Hello Hello 
I still owe everyone the remainder of Nov 2010 and May 2011..... but it's time again for me to go!! This trip is different, special, and thrown together in 12 weeks!!
WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!!!
So yeah, last you knew, I was having a big Disney wedding in November 2012. Well planning and waiting was stressing me out (that's a sugarcoated way of saying it
), so one night, a light bulb went off. I grabbed my calculator and my phone, texted DF and asked, "Wanna get married this November?" That Monday morning I was on the phone and had them erase the dates they were saving, canceling the photographer, the dress steamer, the spa, etc. I then booked our Memories Collection wedding for just the 2 of us on the Polynesian Beach!! No guests, just us, fun stuff, food and wine, and Christmas time! Tossing all this together in a few weeks has had me crazy--but once we get there--it'll be worth it!! 
So... I'm Deena, he's Dave. We both work 2 jobs, play softball, and enjoy dining out. Working so much can get hectic (which is why I'm behind on TR's, lol), and we enjoy 2 or 3 Disney get-a-ways per year!! It's our happy place
As some know--we normally do the DxDDP. Well we're only doing it part of the time this time--if I could book it all again I would have done it the whole time. I miss it already.
I was trying to be budget friendly. Being that we literally threw this wedding together in no time--the funds we normally would have spent on a trip were a little thinner than normal. This may make for an interesting TR because we may... GASP... be eating some (insert scary music here) counter service. We've spoiled ourselves on the DxDDP for a few years now, so it's not that we're snobs--we're just used to all Table Service. I'm also looking forward to tearing up the Food and Wine Festival!! We were always too full on the DxDDP to mess with it! I even made a spreadsheet
Ready for the Plan?
