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

Mike, great pictures!!!! Everyone looks great and tan!!

Bellamickey, the pianist played throughout the hour, so I would say just pick about 15 songs that you really love, the songs that cover the dance and the cake and the entrance, and you should be set. He overheard me telling the photographer and Florencia that I love the Little Mermaid and he just started playing Part of Your World....very beautiful and never too loud.

Morning Ladies!!

I woke up early this morning to work out!! Patty's such an inspiration, she looks great in that dress, and I figured if she can wake up O Dark Early to work out, than so can I!

Yeah, but i'm gonna be in serious pain tomorrow!

Mike - again the pics are wonderful!! Thanks for answering all the questions!! Your definately helping us out!!

Ok, so after the ceremony you said the kids and guests went to Palo while you and your wife took pics around CC. How long did that last?? What were the guests doing in Palo while they were waiting for you?

Unfortunately, they stood around in the deck 1 tender lobby, waiting for the elevators to work again. Nicole the coordinator (and manager of guest services) was more ticked off than they were.

They got to Palo not long before we did. When we got there, they were just relaxing and chatting. We asked for Sprite & milk to be available, plus they had water, so they had a chance to rehydrate a little bit.

Congratulations on working out! I wish I had done that. I really don't like how I looked in a lot of the pictures.

Hmmm.....wonder if we can get together for pictures before the ceremony, thus eliminating a bit of the time they have to sit and wait for us.

Are you cruising again next year?? 12/5/09? You should switch to 12/10!

The 12/5/09 cruise is the "dummy date" that Jocelyn booked everybody on, knowing that we're going to bump it forward into 2010. We're all anxiously awaiting the official itinerarry anouncement, and we all have our hearts set on certain things we'd like to see.

The funniest story I have is that one of our friends wanted to book an imaginary cat 6 for the imaginary cruise, but it was sold out, so she had to book an imaginary cat 5 instead.

If we could have been on the 12/10 cruise, you know we would! We'd be the ones camped out on the beach near your ceremony with our telephoto lens!

cheryl - (*cause I KNOW you are here) I went to MICHEALS yesterday and got all the flowers from my bouquet..even the palm wisps!! I am going to make a bouquet and use the ribbon from mine and put it in the vase the way they delivered it to the room.

I am such a nerd!

What an amazing idea! My flowers survived the cruise, four more days in Disney and they really wilted on the very long day yesterday (from check out, park visiting, resting, airport, etc). I have them hanging upside down to hopefully dry out, but I'd love to 'recreate them'. I wonder if my Michael's will have anything, cause it's all fall flowers now, autumn colors and all up here!

on the "shoe thread" i saw all these great pictures of people's shoes..something I never would have thought of and neither did Elvis, the wonder photographer so I played with our new camera tonight

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

here is the original

The silk so far..i haven't finished with the greenery or the palm wisps and my flash is bright because I was holding it together

Wow Betsy, that looks great! I also loved the shoes shot. I think I'll have to do something like that!

 

[Bellamickey]

Oh wow Betsy! I love that shoe shot. I'm gonna have to remember that and steal your idea!!!!
You guys took such wonderful photos. I hope ours turns out as good.

Oh, wanted to let everyone know, Ive started my planning journal!! Its under Shawn and Belinda!!

Im so excited, almost to the 6 month mark. I will be starting to add more, as I have just ordered my dress!!

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

ha..I stole it from Lynn and Carrie!!

6 months?? WOW!!

 

[Bellamickey]

I don't feel bad then, cause I'm gonna steal it too!! HA HA

Welllll.....my little ticker will roll to 6 months and something in two weeks or so, but whos counting!!!!!

That spa thingy' that you and your hubby did with the private tub, was it pretty expensive? ( hope you don't mind me asking )Its an idea that I'm pondering. It looks SOOOOO worth it!!
Kinda looking for a "little suprise" to do for the hubby while on board or at WDW before hand if you have any ideas?

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

it was very expensive..$450 but if you think it is 2 massages, 2.5 hours and the private veranda, WORTH EVERY PENNY!!

 

[Bellamickey]

wow, you do get quite a bit. We would like to do it. Do you remember what the sessions was called?
I just book it online when I do my shore excursions right? Then they add the amount to my ship board account??
Oh, thats gonna be wonderful. The day we say would be good. Right before dinner.
Do we get to pick a time?

Total privacy?

Sorry for all of the questions, Im being a pest!!

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

no, no..not a pest..

I just asked DH if he thought it was worth it..WISELY, he said "sure"

It is called :

we chose the ginger lime scrub..I love it and wish I had bought some to bring home..you can book it online to get the time you want, we booked it the day we boarded after I took him on the tour (I did the "Alone Time" on the Magic when the Villa Spa was new) the Wonder had rolling doors for more privacy and now that the Magic has gone into dry dock, I think they have replaced the curtains with rolling doors too

We booked at sunset the day we left Castaway..it was so awesome!

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

bump for new DCL brides

 

[Bellamickey]

Hi girls! Question, I tried calling Cathy, but I'm starting so see that she is ALWAYS out of the office.....

After our onboard VR, is it right after that we have our Palo dinner reservation?

I finally got my dress. It has a cathedral train and the dress is little cinderella poofy. Im just not sure about wearing it into Palo or not, and if I decide to change, do I have time?

Hope everyone is doing well!!!

Any help would be great.

 

[Goldeelox9]

You can have your Palo meal anytime you want it suring the cruise. If you do not make a reservation ahead of time then Cathy will make you one for the night of your VR. I found emailing her works best! LOL

 

[BELLE16127]

Can I join this one too?? Not the Bride but the Bride's Mom. I am assuming a VR is at least similar to a Wedding, so I would love to hang out here a bit. I know I have been posting different questions as I think of them and am probably makin you all crazy, but I want this to be WONDERFUL for both my daughter and her DF (Rene is his name) and I keep looking for answers to the questions she may have and info for me that I foget to ask her when I can catch her on the phone.....Thanks for all the help so far and anything new you all may be able to pass along.
