Clowning Around on the Boardwalk! A Wigdout Trip report

[Mndisneygirl]

Is Remy only at lunch? We have a dinner ADR at 6 pm.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Congrats to your daughter! That's awesome!!!

Memom, We've only eaten there for lunch, the lunch prices aren't too bad.

She must be quite the student!
Seeing Remy is really fun!

That's probably what we will do, too. I'm thinking next spring, when it's just me, the girls, and our friend, that will be a good time to give it a try. Then if we like it, we can take the guys back on one of the all-family trips.




Good morning, Miss Anita Wigd, who did not spend any money on purses this weekend!

Good morning, Mr. Shocker, happy husband because Wigd did not spend money on purses.

It was just fun looking!
Good night it's late now.....

Anita, Is Dave's site for renting points safe? We may need to either rent (or add on) points before our August 2011 trip. As of right now, we have 12 people. And staying in one villa together is just not going to happen



I RF. One trip costs me though





Oh you definitely need to visit. Plus, there are lots of other tempting shops

I'm thinking that Dave's site is a good one since they advertise here on the DIS...
I wouldn't hesitate to use them if we needed to rent some points.

You are a couple of great photographers! My daughter is soooo looking forward to seeing that fairy garden. It looks just beautiful. 4 days!!!

Thanks, can you believe, it's almost 3 days now?!?

I know I was looking so forward to experiencing the Magic , like you said though I guess it's not meant to be

I totally agree F&G should def be longer , with the Florida weather they def could do it longer !

Awe I think visiting with any part of anyone's family can be quite exhausting , so rest up after your visit and I'll be looking forward to that update whenever you get to it

If you get a minute go over and checkout my pre-trip report I would love your input , link is in my signature Have a great Monday

I'm going to come over and subscribe to your ptr in just a minute! In the past F&G was still going when we got down there after school was out the end of May, so I just don't get it. They really are wrapping it up early this year.

I'm really proud of the hard work she's put in, especially since when she was in kindergarten and first grade she needed special tutoring for reading and math because she couldn't recognize most of her letters and numbers. This year she took AP physics because regular physics was "so easy it's boring".

It just tells you that just because she got off to a "rocky" start didn't mean she wasn't a smart girl. She just needed some time!
What a wonderful success she is!

Great updates and great pics! I can't wait to go!

I can't wait for Chefs now!! The food looked great, the waiter - ehh. I hope Remy is still there in the summer my kids will be surprised - I did not let them know just in case he is a no show! You know how rats can be !

Will you be taking orders for D&B on the cruise - I may need one of those too!

I am soo happy I am in double digits YAHOO!

My 9yo dd has the VB bug sooo bad - everytime we see someone with one she freaks out! I hope she can wait till her birthday - I did get her a Maggie - any chance I can borrow it??

So when is your birthday? Mine is July 7th - sounds like we are close!

My birthday is on July 5th! So if we get the Grand Villa on the night of the 4th it will really be a birthday celebration for me too.
Let me know about the D&B I can do cruise shopping for you if you want one!

Got my PTR for my July trip started! Come on over - the link is in my siggie!

Already been there, thanks for the heads up!

I did not realize Remy was still making an appearance. I hope it was not just for Spring Break crowds. My DH probably will not get so excited over this but I would love to see him.


addictedtothemouse-You must be so proud of your DD I would be bragging also!!! I am lucky my DS's both do really good in school but to be ranked 2nd in the whole class is such an acomplishment!!

Remy, at Chefs is amazing, if you get the chance try to get there!

I agree, 2nd in your graduating class is quite an accomplishment! Way to go!

We have only seen Remy at lunch, you might want to go earlier...

 

[MHTeacher]

They were staying at Beach Club so we went to the private entrance.

I can't wait to use my private entrance in 33 days!

You will love it, it's never busy at all!

Hey Wigd!!

Long time, no chat!

We are heading back to BWV in October. Thanks for the Branson travel tip, I'll have to keep that in mind. Couldn't find a good rate out of Wichipoo for this trip, so I am booked on Southwest out of KC instead.

