Glad to hear the trip was awesome!!!
 

glad you're back!!! Can't wait to hear all the updates...
 
Ok girls...can't seem to focus at work so I thought I would update with a mini-trip report and wedding update. No pics yet but I will get them uploaded tonight (wait till you see Lauren's though!!)

Day 1- Today was Eric's birthday!! He did great flying (he is terrified). We went to DHS and then over to the Boardwalk for birthday lunch and cake. The cake was outrageous...both in price and taste!! We had vanilla cake with fruit mousee and whipped cream:lovestruc ESPN was great too...one of Eric's favorite meals!

Day 2- Today was Animal Kingdom. We met up with some diser's for a very hot but fun day! We left in the early afternoon to get ready for dinner at Kona and MK for Wishes. Dinner was not great but overall it was a great night. Eric LOVED wishes!

Day 3- Originally we were going to do a water park and then dinner at WGP with mini-golf, but GMax was hitting up AK for EMH and riding Everest at night. We ended up playing mini-golf during the day (BAD IDEA!!) and then going to dinner at Tusker House....can we just say I'm in love with Pina Colava's!!!! Lol then we did Everest a few times and ended up getting SOAKED on Kali (twice!!) Eric just loved AK!!

Day 4- Today we started out at MK and Lauren and Patrick ended up showing up early! We spent some time there till noonish then went back to the hotel. We got ready and went to EPCOT were we ate and drank around the world.

Day 5-Today was our Princess breakfast. Lauren and I had a great morning and even made custom Mickey ears for everyone! Later we went to Disney Quest and Raglan Road.

Day 6- Typhoon Lagoon...we absoulutely loved it! I had never been! Then Eric and I headed to Animal Kingdom lodge for our anniversary. We had a nice evening with dinner at Jiko :lovestruc YUM!!

Day 7- EPCOT...were we got to ride Segways!! We hit up all the big rides before going to get ready for our dinner at Le Cellier. I don't remember what we did afterwards...maybe MK? Lol.

Day 8- We tried out Blizzard beach (which we hated!) Then went to MK and dinner at Whispering Canyon...where the boys ate themselves sick!!:lmao:

Day 9-MK with dinner at Coral Reef...until I see the pics the trip everything is a bit blurry!!

Day 10- DHS where Lauren made it on the American Idol SHOW!!!! IT was awesome...unfortunately she was ROBBED of winning.:mad: Dinner at 'Ohana and fun beach pictures (can't wait till Lauren gets back!)

Day 11- Meeting with Heidi our WC (more later ;). We didn't know what to do and Eric was so upset about leaving that he wanted to go to the MK. It was a really fun morning.

We sat on the runway for about 2.5 hours last night in a lightening storm but made it home safe and sound!! June is a bit too hot and busy for us...but it was a blast. Eric is a full on Disney fanatic now:banana: Lol he said that we should go twice a year from now on!!

Ok wedding updates in the next post...
 
Whohoo!! So some serious wedding updates. I mentioned before that Eric and I received the video from STVS and Eric had a very long wish list:lmao: We decided to check out some things while on the trip just to make sure we were happy with our decisions.

#1- We went to visit Seabreeze Point and....are you ready for this? Eric HATED it!!!:confused3 Lol I kinda knew it was coming. He didn't like it's proximity to the sidewalk. He said it just wasn't Disney to him.

#2- After Lauren and Patrick arrived we all went over to the Wedding Pavillion. His jaw dropped when he walked inside.:lovestruc He absolutely loved it.

#3-We checked out the WH Patio...both loved it. I love how close it is to the WP.

#4-Had a long talk about what we both want out of the wedding. We decided if we are going to do it, we want to do it!! The things we wanted were adding up fast. It was easily going to cost just as much to do an Escape with an at-home reception than a Wishes Wedding

#5- Made a last minute meeting with Heidi, our WC to discuss options. We saw lots of pics of different venues and talked about what we wanted.


So you ask...what was our decision (duh...).

We currently have the Wedding Pavillion, White Hall Patio and Italy West held for our WISHES wedding!! We are both really happy with our choices. I don't think either of us were thrilled to switch to an Escape wedding but felt that financially it wouldn't work. We now realize that we can stick to the minimum (after talking to Heidi) and that we will spend the same amount in both scenarios. We are really excited.

Our only issue is date. The WHP is booked for 3/9 so we are waiting to hear. We should know by the end of the week...3/3 is our other hopeful date. Heidi said as soon as she hears she will let us know and then get us contracted :cool1:

So back to the planning!!
 
Oh. My. GOSH!!!! Your wedding is going to be so beautiful!!! WOW!! And you're a Wishes bride now!! WOW again!!!

Awww thanks!! I am really excited about it. I wasn't SUPER excited about the Wedding Pavillion until I saw it again. And the second time we went, music was playing inside and it was perfect! Lol and yes a Wishes bride again!!

And I had to fight Eric on the DP location. He wanted the Uk but I think Italy is just gorgeous!! Plus the pics of WHP at night were fabulous!! We are still considering a Wishes DP instead but are really torn.
 
March 3rd was my oldest sisters birthday and my daughter's due date..so that is a pretty special day!

Italy is mine and DH's fav location in Epcot so I think that is a great choice!
 
My work computer sucks & took forever to post that last comment, so disregard it. :laughing:

Your new plans sound fantastic! The WP is just stunning, isn't it? :love: Italy is a great spot for the fireworks too, right smack in the middle. Are you guys still doing an evening wedding?

I LOVE Italy!! We saw a DP set up there once and it was just gorgeous!

We probably will have a 2:30 ceremony time. If we have the EPCOT DP like we planned, we will leave around 8 p.m. If we do a Wishes DP, that will also be around 8. Our WC checked to see what time Wishes was this past March and it was 8.

:cool1:
 
Just catching up here. I am so excited to read all about your plans and your fun at Disney!!

I have been to a wedding at the WP...It was just magic, breathtaking, and stunning. I have no questions that yours will be the same.

Miss you and wish I could have been there this past trip. Hopefully we will be able to meet up again.

Ohh Mandy.. You ultimately ended up choosing exactly what I would have wanted. WP/WHP and a dessert party!! I"m glad you both are happy with your new decisions.

I'm so excited.. sounds like it was a success of a trip and much more!!!
