Cam--everything sounds wonderful! Howard is such a sweetie--now if you have extra room at GF Sunday night...... Nah, Scott might get lonely all by himself! Oh, and we'll check out VWL for you in August. We're staying in a 2bd with my sis and niece for a few days for her bday.

And I don't know if you saw from the weekly WISH thread last week, but we secured our studio at BCV for January as well! Party central!!!

Your plans sound great, you'll absolutely love the Grand Floridian; it was such a nice indulgence. Kris and I joked that we hoped by the time our 20th anniversary rolls around we can actually afford to stay there on our own

 

[Lynn5700]

Aww Cam good for you!! The plans sound great Do you have DVC????????

 

[DisneyLaura]

How does all of that sound?

Sounds great to me. If you more room, I'll go too.

 

[Honeibee]

I seriously think we'll be sleeping in on Tuesday! LOL!

Cam, you do realize...there is no sleeping on a honeymoon!

 

[Kewz1]

Cam & Howard --

Your plans sound great! I'm happy you are staying at the GF. We honeymooned there exactly 18 years ago -- yesterday was our anniversary. It just screams "HONEYMOON!" to me!!

The VWL will be perfect in January. I love the decor there too. It's so exciting seeing all your plans being made. Have fun and enjoy it all!!

Kristen

Hopefully, I will make it through to get a medal and be limping around Monday thinking of y'all's big day

Lisa -- Can't wait to see a picture of you with your BLING!!

everything sounds wonderful!!!! what a beautiful celebration and honeymoon! How exciting....

Thank you! I am so thrilled that Howard wants to spend the rest of the week at WDW. It really does feel as if the days leading up to marathon weekend won't seem like much of a vacation, with all we'll have to accomplish, so it is so exciting to think of us having that time together after the VR to relax, try out some new restaurants, and really give our new APs a workout.

Stephanie -- That is so awesome! I am really looking forward to seeing all of the WISHers who are staying at BCV that weekend. And staying there will make it so easy for me to scream team on Sunday after I am done my waterstop responsibilities!

Your plans sound great, you'll absolutely love the Grand Floridian; it was such a nice indulgence. Kris and I joked that we hoped by the time our 20th anniversary rolls around we can actually afford to stay there on our own

Vanessa -- I am so glad you and Kris loved it there. Howard and I have literally talked about staying there since the first time we were ever on the monorail and saw it. I am SUCH a monorail freak that being right there at that gorgeous resort on the monorail will be a dream come true, all by itself! Being able to retire to my room after the WISHES dessert party will be so convenient and luxurious and for us both to go there after the reception will be so romantic!

Aww Cam good for you!! The plans sound great Do you have DVC????????

Yes, Lynne, we are DVC. I just saw your new siggie! Welcome Home! It will be the best decision you have ever made. Our investment paid off in less than 4 years! And for January, we are able to afford to put up our entire family as well as DMIL and DSIL only because we have DVC.

Sounds great to me. If you more room, I'll go too.

The more the merrier!

Judy, my dear, you DO realize that I must "filter" what I say here JUST IN CASE my MoH (also known as DDalmost20) reads it, right?

Kristen -- I didn't remember that you and Kevin honeymooned at GF. How romantic! Ahhhh, so you guys are returning to the "scene of the crime", so to speak, huh? I cannot tell you how much we think about and talk about how much it means to us that Kevin will preside over our ceremony (and we want to ask him to do the blessing at the reception, too). We love you guys so much and your participation makes this so special for us.

Ooops! Forgot to mention that I finally figured out how to add Sunday night to our reservation at GF. After calling the wrong places and talking with nice but not very helpful CMs, I finally got lucky, was given the right number and talked to the most wonderful CM EVER!!! She even gave me her direct dial number and assured me that she is there to take care of all these details and make my life easier. What a darling! So, we are now set on ALL of our room reservations except our last 2 nights at VWL that I'll book tomorrow.

 

[Lynn5700]

Aww good!!! I'm glad we got it!!!!!!!!!!!

Cam I'm glad thinga are coming all together for your honeymoon!!

 

[keenercam]

Aww good!!! I'm glad we got it!!!!!!!!!!!

Cam I'm glad thinga are coming all together for your honeymoon!!

Thank you, sweetie!

Woohoo! I just looked at some information on the GF and am getting SOOO excited about staying there. I even posted a question on the resorts board asking how to get food in the middle of the night so I can have something to eat while getting ready (I think my hair and makeup appt is 3:30 a.m., IIRC). I get very grumpy when I don't eat. And that's if I'm not getting woozy. So, considering that I plan to be in bed by about 10pm, I figure I can order something from the overnight room service menu when I wake up. Otherwise, I'd be eating leftover dessert party foods!

I just cannot believe that we are staying in a honeymoon suite. Those are all in the main building, right?

 

[IndyBride]

How exciting! The Grand Floridian is such a beautiful hotel!

 

[keenercam]

Val -- I almost, kind of wish we weren't going to be so distracted with Vow Renewal events while we are at the Grand. It would be amazing to just hang out there and enjoy the resort. But I don't think there'll be much time to do that. Nice problem to have, right?

 

[Honeibee]

Cam - I'll be sure to pack a couple of Cliff Shots in my purse in case you need them.

 

[keenercam]

Howard was pretty adamant that I should have the "dangly bling" that match my necklace. I had been undecided -- right up until I thought I couldn't get them on the Swarovski website anymore -- THEN I wanted them badly! Turns out they've re-named the necklace and the earrings to "DREAM". How cool is that? So, in case you've forgotten just how incredibly GORGEOUS my necklace is that Howard bought me back in March, here are the pix that he took for me:

And here are the matching earrings that should arrive next week:

Judy -- Thank you, sweetie.

 

[DisneyFairy19]

WOW that necklace is STUNNING....beautiful

 

[pjstevens]

Oh Cam, that is goign to be so beautiful!!!! You and Howard are so blessed to have each other. Can't wait for our 5k tomorrow!!!

 

[keenercam]

Woohoo!! More details tended to! Our honeymoon is now fully booked!
Here is what things look like:
Pre-marathon and marathon accommodations:
Thursday, Friday and Saturday -- Beach Club Villas
Sunday (night before the VR)-- I'll be at Grand Floridian while Howard and the kids are at BCV
Monday (VR night) -- Howard and I will be at GF
Tuesday through Sunday -- Wilderness Lodge Villas

How fun!

AND -- Our planning session/tasting session is ONE WEEK FROM TOMORROW!!! I just uploaded some pix to shutterfly and ordered prints to pick up at Target tonight so that I can add them to my binder for the PS.
