Resort Hoppin' with Wigd and Shocker! Contests!

[MEK]

Wigd - I was so excited to see an update!!!!!

Love Club Cool although one of the CM's there asked me why I was taking pictures of the merchandise???? I have never had that happen before and I was actually a little shocked.

OMG - those baby ducks are so cute, but sushi? come on!

Glad you got a BWI room that you really liked. Was that you first time there? Probably not, knowing you!

I love those teens that you took a picture of! They look like nice kids. Bet they didn't know they would part of your TR!

I'm so jealous of your upcoming trip. So many DISers are descending on the world!

 

[Native NYer]

Love the update!
Too funny that you have photos of the misbehaving kids
I agree with you about San Angel Inn. We ate their once and did not enjoy our meal at all. The atmosphere was great, the food not so much.
And the ducks are too cute! Sushi for ducks

I am cracking up over the pictures of misbehaving kids and smokers!

Glad you were able to just stay at the Boardwalk. It is just so pretty!

I have heard such mixed reviews of San Angel that I am always leery of trying it.

I definitely think you need the birthday hat -- how great would that be for the kids to wear on their birthday???

 

[jenjolt]

Loved the update!!

WOOT for not having to move again!!!

LOL...Anita I have the exact same Minnie Shirt LOL!!!!!

I always love a great DIS meet!!

 

[manntra]

This was an amusing update....pictures of CM's hogging cool air...misbehaving teens...illegal smokers...mellow yellow BTG's!!! You really nailed it all!!!

Glad you ended up staying at the BWV. All of your moving around was making me dizzy!!

The kids were jumping from wall to wall?!?! They aren't exactly close! They aren't horribly far away, but still...eek!! I'm sure that happens a LOT though. While we were there a kid was standing on the wall and trying to jump with the water spray so he would get hit. Thankfully he wasn't acting too roughly or anything.

What was your first view at BWV?

I've always wondered if the CMs thought anything of the merchandise photography.
Oh well, too bad for them if they do!

We had our first Boardwalk stay last Spring Break and had the most wonderful view of the pool. I think the only thing that could top it would be a Boardwalk view but we aren't willing to use the extra points for that so we are having a CM friend of ours work on getting us a nice view for our upcoming Halloween trip...

Those kids had no idea where that picture would show up!

Love the update!

Those kids and parents were just plain irritating!
No repeats on SAI for us...
We the Disney babies!

I wasn't really keen on going to SAI but thought why not....
Anyway we did and oh well....
I have it in my mind that I saw that birthday hat for 30% off a few trips ago, so waiting to see it at another great price!
We are looking forward to another Boardwalk stay very soon!

DIS meets are fun!!!
It really was nice to unpack for a few days and relax....
Same Minnie shirt? Great minds!

 

[MeMom]

You know MeMom is going to scold me when she gets back...

Well, she's back....
let the scolding begin!

You can see how my right ankle swells even in that picture.

Brooklynn was persuaded to have some Beverly but there was no trickery involved.

Let's just say there was bribery involved....

It was this!!!

John and Jill headed off to lunch, Memom took the girls to Pop to rest and swim (if I remember right) and the rest of us disbursed....

I had the chicken tortilla soup.

Brooklynn will do just about anything for candy or quarters. We have a little bit of fun with that.

I almost got chicken tortilla soup at Earl of Sandwich the other night, but I had to go for my very favorite Holiday Sandwich. The soup has been on my mind ever since, though, so I will have to make some soon.

Yes, that is the day Jill and John went to LeCellier and the girls and I went back to the room. You recall correctly. They said that meal there was much better than the first time we went. They got steaks the second time and said they were fabulous!

It was a bunch of moving and we were really wasting a half a day for each move so when we had the chance to stay put we did!
I think we have taken on part-time jobs as the DIS police.... we need to photograph the wrong doers and the odd balls!

