Okay, so we leave the hotel at 5:00, because we had to be to MK promptly at 5:30. We acutally got there at about 5:15. So we headed to Tommorowland to kill some time, I had to stall Doug.....
So at 5:30 we head towards the castle and we are walking up to the wishing well and I point to Doug the wishing well......he is like "what?"......I answer by saying what is that in that bush?
There was a big laminated card that said, "DOUG MOON TOUCH THE LAMP", nestled in the bushes around the wishing well was a small genie lamp, attached to it was a card that read, "By touching the lamp you have set me free! I have taken the liberty of choosing three honeymoon wishes for you. My first wish is a wish for something sweet, just like Winnie - the - Pooh. Experience Pooh's ride then search for your wish behind the biggest plush Pooh's in the Thotful Shop"
Attached to the clue was two fast passes for Winnie the Pooh.
At this point Doug is kinda freaking out "Oh my God, you arent doing anything embarassing are you?"....... "What is all of this?"........ "Tell me".......
I just smiled and told him to follow his wishes...
So we head to Winnie the Pooh and as we get in line the person checking fast passes says, " Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Moon" (We had nothing on that would indicate we were just married....OR our names.....disney magic
)
We ride the ride and the whole time Doug is just in a puzzled daze, it was great. We get off the ride and go into the Thotful Shop.....we search behind the biggest Pooh in the store and find the second wish. Attached to the wish is a lime green bag with chocolate disney truffles in a tin box. The card read, " Enjoy these sweets! Your second wish is hidden on a Christmas Tree in a place called Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe"
So we head over to the Christmas Shop and start searching the trees. Now for those of you that have been in there, there is like 12 trees in that store. So we are digging through these trees to find this clue. I notice a girl in the corner that has been at every spot we have been at, so while Doug is looking after about 5 mins, I kinda glance over at her, and she slyly points me to the right tree.....so I nonchalantly pull Doug to the vicinity, and he finally finds it.
(FYI - when you do a project through GOAL, they always have a person watching you to help you if you get stuck at some point, this was not a crazy stalker following us around the park)
So he pulls the lime green string ou of the tree and attached to it is a key to a locker at the front of the park, and a note in a envelope that says, "Oh no! I forgot to tell you not to open this! The wish has escaped to a locker in front of the park; a locker enchanted to not open until after 7:30 tonight. Keep this key so you can open the locker at that time"
7:30? But it is only 6:15........CONVENIENTLY...we have ressies at CRT!
So we head to the castle and check in for our ressies...."Oh congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Moon!"....we head inside and have our picture with our beautiful hostess......
We then take a seat and wait...
"Ladies and Gentleman........we would like to welcome the Moon Family, and give this couple a round of applause, because they are celebrating a wonderful moment......their honeymoon!" People clap and whiste and congratulate us.
Then our host says, "Cinderella has instructed me to save only the best seat in the house for her special guests." He hands us our ticket and sends us upstairs......
Once we get upstairs, we hand our ticket to the seater person, and she says,"Ohhhhh I see you get the best seat in the house.....follow me."
So we do....
and they take us to a table front and center of the room, right beside the window.......ahhhh....fairy tales do come true....
Our waiter comes to the table and takes our order....
Doug - Salad, Roasted Chicken and Mousse cake
Me - Corn and Crab Bisque (amazing), Cheese Tortellini, and blueberry buckle
He also gives us our "gift" of ecthed chapmagne glasses.
We enjoy our meal and then the lights dim and here comes the gang!
Our fairy god mother announced our wedding ad honeymoon and says, "when did you get married?"
i say, "yesterday"
She turns and looks at everyone, and says, "yesterday!" Everyone claps and when that dies down she says, "Well then what are you doing here dear?"
Then everyone laughs at us.......
Once we finish dinner we leave the castle. We come out the front and the first float of the Spectromagic Parade is rounding the corner at the front gate, so we perch ourselves in a bird's eye view position and enjoy the parade.....and this is Doug's ABSOLUTE favorite thing at Disney, I always knew it but I was shocked at how he reacted......He starts dancing......DANCING!
My husband God bless him cannot dance, he looked like a fool, but he was having the time of his life......so I danced too.....people were laughing at us and smiling. Then a couple from CRT stops me and says, "Did you get married at the Boardwalk?" I told her we had and she says, "Oh we saw you yesterday and thought everything was sooo beautiful", and said ever since then she had been bugging her BF for a Disney wedding.....too sweet
So once we are done with the parade and getting our groove on we head to the lockers to fetch the last wish.....
Inside the locker is a pack of 12 canldes, mickey wine glasses, and a disney CD. The note reads, "The third wish I have chosen for you is the wish for a romantic night back at your hotel. Something to go with these glasses will be waiting for you. Have a wonderful evening and honeymoon! Congratulations!"
So we waited to watch Wishes at the front of the park and then we headed back to POFQ.....we went to the concierge and picked up our "package delivery". We got this beautiful read wine box and a bottle of pinot grigio (our fave) to go with our mickey glasses.
Then we headed to our room to make our own Disney magic......
I have to say, that GOAL wa snot cheap, but was SOOOOOO worth it. Once we got back to our room my DH started tearing up and said that that was the most fun, romantic, and meaningful thing anyone has ever done for him. He gushed and gushed about it.....and still does.
That night was the most magical night I have EVER had in Disney. It was like the stars aligned. We got start treatment, and through the wishes hunt, felt like we had MK to ourselves, because we had our little "secret" that no one else was in on.
Jane at GOAL was amazing to work with and made things so easy and carefree.
That night will forever be in mine and DH's memory as one of the best nights of our lives.
Wonderful.....wonderful......
I miss having you around!!
I could not have asked for better weather. It was about mid seventies, and the humidity was not your average Florida humidity. I wore my hair practically down and did not feel sweaty at all. And i am by nature a sweaty person. I sweat in the winter....
