Disney Cruise Brides - Let's Chat about our Weddings/VR's!

Did your stimulus refunds come in yet? We're still waiting.

Ok, so since my PLAN is to have the ceremony on CC, I would hope that the cake would be in Palo, and not on the beach. icky! Depending on how many people come, and what time, I think i'd like to have a mini-reception in addition to the cake ceremony. Just some small hor-dourves and stuff. But that planning is much farther down the line.

When you book your date do you get to pick teh time, or is that assigned later on? Do you get any say so in that decision??

The Palo Room only holds minimum 12 max 14 people total...they told me that to have the cake in the Palo room..I can not have any more (i have 13)

I was told it would be at 4:30 or 5:30...that it looked as it would be at 5:30...but now that the Wonder sails out of Nassau earlier..I think it might get bumped up to 4:30..which is ok with me...gives me more time to have pictures taken around the ship before the 6pm Palo

You can have a "reception" at Palo? I was told they don't really do that (granted we're having a Castaway Cay wedding with about 50 people).

We are having a Reception in Palo. Right after the Castaway Cay wedding you head bak to the ship for a Toast and Cake Reception. The piano player comes and plays music and you can bring a CD to have your first dance and father daughter dance. etc. It is usually about an hour or so! It is in the morning (right after the ceromony) and Palo isn't open for breakfast or lunch, it isn't in the Palo room, but in the main part of Palo. I think this is for the actual weddings that take place on Castaway Cay. There is no food, but since we are heading to Castaway Cay soon as we are done the cake and all we plan on all eating at Cookies as a group then hitting the beach!

So with doing the VR you don't usually get the cake set up in Palo?

With our Castaway Cay VR, I'm pretty sure that our cake and champagne will be served in Palo. We only have 10 people.

You don't get a say so. Unfortunately, mine was assigned for 5:30 which is just before my dinner (I am not going to Palo that night in order to celebrate with family and DD11) I asked for the 4..and DCL and Cathy said they would see what they can do so I am hoping and wishing it gets changed! If not..we will just be late for dinner

no????? what's going on, cause we didn't get ours yet????

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

they are saying by some "glitch" some won't get their stimulus check until July...
This is bad for people who took out "anticipation loans" in order to get their check early!!

 

[Goldeelox9]

OMG....I don't have mine. This is weird I had a dream that the bank messed up everyone's IRS checks and that is why mine didn't come yet!

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

you must have ESP! Cause that is what happened!

 

[Goldeelox9]

In my dream it was the Bank of America down the street from me! LOL

 

[29apr00]

Oh NO!!! I had a dream my stimulus check was $0.40!! Suck, because you know what, we still don't have ours either!

 

[Goldeelox9]

LOL....Lets hope your dream DOESN'T come true!

 

[29apr00]

Yeah, no kidding!! The IRS website STILL doesn't show any information for my rebate.

 

[pjstevens]

GOT MY REBATE!!!!! (not yelling, just so excited).

 

[29apr00]

Nope, still nothing

 

[29apr00]

FINALLY!! Got notification that our CHECK will be mailed 5/30. Why we're getting a check and not DD, i have no idea, but atleast we know it's finally coming!

WOO HOO, time to book!

 

[Goldeelox9]

I found out I will be getting a CHECK too. It is because when I filed my taxes I had the filing fee deducted out of my refund. Oh well I know it is coming and that is all that is important!

 

[29apr00]

We didn't have a fee deducted, but you're right, oh well at least it's coming!
