[Jessbell34]

Wow you have done so much to prepare for this wedding!! I love your dress!! I love pick-up dresses!! Your welcome gifts and bags turned out great too. I bet you are getting so excited. The last 2 weeks FLEW by for me!! Im so jealous-- i havent been to Disney since the wedding back in 2006. Im so ready for another trip!! I cant wait to read your TR so I can pretend for a brief moment that Im back there..

Thank you so much Maggie! I think it is time for another Disney trip for you! I know you must have been busy with your house lately! Congratulations on that big accomplishment. I can't wait for the time when DF and I can buy a house. I need to be patient (he keeps telling me), just one step at a time! Thank you for visiting my PJ, you have know idea how much that means to me. I can't wait to make my wedding and honeymoon memories, so I can try to start a TR as wonderful as yours.

Don't worry it will be here before you know it, in the mean time just enjoy the panning!! Everything looks great!

Thanks... I know it will get here soon. I think I am also getting Disney withdrawals too. It has been over a year since we have been there and usually we go about every 9-11 months. This is the longest time frame that we have gone without WDW. I am also getting so excited because it will be the first trip to Disney for the majority of my guests. I just think it is going to be so magical being there with our families for the first time. I can't wait to see my little sister's face when she sees the castle for the first time, or get my dad's reaction after he experiences Mickey's Philharmagic, or my mom's tears when I walk down the isle... I could go on and on. The are so many experience that I am looking forward to with this trip. Getting, for the first time, the chance to see Disney through the eyes of my loved ones (other than my DF and I). I am so excited!!!

Oh, I am getting very excited! My wedding is just two weeks from today! I bet you are getting excited too! Your wedding is only 23 days away! Wow! Can you believe it?

 

[IndyBride]

It is almost time, how exciting! Your welcome folder and newsletter look so good and organized. Can I ask what is on the trip cards? Thanks!

Thank you so much! I spent a lot of time and stress on those folders. I am so glad they are finished!

The "Trip Cards" consist of a card representing each Disney park. Each park card has a check list of all of the attractions that my guests wil find at that park. So, I am encouraging them to highlight their "must" attractions and then they can carry those cards in their pocket or wallet and it will help guide them to the attractions that they definitely don't want to miss. And it will also help save time by skipping the attractions that they know they won't be interested in. I'm hoping the cards will also spark conversation within the small families, so they know which attractions each family member will not want to miss. It was just an extra goodie I wanted to include for my guests.

Oh what a great idea! I might have to borrow that.

OMG, I feel the same way!! We go every 3 months (yes, I know we are crazy or at least my co-workers think so) but we haven't gone since February (I know not a very long time) but it's killing me waiting until July!!! It will be the first time for alot of my family too. My brother, who is walking me down the aisle, was only 5 years old the last time he went. He is now 23!! I think I'm more excited about seeing his reaction to everything than the VR!

I'm so excited for you! I can't wait until your wedding day because that means I will be only 1 month away!

Jessica-your folders with all the information are great! Nice job! wont be long now!

 

[Jessbell34]

Yahoo! I finally finshed all of my welcome bags and gifts for my guests. I also made some t-shirts for my DF and I to wear. I will post some pictures of all the goodies later. I am so excited I am finished! Oh, and I leave in only 5 days!

 

[lov2b@disney]

yay Jessica!

5 days! We leave in 4

i went to the disney store friday and found some of those cute pins! Thanks for the tip!

 

[Jessbell34]

Okay, so I have finished my welcome bags, welcome folders, etc… This weekend I also finished all of my personal gifts for my close family and friends. I also got a hair this weekend and made some fun Disney wedding shirts for DF and myself. Oh, and I created a fun Disney bride duffle bag too. I am so excited for the days to click away and for it to be Disney time. My DF and I leave Friday morning early. We are driving from southwest Missouri, we will probably drive for about 10-11 hours and stop somewhere in Georgia on Friday night. Saturday we will wake up early and drive all the way to Disney. I am planning to make it there by noon and hit the Magic Kingdom first thing. I don’t feel like I am at Disney until I see Cinderella’s castle. My DF thinks I am crazy.

I cannot believe it is almost here already. It is so surreal. All I have left to do this week is major laundry and packing, packing, packing. I need to sit down and make a detailed list of everything we have to pack. We will be gone for about 2 weeks, so I am going to have to pack a lot more than I am use to. I am afraid I am going to have to do laundry at least once during our trip… or have laundry service done for us by Disney. I just can’t imagine lugging all of our dirty clothes around with us on our cruise and back to Disney again without washing them at least once. Has anyone ever taken advantage of the laundry service available at the resorts or the Disney Cruise Line? Well here are a few of my creations from the weekend. I am posting a few of the gift boxes that I will be giving my sister and my friends, but I am not picturing the gifts yet because a few of them read this thread and I don’t want to spoil it for them. I also made some charms that contain pictures of my grandparents and one picture of DF and me. I think I am going to attach them to my bouquet or my garter. I haven’t decided. I really want them on my bouquet, but I don’t know how well they will attach to the Tussy Mussy bouquet since the holder is a solid material. We will just have to play it by ear.

yay Jessica!

5 days! We leave in 4

I can't believe it Sandy! Are you ready??? I am so ready for it to be here. I am not going to enjoy the packing part so much, but it is a must! I wish we were leaving on Thursday too. I also wish were flying so we would get there faster. I am afraid the drive down will seem extra long since there are so many special events happening this time. Well, have fun packing. I hope your travel down it wonderful.

somehow I only just found your PJ (yeah, thats what happens at 1am), but I'm so excited for you! everything looks great!!

Do you think I could "borrow" your trip card ideas? I made this big 56 page booklet, but I'd like something people can carry? Do you think you could send me yours and I could use it as a template? I promise not to plagiarize!!

 

[lov2b@disney]
