Clowning Around on the Boardwalk! A Wigdout Trip report

VB has a 40% sale online in cupcake pink and green, if anyone is interested. I am not an enabler yet.

I see your ticker says 25th anniv. Congrats!! Our too this year. Ours is May 25th but going down just a little early to celebrate. Have a great trip!!

Oh & I did not need to know about a VB sale!! Very dangerous!!:lmao:
 

I am soooo excited for an update, and wow, what an update. :banana: F & G was really pretty. I haven't gotten around to posting my pictures, because that was our last full day there.

I'm trying to remember if my teenaged girls ate pastries that morning while we were at EP...........................:rolleyes1 ....................................NO, I'm pretty sure they didn't, so we're not guilty this time! :lmao:
 
Wow two updates your report has taken off really fast here all of the sudden ! lol

The wrong Airport :scared1: At least you had plenty of time to get to the correct one :)

The Airport looked more like a Bass pro Shop then a Airport :laughing:

Do you have the disboards app for your i-phone , if so how do you like it ? Was thinking about getting it for mine :)

Beautiful Flower & Garden pictures , the camping theme is too cute ! Were really gonna miss seeing all flowers this year , going for our 1st time in September this year after going at the end of April beginning of May every year before :)

Your BWV room is beautiful and what a great view ! I love the lamp too :love:

Can't wait to read more popcorn::popcorn::

I got the e-ticket app for my iphone and while I haven't used it in the parks, it looks like it will be pretty cool. I've used it for other stuff (planning and research) and DISboards. The only complaint I have on the boards is that I can't use my quick links for subscriptions to find my favorite threads easily. Even after I log in. Otherwise, it's pretty dang cool!

We went to Disney World on our Honeymoon so we are going back to celebrate 25 years of marriage and 25 years of Disney Magic.

May you have a happy 25th full of Disney Magic also.
 
Rachel, Hi! Thanks for coming over here! You will be mentioned in this trip report and I'll be showing pictures of my visit on your behalf over on MeMom and Jill's thread as well!
I remember those "Price is Right" bids!:laughing:

I've been packing, cleaning and generally getting our house ready to go on the market and our move to KS. So, I'm kinda sort of22 pages behind :guilty: But I am determined to catch up if it kills me! It helps that you only have day one posted.... :upsidedow

I appreciate you making the visit for me! Here is to hoping it worked! Can't wait to see the pics! :lmao:

Where in Kansas?
 
We woke up, not very early to drive about 5 hours to fly out of a new airport in Missouri.
This would be Marc (Shocker).

and me, Miss Anita Wigd.

We normally fly out of Wichita but found much better airfare out of Branson MO so off we went. Didn't have to leave until nearly nine in the morning.
The drive went smoothly.
Thanks to my Iphone I was able to facebook and DIS so actually the drive went fast.
I smelled a skunk if you were following on facebook, and I read a couple of chapters of a book that needed to be read for a book study at school.
We arrived at the airport near Springfield, MO early.
Marc let me off near the door with the bags.
Headed to long term parking.
It wasn't far away.
We couldn't find the Airtran counter.
Guess what?
Wrong airport!:scared1:

Off he went to get the car.
Picked me up at the door with the luggage.
Off we went to the BRANSON airport.
Didn't I say Branson in the first place?

Time for a story from my past......:cloud9:
Back in the 60's when I was really young.
My grandparents had a cabin on Tablerock Lake near Branson.
They lived in Springfield, MO.
There was no super highway to get you there, just a windy highway through the Ozark Mtns.
Grandpa Luther used to load us up in the back of the pickup at night and off we would go 8 of us kids (me the youngest) driving slow, traffic backed up behind us to the cabin..... us waving and making faces.
That cabin had an outhouse. :laughing:
Silver Dollar City only had a train and a cave...
Branson had the Baldknobbers!:rotfl2:
It sure has changed!

Anyway making that drive makes me think of those days.

On our way to the correct airport I suddenly realized that I forgot my flatiron!
:eek:
We stopped at a Bed Bath and Beyond.
They had a Chi.
Crisis averted.:yay:

We made it to the airport with time to spare.
This airport was like a visit to Wilderness Lodge, see what you think!


Animal tracks in the concrete directing you which way to go.

A place to feed hungry travelers.

As much as this didn't look like an airport it was! This is when when and where we were going

Airport chairs for sitting, but wouldn't be good for sleeping.

Spending some time DISing....

Soon it was time to board and after a quick flight we were in Orlando and at Pop Century Resort!
Cont. in next post!

Sorry I've been off the DIS for a few days only to find 10 pages on your TR...:eek:

Thank Goodness for your link!

That airport looks beautiful!!! I can fall asleep anywhere and those chairs don't look that bad.
 
