3 pairs of Minnie ears and Stalking Thumper~My first TR 5/6-5/11 *UPDATE 6/13, pg 14*

[Nermel9]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the souvenirs. I have that same beach towel. Our oldest son and his "then" girlfriend bought it for me when we took them for his high school graduation as a thank you gift for taking them to Disney for nine days. Mark has the Mine Mine shirt--it's his favorite shirt in the world.

I so enjoyed your trip report. Thank you for sharing your Disneymoon with us.

And don't forget to stop over at my PTR when you have a minute.

I love that beach towel! I was thinking I wanted to start some tradition and buy a beach towel every time I go to Disney, but they take up so much space in the suitcase! I'll probably have to stick with ornaments!

I'm glad you liked my TR, I wasn't sure about it at first, i was afraid no one would read it!

You never told me about the giant man on the plane. Figures!

I can't believe Brandon went from refusing to go to Disney a few years ago to someone who goes 3 times in one year and owns Mickey Mouse Crocs. Well done!

Yeah I forgot about that guy until I started writing about getting ready to go home! He was actually nice, he was talking to Brandon a lot when we were about half an hour away from NY and I was pretending to sleep about finding someone we know who lives in Florida, mailing ourselves mail at their address, getting a Florida ID and then being able to get the FL Disney discount, and telling us that's what his kids do...seems like an awful lot of trouble just to get a discount!

I need to get a new job so I can convince Brandon we need to do DVC! Obviously can't do it now but someday I want to!

I loooooooooove the souviners, especially the mugs!!!! Hmmm....I never got to wear the bridal ears, wonder if I can this trip since we are going to celebrate our 10th anniversary????

Yes you can definitely wear the bride ears for your anniversary!!! I saw a lots of people with anniversary pins wearing those ears! I have to warn you though, the veil gets kind of annoying when it's hot out, which is why I kept switching between those and the silver ears!

The bride and groom mugs are too cute! I might have to get them this summer even though we aren't doing a Disneymoon next year when we get married. I also really liked the Mickey and Minnie art print you picked out. Which DTD store was that at?

 

[eecteacher82]

I followed your link over here from your comment on my PTR and read your whole TR! I loved it!!!! I was so sad to see that you were already done....at least I will have your PTR to look forward to! I would have LOVED to do WDW for our honeymoon, but we went about 2 months before our wedding and since I was 6 months pregnant when we got married, we figured we would just wait until our DD was born and take her! Can't wait for you to start you PTR!!!

awww love those bride & groom mugs! so cute! and i love the pic of mickey & minnie on the beach even more!!!!! actually, everything you got I JUST LOVE!!!


so sad your TR is over...but I'm looking forward to the next one! Let me know when you start your pre trip report for next trip! LOL!

Great souvenirs. I try to get something for my kitchen every trip, the pizza cutter may need to come with me. I have a nephew getting married this year the ornament would be great for their first tree.

I love the kitchen stuff at Disney! There is just too much to pick from...last year I got the measuring cups, this time I got the pizza cutter...I really want to get these wine glasses that I saw there but I'm not a big wine drinker. The ornament would be a nice thing to get for your nephew, they didn't have too much to pick from for wedding ornaments but I really like the one I got!

You should get the bride and groom mugs now, especially since you're not doing a Disneymoon! I got that print at the World of Disney store, the big store, it was in the jewelry section, I think, kind of in the back. I think in November I'm going to buy one of the drawings in DHS, not a wedding one, but maybe Lady and the Tramp or something, they are just so adorable!

Can't wait for you to start you PTR!!!

Yay, thanks for reading the whole thing, I'm glad you came over, even though it's pretty much done! I can't wait to start my PTR either!!!

awww love those bride & groom mugs! so cute! and i love the pic of mickey & minnie on the beach even more!!!!! actually, everything you got I JUST LOVE!!!

Thanks! They have such cute things at Disney, it's so hard to make a decision on what to buy! I wish I could just go there and buy whatever I wanted!

