Great pics Wigd! Still - no more FP's by 1130am????? Yikes....too crowded for me....glad you relaxed by exploring the trails.

 

[nowellsl]

The lady behind you is saying, 'I know you are faking a family picture just to get another shot of the interesting lady with the red hair'.

You're not fooling anybody.

I was thinking the same thing! I love how the hair matches the bag

 

[uncw89]

I was thinking the same thing! I love how the hair matches the bag

me too! nice hair!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

That dress is officially on my list of things to find on our trip in May. I love it!

That dress is really cute! Hopefully they will still have the AP discounts going on in the mornings so you can get 20% off!

Exotic!! I'll say!! Here let me take my purse to my stylist and have her give me the exact shade of red
Love the fruit bats too.....I have a bat house out back that I have to hang....hope my neighbors don't mind
Can't wait for the Lost on Safari love your Slushie card!! That is awesome!!
I try not to look at those giraffe skulls when I walk by
That baby is just precious!! Look at that little face! She is adorable!
Looks like a very crowded day at AK

Tracy

Yay, another bat lover!
That Lost on Safari was good!
Just drink it slowly. . .
Michelle made the slushie cards and they turned out very cute! I'm sure she can send it to you if you want to make one.

Yay, the baby gorilla pictures! You guys got so lucky with those, when we went to AK, mom & baby were way back in the nest.

Aren't you spending some time at WDW before the cruise? You could always buy that dress then...

I clearly need to spend more time shopping at AK - you posted pictures of lots of stuff I like that I can't remember ever seeing before. Your TR is definitely going to cost me some $ in June.

They did have some really cute stuff at AK! If I don't find anything before we leave I might be forced to look for something down there because we will be there for 5 days before the cruise.
Mom and baby were super close, so we were very lucky they were napping away from their real nest.

I'm so glad for an update.

The baby gorilla is precious! I hate that we missed her while we were there in March. I'm really going to try to see her during this May trip.

Uhmmmmm, am I to guess that you got the navy blue/ Mickey Dooney? OR are you just trying to throw us off-track with the last picture?

We were just there at the right time to get a picture of the baby, mama wasn't always so eager to share her with the public...
Yes, I did get the navy blue D&B.

I cannot imagine you wanting to see things from MY perspective! ​

Is that what she meant???

Love the baby gorilla pictures. Yesterday MeMom had me missing EPCOT.. now I want a day at AK! Great shopping pictures, and good luck finding the dress for the cruise.

Laura, anyplace you go will be just where you want to be!
That baby gorilla was beyond cute! I couldn't believe our luck.

LOVE it!!!

Oh my goodness... we saw the baby gorilla too. In fact she was breast feeding her. For the longest time the mom had her back to us but we waited and waited and finally she turned around and showed us and I took a video.. it was amazing. I can't wait to write about the experience in my TR because it was just incredible.

I'm sure it was amazing, it's not very often that you get to see a newborn gorilla up close and personal.
Have you started a trip report?

TOLD YOU THEY WE SO VERY VERY VERY GOOD!!! JALEPENO Pretzel and Lost on Safari. My favorite lunch at AK!!!!



I have the red one on the left! How do I know?? Because I am wearing it RIGHT NOW!!!!



Okay THIS ONE I MUST HAVE! I hope they have it in June, I hope they have it in June!!!!

The baby gorilla is TOOOOO cute!!!! And I like the dress as well, but I am sure you can find something special for the cruise! Summer dresses are starting to show up everywhere!

Raglan Road looks fun and the food tasty! Makes me hungry for Fish and Chips! YUM! Love all the D & B bags!!!

You know it was strange, I passed up so many snacks, I just wasn't hungry...
No Mickey Bars...
No Jalepeno pretzels
No Creamcheese pretzels
No Dolewhip
No Churro
Actually no snacks in the parks.
I really hope I'm hungry next trip.
That is so cool that you were wearing the shirt that was in that picture and I hope you find the green one. I thought it was very cute!

Wigd, did you tell her about THOSE pictures? ​

Cut it out!

Great updates! LOVE the slushie lushie card on your purse! TOO cute!!! I have yet to try the Lost on Safari so you have added yet another item to the "to-do" list in Oct. Baby gorilla is adorable. Love all the shopping pics. See quite a few items that I would love to have. Why is Disney shopping so darn addictive??

They just had some very cute merchandise in Island Mercantile this past trip! I think you need to pm Michelle for the Slushie Lushie image, you should be a card carrying member!
That Lost on Safari was yummo!

I have to start a To-do list with C for October LOL!!

Loved the pictures of the Animals and you guys with the characters...so much fun!!!

OOOH Ragland Road looks so yummy! I will have to eat there some time...I love R & C so I imagine I would love Ragland Road too.

