Hi guys... I thought I would share this with you all.
When I first started my planning, the room block ordeal gave me the biggest headache!!! I was confused, and concerned that I was blocking too many, blocking too little, and what if I didnt meet my guarantee, etc... What helped was blocking by the night. I think its great that Disney has you do it this way! Anyways... I am having a custom wedding, inviting 145... counting on and budgeting for 100, give or take a few. I guaranteed Disney 50 nights and blocked out 60 (between the All-Star Sports and the Carribean Beach). So, as most of you know my wedding is March 26 (just under 5 months away!). I received my room block sheet from my EM this past weekend and I already have 47 nights blocked!! The crazy thing is, that isnt even close to half of my guests (I still need to book ours, and my parents havent even booked theirs yet). That is about 5 families. What I didnt realize is how many nights people would be going for. One family, has 2 rooms for 7 nights each. Another, 3 rooms for 5 nights each. So, needless to say... I worried for days and days for NO reason at all!!
My point to you all is, dont stress over this!!! Its easier then you think it is!!
Just a thought I wanted to share with all of you who help me on a daily basis!! What would I do without you guys!
