Clowning Around on the Boardwalk! A Wigdout Trip report

[DWGal210]

My goodness, I have missed a LOT!

First of all, and most importantly, I am glad your arm did not require surgery. You poor thing!! I will be thinking about you, I hope you feel better each day!!

And congrats on being Grandma again! Babies are just the best, aren't they?

We are going again in November too - but we will miss each other again!! Darn it all!

You take care and have a great week!

Went away for the weekend and I'm so far behind now. Love your sovie pictures. You always find the neatest stuff. I spent my last trip looking for those Mickey head key chains. I finally found them at the Poly then started seeing them everywhere.

 

[KathyRN137]

Love the souvies... 'specially the pins!

How cool is the F&G pin with the "plantable card" attached?!!

Feel better... I'm looking forward to hearing more about the trip, esp now that I've seen all your loot!

Congratulations on your new Grandbaby! Best wishes and prayers for you guys and Keeley!

I love absolutely all of those souvies! I want one of each too! Even the toys and pins! I definately want the handbag and Minnie garden statue! Very very very cute!

 

[njtinkmom]

I am so jealous of all your DVC stuff!! I am definately doing some serious shopping in July!! I absolutely LOVE the D&B purse! I have the original one and actually like yours better - I'll have to start working on hubby now to convince him I NEED another one

Congrats on your upcoming bundle of joy! I hope Keeley is feeling well!

My first Social Studies class just finished eating snow pea crisps, seaweed crackers, and peach gummy snacks. Your choices were a big hit! Thank you so much, because they really enjoyed that experience.

They were in the lunch line telling the second group all about it. The second group will get theirs after lunch.

 

[shannn]

YAY!!! We passed ROFR. We're new DVC members!

32 pages and not a post other than the original, is that some sort of record? Wow, ok, let me try to catch it all, let me know if I missed anything...

That really stinks about the broken arm! I'm glad you don't have to have surgery. I hear you about being worried about it with a classroom full of kids. Ellie(DD5) broke her collarbone right after she started kindergarten this year. Talk about a worried mom!

Congrats on the new grandbaby! Since I'm new to you, am I correct that this is your 2nd? Just trying to catch up!

Wow that is a lot of photos! I thought I was camera happy with just over 1,400 photos from our August trip! Brent thinks I'm crazy for some of the stuff I take photos of. I'm glad I have other people like me so I can show him later.. see, look how many photos other people took of F&G!

Yay on the souvenir photos! I love, love, love the Minnie statue! It is soooo cute. Once again we kind of snubbed Epcot(more due to weather than anything), so we focused on seeing the flowers more than the merchandise. I am really bummed now that we are home and see what fun I missed buying! I totally want one of those statues now!

Ok, I think I got it all! Looking forward to more!

I stopped in and looked in that store for a HHI shirt - Disney inspired for Hannah when we were at HH. I don't remember a great selection of stuff... so I would recommend our personal shopper! My package made my week!

Good to know, Laura! Thanks!

I second that, CP -- Laura is right, it is rather small, and while they did have some Disney merchandise, the selection was small -- well selective. So not sure what you had in mind, but in case, I too would take WigD up on her services!!! I got my little box too!!

 

[jordanyosh]

Thanks Jordan, I have renamed myself, Point Piggy.....
We found the Wasabi Peas AND the Rice candy in the pink box on the Japanese aisle at the super market. We have now made a 2nd trip to get more.....
My new favorite snacks!

I'm glad you like!!!!!

I may need to go get some wasabi peas right now too....

 

[wigdoutdismom]

I got one a while back but I'm scared to put it on my antenna, because someone might take it I'll have to see if I can figure out a way to hang it from the rearview mirror!

I still don't have my Mickey Bar on my antenna yet, waiting for Shocker to make it fit my strange antenna.

You know what I've been looking for? A window cling Mickey Head!!! Can't find them anywhere. Just a black Mickey head. If anyone knows where to find them, let me know. I really don't want a magnet, since it could be taken easily and might damage the car if left on too long. I searched and found the little people wearing Mickey ears, but that's it. I figure if anyone knows, it would be Anita or maybe Jackie - my expert shoppers!!

You can get the black window cling on ebay... Just make one yourself!

They do have a gift shop at the HHI resort, but I am not sure how big it is -- I may have to send you a list just to be on the safe side!

PM me your list, you know how much I love to shop!

I stopped in and looked in that store for a HHI shirt - Disney inspired for Hannah when we were at HH. I don't remember a great selection of stuff... so I would recommend our personal shopper! My package made my week!

Spending other folks' money is even more fun!

Good to know, Laura! Thanks!

It will be my pleasure!

Yeah, they came back and made a game of it - cut the lead to 3 with about 40 seconds left. If they could have gotten a stop there they would have had a chance. Oh well, they had a great season, nothing to hang their heads about!

It doesn't surprise me that she comes from a basketball family, she has really contributed as just a freshman - of course, she's like 6'3" so that helps!

All 3 of the sisters were fun to watch in High School!

Well obviously math isn't my thing!

I got the Minnie T at a place called Rugged Wearhouse. They get name brand clothes that have minor flaws and sell them dirt cheap. My shirt was $5.99. I can't tell that there's anything wrong with it. It's in the washer right now so I'll get a picture once it's dried.

I can't wait to see, I went online to look at your Rugged Wearhouse and they don't have an online catalog. Drat!

If you get him convinced let us know!

I sure will! I priced out the trip today, not too pricy, but I am hoping for free dining, that would sure help! Southwest does not have november up yet, but I put in the dates of Oct 28th thru Nov. 2nd. thru disney. Airtran is up but we would have to get connecting flights. We would have to have a very early flight on the 2nd, DH would have to be back into work at 11pm that night, and I would want him to get some sleep before going in. Shew...that was a longer post then intended!

