EEEK! We just booked!

[rcortese711]

Ok so, I'm a bit excited and wasn't quite sure how to express it. I've been a lurker on the boards for a couple of years now and have absolutely loved reading people's PJs. Simply magical. But now I guess I should start one. We just booked our wishes wedding for June 4th, 2010!!

We have a 2:30 ceremony at WP, reception at Odyssey Pavilion in EPCOT from 3:30 to 8:30, then a dessert reception at Mexico Vista 8:30 to 9:30. I'm sooo excited! We had a bit of a scare though. We knew that we'd have no problem getting the Odyssey as they've never held a wedding there in 30 years. But when the time came to book it, there was a block on the Pavilion for the whole week! I guess they had routine maintenance for that time. After a complete freak out, several bottles of wine, and a couple days later, EPCOT moved the maintenance up a week so that we could have it June 4th! I'm sooo excited!!!

So now I guess we have to send in our guests names and addresses and begin actually planning the wedding. I'm a complete perfectionist/organization freak. I've already begun collecting magazine cutouts and putting them in a photo album. This way when we go for the planning session, I will have everything organized and ready. My fiance thinks it's funny/ridiculous how organized everything is.

So anywho, now that I've vented my excitement, it's back to the magazines for me. I spent $200 at Borders buying every single bridal and flower magazine there. lol Can you tell I'm excited?!

How many people does Mexico hold for a DP? We got engaged here and I didn't realize you could have a DP there!

Thanks everyone! We absolutely fell in love with the Odyssey when we saw it. The only problem that we foresaw with it was the Grand Gatherings held there Wednesday and Friday,as we're holding the wedding on a friday. So we were kind of in a race with Disney. Whoever could book first would get the Pavilion. Thank god Disney doesn't book Grand Gatherings a year before! So, anyone wanting to go to the Grand Gathering June 4, 2010... I'm very sorry, but it won't be available.

Very cool that you got engaged at the Mexico Vista. Was it during Illuminations? I'm not sure how many people it holds. It must be 90-100 as that's our guest list size.

So excited!!!

It was actually inside in the pavilion so the whole pavilion is special to me. : I think that's how many people we're probably going to have too.

I actually don't have any pictures of the Odyssey. I haven't been able to find any online either. It seems like other than Grand Gatherings, this pavilion isn't used that often. It's a shame too, because it's really a great place. It's got a stage and built in track lighting -- which was such a huge deal for us. I'm so excited!


The Mexico Vista, which I'm actually skeptical to call Mexico, isn't really in the Pavilion. It's right by the water, which is nice. It should be really cool.


Yeah, my DF is really getting sick of the bridal magazines. He believes that they all say the same exact things, just months apart so brides don't really notice the duplicates.

Congratulations!!!! I am so glad you got the date and locations you wanted.

After a year of bridal magazines, I have to agree with your DF! By the time us brides notice the duplicates, we're so close to getting married we don't care!

Congrats though!! How cool about the Odyssey!!
