Thanks so much!

I'm getting ready to go to WDW tomorrow, I can't wait. I'm going to stop by Fulton's to see the room in person and also visit the Crescent Terrace at the Swan. I've seen pictures galore, but want to see it in real life.

 

[KristinBelle]

Great site!

 

[Chilly]

have a great trip

 

[happybratpack]

Wooohooo, I'm so excited I finally heard from my assigned event planner. She rocks, totally helpful and really patient. (which she needs with me)

We've confirmed the Marina, she said she really likes the venue and that it turns out so nice which calmed my nerves about it. She said she did a party recently w/o the Wishes music piped in and it was fine, but I think I'm going to do it anyway.

If Wishes is at 10, we'll do 8-9 reception food, 9-10 desserts and then watch Wishes.


For the Epcot Dessert Party the following are available:
UK Upper & Lower
Smaller areas in Italy & France

She did mention they like to hold the Lower UK for bigger parties so I feel kind of bad requesting that since we're under 30.

Any input on choosing an Epcot location would be great!

 

[pezaddict231]

That's so exciting!

Glad she reassured you about the Marina (since I'm using it too ) I do like it better than Sago just because it's wider and more open and that area of the Grand Floridian is so pretty!

When we were considering an Epcot party I was thinking about the locations in Italy and France, so I think either would be great! Will you be able to visit the Epcot locations? That might help you decide.

 

[Boardwalk_bride]

I agree! Though I haven't been to either Sago Cay or the Marina, from the pics I have seen, the Marina looks nicer if you are going to use it more formally (like to actually sit down and eat).

I have no idea what Epcot venues are best, but it is great that you have so many choices!!!

Besides, that fountain always makes me have to go to the bathroom so I'm forever running to Morocco.

Cake is pending above plans...and I wonder if I'm the only one who craves wedding cake during this entire procedure?!

Well, Fulton's sent me all of their information and I really think that's the way we're going to go for the reception. Here's the photo they sent of the area we would be in, plus we would have the outside deck as well which I really like.

I haven't seen the pics of the Bow yet, but I like the lounge in that it looks "finished" and doesn't need a bunch of decorating. Geez, I sound so cheap.

-Called today and made the group discount arrangements with both American Airlines and Airtran since almost everyone will be flying in.

-Decided on red for the main color

Well, I just read your entire P.J. thus far because I love the Swan, Fultons, and Epcot, lol. Sooo:

Hahaha to the fountain.

Wow, that bird's-eye-view is pretty!

You are not alone. Even my countdown for my P.S. says Time for Cake! LOL. I have actually been dying for that part since I was w/the b/f before DF, lol.

Fulton's looks beautiful! I've been there, but only for a reg. dinner in the reg. dinner area, so I never knew it could look like this! and think w/all your guests dressed up! So nice!

Haha, you're not alone w/"sounding cheap" either. DF&I are having our reception at Ariel's, and pretty much everyone who's seen the pictures love it because it already has a theme, yet is not overwhelming so we can still add little touches.

You can make group discount arrangements w/American Airlines?

Red is my main color too!

Love your website btw!

 

[happybratpack]

Wow, I haven't been here in what seems like forever.

Wedding plans have been put on the back burner these last few months but now we're ready to get things going again.

We're looking for a new option for the ceremony itself so that's top of the list now.

 

[happybratpack]

OK, Save the Dates proofs are back and ready to be printed! We're doing them on pearl white paper (with a shimmer) and with red shimmer envelopes.

So excited!

Few things since last time I posted...

1. Confirmed the 3rd exterior deck at Fulton's for the ceremony today, now just have to work on the menu for lunch.

2. After much deliberation have decided to use my sister for the cake. She actually has a bakery here in the Dallas area but will be able to do this there somehow. I'm not asking, not sure I want to know details but she's guaranteeing me I'll like it. I sent her the pics of the ones I like so we shall see. :::deep breath, deep breath:::

3. Save the Date's have been ordered and are on the way soon. Woohooo!
Still need to order seals, I think I'll order personalized Mickey icon ones.

4. Waiting to hear back from Disney on Epcot options that are still open, hopefully that will be today. I'd like to have dinner and dessert, she suggested doing dinner indoor somewhere at Epcot then doing the dessert party. Need more details on what's available though.

5. I had a dream that we were at the wedding and only like 3 people showed up. I hope it's not a sign of things to come.

Everything sounds wonderful!
Can't wait to hear more.

I think I've decided on this dress for Hallie, my stepdaughter. I think she'll love it!

Now I'm trying to figure out what shoes.

We made a few changes to the Save the Dates, too and hoping to have them printed this week.

We've also ended up making the final decision of Italy for our Illuminations Party.

It's only 6 months away! I'm excited!!!

Hi! I had to come over and read your PJ when I saw you are using the GF marina! Everything sounds great so far! How did you like the Swan and Dolphin when you stayed there? Me and DF are staying there for our PS in December. Also, are you doing a DP at the GF marina? Or a dinner? I would love the hear the details. Looking forward to reading more!
