Hey Everyone,

I had mainly been a lurker with a few posts here and there but thought I should finally introduce myself here lol.

My name is Jayson, and my wife is a member here as well. We were married this past March 27 at the wedding pavillion. We had our cocktail hour in Italy Isola in Epcot and our reception just across the way in American Adventure. It was a beautiful celebration with just the right amount of Disney magic.

Disney World was actually our first vacation together and it felt fitting that we make our vows there as well. Plus, she LOVES Disney with a passion incomparable to most. Our first visit was in 2005, and we have been back at least once a year ever since. Instead of flying, we always opt to drive ourselves down with the dog from New York. As dreadful as this may seem to some, it is actually a lot of fun to make stops and view some sites on the way. It only takes about 15 or 16 hours, which isn't too bad. 3 3/4 fuel fill ups and we're there! :wizard:

Anyway, here we are in one my favorite pictures from our wedding during Illuminations in Epcot.
Just wanted to say Hi! and wanted to ask if there is anyone else here from the Tri-state NY area?

:welcome: That is an awesome picture. I'm glad you decided to join your wife here on the DIS.

Thank you! I am happy to be here. It has been a while since I have been active on a discussion board or forum. I can say for certain that this is by far the happiest one I have been a part of thanks to the mouse ::MickeyMo

Welcome to the DIS!! Great Picture!! Another Long Islander here!

Woohoo! What part of Long Island if you don't mind me asking?

Hey, Jayson, welcome from Hicksville!!!

We're returning to Disney in August, and we can't wait!

But we're not as brave as you... we'll be flying. I can see driving DOWN. But the return trip? With 3 kids in the van?

Nope. Jetblue, here we come!
 
Welcome to the Dis! That's an adorable picture of you and your wife! Getting married at Disney is my dream!

We are in Hicksville from time to time at the Broadway Mall or IKEA lol. Well, mainly IKEA but we usually trickle into the Mall since it's connected to visit the Deeney store! That's what my wife calls it with a gleaming glow on her face everytime lol.

Exactly! We always enjoy the drive down because of the excitement involved but the trip back is ALWAYS blah, and with 3 kids i can just imagine... We are not quite there yet but we are expecting a baby boy in 4 months. I'll keep you updated on how it goes with just the one :thumbsup2

Jetblue is great, the time we did fly down (our first trip together), it was with Blue.

Thank you, much appreciated... That is one of the better ones we had, you should see some of the others where neither of us could make a proper smile at the same time :laughing:

You CAN have a Disney dream wedding and you WILL... It is surprisingly not as complex or expensive as some people would expect it to be, but that depends on how many toppings you want of course! lol We opted for a wedding on a budget with just the right amount of magical goodness.
The greatest challenge is getting all of your friends and family to actually haul their butts down there.

Congrats on your upcoming arrival!!!!

Yeah, Broadway mall is our home away from home.

And I'm really hoping Jetblue lowers its August fares pretty soon; my kids ADORE Jetblue (free snacks and each seat has its own TV.) My husband and I love that "first bag flies free" policy!)

Congrats on the upcoming new addition and Welcome from Hauppauge! I just proposed to my now fiance on our last trip and we wish we could have a wedding down in the World, but we won't be able to (luckily we both still have grandparents, unfortunately neither of our grandfathers can fly anymore).

:welcome:

We always fly out of Islip when we can. I don't think it gets any easier than flying out of there. It's awesome to be able to wake up at 6:15 AM for a 7:30 AM flight and not feel the least bit rushed. Enjoy your trip! :thumbsup2
 
Welcome! I grew up on Long Island but recently moved to eastern PA. Still go back a lot to visit family :goodvibes

Good for you with driving down... I usually fly but we have driven a few times. Still unsure about what we will do on our next trip...

Hello Holbrook! lol

I used to work in Holtsville, think it is the same exit.

Have a safe trip!
