[padisneyfour]

Ah, how did I miss it? Happy Belated Vow Renewal day and I'm so glad to hear it was beyond anything you even dreamed of. I'm really looking forward to hearing all about it!

Thank you! IT was a truly amazing and magical adventure/experience for everyone! from our arrival to the time we left- a few minor bumps(nothing connected with disney wedding and all easily corrected)
I hoped for the best but tried to be realistic but in the end everything really exceeded anything I hoped.
our guests included some that have been to disney, some first timers to disney. a few doubters and even cast members but in the end all were WOWED! I heard it so many, many times! It truly was a magical experience for all!

[amyy]

I am so glad you had such a magical experience like the rest of us. It is hard to put into words and I just so can't wait for a VR someday :) Can't wait to see pictures and hear details.

[padisneyfour]

Thank you! It was truly a wonderful and magical experience and feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to have a VR at Disney!I am working on organizing things and wil post more soon.....

before I start the actually TR/ vendor reviews etc. I wanted to share some of the things I am glad we did......

1. the glass slipper sorbet-everyone was so wowed by this. This was something I added late to meet min but I am so glad I did, my planner even made sure I knew that because of the windows in the napa room and being mid day the glow effect might not be what I hoped, but IT was.... the wait staff lowered the blinds and dimmed the lights and I had recorded biddi boddi boo( sp?) to be played when it was served - let me tell you it was amazing!!!!! my sister in law first thought it was something special just for us but when everyone got one she was awed! she cried and said it was so beautiful! she was someone who never even wanted to come to disney!:goodvibes this def screamed disney and was so beautiful!

2. the caricature artist! he was amazing! he did b/w drawings for all our guests some had family as well as individual. my mom got one of herself and then one with her five grandchildren! they were wonderful! he used disney characters/ rides and iconic images (castle etc) EVERYONE LOVED HIM. I had requested tubes for the drawings which were nice for those that had more than one drawing! def another unique experience that I am so glad we included. everyone got something to take home!

3. Goofy! This was a HTH for DH! he took pics with all our guests, signed special autograph cards I had made and signed our guestbook! he was wonderful with all the guests . my mom even asked , if I knew he was coming.....:) he helped with our cake cutting and then did pics. totally worth $ priceless one on one time!


4. Dessert Party. this was something from the beginning I wanted and am so I glad we did, it was a beautiful end to an amazing day. we had basic menu, add rice crispy mickeys and glow cubes for drinks. I brought glow necklaces and bracelets, used standard epcot dark linens. only decor was gel cylinders from ceremony with glow cubes added but it was so pretty! seeing all the colors lit up! several of our guests commented on how pretty it was to see all the colors!


more to come!!!!:goodvibes

wrapping up trip/misc pics.....

the next morning we headed to MK( via boat) from WL! It was a nice change from the buses..... once at MK we met up with DDs did alitlte window shopping and then headed to our breakfast ressie at crystal palace( one of our favorites). after breakfast we met up with my girlfriend, did some rides and then of course more shopping. I splurged on a blue DB wristlet. ( I love it).

That night randy and I had special dinner at Tonys for just us... we had never eaten here before but I wanted to try it.....
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/0716102125.jpg


saturday came all to soon.... everyone was leaving..... after packing up and doing airline check in everyone headed to DTD for the last hurrah! everyone wanted a few last minutes items to take home!

we had lunch at earl of sandwich, walked around the shops and then about 3:30 headed back over to SSR to board ME and say goodbye one more time!

This truly was a magical trip for us and our family in many ways, yes it was costly and for some people it would be something they would ever even consider but the memories we have made, shared and brought home with us ( and will have forever) are ones of family , friends and fun in a truly magical place!
yes we will go back and so will many (if not all) of our guests but the memories from this trip will last forever- a once in a lifetime adventure for so many! If I had been asked twenty years ago when we arrived at WDW on our HM if this was possible , I would have smiled and said not in my wildest dreams..... but dreams can come true!

Have pics yet to add, more to come....

