I agree. There was definitely some cuteness overload going in your pictures! Those children are all adorable. I am sure Anita and Mark enjoyed every minute (well, almost every minute).
You have me curious about Squid Lips. I think Cynthia ate there and enjoyed it. I've heard a lot about it but we never got there when we visited Vero.
I think they enjoyed the kids being around, but I imagine they liked their silent time, too.
I had a good fish sandwich at Squid Lips. Anita took a picture of it and put it on FB, because the fish was way bigger than the bread.
We are back from Pop and back to the real world all too soon. I got most of my pictures loaded last night so I will probably put up a mini trip report sometime today. I'll keep you posted. It's also time to update my ticker for our September trip.
I am thinking of Brooklyn and Jill today!
I look forward to seeing Pop pictures when I can be on the DIS for any length of time.
Hi ClaireW new to posting here so hope I'm doing it correctly. Grew up in S Carolina and know the coast well. I would avoid Myrtle Beach it is not what it used to be!! Love both Charleston and Hilton Head. In Charleston you will find lovely historical homes and tours, wonderful restaurants. If you stay in town parking is at a minimum so always a charge and lots of walking. The beaches are out from town so you either drive into town from the beach or out to the islands from town. You could choose a resort like Kiawah island or Wild Dunes on Isle of Palms, or go completely laid back with only beach and a few restaurants by renting house on Edistio Island. Depending on where you stay your drive to DT Charleston 20-60min. I think everyone should experience Charleston! It's a wonderful city!
Hilton Head is quiet, lots of different resorts and beautiful beaches. Lots of wonderful restaurants! I vacation here at Palmetto Dunes or Island Club. Many of the resorts are not near the beach but focused around golf or tennis. If being close to the beach is what you would like be sure to check how far it is or if there is a shuttle. If you want city and historic you can day trip Charleston (2hrs) or to Savannah,GA. (1hr)
Ive spent lots of time in each and love both, each has its own unique offerings, can't go wrong with either. Hope this helps. And I know they will enjoy SC
Thanks for the help for all fellow DIS friends who will be going that way someday. We want to visit both Charleston and Savannah one of these days.
I am all caught up!
The Jasmine statue does have an oddly long nose.
I would have chosen the sewing service, the poppins penguin, or the haunted mansion magnet.
I love the Magic Kingdom window displays!
I am a little bothered why they didn't put Epcot after the Magic Kingdom. Wonder why...
Love the AoA waffles. They look so yummy! Disney waffles are the best!
Out of the two bags, I like the pink one better but they're both super cute!
Thats nice of someone to send you a gift. I love how people carry on the Disney magic
I love those Precious Moments especially the Merida. Her hair is amazing.
Good luck with your new job ( I would want extra Disney $$$ too) and heading back to school
Looks like the girls had fun at AoA. I agree, it's comforting staying on Disney property and not doing any park thank staying offsite and doing the parks.
Love the Vero hotel pictures! It looks like a beautiful resort.
Happy that Cara's surgery went well. Praying for a speedy recovery.
Love the towel creation. I don't remember ever getting one of those when we stayed at Disney. They look really cute though.
Looks like you had a fun first day at the ocean
I would have chosen to design the Ice Cream Cone.
Praying for Brooklyn for a safe surgery and speedy recovery.
Disney property is home to us. Even if we were doing only 'other' parks and things out in Orlando and the Central Florida area, we would still stay at a Disney hotel.
Vero was lovely. I have recently looked at some more pictures of Disney's Hilton Head Island Resort. It's nice, too. Wonder when there will be a Disney's Nashville Resort with a country music theme?
Maybe add a couple of rides and a handful of activities....I think my crew would enjoy that.
I wonder is
Anita and
Marc would buy DVC points for Nashville use???
What a fun update. Those girls are just so cute and so photogenic. Love the craft pictures and how intent they were on their project.
Keeping Brooklyn in my thoughts and prayers and will be sending her a little "cheer up" from Disney when we get there over the weekend.
You are so lucky to be almost on your way!!!
I forgot to mention that a tie-dye party at Pop sounds fun!
And if I was in charge of children activities at Disney they would be very organized.
I think you should try your hand at that job. Maybe you could do it on a
Disney Cruise Line? Would you be interested in that? Wonder how much time you get at home between cruises?
Love the little pre-surgery smile! So glad she came through it all okay. Hoping for a quick recovery!
Tell Brooklyn she should get lots of attention from the boys with that fashionable footwear. I KNOW she will love hearing that!
Maybe some of her little boyfriends can push her around in her wheelchair when she goes back to school.
I am keeping sweet Brooklynn in my thoughts for a speedy recovery to her surgery today. Pixie Dust Away!!
Thinking of Brooklynn this morning. Please keep us posted.
Keeping Brooklynn in my thoughts and prayers. Praying for everyone else too. Jill, John, the girls, doctors, nurses and anyone else involved.
Memom a special prayer for you while you are further away than you would like to be at this time.
Thoughts and prayers for Jill and Brooklynn this morning!
Keeping Brooklynn and Jill in my thoughts and prayers
Sending good thoughts to Brooklyn and all her family today!
Jill in CO
Hope everything goes as planed today.
Praying for sweet Brooklyn! I've been thinking about her today & hope she has an easy recovery!
Thoughts and prayers for the family today. Prayers for a smooth recovery.
Joining in. Hope Brooklyn recovers fast
Foot surgery is very painful. Tomorrow will be her worst day, I think. I hope she heals up fast !!
Susan
So glad it went well! I hope Brooklynn feels as little pain as possible, poor thing.
By the way, her haircut is so cute!
Happy that Brooklyn's surgery went well! Hope she gets better fast!
I'm so glad everything went well & she's on the mend!
I'm glad to hear she is on the mend.
Didn't realize she was having surgery on both feet!! What was wrong??? Pixie dust for a speedy recovery!
I hope Brooklynn is have a good day. Her casts are so lovely. I love bright colors.
So glad to see Brooklynn did well (2 surgeries?!?) and is doing okay. Of course now she has something different for her Disney friends to sign!
Glad the surgeries went well! Hope she has a smooth recovery from here!
Hope everything continues to go well for Brooklynn's recovery!! I love that she had an animal friend with her.
Thanks to everyone for your concern. Jill says she's been relatively pain-free. She has to push her to walk a little, because Brooklynn is a bit hesitant as of yet. Brook wants to go to school, so I guess she will be heading back in a wheel chair in a day or two. That's about all I know. I have only talked to her for a couple of minutes today. Unfortunately, I got a new student today, and he has already caused disruption in three classes, seen the principal twice, and ended up going home early. Pray for me!!!
Hoping for a quick recovery!