Love your topiary pics!

 

[vamassey1]

I didn't get on this weekend so I was so far behind. Loved the update. Lots of great pictures and a Dis Meet. We love going to Memom's secret place too. I have lots of pictures from our Feb trip.

So a grand villa on your birthday????? How cool would that be! Now I know why you are adding contracts left and right. I am so envious. You definately deserve a big blow-out for your birthday!

I think I am going to check those resale contracts again today. Everytime I come to your TR I think ...."must.... have.... more.....points".

 

[Mndisneygirl]

DVC question -
When you add contracts and thus have more points, are there any restrictions on their use? By that I mean could you for example, take your first 200 pt contract from BCV and a 100 pt contract at AKV and use 300 pts wherever (assuming you're within the booking time)?
Just curious.
TIA

If you are wise enough to add on to the correct use year (month) then all the points are combined!


Oh, Wigd, will have a small announcement about the Vero Beach contract this afternoon/evening.....I think.​

I wondered how that worked. I thought it would be confusing if you had different use years!

Thank you oh wise one! (I am assuming you are wise enough)
And oh goody - an announcement!

 

[praisehisname]

I can't believe I'm just now finding your report! Although...60 pages in and I really didn't miss too much!

Hey, how in the world are you?
We were out at Kay Wiggins just Saturday and she doesn't carry Vera Bradley any longer!!!
Anyhoo, just thought I'd tell you we were out in your part of the county.
Also, listen to this....
we got non stop flights out of doodah this summer, can you believe that? Plus not a bad price!

You all are going to love the refurb at Boardwalk, what are your dates? We are going the very, very end of the month and staying there too.
Since flying out of Branson over spring break we can't get a decent fare out of the place.

I didn't get on this weekend so I was so far behind. Loved the update. Lots of great pictures and a Dis Meet. We love going to Memom's secret place too. I have lots of pictures from our Feb trip.

That secret place is such a great niche! I hope it gets back to normal one of these days...
So what were you busy doing all weekend, something fun?

DVC question -

Just curious.
TIA

If your points are in the same use year, and make sure they are....
you can just use them, if you are within your booking window.
Plus, Sunday evenings is DVC chat on the DIS chat, great time to come in with DVC questions.

Just what Shocker said.

She will?

I wondered how that worked. I thought it would be confusing if you had different use years!

Actually different use years is more like a night mare, we have two small contracts with that very problem....

Thank you oh wise one! (I am assuming you are wise enough)
And oh goody - an announcement!

He is wise, because we have learned from our mistakes!

I can't believe I'm just now finding your report! Although...60 pages in and I really didn't miss too much!

So glad you found us!
Just a couple of days behind, you know how chatty we are.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

We got the email from Timeshare Store today and yes Disney waved us on through sooooo
The contract is ours!

WE PASSED!

The closing documents will be emailed to us this week and we will fax the funds to them and we will own 150 points at Vero Beach!

I imagine we won't actually go to Vero until next summer but we can't wait!

If anyone is curious here are the specifics....

150 VB (Feb. U Y) $50, 150 banked '09 pts, all '10 pts

So yes, the plotting and planning continues.
Stay tuned.

 

[stace208]

Woohoo for passing ROFR!
Can't wait to hear what comes from the plotting!

Oh I know the last time I went in there to find some VB, they had very little inventory. However, I did get a linky from VB on FB and got a fab discount. So, I picked up the Mod Floral Pink in the Stephanie and the Mini Hipster, with a matching All-In-One Wristlet online. With free shipping, it was like getting the Hipster for free!!

Hey look me up on FB, I'll PM ya.

Oh an congrats on the add-onitis!

 

[Happydog]

MY goodness HOW exciting!! Let the plotting begin! (or Continue ... )

 

[michellem1118]

Yay for the new contract at Vero Beach! I can't wait to see what becomes of the plotting!

 

[nowellsl]

Congratulations on the new contract! So, can you use Vero points to book at WDW? Just curious how that works!