Great updates! The pics were really nice. The one bedroom looks sooooo nice. All those pics were great until the niew of the scary clown :scared1: Sadly we will just miss the F&G festival
There is nothing that will spoil you like your first stay in a 1br....
Just be warned!;)
I'm sad that they are ending F&G so early this year, last year we were able to see it twice.

Hey guys!!! Yes I will be working this week every day but Friday/Saturday!!! Look for either the name Julia..or Judi ( I am Julia..but I sometimes forget my nametag and end up Judi!! LOL :D ) Dont be shy and come say hello!! I work all nights this week and next week I work during the day till late at night!!! Good luck finding me! :D:hippie:
I think you are going to be a very popular girl Miss Julia!:goodvibes
Greg always jokes that he learned to eat fast by growing up with 3 brothers. You ate fast or you didn't eat!

I'll be sure to grab those strawberries on my first trip through the line :teeth:
I wish I was going to be down there for a dipped strawberry! I'm going to have to ask Shocker why he eats so darned fast....:confused3
I'm gonna hijack your TR for a minute to brag about some Pixie Dust!!

We are planning to go down July 25th - 30th, to avoid the Saturday night points! Well I was checking on air fare this weekend and if we go on Saturday night at 7p vs Sunday morning at 6a we save almost $500!!! There are 6 of us with the kids this year, so holy cow is that great. The pixie dust comes in when I called DVC to add on to my AKV 2br Savanna view - they had it open!!:cool1: So no split stay - with 6 people I can't imagine!! Of course it cost me 68 points but I am still carrying over 171 to next year so I felt it was worth it!

Now on to your regular broadcasting....
We had a 2br savanna view at Christmas and can I just say we loved the 3 bathrooms! Plus the animals were so much fun! You are going to have a great stay!
Be sure to count your steps to the villa! We had a rather long walk...
Congrats on your pixie dust!

Yes! I do have the Eticket app for my Iphone and I love it!
Great for passing the time in the car...
Or at a boring meeting!:laughing:
You will miss those flowers, we had only gone during F&G then went in July and I was totally shocked.:eek:
Epcot seemed naked!:laughing:
You will adjust.
Life goes on.
We had a wonderful stay at Boardwalk....
:cloud9:
Wigd is not familiar with the term "carrying over".....:laughing:
Maybe I don't carry over but I was complimented by a member services CM for not making a mess of our points by borrowing them which I have not done!
I know she will make a comment, so, yes, I was posting from school. I did not feel good enough to be eating lunch so I chose to be here instead....
He probably should have taken his puny self on home....
Neither do I. We have a Dec. use year... we're out of Dec. '09 points, and out of Dec. '10 points, and just BORROWED 48 Dec. '11 points. I think it's time for us to add on!
I much prefer to add-on over borrowing....

Oh, I think this message qualifies you as a member of the enabler's club.:hug:

Congrats to you both! Too late on the Vera news. I had an email from Vera waiting for me....:laughing:
I am staying away from the VB site today. ;)
I paid the website a visit....:rolleyes1
I am soooo excited for an update, and wow, what an update.
F & G was really pretty. I haven't gotten around to posting my pictures, because that was our last full day there.

It wasn't you all, I would have said hi!
Your definition of enabling must be different than mine!

Yes, no quick links but it's nice to have to look for trip reports, that's where I typically hang out!
I was thinking the same thing!!
Exactly....
There was only one thing I wanted, and it was already sold out. It's easy to be virtuous when that happens. :laughing:

So what was it you were wanting?
 
Yes VB does!!!! and I got an awesome travel bag in the green!!!! I'm becoming a VBaholic......LOL
Oh no Wanna, you are going to become hopeless.

I see your ticker says 25th anniv. Congrats!! Our too this year. Ours is May 25th but going down just a little early to celebrate. Have a great trip!!

Are you going to be up in the KC area? I'm thinking you mentioned that a while back...
The trip over to Wilderness Lodge was our pleasure! I made lots of wishes that day!
Good luck with the house!

Check the links again Jordan...
I've added a few more.
Do you have links up too?
I need some on yours I'm at least a month behind.
:sad2:
 
Where in Kansas?

If all works out, Junction City or Manhattan. My husband has been offered a job in JC so hopefully we will be headed that way in July.

I did it... I caught up. :rolleyes1
congrats on the second grandbaby :lovestruc

LOVE the Flower and Garden pictures. Will definately have to do that sometime. You are an enabler. :rotfl:

Rachel

Yes! I do have the Eticket app for my Iphone and I love it!
Great for passing the time in the car...
Or at a boring meeting!:laughing:

Teachers have boring meetings?
I'm sure you meant you use it for recording all that data they share with you so you can go home and evaluate it over dinner, right?




He probably should have taken his puny self on home....

If my Tennessee bug flew his way, expect it to stay for a solid three days. :sad2:


I much prefer to add-on over borrowing....