Dooney and Burkey Disney purses...my mom is a huge Dooney and Burke fan I'm thinking I know what I'm getting her for Christmas!!!

Great update Anita!

Oh yes, you girls have your list started for October!
We had a good time in AK despite the crowds, and Ragland Road was fun, just go later when you can see the Irish dancer.
Does your mom like D&B & Disney?

Awwww, the baby gorilla is so sweet! I'll be on the look out next week.

I can't wait to try the Lost on Safari, sounds delish.

AND, oh my - I will be in Dooney heaven if they still have that many different styles! The hard part will be deciding which one to get.......

Isn't it fun to say "next week"?
I hope you get to see that baby!
If you are like me, you will look at the bags and you will know immediately!
The navy and white just looked so crisp, it just called to me.

 

[BrooklynnsMommy]

That dress is really cute! Hopefully they will still have the AP discounts going on in the mornings so you can get 20% off!

That would be awesome!!!!

 

[michellem1118]

If anyone wants the slushie lushie image to make a bag tag of your own, just PM me with your email address and I'll work on them this week. It shouldn't take long to personalize them and email them out.

 

[uncw89]

What's in a Lost on Safari? They look yummy!
During Spring Break, I didn't get a lot of snacks either. I did get a Dole Whip, but I never got to try the slushies!!! They are on my list for next time, whenever that will be! I have no trips planned! I'm hoping to go again for New Years,but DH doesn't want to go then. He said it was too crowded when we went this past NY.

 

[addictedtothemouse]

I loved your updates Wigd. I hope we see the baby gorilla when we go in May.
FPs already gone by 11:30? that's scary crowded!

 

[wsushocker]

What's in a Lost on Safari? They look yummy!

Lost on the Safari - Light rum, Captain Morgan spiced rum, fruit punch​

 

[wigdoutdismom]

The baby gorilla is so cute! Love the shopping pics and the bag you got!

She was really cute, thanks on the bag, I do like it!

Oh how cute is that baby gorilla!?

What is in the Lost in Safari drink?

Did Shocker take your picture in front of the red head just to show us the red head???

I also love that dress.
Can't wait to get a parfait in July!!! YUM!

Lost on Safari is 2 kinds of rum and fruit punch, can you say yum?
That baby gorilla was just the cutest! That is something you don't see everyday!
Hmmmmm, the red head.
I hope you enjoy that parfait!

I loooooove that Tink shirt next to the dress! I wish I would have seen that when we were there.

There are a few of us with trips coming up, if you really want that shirt, I'll bet it can be arranged.....

Love the shopping photos.
I need to make a D&B purchase soon.

Have you decided on one?

We've always enjoyed good food at Raglan Road. You're lucky you went early... the wait for tables gets crazy later on in the evening!

Seeing mommy and baby gorilla together was such a stroke of luck! I'm so happy you were able to catch them!

I am seriously pining for a Disney D&B...


Kathy

We were so fortunate to get a glimpse of mama and baby!
Raglan Road was great but I would have loved to see the dancing.
So which Dooney strikes your fancy?

I will be trying a Yogurt Parfait very very soon!! (and not at McDonalds)

What is in a "Lost On Safari"?? I may need to try one of those too!!

Nice shopping pics. Love the scarves & the dress.

Great photopass pics of the 2 of you.

Lost on Safari is 2 kinds of rum and fruit punch, careful it carries a punch!
The yogurt parfait is a Beach Club specialty, I hope you enjoy it!

The baby gorilla is so adorable. You're so lucky she was so close.

You're such a bad influence with those shopping pictures. I'm sure Disney was seeing dollars signs as you were snapping those photos.

I need to be Raglan on my list for someday. Of course I would also have to figure out a way to trick DH into going. You would think just by telling him it's an Irish establishment and his last name is Irish would work.

I think the CMs in the store thought I was nuts!
We were so lucky seeing the gorilla mom and baby!
Sneak, plot, scheme, whatever it takes to get dh to Raglan Road, it's good!

What luck seeing the baby gorlilla and mom.
I will have to try that Lost on safari ... looks Yummy

Both were great!

Awww, the baby gorilla was so cute! You were so lucky to get those shots! I hope we get to see her this summer.

The Lost on Safari looks yummy! Might just have to give it a taste test for myself!

I hope you get to see her too, take lots of pics!
Get your own Lost of Safari and give me your review!

Great updates! Love all the pics. Congrats on the new bag!!

Thanks, I'm loving the bag!

What a fun update! First, thanks Shocker for the giraffe skull pics -- I never realized their heads looked quite like that! Hurray for being able to see the baby gorilla! So, so, so cute! Double yippees for trying a Lost on Safari! Can't wait to have another one of those! The Slushie Lushie tag on your mailbag is great! Dinner at Raglan Road looks delicious -- what a perfect way to celebrate St. Patty's Day! The Photopass pics of the two of you are so adorable! You need to frame them for your desk at school!

