Clowning Around on the Boardwalk! A Wigdout Trip report

[praisehisname]

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

 

[Mndisneygirl]

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!

 

[tlenzendorf]

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

 

[Native NYer]

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

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...

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.

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.

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

 

[stace208]

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!

 

[MaryAz]

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

 

[Charleston Princess]

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!

 

[javamom]

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

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!

Not a problem at all, always feel free to ask any question, someone will try to answer it!
Also you can go into DIS chat in the evening. They can help!
The moderators are there around 8:00 p.m. central time.
As for Vera, if they had a frill in a hipster, I'd be all over that.


I'm looking forward to the DVC party! Hopefully we will win something, that's the only way we will walk out of there with anything unless they are giving something away.
No add-on during the cruise!

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

I think I am going to meet with my guide when we go in 9 days! She said there are some good incentives for add-ons for people who are staying onsite. She wouldn't say what. Apparently you have to BE on site to get this incentive. She actually called me the other night. Must have known we were coming to visit. Anyway - now I am curious, so I think I might have to stop by for those FP's and to get the scoop. She said they are buying back a lot of beach club contracts right now, so 100 pts at the BC is not out of the question.

Can't wiat to hear the incentives!

Right now they're still giving out the code for 50% off the CD if you are within your 45 day window. Then you apply that to the $99 offer and folks are getting the CD for $49!!! I sure wish I was in my 45 day window. I'm sure this loophole will be closed soon...

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

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.

 

[kschafer]

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!

 

[njtinkmom]

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!

We had never been back on those trails during March before so I didn't know those were orange trees.
They looked just right for eating!
I didn't get any Disney Cookware!
Shocker was just being silly as usual!
More update coming up!

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 !

 

[Sooze]

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!

 

[MEK]

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.