The kids were jumping from wall to wall?!?! They aren't exactly close! They aren't horribly far away, but still...eek!! I'm sure that happens a LOT though. While we were there a kid was standing on the wall and trying to jump with the water spray so he would get hit. Thankfully he wasn't acting too roughly or anything.

What was your first view at BWV?

It just seemed like someone could slip and fall. I'm sure it's not a sanctioned activity for the walls there by the jumping water...

Our first view was the 2nd floor backside of the pool bar. (you could see nothing) It was a wheel chair room. Personally I don't like the showers in those rooms so we switched, although it was located very close to the lobby. That would have been quite convenient, but I didn't like the rest of the changes to the room...

Well, she's back....

I didn't notice any swelling so now I'm going back to inspect your ankle.
I hope EOS makes a better tortilla soup that SAI, I make mine with a chicken stock, this had a tomato base. Not so great...
Does your holiday sandwich have cranberries in it?

Chicken broth for me, too.

Yep - the one that has turkey, dressing, and cranberry sauce on that delicious Earl bread. It is so good. John likes it, too, but Jill thinks it is disgusting. I'll eat just about anything on Earl bread, but I like it when we are there during Holiday Sandwich times. I wish I could order Earl bread and have it sent to the house for the holidays!

 

[mareeld86]

Late entry but im here!

 

[dancin_princess]

I don't know why those CMs are not "stage-ready". Shame shame. Now see if I was a CM again, I would never be caught doing this.

 

[Happydog]

Oh nuts! I am sorry you didn't care for San Angels Inn! I must be the lone DISer who does!!

WHAT a shame that you didn't get a chance to stand in front of the AC!!!

Oh, and that is too funny about the smoking renegades and just not cool those kids who were playing on the fountains. I agree, where were the adults there? Photos are not more important than safety!

Glad you got settled at the boardwalk!

Hmmmm, not so sure about that cranberry sauce all mixed in with the rest. I wonder if they could leave that off.
I might have to mosey over there and ask if we make it to DTD this trip...

Late entry but im here!

I made it to your ptr too!

I don't know why those CMs are not "stage-ready". Shame shame. Now see if I was a CM again, I would never be caught doing this.

So sayin that you wouldn't be caught, is that the same as sayin that you wouldn't do it?

I don't think Marc had a bad meal, part of my problem was that I really wasn't hungry and I didn't want much to eat.

I wonder if people just think they pay so much for park entry that they are entitled to behave anyway they choose....

We were happy to call the Boardwalk home for the remainder of the trip!

 

[MeMom]

Have you talked to Trent about hooking up while you are there? I know he works about a thousand hours during the week, but I believe he has a little more free time and flexibility on the weekends.

 

[SoonerGirl]

Hey Anita, what are the dates again for your cruise next summer? We are looking hard at taking one in early June....

I need to send him a text and see what day works best for him...

Hey Anita, what are the dates again for your cruise next summer? We are looking hard at taking one in early June....

We are cruising on June 3, 4 nights on the Dream. I think you should look extra hard at going on THAT one! After the cruise we are spending 3 nights at Vero Beach! Then back home.

 

[uncw89]

How long is your trip this time? Have a great time! Then only 52 days til you're back again!(well less than that when you get back) How long is your Dec. trip?
I'm ready for my Dec. trip!
Have fun at Mickey's Not so scary! Have you ever done the party before? I've never been in Oct (Oh wait, I did go in Oct....way back in 1996, off site! I think that was my last off site stay!) Once you stay onsite, you're hooked. It was several years later on our first cruise, that I finally convinced DH to join DVC!!!!! Now, if I could convince him to add on.....

That IS the one we are going on!!! I haven't booked yet, still waiting on final pricing from my TA, but that's the one we're doing too. I'm super excited now

We're driving and are going to stop in Atlanta on the way so the boys can see a Braves game. I'm hoping to use Don's Hilton points to stay at the DTD hotel the night before the cruise. We'll spend the day at Kennedy Space Center the day the cruise gets back then jump in the car for our loooooong ride home.