[padisneyfour]

Its been over a week , and I wanted to give myself time to collect my thoughts about everything before posting reviews. I am not going to give letter grades because I truly feel everyone and I mean everyone did their job very well! everything was beyond what we imagined and everyone deserves credit!

DFTW-
Pam was coordinator- she was very helpful. i had alot of questions and she always responded quickly and provided information she could. Pam was very helpful is choosing our reception site. I had never really considered the napa room before she suggested it but it was the right choice for us!

Meri was our planner. I was so happy with her and her assistant (Alix) they truly made alot of things very easy, esp. when we had changes and then when we got our rooms bumped to SSR. meri always responded quickly to any questions and gave suggestions as I needed. She is just a very nice person too. I know its her job but she does it well. I am glad we had the opportunity to work with meri!

Elizabeth from floral was great. we didn't have alot of floral but what we did was perfect. whenever I called her she responded quickly. I gave her color names of BM dresses and she matched ribbons in the WP perfectly! everything at the reception was perfect! I gave our reception things to meri on tuesday with notes about where/how everything should be and it was exactly where it should have been. nothing was out of place.

Kristen handled our room block. Originally most of our guests had booked their rooms outside the room block because we were able to get a great rate but when we were offered the upgrade from the ASM to 1 bd. villas at SSR there was no comparison. I spoke with her several times near the end when we got upgraded to SSR and she responded quickly to any questions concerns I had....she really made it easy as we were switching 7 rooms in matter of a few days..... alittle stress there getting in touch with everyone etc but in the end it all worked out for the best! everyone really liked the SSR there was just so much more room and the kitchen too!


Patricia Le Jeune -hair/makeup
her and her staff showed up promptly at 5:30 and worked diligently to have hair and makeup for 3 done by 8:00 limo was picking us up at 8:30. We were ready slightly ahead of time! Patricia is a def professional and worked effortlessly while making it easy to sit and chat. she is funny and very pleasant. I don't wear alot of makeup normally and was pleased with Patricia. she listened to me and my ideas and did what I requested. Neither DD really had any idea how they wanted their hair, she talked with them and was very caring about applying their makeup and doing their hair. My hair lasted.... all day and for the next morning photo shoot. And let me tell you it was warm. when I finally took it out my Dh thought it would be nice to have an after pic-maybe I will post later.....it was a quite sight. there were six spiral jewels, 27 bobby pins and one well tied hair band! I am not young( married twenty years ago) but I feel Patricia did a good job, I felt like I looked nice and thats all I wanted. I was very happy with how both DDs looked. ( they are both dancers/performers and are used to wearing heavier stage makeup but thats not what I wanted for this day).
I went back and fourth alot on whether to spend the money to have hair/makeup done, but in the end I am glad I did! I would highly recommend Patricia and her staff!


Photography
Randy Chapman
He was our choice from the beginning. I booked him even before we actually got our date..... he is nice and very easy to work with . at our wedding our photographer had double booked himself, though we got the pictures we wanted it was stressful, so photography was a big deal for me and after talking with Randy and seeing his work I was very comfortable with him as a professional. I wasn't disappointed. Randy is def a professional and does his job well! I am looking forward to getting the pics.....We aren't big pic people but wanted specific things and Randy basically knew all the details we wanted without us having to tell him.... he was great with goofy and guests at the reception.He made sure every family got a picture with goofy. That was important to us! He even helped setup some shots with positioning cake table and making suggestions for pics with goofy etc...

Ceremony
Rev Kevin Knox
He again was our choice early on and always responded to emails quickly. He was helpful in arranging ceremony in they way we wanted. he followed ceremony perfectly. He was prompt and friendly. even when DH thought he had forgotten the final payment at the ceremony, he was ok with that and said we could send it to him( dh did find it then but a few uncomfortable moments). made everything easy and gave cues as needed during ceremony.....

Napa Room Staff

I don't know their names, but the two gentlemen we wonderful! Everything was very well presented . when I asked about something, it was already done or on the way....we requested extra bags at the end to pack things up and they got those for us. awesome food and service!

