Nice pictures! My favorites are China, Norway, and UK! Your makeup looks AMAZING!!

Thanks for the recommendation for the Pop pool bar, LOL!

I'm trying to go to the game on May 7th - Thursday vs. my Indians! We didn't buy our tickets yet though, so planning the first Fenway DIS meet will have to wait hahaha!
 
Your make up looks gorgeous!!!! How amazing to have e-pics in Disney!!! They turned out fantastic!!! Did you pick one for the paper yet? Its probably going to be so hard!!
 

Thank you so much for posting your pics. I'm still debating whether or not to do the honeymoon shoot in EPCOT even though I had my heart set on MK. Decisions!

Your makeup looked great!:goodvibes
 
Just tuning in. Wow who would of thought that a Disney wedding would be less then at home :confused3. My son who is at the Disney college want's a Disney wedding that's good information I will have to tell him.

Sure thing, if you have any questions feel free to PM me, I have the emails disney sent that I can forward you if you are intrested, and I'll post the link to the final product in a few mins:goodvibes

The pink shoes are my thing, I love em, my mom and I didn't see eye to eye on them for E-pics though lol! But she said it looked cute, so I guess she's over it lol!

Sorry about the anxiety over the bells lol! They were so awful! This week Dave's alarm clock was all strange sounding (he acidentally put in on full blast vloume with the beach sounds so it sounded like seagulls were attacking us every morning) and we kept joking that he must have brought back some weird disney alarm clock disease and given it to his poor alarm clock (we have since correct our alarm clock thank goodness!) :lmao:

Thanks, those are actually my faves too! haha, too funny about the game,, if you end up getting tickets let me know and I will happily show you to the best local bar in that area:thumbsup2

Your make up looks gorgeous!!!! How amazing to have e-pics in Disney!!! They turned out fantastic!!! Did you pick one for the paper yet? Its probably going to be so hard!!

Oh I hadn't even thought about that yet! You just reminded me to get on that lol! Thank you for that reminder, I would have totally forgot, I am so scattererbrained lately with this wedding stuff lol! Thanks for the sweet compliments too:flower3:

Thanks Jennifer and No prob! They were a lot of fun to take, I'll post the link to the official disney ones if you want to check them out too. Dean did a really nice job editing them in a couple different ways for us which was nice:goodvibes

Just tuning in. Wow who would of thought that a Disney wedding would be less then at home :confused3. My son who is at the Disney college want's a Disney wedding that's good information I will have to tell him.

haha yes! I was amazed it was going to be less, but it is saving us a lot by doing it in WDW... although we live in MA which is one of the most expensive areas of the country to get married apparently:confused3, all the bridal books said that fact which I thought was strange. I think NY is and New England need to adjust their prices to WDW prices now lol! You would have an awesome time planning your sons WDW wedding, my mom is loving that she doesn't need to run around to a million places!

That one was really funny because there was a family just chilling behind us for a while, oblivious to the fact that we were taking pictures lol! (Norway had people in it b/c of the princess breakfast) We didn't get upset though, we just thought it was funny how swept up in WDW people get (me being one of those people lol):lmao:

Hi Sam!!

Aww thanks, and No prob! Did you decide if you were goping to do one yet?
 
Day 2 Part 2 – Can we save the World before lunch?

So when we last left off our E-pics were complete and we were now free to enjoy the park! I made Dave put on the “Just Engaged” buttons and our mouse ears… oh wait no I didn’t. Why you ask? Well on the plane ride I remembered that I left the Mickey and Minnie bride and groom ears at home!!! Oh the Horror!!! Dave offered to buy me a new one since I was upset, but I said no I would act like a grown up (and just wear them next time lol). Honestly though, of all the things I could forget you would think I would’ve had the foresight to put those in the “Must pack” pile, but Noooo I didn’t even put them in any pile, I just plumb forgot!

Ok, back to the TR, since WS wasn’t officially open yet, we decided to head to future world and get a few rides in. So we head to The Land pavilion and check out Soarin’s wait. At 9:45 it was only 30 mins, but us being impatient we decided to fast pass it and come back later. Our fast pass time was for something obscure like 11:56 so we decided to hit it up later. Now since we were there we had to ride Living with the Land (I love seeing the Mickey shaped Veggies in the Greenhouse). 5 minute wait posted, but I am pretty sure we just walked right on. Random thing I saw on the ride this time was an inordinate amount of pineapples growing… maybe it was pineapple season I don’t know, but seriously the pineapples were everywhere! So after the Land we were strolling through a now sorta, almost, getting crowded Future World and went in somewhere we have never really ventured into before… Innoventions. This is one of those places where I am not sure why we have never been inside before but I though I may learn something. Now I am sorry if this offends any Innoventions fans but… huh??? What is up with this place, there were a few cute games about learning and Dave and I played with a button that makes a door over your head slam shut but that was it. I could slam a door at home and be equally as amused as I was until this point. But… then I saw it… by the exit… Team Possible needed recruits to Save the World! Now since I am “Super Sam” and have super powers like being able to convince my DF to come with me to WDW on a moments notice, and making a pretty darn tasty Key lime Pie, I figured this would be a cinch! So we join Team Possible and are assigned a fastpass ticket type thing to report at our designated time to Norway for our assignment.