I will definitely let you know when I start my PTR, it will either be tonight or tomorrow. Im trying to think of a good title for it but I can't come up with anything fun. And I don't want to keep putting it off because I can't think of a good title!

LOVE the souvenirs!! Especially the Mr. and Mrs. mugs! I wish I would have gotten those when DH and I went on our Disneymoon! I love the ornament, too! We got one of the mickey head ball thingies with a little pair of bride and groom ears on it and it says "our honeymoon"! It weighs a ton and my poor littel tree can barely hold it but I love it!

That ornament you have sounds so cute, I didn't see those while I was there, although they might not make them anymore! Disney ornaments are so heavy! I bought this beautiful Snow White ornament last November and I had to find such a thick branch to put it on. I seriously have such a problem with Disney ornaments! Someday I'm going to have an all Disney tree with a few Red Sox ornaments thrown in!

I guess I should wrap up this TR, huh?

I'm not really sure how people end their TR's. Do they just end with the last day and that's it, goodbye, thanks for reading? I can't do that! I've become so attached to this TR over the last month or so that I've been writing it I can't just abandon it because it's over!

Well anyway, our Disneymoon was great and of course, very memorable! I thought I would regret not going somewhere else. I've always wanted to go to Hawaii for my honeymoon, so I thought I'd be sad about that. Then there was the week we considered going to Disneyland, so I thought I'd be upset about that. We even considered Cape Cod or Vermont for a few days, which started to sound fun to me, but when it came down to really deciding, I knew there is no other place I'd want to spend our honeymoon than Disney! Brandon didn't want to, I think I actually cried at one point telling him how much I wanted to go, and finally he said ok!

Disney definitely goes out of the way to make whatever you are celebrating special! I loved how everyone told us congratulations when they saw our Just Married pins or my Minnie Bride ears! I LOVED getting upgraded to Club Level at the Beach Club! I loved just being able to stay at the Beach Club! I know that will never happen again, BC is so expensive! I only got Brandon to agree because it was only 5 nights and we used the 40% off discount! I knew the whole time we were there that I should be taking it in and remembering it, but I'm afraid I rushed through it too much. I almost feel like I didn't take the time to appreciate, OMG, we are at the Beach Club!!!

I learned that I will probably never go in May again. Too hot, too crowded. Some of the days were better than others, and the nights were ok when it cooled down a little, but after going in September and November, we were definitely spoiled when it came to wait times. We were used to walking on to pretty much everything! Although, I would like to take an anniversary trip someday, so that will have to be in May, there's no way around that!

I also learned that I need to stop and take pictures more! And I especially need to take more pictures of us together! I'm so obsessive when it comes to my camera while we are there, I have to make sure we have it at all times and that the battery is charged, but I don't use it nearly enough! And we definitely did not get enough photopass pictures!

I loved trying new places to eat, Crystal Palace is probably my new favorite right now, I can see that definitely becoming a must do every time we go! As much as I love Le Cellier, and trust me, I love it, I don't think we should have done it twice, it was just a little too much! I think once each trip will be good enough!

It was a pretty perfect trip! I would highly recommend to anyone going on a honeymoon to go to Disney, but I guess I can see how that's not for everyone! I want to go other places and see the world, but right now, I love going to Disney World! It makes me so happy, it lets me escape from real life for a few days or a week or however long I'm lucky enough to go, and I don't think there is anything wrong with that!

I also LOVED writing my first TR, like I said before, I can't believe i've been on the DIS for over a year and I've never bothered coming over here! Everyone is so nice, I love reading about people's plans and trips, and writing my own TR and chatting with everyone about it made it so much fun! I cannot wait to start my PTR!

I guess that's it! I hope you guys liked my TR and I hope you will all come over to my PTR once I start it, I'm thinking tomorrow, but I'm so anxious to start it, I might do it a little later tonight! I will let you all know!

Talk to you all soon!!!

