SO sorry about the sun burn! Funny thing is that I got a TERRIBLE one on our honeymoon I yelled at my DH for two days straight, even walking down 7 mile beach in Jamaica. I don't do well with pain either
Oh no, sunburn. I'm always so paranoid at water parks and I apply, apply, apply. I got the worst sunburn at a water park in Wisconsin Dells when I was about 19. My skin turned purple and blistered all over. I know exactly what you mean about having fair skin.
I have never eaten at Narcoosees. I love the look and the location of the restaurant.
I am fair skinned, like you and burn to a crisp with very little sun exposure. I have found that Noxema (the white cream) takes the sting out. It goes on thick and feels so nice (as it is really cold) and then I leave it on for a few minutes then get in a cool shower. Helps SO much with the burning. (i have also heard tha vinegar helps, but it is stinky!). My DH is Armenian and much like Miguel, never burns, he only gets darker. Thankfully our kids got his skin tone (not as dark but nice all the same!).
Your pictures reminded me that I am pretty sure we ate in the GF when I was 17..my uncle worked for WDW and we went to dinner....then the gift shop all for 40% off!!!! My dad paid the bill, but it was nice to get most of the souvies we wanted.....too bad he doesn't work there anymore. WDW paid for him to go back for his MBA (he was a manager at the CR, then while in school he stepped down and was a waiter at WCC, less hours and decent money). He got it and later parted ways with the mouse....With 3 kids of my own I could really use that discount now! LOL!
Ugh my fair skin weeps for you. Hope you felt better real soon!
Oh no!!! Sunburn is the worst!!!! I have to say though I don't think you look bad in those pictures at all!
I love all of your GF pictures- it is such a beautiful resort.
OMG how awful about the sunburn My DH has skin that looks very similar to yours, he NEVER tans, only burns and/or gets more freckled We are also planning on going to the water parks during our vacation because he's never been (when he went to Disney before) and that is right up his alley, he's really excited about it. I just bought 4 tubes of 50 spf sunscreen yesterday for this trip because I'm worried about him burning too.
I also just booked a reservation to that French restaurant you guys liked, I'm so easily influenced lol.
Since I've never been to Disney is a huge hassle to just go to Epcot to eat and then leave for MK?
Sorry about the sunburn! I burn pretty easily also (as does my husband, who is a redhead), so I know how easy it is to get caught up in the fun at Disney and wind up completely burned. But don't worry about how you look in the photos! You do have a bit of a rosy glow on your cheeks, but you are also absolutely adorable, it overrides the sunburn.
Girl, I know your pain! It is impossible for me to tan-- always just burn! Glad your dinner was nice, though! The GF is such a romantic hotel!
UGH! I Hate sunburns! I get them quite badly too, so I know how painful it can be...and I always feel like kicking myself afterward, because it's generally my fault for not applying sunscreen (or not reapplying later in the day)!
However, I have to say, you did not look terrible for your dinner date at Narcoosees! In fact, you looked really pretty! The white dress and creamy pink cardigan really suit your complexion and hair color.
I know how that goes with sunburns...I am either pale or burnt I am hoping it got better quick!!
That is very cool how they have the personalized menu for your honeymoon!!
I'm so sorry about your sunburn! Unfortunately, I know all too well just how you felt. You looked just like me when I get too much sun--all your freckles really stand out!!
Dinner sounded lovely...I just hate that you didn't enjoy it as much as you could have if you had felt better!
I'm glad that you didn't have a problem going to sleep. I hope that the burn got better for the rest of the trip!
Catching up
I had never been to a water park (not much of a swimmer) before our last trip. We went to Typhoon Lagoon, and I loved it! It is so peaceful there. I will admit though, I hated the wave pool. I let DF stay out in it and I sat on a ledge at the far back side of it, and even there, the water came at me like crazy! But on a plus, we loved the donuts too
Oh no! That stinks about your sunburn. They are never fun. Like you, I have pretty fair skin and always have to be SO careful. I never tan! At least it wasnt as bad as your one when you were younger. That sounds incredibly painful!
The GF does look beautiful at night. We are trying to decide between trying that for the honeymoon, or stick with the Poly, which we absolutely love. Decisions, decisions!
I really hope you felt better the next day. I know from experience what a miserable feeling it is! Cant wait to read the next one
yay you got a picture of my room at the GF! (that block of four balconies.. our's was the lower right one )
Sounds like a lovely day at Typhoon Lagoon, it's so nice to discover a 'new' part of WDW isn't it.. a few trips ago, DH played golf at some of the courses, and although I don't play golf I was a little jealous that he'd got to see some areas of WDW that I'd never been!
So sorry to hear about the sunburn... I've had some awful burns when we've been on vacation in the caribbean, so much so that I actually went for a few short sunbed sessions before honeymoon because I was sure I'd burn again!
Hope it calms down by the next day
Narcoosees looked lovely - it was the one GF restaurant we didn't go to, but think we will next trip.. revisit our honeymoon resort!
Hope you have a lovely weekend,

Aw I feel so bad about your sunburn!! Those are the worst and they make you so miserable. I hate sunburns!!!
Ouch about the Cancun sunburn!!!! That sounds soo painful.
I just found your trip report and I am loving it!! Congrats on your marriage and on your Disneymoon!! Sunburns are the worst. My husband and I got married almost 2 years ago and for our honeymoom we went on a Disney Cruise. I got the worst sunburn on Castaway Cay. But we have to make the best of it because we are in DISNEY!! Can't wait to hear more.
sorry about the sunburn I love all your pics, so pretty The personalized menus are cute too!!
SO sorry about the sun burn! Funny thing is that I got a TERRIBLE one on our honeymoon I yelled at my DH for two days straight, even walking down 7 mile beach in Jamaica. I don't do well with pain either
Sunburns suck, but at least it didn't really show in your pictures.
Emma, I read your reply without really looking at the poster name and thought "hey, I just read a TR where the couple got that room as well, what a coincidence! Oh wait, it IS her!"
Oh, no!!! I was afraid by the warning on your last post that you got a bad sunburn! Those are the worst! I had an entire vacation ruined by one. I fell asleep on the beach my first day and was woken up by a stranger HOURS later! I had bad sun poisoning and horrible blisters and stayed in the hotel the entire week sicker than a dog... not fun! I sure hope that you woke up feeling tons better the next day!!!
You look beautiful with or without your usual makeup routine!
Sunburns are horrible!!! I'm sorry you got sunburned!!! It looks like you enjoyed your dinner for the most part though!!!
I feel so bad about your burn! The same thing happened to me on our first beach day during a vacation this summer so I was miserable for the next few days. It was awful!! Aloe was my best friend (when it worked).
I loved Narcoossee's. I remember when we were trying to find the restaurant itself we too were amazed by how beautiful the GF was... we hadn't really ever left the lobby before. So pretty!
Though AK is not my favorite park, I have to admit that I always feel like I have escaped from a theme park into a new country, it really is amazing how it is designed and kept up