Dave and I were still a bit early for our mission so we headed over to the Seas with Nemo and friends and rode our clamshell after another 5 minuet wait. So at this point we were debating “do we go visit Turtle Talk with Crush now, or do we wait a while?” Well a lady came out and said “next show starting now, come on in folks” so we listened to her. Now I have seen TTwC a few times and I think it is hysterical, but nothing and I do mean NOTHING could have prepared us for this TTwC experience. We are seated and are listening to the jokes and laughing right along until this happens…

Crush: “Squirt and I found something the other day that a human must have lost, can you help me and tell me what it is?”

Audience: “Yes!”

Crush: gets item from off screen and comes back with a woman’s bikini top hanging from around his neck

Audience: “hahahahahaha”

Crush: “So what is this thing? Little Dude in the Black Shell can you help me”

Little Boy (about age 8): “It’s a Bra!”

Crush: “A what? What’s it for?

Now at this point I should mention that a little kid had just asked a question about crush’s shell so the answer the audiance was expecting from this little boy was something like “You wear it when you swimming”… but…

Little Boy: “To cover your ****s”

Audience: hahahahaha

This was the funniest thing I had ever heard! The lady who runs Turtle Talk (has the mic and gives safety rules and such) was literally crying from laughing so hard! I was crying, Dave was crying, everyone was crying from laughing so hard. And Crush’s face was just priceless, he had his jaw wide open for about a minute not saying a word! Then he said

Crush: “Ok everyone, let’s all forget this happened…”

So after we composed ourselves Crush finished his show and we were headed off to save the world. Since it was 11 and WS was open I figured we could get a Grand Marnier Slush in France on the way to save the world (a girls gotta multi-task right?) so we get to France with eager eyes and livers only to find that in France they don’t serve alcohol until noon! A little bummed we walk over to Morocco and see a beer and sangria stand open… hey it wasn’t my slush but it would do! So we ordered a couple of drinks were on our way to save the world!

Dave and I headed to Norway to pick up our Kimmunicator which is a way to talk to Kim and Dale in the lab. It is a cell phone that is very interactive. They would give you clues and places to go to stop the silly crimes that were taking place all over the world. Our mission was in Germany so we headed over and played along. I don’t want to give too much of this away because it was a fun little diversion but I will tell you that your Kimmunicator interacts with different things and places in WS while on your mission. It was a lot of fun! The missions are supposed to take 15-30 minutes each, this one took closer to 15 so we figured we would do a 2nd mission. But 1st we had to head into the wine room in Germany for a glass of Liebfraumilch wine for me and a pinot noir for Dave. Well since we had on button we also got 2 glasses of white wine to try! Gotta love the buttons! We then had our wine and our Kimmunicator and were off to the UK for our next mission (you do get to pick where you want to go for any subsequent missions). I figured since the UK was right next to Canada and we were having lunch at Le Celier that afternoon the UK would be a good bet!

Here is our little wine picnic and our kimmunicator in Germany

Me and my wine and Kimmunicator... yup I posed

Well guess what, we saved the world again! Yup that’s right twice in one day Super Sam and Daredevil Dave saved the world! And all before lunch too! So with our missions accomplished and a bit of a buzz going on from my wine and empty stomach combo it was time for lunch.

Now I know the buzz on the Dis about Le Celier so I was very excited to try it, especially that soup. This was also our frist real experience using our dining plan at a TS restaurant. I ordered the Soup, the Filet and Smores for dessert. Dave ordered the Soup, a Burger and a fruit cup for dessert. I also got a mango smoothie to drink, while DF got a Lemonade. I will say the food did not disappoint! The soup was just a fab as everyone says… it was so fabulous in fact that last night my dear sweet wonderful DF made it for us for dinner! I felt like I was right back in Canada! Our entrees were also very good, however they should put a warning on that soup that one bowl and you will full for the rest of the day! I only ate ½ my steak and DF only ½ his burger! Very unlike us! And our dessert came out with a candle and congratulations written on it since we had our buttons on, how cute!

Last night we were smart though and had our soup with a small salad and we were fine, so I recommend eithier being very very very very hungry or maybe eating soup and entrée at the same time. Eithier way it was good, but way too heavy a meal for lunch when you had to sit in the FL sun afterwards… I would do dinner over lunch next time.

So I will leave you there for now, next post will have more pics I promise… up next a surprise for DF!
 
That sounds fun! They kept trying to recruit us but we didn't feel like doing it. Also, I tried the German wine you recommended and I loved it!

I was just laughing out loud when I read your Crush story! That's awesome!!! What a story for that kid's parents to tell him when he gets older LOL!
 
We were in the '90's

well thats probably why we never ran into each other! The POP is huge! I didn't realize the size of it until we got there, I was amazed at how huge it was! I have heard that the 90's building is very nice and quiet, I bet you guys had a blast!:thumbsup2

Ohh nice! I love that wine, I wish I could find it here. It was really funny when he said that, it just sort of stunned everyone for a minute which was really funny
 
:lmao::rotfl::rotfl2:Oh man, you need to warn a gal before you tell something as funny as that Crush story, I nearly spat my drink out all over my keyboard. Thanks for the laughs.
 
Love your trip report. Your pictures around the world are absolutely beautiful. The Kim possible mission sounds like fun, especially since there were some adult beverages to accompany your missions. Nice lunch at Le Cellier. Looking forward to reading more!