Great trip report and I look forward to your next report.

 

[shelbys mommy]

Great ending to your TR. Come back with the link to your PTR!!! I fully enjoyed reading it! See you in my PTR & in 2 weeks my TR!!!!!

 

[therussells08]

Great job on your TR, girl! It's been so fun getting to know you through your trip and becoming friends! I can't wait to start reading your PTR!

 

[MHTeacher]

Enjoyed your trip report! I'll be looking out for your new PTR.

 

[HeatherBelle614]

I try to get DH to buy that "Mine, Mine, Mine" shirt every trip. Maybe this time he'll finally get it! He looks at it, then doesn't end up purchasing it.

I'm the same way with ornaments! I have a whole tree for Disney! Last year though, I think we may have ended up with about 10 single ornaments, and 2 story book sets. Woops! Haha.

I don't know if I saw those mugs on our Disneymoon! Toooo cute! I think I would've definitely bought them if I'd seen them there. Dang it!

I can't wait for your PTR!!!

 

[Nermel9]

Great trip report and I look forward to your next report.

Thank you! I'm so glad people actually liked it and read it! I was so nervous that no one would read it and I'd be talking to myself the whole time!

Great ending to your TR. Come back with the link to your PTR!!! I fully enjoyed reading it! See you in my PTR & in 2 weeks my TR!!!!!

I will definitely have a link to my PTR once it gets going, I can't wait for your TR and reading about Shelby's first visit!

Great job on your TR, girl! It's been so fun getting to know you through your trip and becoming friends! I can't wait to start reading your PTR!

Thanks, I love getting to know you too, and I feel the same way about your PTR! We need to be FB friends, I know you're on there!

Enjoyed your trip report! I'll be looking out for your new PTR.

Thanks, yay, I'm really enjoying your TR too, you're making me want to go back to the Beach Club with your most recent pics!

You should just buy your DH that shirt, I love that shirt! I really wanted my DH to get the monorail shirt with the Spanish on it, I almost want to call Disney and order it somehow for his birthday next month!

I'm jealous, you definitely have to put up some pictures of your Disney tree in your PTR if you have any! I'm actually thinking of getting a small tree to put in my bedroom just for Disney ornaments this year!

I think I will be starting my PTR later tonight, after I do a few things, if I start it now, I will be on here all night and get nothing accomplished! So I will be back soon, hopefully with my new PTR all ready to go!

I know how hard it is to end a trip report. It's so fun to tell the story of your trip. It's like reliving it. I like to end my trip report with final thoughts (which you did). I also like to list my top 5 favorite moments or events of the trip. Plus I like to list what I got to do that was new.

I agree that the cast members are especially awesome when you are celebrating. Denny and I celebrated our 20th there last fall and the CM's were great. We had more people wish us happy anniversary in four days then we did in the last 20 yrs.

I really like that idea, of ending with 5 favorite moments of the trip and listing new things you did! I might have to do that! Thanks for the tip!

CM's are great when celebrating something, I almost wanted to take my Just Married pin off the last day we were there because I felt bad that people were making such a fuss over it! But I would never get to wear it again so I kept it on!

I'm getting ready to start my PTR, but I'm having trouble deciding what pictures to use, so it might take a little while!

 

[therussells08]

I'm anxiously awaiting that PTR! I can't wait to read it!

BTW...I'm sending you a PM with a link to my Facebook right now!

 

[hlrababy]

Hey Jen!!

I am here but going to catch up now!

 

[MarieTheCat24]

Finally caught up!

Jeez. Life needs to stop being so chaotic so that I can keep up with people's trip reports!

The Mr. and Mrs. mugs are absolutely adorable. I hope they still sell them when I get married! Actually, maybe I should just buy them now and put them in storage or something, because marriage is a LOOOOOOOONG way off.

Can't wait for your PTR!

 

[mylittlebuttercup]

So glad you guys had a great Disneymoon! Anxiously awaiting your PTR!
