we're at Day Two.

Finally.

One of the great days of my vacation. M - A - G - I - C- A - L!!!!!

And I only have one picture to post. Sorry.


And I would LOVE to say it's this one.

But it's not. I think that is Christmas Eve. Another magical day.

No, here is my one shot of that magical, magical day. And it's written all over my face.

I have a knowing.

You know those days when you're little and you wait at the door in anticipation of what you KNOW 100 % is going to be a day to remember. Well this was one of those moments.

We had a great day and I was all dressed and ready at the door just waiting to for our eleven o' clock PM bus to the MK.

My dreams have come true. The MK is open to 3 AM. YOu know what that means.



NO SUNSCREEN!!!!

Sorry it's my life as a pink girl - you just don't understand.

The reason I'm waiting and waiting at the door. She's not happy. At all. And I don't care. At all.

Can't you see I'm staying in my happy place.

She has no understanding of how THIS NIGHT will make our entire vacation much more relaxing and wonderful.

I wish I had a picture of her.

 

[lisaviolet]

It was beyond heaven. BEYOND. I will remember this day for years to come.

We walked on to every single ride that was open. (Except Space Mountain -which had a wait. _. And I do mean walked on.

It was WAY lower than any MNSSHP or MVMCP or that pirate thingy night that I've ever been to.

It was heavenly. I think I said that, eh?

I had a ball. And it seemed that every other person that was there on December 20th was having a ball too. Great energy.

Started at Adventureland. Climbed up the treehouse looked at the fantastic photo opportunities and sighed in heavenly glory. Went to push the button and went "gotcha" beautiful view.

And nothing happened. I looked down. I never put my recharged battery back in. I must have put it in for a minute to recharge while I waited for Grumpy to get ready.

Oh well. That's life. No pictures. All for the best - it wrecks her time sometimes for me to be so transfixed by photo opportunities.

Grumpy had a ball.

I had a ball.

We timed everything perfectly. We went to Fantasyland around 2:40 AM. Rode Peter Pan twice without getting out ! Did It's a Small World (which she LOVES - me I even liked it on THAT night) at 2:55 AM and out of the park after three. THANK YOU DISNEY CMs for our night. Kudos to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did everything. Just a wonderful, wonderful day.

Such joy. Such joy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Up next: weather is all over the place but sun shines for ten days!!!!

Yeah a live follower. Well sort of - I missed her. And interaction.

Double points for you Sammie.

Geez - sighing - not good.

Thank you for your sympathies Sammie. Someone who understands. To you as well.