My dear husband is always thinking of you.....
We were so thrilled to see that baby gorilla, it was amazing!
I think it was you and Jennifer that introduced me to the Lost on Safari so thank you both!
I'm thinking you need your own Slushie Lushie tag for your mailbag!
You might want to think about Raglan Road too....

Thanks for posting the Raglan pics. I think those windows are lovely!

It's really pretty in there!

The lady behind you is saying, 'I know you are faking a family picture just to get another shot of the interesting lady with the red hair'.

You're not fooling anybody.





We are hoping to get a glimpse of that little girl in a couple of weeks.

Okay, okay, you figured us out...
We were stalking the red head.


I hope you get to take a good long look at that baby girl in LESS than 2 weeks time!

gorillas and shopping...I got really confused for a second when I saw your picture Anita because I thought I was on MeMom's TR! I hope to see that little baby too, and I'm prepared to either celebrate or console myself with a Lost on Safari!

I know, can you believe we are both talking Animal Kingdom?

I hope you get to see that little baby and have your Lost on Safari and a celebration!

I just check the Timeshare Store emails each time they come out. It's funny because normally I don't look at Vero Beach, only Beach Club.
I happened to check out all of the Feb. use year contracts this time because that's our use year and that one just screamed at me....
I read it to Shocker and he thought it looked really good to.
We had just been to a presentation a few days before at BLT and honestly to buy from Disney was going to cost us double that.
Yes, they had the cruise incentive, but with the resale deal not only could we purchase at half price, we would get 09' points.
It was a great deal!
If you are serious about purchasing a resale contract, I suggest contacting Timeshare Store. Tell them what you are looking for. They will find it for you.

I get those emails too! I will have to look at them more closely for my use year...but that might get too tempting. One day I will add on!!!! I'm glad you mentioned about getting the same use year! I thought that it would be too confusing to have different use years.

No new Veras, no new Veras, no new Veras.....
I'm not sure about the points.
I can ask in chat tomorrow night. There are a couple of the moderators that know a lot about DVC.
When and where is the chat? I've never done any Dis chats.

Thank you, I can't wait to go to Vero!
Congrats on the Vero points! It's nice. We went there in 6/06 of course they had just had tropical storm Alberto when went...literally that week...so things were probably not at there very best. The beach and pool were nice though.

Some Saturday I need to leave this computer alone and do some serious cleaning around here.
As soon as the points are in the DVC system we'll see just what I do with the points that were banked and have to be used this year...
Isn't that the truth! I spend way too much time on the Dis!!!! and the computer! I can't wait to hear your plotting with the new points!



The cruise is most tempting to add on! I thought the deaks were good. We joined DVC on our first cruise!



Can't wiat to hear the incentives!



Awesome news on the photopass CD! Too bad I'm not going anytime soon!

Chat is 8:00 central time
Thanks on the points, we mailed in the closing documents and cashiers check tonight!
Although we will go to the DVC party on the cruise we are NOT adding on!
Always add on in your current use year.... it's a mess if you don't. If you purchase through Disney, they will put your points in your current use year.

Yay for an update! It was great with the little girl pix - too cute ! And again tempting me with the D&B's!! I am sure a stop at WOD is in order this July, to add to my collection - must have the blue one NOW!!

I recieved my VB order this weekend and could not keep it until June for my dd Gabriella's birthday - so I gave it to her early! She was in HEAVEN!! I swear she slept with the bag and her wallet! I also bought her an eyeglass case in pink cupcake which she immediately put to use by putting on her contacts! I bought my younger dd Adrianna a small VB in Mediterranean White and a matching wallet (20 for both) - but she was not as overjoyed as Gabriella - actually she said - didn't they have anything in purple? No - not on sale dear - was my response! Geez you can't please these kids! I told her I'll keep it then, immediately she changed her mind ! Sadly there was nothing in the box for me ... Maybe next purchase - with free shipping!

I'm still loving the Cupcakes pink but I do love my D&B in Navy!

We've been on the trails during May and I never noticed they were fruit trees either , again one of WDW's magical touches !

I figured it was him just being silly but I know you like to shop soo I figured maybe you had gotten some real WDW dishes also lol

Yipee ! Another Update

I say there are some exotic things lurking around AK and they seem to be not just the animals

Nice shots of Nemo , I also have trouble taking those indoor dark shots , there hit or miss IMO

The shopping pictures at AK , DH saw them when he needed to use the computer for a min. and I told him he was interrupting my shopping lol

Raglan Road looked very yummy and what cute decorations !

Nice D&B pictures , I'm def getting myself one of those bags when I go !

I'll bet those oranges are gone by May. They were dropping in March.
Yes, the humans were exotic as well. I wonder if we see those exotic creatures anywhere else?
You will have to show and tell your new D&B when you get it!