DPS for MK/Epcot shoot
I was pleasantly/happily surprised. Our photographer was Joe( I had requested a specific photographer, but I know that is not a given which is fine) Joe was very nice ,very professional, friendly and very attentive. he called the morning of the shoot sort of like a "wake up call" and arrived promptly in the porticio of WL. we went to MK first and then epcot. we were picked up a 5:30 a.m. and returned to resort just before 9:00- so it was a long amount of time. he had suggestions, listened and went to locations we requested -what more could you ask....it was a very special and unique experience and in retro spect I can't imagine not doing a photo shoot. I had struggled with the cost but when DH didn't even hesitate that pretty made the decision. I am very pleased with our pictures and Have received alot of compliments on them. we will have them to enjoy for a lifetime!

[padisneyfour]

a few Final thoughts....
Final thoughts.... basically my final thoughts are that yeah this was a something we didn't need to do
(after all we were already married and had been for twenty years) but am I glad we did? YES!
twenty years ago we had a wonderful wedding, but the VR was about us ,our family now and how much disney is a part of our lives! we aren't rich but we enjoy our disney trips together. Its our family vacation spot. we have shared so many vacations and memories at disney it was the only choice for us!
would we do it again .... YES in a heart beat! DH too!
was it hard planning....I love planning so no ,were there times I felt like why I am doing this... yes but in the end I wouldn't have had it any other way.

would I change anything..... NO. there was nothing I would change because everything we planned and did had meaning for us and it all came together better than we imagined....
It would have been nice not to have 102 degree heat index, but it was july...

will our dd have a disney wedding..... if they want (I hope at least one does...)

I feel very lucky to had had the opportunity to have a VR at disney and have shared it with so many of family and friends! It truly was a magical day for us! family, friends and fun--thats what it was all about!:goodvibes

For anyone considering it for a wedding or VR I can't imagine a better place. good luck to all those planning and truly hope everyone has their dream day! WE DID!:goodvibes

Thank you for following along on this magical journey! more pics to come....

[pezaddict231]

Wow, that was quick! Everything looks great and it looks like you had an amazing day. I love the part about your SIL and the slipper, it's really nice to see that even the skeptics felt the magic in the end ;).

The fireworks pics are pretty and very cool that you saw a double rainbow. BTW have you seen or heard the youtube video of the guy that lives out in the wilderness and saw a double rainbow? I heard it on the radio and it's really something else, he is super enthusiastic about the double rainbow, it's a little funny.

Tammy ~ First, congratulations, it looks like you had a beautiful VR! I saw you were back earlier this week and then was so busy and just got a chance to come to the board. I came to your TR first and I was surprised to see I was able to read your whole report all at once. It was so nice to see a great overview already :thumbsup2

Let's see - I love how you were able to have so much time with family from the breakfast at O'hanas to the welcome party at the pool. I am sure your guests had a wonderful time. Also, I love seeing pictures of the tea. We did the same menu and everyone loved it. It is such a fun experience for people to have at Disney.

Your flowers were beautiful and I loved the parasols for the girls. I am sure Randy got some cute shots with them. That is so nice that you were able to have Randy (photographer) take her senior pictures too, how special to have them at Disney!

:bride::groom: You and Randy looked so happy coming into the wedding pavilion, it looks like your day really was a dream come true. I had forgotten you got pictures at Epcot too, I can't wait to see everything from your shoot!

I thought it was so touching what your sister-in-law (I think it was her) said about the slippers. We had a lot of naysayers about Disney who ended up saying how they loved everything at our wedding. Its amazing what a little pixie dust can do to people pixiedust:

The caricatures and Goofy looked like they were big hits at the reception :goofy: The cake was super cute too, it reminds me of the University of Michigan colors (maize & blue: where DH and I met) so I am even more partial to it! It looked like they did a great spread with the sandwich items and salads at the reception. Also, the DP desserts looked extra yummy too!

