[tinks_1989]

GORILLA POD!!!!

My advice would be to buy it!

I second that we got ours for £3 off ebay and its brilliant I have never seen it cheaper then £20 here in the UK

Love your trip Jen I love how you keep us waiting checking every time I log on to see if you are updating

 

[DisneyBrideToni]

Wow I can't believe all that Wilderness Lodge nonsense you guys had to go through. I would have killed those kids banging on the door in the morning! I don't understand why parents don't watch their kids.

I hope everything gets resolved for you guys although from your next day teaser it doens't sound too good!!!!

 

[malibustacey]

It doesnt sound good does it!! .......

So Vinny.... did you like all the prezzies that Jenny gave you!!??? How good and thoughtful is your wife! hehe - I bet you was like everytime you got a prezzie!!

It was pretty embarassing. There was a man behind me and I knew I was making a scene but it was almost 2am and that wasnt fair!

Did I mention they asked us to complete a online survey. Any space we could write in we did! So many crazy things happened at that hotel I cant wait to get into them all

 

[Mrsdisneyb2b]

Hi Everyone!

So Vins back at work today...

AND PUTTING IN HIS TWO WEEKS NOTICE!​

He starts September 9th (The same day as my first day) And we are so so excited. He really is happy with the union. In three years, they will pay for both he and I to get our masters! Im sure that means great benefits for our kids when we have them...YEARS from now

I wrote in my other journal that our closet system collapsed. It looked like a mountain of clothes and books and such all piled up in the walk in closet...whoops.... So one step back...but thats okay because...

Vin called in sick yesterday and we got to go for dinner to celebrate our One Month! YAY. Cheesy yes but- it was nice. So strange that 11 and 17 follow us around so much. Yesterday was his orientation-one month from our wedding so cool! lol

Okay enough blabber. Im working on Day Three...which you may consider rahter boring but there is totally a "HUH" factor with the hotel again...

You know, I totally think they should give us a honeymoon re-do and let us rate them again...lol

 

[figmentfan814]

I'll definitely understand your frustration at the hotel. On our honeymoon in Hawaii we had to ask to switch rooms after 3 nights of listening to yelling, blaring music, and just an array of loud noises through the paper thing walls of our resort. We actually made them move us at night around 11:30 p.m. and asked for a room with no one on either side of us, it was heavenly to finally get some sleep

I tricked people into trying Beverly at our wedding too. I said in one of our newsletters to make sure to try it out (as a test to see if anyone actually read the newsletters) and I had 4 or 5 people tell me they couldn't understand why I liked it

I love seeing your shots in Epcot, definitely my favorite park. Looking forward to more and btw congrats Vin!

 

[malibustacey]

yay for the job Vin! I bet it feels great to hand in your notice!!

and the 1 month is not cheesy at all! you need to go celebrate every month! hehe any excuse to go out!

Have you made an official complaint to Disney & the Honeymoons department?? You totally should write up the biggest complaint letter and demand some kind of compensation after all that you went through!

Its worth trying as they might give you something, and dont just accept an apology letter- after all, how many $$$$$$$ did you spend on your hotel and in the parks- PLUS it was your Honeymoon! The least they can do is give you something for free?

heh let us know if you do write a letter!

 

[msGAJeepgurl]

Ok now I'm scared about the WL. Our Disneymoon is in only 3 and a half weeks!!! Either way I'm enjoying the TR, its helping to take my mind off of pre-wedding jitters. Never thought I'd get these.

Camera question: you mention the gorilla pod. What kind of pod did you use & what kind of camera? I'm worried that it wont be able to support the camera DF & I have.

Congrats Vin on the wonderful work news, and congrats on your 1 month - its not cheesy at all!!!

I loved it too. Originally vin wanted to get married in Japan or Morocco but we see how that turned out- so this surprise was definitely for him

How was hawaii? Was it extremely pricey? Vin and I want to travel a bit for the next two years before we have kids... hmm

I know but i wouldnt even know where to send the letter as I may start crying when writing it (Or as I began to laugh and pee myself with the closet i may snort some bogies on it) lmao...

If I was to write they may never let me go back

No no. Are you staying in the Honeymoon suite? If you are demand - and call- and make sure that you are not by the old faithful area- thats all!!

Yes gorilla pod let me check

 

[Disney-Kim]

Oh I really hope you liked your 2nd room better

we have had bad luck on trips before and never got the perfect room but then other times we have moved and it was bliss....but I have to say that be careful of what you wish for because the 2nd room isn't always better....like gee there was a reason it was open
I really hope this isn't your story, my fingers are crossed

Sorry Jenny, I've been behind and just got caught up on your report. My kids started school on Wed. and as you know it has been a little crazy around here.
I am soooo sorry about your experience at WL! Not that I have any control over it or anything, but I do feel bad for you and Vin. We have stayed there three times and have had nothing but the best service, but we never stayed on the 7th floor. There is no sense in people letting their kids run around and act like little vermits even if they are on vacation. And the Lodge should have a timer on that t.v. to shut off at a decent hour. I also don't understand why they would place a honeymoon suite beside a childs play area. You are a lot more patient than I am, don't feel bad for your breakdown because they had it coming.

Lovin your report and your pics are great! Congratulations to Vin for the new job! Good luck with the closet, that happened to us once. Makes it easier to put things away, just open the door and toss it on the pile!

 

[figmentfan0724]

love the report so far! Can't believe about WL....That is totally where we want to stay for ours next year! Can't wait for the next installment!

 

[scottny]

Hi,
Just found your tr and really enjoying it. What a nightmare with the kids and tv.

Congrats on the new job.

The Illumniations cruise looked like fun, might try it sometime.

Looking forward to more.

It really depends on how you do a trip to Hawaii on whether or not it will cost you a fortune. We went to two islands - Maui and Oahu - which added a lot of extra cost because we had airfare back and forth. All together we were in Hawaii for 8 nights and spent around $4K which included all of our accomodations, car rental for part of the time, food, hotel, and flights there and between the islands. The rooms are super expensive. We've said if we ever go back it would be nice to travel with another couple to cut down on expenses. I see great deals all the time for short 4 and 5 night get aways to Oahu though, so I know you can do it for a lot less than we paid

LOL thats actually a good idea! lol

We really didnt get it either. I was shocked because my reading on the WL for the last TWO years has been one of happy, wonderful memories. Its rated like, the best out of all the resorts. Some say that it could be because of the cutbacks. Maybe...but I dont think that makes a difference withthe TV at all. I mean- it had to be loud to be woken up by screaming on TV right?

Im glad you guys see we arent the "WE HAVE A PROBLEM" type of people who look for anything to complain about. There was a couple however there when we were there who complained about not getting served in ten minutes-that they were waiting for ten minutes after they were seated and demanded a free breakfast. Made me scared that what we did was similar-but I dont think it is...phew!

love the report so far! Can't believe about WL....That is totally where we want to stay for ours next year! Can't wait for the next installment!

Dont stay CL. Other than that it was such a beautiful resort!

Aww...well thanks so much for reading so far! Im sorry that we havnt been able to update recently-so so much going on and were hoping after labor day it will alll calm down (Wedding weekend!)

Definitely do the illuminations. It was absolutely unbelieveable. I kid you not- it was wonderful and I think if we have the funds I may do it next year with my mom!

Today, I saw a special out of Detroit for 4 nights that was like $1,000 per person for air and hotel, so I know there are specials out there. A meet sounds like fun, how about when the DVC resort opens over there

We booked a standard room because well, we're broke, so hopefully we'll be good. My DF was impressed with you and your DH's patience.

Thank you for checking the gorilla pod for me