Hey there lady! I'm jumping on board! A bit late... but I'm sure you don't mind! Just got caught up and I'm loving all of your pictures.

Just wanted to let you know I'm here!

Helloooooo!
So glad you found me and honestly you aren't late at all, we are just a chatty bunch.
My last updates need to be linked, I'll get that done and you can find them!
Thanks for joining up!

Why is it that 5 pages have passed since you did an update? I am so far behind on everyone's TR and general Dis'ing. I am in my last minute "trying to get everything done before I go away" mode. Love your update and I will make sure I see all the pics this evening. Of course, by then there may be another 5 pages of comments added.

Sorry to hear it was so crowded at AK, but as long as you guys are going with the flow, it really doesn't matter. I really want to see the bats this trip!

p.s. - I think you are right about the on site incentives. It won't be anything better than resale, but I can't help being a tad curious.

I'm curious to hear what they have to say too!
I don't think you could have been 5 pages behind...

Great pics Wigd! Still - no more FP's by 1130am????? Yikes....too crowded for me....glad you relaxed by exploring the trails.

It was just packed but the non exciting areas were fine! Good thing that's where we were heading!

I was thinking the same thing! I love how the hair matches the bag

It was just crazy!

me too! nice hair!

I hope she isn't someone on the DIS....

That would be awesome!!!!

Keep a close eye on your receipts for the discount!

If anyone wants the slushie lushie image to make a bag tag of your own, just PM me with your email address and I'll work on them this week. It shouldn't take long to personalize them and email them out.

I knew you would be happy to offer!

What's in a Lost on Safari? They look yummy!
During Spring Break, I didn't get a lot of snacks either. I did get a Dole Whip, but I never got to try the slushies!!! They are on my list for next time, whenever that will be! I have no trips planned! I'm hoping to go again for New Years,but DH doesn't want to go then. He said it was too crowded when we went this past NY.

We had talked about NYE as well then decided to go before Christmas to try and beat the crowds. So I guess I'm agreeing with your DH. If there wasn't another time to go, I'd go then though...

I loved your updates Wigd. I hope we see the baby gorilla when we go in May.
FPs already gone by 11:30? that's scary crowded!

Well, that's spring break for you, there was just a high concentration of people in the park at that time that day...
Good luck seeing that baby!

Lost on the Safari - Light rum, Captain Morgan spiced rum, fruit punch​

I will definitely have to try one! Sounds yummy!

She was really cute, thanks on the bag, I do like it!

Lost on Safari is 2 kinds of rum and fruit punch, can you say yum?
That baby gorilla was just the cutest! That is something you don't see everyday!
Hmmmmm, the red head.
I hope you enjoy that parfait!

There are a few of us with trips coming up, if you really want that shirt, I'll bet it can be arranged.....

I like that red Mickey one, the one you said you were wearing.

Have you decided on one?

We were so fortunate to get a glimpse of mama and baby!
Raglan Road was great but I would have loved to see the dancing.
So which Dooney strikes your fancy?

Is it everynight? Yeah on the closing!I'm still loving the Cupcakes pink but I do love my D&B in Navy!

Now that I've started reading about the Cupcakes pink I've seen a lot of people with the bags! DS even said, "Hey, that lady has a bag like your new one! He also notices hidden Mickeys! I've trained him well!

I'll bet those oranges are gone by May. They were dropping in March.
Yes, the humans were exotic as well. I wonder if we see those exotic creatures anywhere else?

I'm sorry I didn't get to see the baby gorilla!

 

[Charleston Princess]

I think I need a Slushie Lushie tag, too -- especially if we head to the Food and Wine Festival in October. I will have to PM Michelle soon.

Shocker, I finished Fairest of All tonight -- I really enjoyed it -- those three sisters were VERY creepy!

I think I am going to order that book! I love the evil queen! Was it really good? Also, are there any other books like this? Sorry for sooo many questions!

 

[raider97]

Great updates! Love the new bag! That Lost on Safari sounds yummy!


Love pictures of the baby gorilla! My grandparents took me to the zoo as a young child and the baby gorilla I saw is the only thing I remember of that trip. They are so beautiful!


Congrats on your disney contract. I would love to visit Vero sometime. Speaking of trips, how is WDW in early June? It will be a couple of years before we get back. But we are considering June then. My oldest will turn into a Disney adult then. Better make the most of those child prices. How is the heat and the crowds?


I bought a new Vera too! A Libby in Cupcake Pink a couple of weeks ago. I love it! It is such a fun print!


How is Harper? And Keely feeling these days?


You and Shocker got great photopass pictures this trip! I agree that several of them are desk worthy!


How did your Mickey bullentin board come out?

 

[manntra]

Ohhhhh Julia
Just wondering if you got your schedule for next week....you have a lot of fans next week
