[tinkgurl]

Whoa! 52 people?! That's crazy!

 

[kimbo0569]

Looks like you all had a blast!!!!

Love the GF! Dh and I stayed there on our honeymoon 10 years ago (this October). From the pics, it looked like we had a similar room to yours!

I would love to do a 10th anniversary trip down this October but funds will not allow this year. Here's hoping for a 15th anniversary trip to the Grand!

 

[DisneyFairy66]

Great update! How long did you have to wait for seats with 52 people??

Well we had the reservation, so Ohanas was preparing of us. But it took about 15 minutes to get everything situated!

Whoa! 52 people?! That's crazy!

I know, when I saw my sister planning it, you think oh it will be just so and so but it added up to 52 lol!

Cheers to you having a 15th anniversary trip at the grand, actually NO, an 11th anniversary trip lol! Yea i dont know when we will ever get to stay at the grand again, thats why its great to enjoy it as much as possible.



I hope to have time to do an update soon, I have organic chemistry homework due tonight! I cant wait to share my magic kingdom pics!

 

[DisneyFairy66]

I got an idea!!!!
How about I skip out on school! And Ill take a full time position as a Disney Adventurer and come back with Trip Reports!!!! Hmmm, how can I get that job! Any suggestions? lol

Ill be the Samantha Brown of DISNEY WORLD!

 

[catherines_mama]

YAY! An update! Great way to spend my lunch hour!

Ya'll were in the center section. I saw that area and thought "I bet that's where they put big parties". 52... mmhmm!

Great shots of the characters!

 

[BigEeyore]

I never noticed Pluto's tag before - too cute!

 

[DSNY4ever]

Just found this one and I am loving all of the pictures and it looks like you had such a great time so far- I can't wait to see the wedding. I'll have to hop over and look at your sister's report too.

I really love that your whole family travelled to WDW for this it really looks like a wonderful memory not just for the bride and groom, but for your whole family- wonderful!

I am hoping for a trip down for 2010 but I don't know about the Grand. With two kids, the price might be out of our range a bit, plus we're trying really hard to save for a house. I'll be happy if we can do the CBR or POFQ.

Honestly it wasnt just my sisters wedding it was truly a family reunion! And the fact that everyone saved to mostly be at the Grand Floridian was really special!! The memories of that week are like no other! I onyl wish that everyone could experience a family event at Disney! Its soo worth it!

Honestly even if you just do a few nights a value resort its just the fact that your in disney is the best feeling!!! Hopefully next year they will have the free dining plan again and you can use that your advantage of saving money! Going to Disney is NOT cheap so I know how it is to use every discount to your advantage! Good luck, fingers crossed you can go next year!!!!
