Ok so I am going to work on my Day 2 update now!!! Just to let you all know, as I do my update I am watching 101 Dalmataions! I havent seen that movie in a long time and we used to have a dalmation when I was young named Nala!

I forgot to mention I collect Disney Pins!!! Do I have any pin collectors here??!?!?!?

Day 2!

Ok so here is Day 2!

So after a fun night on Day 1! We got some rest and I enjoyed waking up in the GF! I think by staying there included in the price is magical dreams haha



I woke up earlier than the rest of my family so I could go visit my beautiful pup Dixie at the Kennel! I went to visit her and she was happy with lots of licks and hugs!
After my visit, I headed back to the GF and met my family at Francs! My sister and parents went there to drop off the wedding favors and extra wedding accesories for the big day! I took some pictures while they chit chatted business!

I really like these centerpieces! just an idea for my future wedding haha



Check out this HUGE cake, im pretty sure its a replica!

Trust me, my fingers were tempted to try and lick the frosting haha!

Pretty bridal gown!
Everything is just so elegant at Francs!

After the final business discussion on the wedding, my family and I walked around the wedding pavillion and I of course took some pics!
I honestly reccomend anyone to go walk around here on their trip, its just so peaceful and beautiful! Its a must see!!!

A photo in the brides vestibule!!!

They were setting up for a wedding that evening!

Some beautiful flowers in the WP!


After some snooping and peaking in the WP, it was now around 11am and we were a bit hungry for breakfast at Gasparillas Cafe, the food court cafe at the GF, we took a nice brisk walk and just couldnt believe how beautiful this place is!

I think that will be my new desktop pic!

My mother enjoying her barefeet in the sand!
Seriously just being there made us want to dance and scream and sing!
I know we are cheeseballs but were proud of it HAHA!

We passed by the spa, my sister got a mani pedi there but I didnt, next trip hopefully I will make time for it!!!

I had to take a pic of the napkin because that night we were going to the MICKEYS NOT SO SCARY HALLOWEEN PARTY!!!!!!!
My favorite event!!!!
I cant wait to go this year!
We ate some breakfast, I had cereal and a banana, I didnt want to go too crazy on the food yet!

We sat and enjoyed our food by the water and watched the castle! Its a dream!

A fire work had went off, must have been part of a show!
After breakfast we decided to head to rent a sea racer boat!

Stay tuned for the next installment!
-Sea Racers
-Family heads in
-Mickeys Not so Scary Halloween Party!
