Well I have to brag too. I should be arriving in two days but had to change our trip because of DD's golf team possibly going to state and....... they made it!! Next week they will be at Iowa State High School Golf meets Tuesday and Wednesday. Good thing we changed our trip

Hooray!!!!! So happy you changed your dates. Good luck at States.

Hellooo fellow Boardwalk lovers! Maybe some of you remember me from many weeks back asking questions about setting up an engagement for my brother in one of the Boardwalk Inn Cottages. Well everything came together perfectly! I thought I'd post some of the pics of the Cottage all decorated up. I'll have much better pics when we get the professional ones back, but until then...

We had 3 of these larger arrangements placed around the room with lots and lots of candles..sooo pretty!!

The chef from The Flying Fish was amazing!! He agreed to do the menu items from the restaurant, and then we arranged to have it served in the cottage. He even came to visit them in the middle of the meal!

The Bride-to Be had NO idea we were there at all until after the actual engagement. She was so excited that we all ended up celebrating at Jelly Rolls until 2am! The next night we surprised the couple with an Illuminations Dessert Party..followed by another night of more celebrating at Jelly Rolls! Needless to say, I am exhausted! But it was worth every minute of it!
Now I just need to find a reason to do all this all over again!

OMG, thank you so much for following up with us! I wondered how it all turned out. I can't believe the chef showed-up at the cottage! It sounds like it was just magical and what a great memory and beautiful ring and delectable cakes!

 

[WDWKOOK]

We've finally booked our trip for Sept! And we'll be staying CL at the BWI. I'm so excited!!

Congratulations and happy planning!

Maybe it's the BW connection, but on Friday my DD's tennis team made it to the State Tournament, too. (We didn't rearrange our WDW vacation, because that is scheduled for August, but I wanted to brag, too.)

Brier Rose, your photos are amazing. What a lucky couple to have you in their lives!

Seriously, you are the best sister ever! They are a lucky couple to have you in their lives!

Brier Rose... Thanks for sharing the pictures of the engagement room. The cakes look delish and the flowers so beautiful.

Congratulations on a job well done! She must have been amazed by the whole set up.

Brier RoseWOW!Congrats to your brother and soon to be sister....the wedding will struggle to top the engagement

 

[Brier Rose]

Thanks so much, to all of you!! You're all so sweet!

We just had the best time ever, and the awesome people we worked with truly made it easy!

I was just so happy to be able to help my brother. He's been sooo very busy with finishing up college this semester, and all the 1000 things he had to do. He would come up with ideas, and I'd just get them worked out for him..team effort! haha But he really is my "baby" brother..15 years difference between us, and I'm just so proud of him, and the man he's become. He is not just a great brother, but a wonderful person.

Plus..I can't tell y'all how excited I am to be getting a new sister that loves Disney as much as we do!


.....and YES the cakes were omg AmAzInG!! The one I got to taste was chocolate cake with Bailey's filling and Buttercream frosting..wow..I wish I had some right now!

Getting excited, leave at 7:00 am saturday. The BWI does have refrigerators in the rooms, right? I wanted to pick up some bottled water to keep in our room

 

[bluejasmine]

Havent stayed at BWI yet, we are booked for Sept but all WDW resorts now have fridges but the deluxes always had them! Have a great time!

Brier Rose I'm loving those pics!!!!

I'm jealous of everyone going shortly. I have 78 days to go & that might as well be 378 or 578...seems like forever & a day!

If anyone has any tips to beat the heat please share. We've never gone in August & I HATE heat & humidity. We won't be in parks during the daytime, and will dress light & drink lots of water- any other good tips?

I also have 78 days left!!!
It's hotter than heck!!!!!!!!! Go to the parks early, nap or pool later, lot's of tank tops, etc, you will survive LOL. I love the mornings in August, it's so wonderfully warm. Evenings are a bit stuffy, but I don't care, I'd rather be there. For sure though you still need a sweatshirt for dinner, because they crank the A/C!

I keep a damp towel around my neck when it's hot outside. It really helps keep you cool, and when it dries out, you can just rewet it in a bathroom or water fountain. If you really want to get fancy, there's a product called the Chilly Pad that is made of fabric that keeps the water longer, so the cloth lasts for hours before it dries.

Welcome back

So true about topping the engagement - when do we help start planning the Disney wedding, Brier Rose?

Thanks so much, to all of you!! You're all so sweet!

What a wonderful family you have and SIL-to be

You better be all packed today!!

If anyone has any tips to beat the heat please share. We've never gone in August & I HATE heat & humidity. We won't be in parks during the daytime, and will dress light & drink lots of water- any other good tips?

I have to ask why you won't be in the parks during the day - not even to eat? In that case, the parks at night are wonderful in August. Are you just doing PM EMH? Without the sun out it's fabulous and usually seems to rain less. The daytime is very humid with bouts of rain. But, when it rains, the lines are much shorter and it cools off.

I keep a damp towel around my neck when it's hot outside. It really helps keep you cool, and when it dries out, you can just rewet it in a bathroom or water fountain. If you really want to get fancy, there's a product called the Chilly Pad that is made of fabric that keeps the water longer, so the cloth lasts for hours before it dries.

Welcome and that's great advice.