I would love to hear even more about your trip. I am so happy that you received the nice room upgrades. What a great surprise at WL! :yay:

Vanessa, Thank you for reading....:goodvibes we did have a great trip and wonderful VR. I was pleased with the flowers in the end, I had changed/rearranged them many times.
There were so many good things about this trip but most importantly we were able to share it with our family and friends- and everyone enjoyed it.... that made it all the more special for us.
The cake colors are our college colors ( where we met too) . goofy and the caricature artist were both big hits at the reception- I am not sure how long goofy was actually there but I am sure it was longer than he was scheduled. I remember Meri motioning with her hand it was time to eat.... the WL lodge upgrade was very nice surprise for us as was the upgrade from asm to SSR for everyone! I am working on pics and I do have more to share including pool party,chef mickey, dp, ceremony and other misc ones so there is def more coming.....along with professional ones....:goodvibes

[erin.w]

I really enjoyed your review and photos of you VR! Sounds like everyone had a great time, which is what it's all about in the end!

If you don't mind me asking, how much was the DP menu? Did you serve alcohol at it? This is on area I'm having trouble planning, and would appreciate some input! Thanks for sharing!

Erin, Hi! thanks for reading. :goodvibes I will check on the DP menu price and let you know.... we added two dozen mickey rice crispy treats(they come per dozen if I am remembering correctly) which increased the price and we didn't serve alcohol just the punch, tea water etc.... truthfully I don't think anyone missed it.... most people drank punch and/ or water.....:goodvibes

Erin, hi! thanks for reading. Our dp menu was the classic menu and we added the rice crispy treats as an add on at our PS that I planned on cutting if needed, but didn't need to. everyone really enjoyed them too so I was glad we kept them! I sent you a pm too!;)

[CinderelliT]

Everything looks amazing! You look stunning and so does everyone in your VR party. I LOVE the slipper sorbet. I am so glad for you that everything went so well. I can't wait to see more pics and especially to see Randy's pics of you guys!

Congratulations!

I love the ceremony pictures! It looks like you had a really lovely day! The sand ceremony colours are great too, I love it!

[padisneyfour]

Lovely!!!

Thank you!:goodvibes

I love the ceremony pictures! It looks like you had a really lovely day! The sand ceremony colours are great too, I love it!

Thanks! I debated about sand colors for awhile, because if we used bday stone colors there would have been white, white, red and blue so finally decided on mickey colors with white and black being foundation( dh and I ) and dds being red and yellow( yellow was spring bday and red was winter bday) It really did makes sense.....:rotfl:

Tanya, thank you and thanks for reading I am waiting on some more pics yet. the sand ceremony we used wasn't what I had planned I have an hourglass for the sand at home, but I worried about transporting it to and from so this "quasi" set we used was easier and cheaper to replace if something happened:goodvibes, It was actually just a jar from the craft store and four bud vases that I personalized with letters and the mickey stickers...there is more coming I promise. thanks for following along!

It was so nice to see more pictures of the ceremony. I love how everything came together and the sand ceremony set-up was super cute! ::MickeyMo The slipper was so beautiful, definitely a great last minute addition. I know some of the tihngs I added at the end for our wedding were my favorites too, its funny how things always come together at the end.

Your pictures look wonderful! What a nice day you had.

[tinkerbell 766]

Beautiful Tammy!!! Makes me so glad we have Randy photographing our VR!!! Looks like you had a very sunny day.

[CinderelliT]

Beautiful! I love these. Randy did a great job. My favorites are the ones with the petal toss. He got that just right. And also the one with you guys kissing on the bridge to the WP.

It looks like you had great fun.

Great pictures Tammy :goodvibes

Everything looks fantastic!

[figmentfan814]

Tammy, I love all your photos. The ones on the beach and with the fountain are some of my favorites. The reflection shot of the girls in the water is so cute and I love some of the sassy shots with the sunglasses and parasols! I like some of the ones of you and Randy that are more casual with his jacket off. I just love how all your colors and everything came together, so beautiful!

[chryscrazy]

I love the pic with the two of you in the WP looking through the cracked doors. I don't think I've seen another one like that.

[brer rabbit 28]

Wonderful pics Tammy. I bet you're spoilt for choice trying to decide which ones to frame.