Congrats on the new grandbaby!

The last time we made that f&w trip I can remember dragging our luggage through SSR at 4:00 am before we knew that bell services would come and pick us up. This time we are leaving much later. Thank goodness!
It would be fun if it works out for you to go!

Love all your souvie pictures. I just don't know if I'd have the patience to wait on them. I want them as soon as I get home!

Congrats on a new grandbaby to love and a little cousin for Harper!

We waited just over 2 weeks for the box to get here, I was anxious for it to arrive but that garden statue was heavy! So it was best to ship it...
The Minnie and her outfits took up quite a bit of space too...
I think in a few years Harper will enjoy having a little cousin to play with!

Just catching up were out of town visiting family for the week so I'll be doing a lot of that this week while were gone !

Thank goodness for no surgery

Great souvenier pictures !

My favs are :
Minnie Garden Statue
Dress-up Minnie
Flower & Garden Pin w / the Flamingo's
Dooney & Bourke Purse

Can't wait to read more of your report

You have missed none of the trip report because it hasn't even started!

Howdy! I'm hopping on over from Dawn's TRs. I hope I haven't missed too much yet! I have to start reading but thought I'd say hi first...

Hi there! I recognize you. Honestly the only thing you have missed so far is the broken arm, the contest, and the souvies. I haven't even made it to day one yet...

Just wanted to say hi, coming out of lurkdom! Haha! Can't wait to hear about your trip!

Welcome out from behind the lurking curtain! Just in time, I haven't even started yet!

My goodness, I have missed a LOT!

First of all, and most importantly, I am glad your arm did not require surgery. You poor thing!! I will be thinking about you, I hope you feel better each day!!

And congrats on being Grandma again! Babies are just the best, aren't they?

We are going again in November too - but we will miss each other again!! Darn it all!

You take care and have a great week!

I can't believe we are missing each other by just a few days....
Guess what, you really haven't missed much of anything, we've just been over here gabbing!

Went away for the weekend and I'm so far behind now. Love your sovie pictures. You always find the neatest stuff. I spent my last trip looking for those Mickey head key chains. I finally found them at the Poly then started seeing them everywhere.

Well thank you, I love to Disney shop! It just makes me happy!

Love the souvies... 'specially the pins!

How cool is the F&G pin with the "plantable card" attached?!!

Feel better... I'm looking forward to hearing more about the trip, esp now that I've seen all your loot!


Kathy

Isn't that plantable card a neat idea? I guess it's time to start writing about this trip....
If I don't get started it will be time to go back and I won't get this finished!

Congratulations on your new Grandbaby! Best wishes and prayers for you guys and Keeley!

I love absolutely all of those souvies! I want one of each too! Even the toys and pins! I definately want the handbag and Minnie garden statue! Very very very cute!

I really thought I was going to come home with a Mickey gnome, well until I saw Minnie. Then I just had to have her.
We are excited for a new baby in the family, can't wait to see what we are getting this time around!

I am so jealous of all your DVC stuff!! I am definately doing some serious shopping in July!! I absolutely LOVE the D&B purse! I have the original one and actually like yours better - I'll have to start working on hubby now to convince him I NEED another one

Congrats on your upcoming bundle of joy! I hope Keeley is feeling well!

I've seen some fb posts from Keeley saying that she is tired and sick to her stomach but she hasn't done much complaining to me. I think she isn't feeling so bad...
If you get over to the Beach Club marketplace you might be able to pick up some of the DVC stuff and grab an ice cream cone at Beaches and Cream too!
The good thing about the D&B was they aren't as expensive as the Sketch bags were. Good luck with DH!

I'm so happy they enjoyed the experience! Now tell me what did you think of those snacks?

YAY!!! We passed ROFR. We're new DVC members!

Welcome Home Shannon! I couldn't believe how long this whole thing was taking! When was it that you all wrote your contract? I know that they didn't get it sent off when they were supposed to but how long have you been waiting?

Well, just let me confess, we are a chatty bunch over here. I will get day one done soon. Real soon. I would love to say tomorrow night. It depends on how tired I am after school and what time my hair dresser arrives to do my hair since I am a one armed person for awhile....
Update this weekend for sure!

I second that, CP -- Laura is right, it is rather small, and while they did have some Disney merchandise, the selection was small -- well selective. So not sure what you had in mind, but in case, I too would take WigD up on her services!!! I got my little box too!!

Like I said, I'm a shopper!

I'm glad you like!!!!!

I may need to go get some wasabi peas right now too....

I have a can of wasabi peas sitting right here now! yummy!

I can't believe you're on page 32 without a real trip update! I'm waiting anxiously to hear about your first day, even though I already know some of what you did!

I'll just settle into my new chair with some to wait.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

I thought about updating tonight, then I thought about laying down and sleeping on the sofa. Guess what, I didn't do either!

 

[jillyb]

Here's the shirt:

 

[Charleston Princess]

I will definitely PM you my list when I get it together! You're the best!

By the way, it is KILLING me today not to have a Disney trip planned. I was trying to convince Charles to return to our original plans, but he wasn't cooperating.

What are your October dates? Do you have October dates yet?

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Here's the shirt:

Jill, that shirt is almost the same, but not exactly. I don't even want to tell you what I paid at Disney.... I did get an AP discount! You however got the deal of the century!

Oh Jackie, I'm sorry you are missing your trip this summer but HHI sounds heavenly to me...
We do have dates for October, a resort and plane tickets, just no okay from the principals.....
Yet.
I'll bet it's way to late for you though.

Oh, I have personal days. I want to go to Food and Wine -- more so when I found out today that it is the 15th anniversary of it and guess which anniversary it is for us...yep, our 15th.
