Clowning Around on the Boardwalk! A Wigdout Trip report

[vamassey1]

The crowds were huge entering DHS! Glad you got in and out. The views from BLT are amazing. It's really great you got to share this with another Diser. Great seats for the parade and not too crowded. Can't wait to hear about your dinner at Shula's. So we have to wait to find out what Marc ordered?

I know what Marc ordered at Shula's....

But I'm not telling!

Did you notice that the decor in the BLT accent pieces (wall hangings) matched your scarf? I am guessing that's part of why you liked it!

 

[stace208]

WOW! To both the crowd and the view!
I wanted to go to that DVC event but we couldn't squeeze it in on this short trip. Couldn't give up any park time. We will go next month if they are still doing it.
I still don't love the decor of BLT but that view is worth it, hands down!
I'm not sure if I missed it..will Julia still be working there at the end of June? I know there was talk of an extension or something??

Woo Hoo! I'm all caught up! That baby gorilla is soooo cute! She's almost 10 weeks old now! I was so excited to see her too!

WOOT!! Don't you just love a great Disney parade!!! So much fun!!!! I can't wait to see what happens at Shula's...yummy!!!! You know us Kansas people and our steak!!!!!

I find those crowds at DHS far scarier than the SciFi billboard, but poor Shocker being traumatized by the alien octopus!

I had to wipe the drool off my keyboard after looking at the Bay Lake photos! What a great view and what pretty rooms! I want to stay there now! I can't wait to hear about your time there for your birthday!

I'm pretty sure Beach Club has not reburbed the villa rooms so actually Boardwalk villas are much nicer...
If you aren't wanting to use Stormalong I'd stick with BWV...

Stormalong Bay is nice, but so is BWV!

I can't wait to see all the pics of the card carrying slushie lushie members!

I have to make my card!


I really like the D&B cruise bag....


I the new cruise bag! I asked my friend to get me one when she cruises in 2 weeks! I hope they have them!!! You'll have to get one next monthe on your cruise!!!


Did you happen to see the cruise D&B?

I love the view at BLT! AWESOME!!!! What kind of DVC event did you go to?

It was a DVC member preview event... where they took us all up to the Top of the World Lounge & tried to convince us to add on more points to our memberships. They also gave away a 3-night (I think) cruise on the Disney Dream next summer... none of us won.

That sounds like fun! Too bad you guys didn't win the cruise! How did you hear about the event?

We heard about it from wigd & shocker... but when we went down to sign up for the same event they were going to, we noticed the promotional sign right next to the DVC desk @ BWV.... and then noticed the same promotional sign at nearly every DVC desk/kiosk throughout WDW. It was actually pretty hard to NOT find out about it.

I guess I'll have to be on the lookout next time I go! I'm not sure yet when that will be. Hopefully, NYE??? or before who knows!

Yay, an update! Great pics. Can't wait to hear what Shocker did!

 

[IluvXU]

[WrightFamily06]

Helloooo there!
Oh my gosh...Julia is so adorable!!! I love her!!! It was so funny when I walked up to her because her nametag said Judi.....I asked her if she was Julia and she was too cute...she had forgotten her tag but I knew it was her! I saw her on my very last night and she really sprinkled some pixie dust on me.
That is a great picture of you on the bus Anita and funny of Shocker by Sci-Fi...poor thing
Okay....time to start planning the next trip....I HAVE to get some more use out of my AP (rather than just using it for frequent discounts in the parks )

Great updates. The view from BLT is divine. I dream about that tub, a glass of wine and a view of Wishes through that window. That's how the model was set-up and boy did it work its magic on me!

Can't wait to hear what Shocker decided on at Shula's!

 

[*dreamit*doit*]

That BLT view is amazing! It's pretty cool how you can see so far out and see all that yet-to-be-developed Disney land. The sandwiches and chocolate covered cheesecake lollipops look yummy!

Can't wait to hear about Shula's! We've never eaten at the one there, though I have eaten at the original one down here in South Florida. Good stuff!
