Trip Report **COMPLETED** A Boardwalk Babymoon

Hey guys! I have been back for awhile and to be honest I was not planning on writing a Trip Report because I have a lot going on right now. However, I was looking through all my pictures the other day feeling a little sad about not writing one. So...here we are! To be honest this was a long trip so this is probably going to take me forever to write (especially since I have a few trips coming up) :)

Ok...let's get down to it !

Who?
My Mom (Mary), my sister Jill and myself (Megan)
This is from our last trip together in Feb 2020

When?
May 20-30, 2021

Where?
Boardwalk Villas - staying on DVC points!

Why?
Jill and her husband Nick adopted a baby! If she is ok with it I will post a photo at some point of him. Funny enough we planned this trip before they got matched with a baby! They have been going through the adoption process for over a year and we thought it would give her a boost if we gifted her this trip! Literally like 2 weeks after we officially added her to the trip she got the call! It was perfect timing!! The baby was born just last week :) Also side note my Mom and I were supposed to be in Disneyland/on an Adventures by Disney tour this trip which is why it was so long :)

Day 1 - May 20, 2021
My Mom stayed at my house so we could drive ourselves to the airport instead of waking my Dad up super early on a Thursday.
We got up at 3:30 am, got ready and headed out the door!
We made it to the airport and found the best parking spot! I was so happy ! It was our first time driving ourselves to the airport :hilarious:
I avoided an overweight suitcase thanks to a home scale so.....phew!
Took some photos when we got there!

Oh I should mention that Jill came a few days later!
We were starving so we tried to rope drop our usual breakfast place...

But...it was supposed to open at 5 and it did not so we ended up eating cookies and licorice :hilarious::hilarious:

Those drinks all sound delicious and refreshing! Love Jill's Hat!

We are making a set of cornhole boards and are doing Bills/Sabres...now I kind of want to make another set and theme them after Disney Resorts. 🤔

You gals always have the cutest dresses for dinners! ☺️

Her hat is limited edition from New Era!
You guys make cornhole boards?! So cool!
And thank you!

I took a photo of the drink menu because I keep trying to make a Blueberry Lemon Drop Martini at home and it never tastes as good.

Speaking of Blueberry Lemon Drop Martinis....
My Mom and I both had one!

And Jill had a Mai Tai

Day 4 continued
For appetizers Jill and my Mom ordered the Roasted Squash Soup (Roasted Squash, Maple Biscotti, Whipped Brie and Candied Hazelnuts)
tempImagexVbg0N.jpg

And I got the Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli
tempImage9fbqKR.jpg

For entrees we all ordered the Oak Fired Filet of Beef. My Mom wanted the scallops but chef would not serve them because he did not like the quality.
tempImageQCny26.jpg

YUM!
So good!
Then the surprise cake came out! And the THE was normal :hilarious:
tempImageepr2y9.jpg

Jill was so surprised ! It was delicious too - chocolate with whipped cream frosting!

The waiter brought us over some Champagne to celebrate (although I feel like he was confused about who/what was being adopted 🤣 ).

We went on the balcony to look at the sunset after dinner.

SOMEDAY, I WILL order this there! Of course, I have to actually make a CG ressie to do it. Maybe on our trip in Nov....Fingers crossed!
YUM!
So good!

What a fantastic cake! Looks delish and I'm so glad she was touched and surprised!

I am eager to read what you write when you get back! Have a magical time!

We went to the California Grill on the Fourth of July and the Blueberry Lemon Drop martini was not on the menu. I asked if it could still be made. Sadly it could not. I ended up with a yummy strawberry cocktail with Tajin seasoning, which sounds weird but was really good.

It was not on the menu when we went there either :cry:

Love the cake and Jill looks so happy! You all do!!

The cake was so good too!

We stopped at the Boardwalk Bakery and got some treats!
I got a brownie which I did not take a photo of because I eat it all the time!
I can't remember who had what but we also got cookies and a croissant

I got this new Gimble to film things with and I kept taking accidental photos with it :hilarious:

I do not really love pizza (except for Via Napoli) so I got Mac and cheese. For some reason they gave me two!
tempImageUZJ9h0.jpg

Mobile ordering always makes me over order so naturally I also ordered an Antipasto salad and baby bell cheese (and the kids meal Mac and cheese sides) :joyfull:
tempImagerWq7FI.jpg

tempImageYU6xB8.jpg

Yum! Everything was really good!
tempImage96r9E6.jpg

After this Jill suggested we ride Toy Story Mania so we headed over there.
