So on Thursday, March 26th, DF, my mom and I headed down to Jacksonville. We all had to work that morning and decided we would drive most of the way that night and continue on to Orlando early the next morning and meet FMIL at the airport! I drove most of the way as I was WIDE awake for some strange reason. It was an easy drive and we were in Orlando by 11AM on Friday! We had reservations at the Sheraton Vistana Villages as DF and I both work for Starwood Hotels & Resorts and got a great deal on a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom villa! We headed to the resort just to check it out and were pleasantly surprised that our villa was ready!!! The place was huge and gorgeous! It was so clean and a 5 minute drive to Disney. I usually stay on Disney property but I would highly recommend the Sheraton Vistana Village if deciding to stay off property. Anyway, here are some pics...

So after getting settled FMIL gave me a small gift and it was a "Bride Surivival Kit" that she had made, it included a beautiful handkercheif that was once her mothers. It was so completely thoughtful, I loved it. After that we headed for some lunch at Firehouse Subs then went tux shopping!!! We headed to MW Tux but we had a specific tan color in mind as my bridesmaids are wearing chocolate brown and I will be in ivory. Unfortunately, they did not carry anything at all in that color so off to Carolyn Allen's we went!
Wow, do I love that place! Keith and his wife and family are all amazing! They were so welcoming and helpful! Keith told a bunch of stories and had us all laughing the whole time. They had exactly what we wanted and the process was so easy! They will also be coming the morning of the wedding to steam my and all the girls dresses! Here is what we picked for the guys:
This exact suit:
This tie but in chocolate brown and ivory:
DF will be the only one wearing the vest, the rest of the guys will just have an ivory shirt and tie with the suit! After Carolyn Allen's we went grocery shopping and had dinner then crashed so we could be up early for our day in the parks!!!
