Surprisingly Trash the Dress photography is something that was invented in the UK,but is better known and more common in the USA. The idea behind it is that the bride gets to wear her dress one last time and get it dirty or even damage it. Trash the Dress photo shoots often involve water and sand and often take place in pools, on beaches or in the sea. However, any unusual location will do. My photographer has done previous Trash the Dress sessions at a rubbish dump, a derelict factory and in a garage ( the kind that fixes cars ). They are quite artistic. When I first explored this idea, I had visions of the hotel pool and fountains. At some stage Jennifer said that it would be fun to do it at Mickey's Halloween Party at Disneyland and it involved from there. This is not the dress that I am going to wear for the vow renewal though.

Thanks for the info. I had never heard of that.

So last night I worked my 1st overnight The work part of it was fine, it was quiet like I expected. However, I had a hard time making myself go to sleep...I slept only 1 hr before work 5pm-6pm I was a zombie the whole night. I came home and slept from about 7:50am-11:00am. Have to do the overnight again tonight, so I am hoping to sleep from about 6pm-10pm? Thats the plan.

Only 13 more days to go! I am totally looking forward to this vacation No stress, no work, NOTHING can get me down about this trip, Scott only being there 3 days is better than nothing, I'm not letting it get me down

As much as I love him and wish he was on the trip I know we wouldn't be doing rope drop on Sunday, I wouldn't be taking the spa time for myself on Monday, so I have to look at it that way.

Hope you get some sleep.

Hi
To all of us left behind from WDW!

...my DS is too....just got his diploma in the mail on Saturday! He's waiting for the final word from his interview two weeks ago....keeping fingers crossed!

Friends, I am in need of some other people's perspective. I have anxiously awaited October for about five months to be able to use my 11 month window to book September 2012. It needed to be as close to the beginning of September as possible due to work situations. I will be taking my brother, his wife, and my mother as a nice family vacation. My brother and his wife have both not gone for over ten years. So, the plan was to get two deluxe studio concierge level rooms. It is less points to get two studios than to get a two bedroom so that's the reasoning behind that. Concierge level so that we would save some money on food and beverages. For any who have not done concierge it is well worth the money (if you're paying cash) and the point difference is minimal. The only problem being, I was told when I tried to get one for my March trip that they only have 5 concierge studios at a time, so I had to call as early as possible. Well I tried calling Saturday (for 9/1), and they didn't have any available. I did call late in the day so that was my fault, but the CM told me there were four available at that time for the whole week starting 9/3, and he advised to call right at 9 am. So, I set my calendar and alarm to make sure I called right when they opened, and after some confusion on the CM's part I did get both rooms. HOORAY!!! However, I called my mother to let her know the good news and she goes to write it in her calendar at work, and she says 'Pamela, you do know that is Labor Day weekend don't you? flights will be pretty high' My heart sinks, I just waited for months to be able to call, there were some pretty scary moments on the phone this morning that I thought we had lost one room because the CM was not quite awake yet, and then I accidentally book it on Labor Day!? So, the question is this, do I try to change it later this week, because I still need it to be early in September, or should I leave it as is? Does anyone know about flights during that time of the year? I'm thinking if I can book the flights early enough I should be able to get them pretty reasonably priced. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

And I'm so excited for those traveling soon, and those already down at our beloved AKL

I was going to say you should just keep it as is.

I had to come back to our room for a bit to cool off and take a shower.... I am just not ready for all the humid air.

Fun so far, crowds much better today, but the heat may be keeping everyone away.

Looking forward to the sun going down.

We got kicked last week by the heat when we were there. Made it back to the pool one day and loved it. The other two days we just kept going and boy did we feel it later.

my friends.... I would love to have a little prayer coming my way and to my uncle.

My Uncle died today. This is my mom's brother and he has been sick a good while, he had a foot amputated last week and then passed away yesterday.

Three years ago when David and I where here in WDW my mom died. This is the second family member that has died while we have been here.... Weird, but I try not to let it get to me.

David's uncle passed away in August and it was so hard on us and now mine, just a tragic summer..


Thanks for letting me vent..

Brandi,

I'm so sorry for your loss. I will keep you and your uncle in my prayers.

And I swear the rain is following us down from CT.

Still, a scattered shower or two may actually be NICE. Just hoping the T-storms predicted for Tues the 11th hold off or end around the Magic Kingdom. That's our MNSSHP date.

Well...the next time I sign onto the thread...we'll be in Florida (hopefully!).

Just some final touches on the car packing and then we'll be out the door (about noon) to run some errands. Then we pick the kids up at 1.

See ya all later!

I'm so sorry. It is so hard to lose loved ones.

 

[Pinkocto]

Thanks I am now in total agreement with everyone's wonderful advice. I am surprised at myself for panicking, no need to. I should have been relishing in the moment of getting what I wanted now I'll relish!

Brandi so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
