Ugh - I don't know how I'm going to make it through 2 more days of work! I just want to LEAVE! It's been a loooong week...

2 more days!

I'm so jealous you get to go to your PS so soon! I want to go back to WDW right now! Have fun and I hope everything works out with the planning!

If anyone wants to keep up on my trip - I'm writing a live trip report here.

I'll also post the PS related stuff here - but wanted to practice a real trip report too

I AM SO EXCITED!

 

[daisygirl902]

I'm HERE!! PS tomorrow and I am soooo excited - for anyone wanting to read the details of my journey so far and see lots of pics of AKV, check out my live TR in the thread above this one!

I'l keep you all "posted" - lol...

 

[DVC Bride 2011]

Have fun!!!

OK what a great day - wow...first off I have to say I LOVE LOVE LOVE Amy and I'm so glad I got to keep her - she is awesome and I think she "gets me" which is a good feeling....I felt kind of like I was hanging out with a friend planning my wedding - but a really organized friend who knows the ins and outs of Disney weddings like crazy.

I didn't change much surprisingly...I changed the DP to the UK Upper instead of Morocco, the violinist to a guitarist, and the bottom layer of cake to Lemon with cream cheese filling. The Lemon cake is freaking A-MAZ-ING! The top layer I am sticking with the chocolate cake with peanut butter cup filling...it did not dissapoint!

And made some pretty dramatic changes to the menus....the food tasting was really an eye opener. The plan is so far:

Pre-Reception
Fruit and Pastries

Reception
Egg Station (omelets made to order)
Bacon and sausage
Cheddar and Chive hashbrowns
Crepes with cream cheese and wild berries with cream anglaise sauce (this is normally made with grand marnier but I didn't like the flavor it gave it, so the chef offered to re-create it with no grand marnier for me!)
Pasta with Artichoke Cream Sauce and julienned veggies (this was delish)
Wild Rice
Seared Chicken breast with apple, fennel, and fig jus (TO DIE FOR!)
more breads and pastries and stuff

Dessert Party:
Sunshine State Dessert Buffet (with a slight modification - taking away the strawberries and cream, cause HDDR has strawberry shortcake for dessert, and adding cream horns)
Panhandle Pecan Tarts
Key West Key Lime Tarts
Winter Haven Orange Tarts
Hastings Sweet Potato Buttons
Homestead Banana-Chocolate Brownies
Miami Guava-Cheese Pinwheels
Tarpon Springs Baklava
Cream Horns
Fresh Fruit Salad
Fruit Punch
Coffee, Decaffeinated Coffee, and Selection of Teas
Flavored Syrups and Sticks, Sugars, Cream, and Honey

All in all, it was an amazing experience - I can't believe how fast time flew by!

Laura was great as well - very easy to get along with and I think she really understands where I'm going with it all....she had great suggestions and I think she'll be able to do everything I want and stay in budget.

Very great experience....now just have to wait for the estimated BEO to see where I'm at! It's a bit scary but Amy seemed to think we could make it in at the budget I told her I have so that's reassuring!

Now off to swim off some of the massive amount of food I consumed today!

Did you get to hear the guitarist? We are having the Key West style guitarist and I really have no idea what that means. No one had a clip of him and I am just trusting in my planner.

Glad you are having a great time.

Nope - but I totally trust Amy's judgement. She told me she has heard the guitarist and knowing what she knows about me so far she thinks he'd suit our style...she's pretty great like that!

thanks I will try to get a clip at my wedding and share it with you. We are meaning to go pick up an inexpensive video camera and I have a Flip video camera too.

I have never met Amy but I just love her. I told her we have to get a picture together because she is kind of like my Maid of Honor. I don't actually have one and she puts up with all my questions, details etc.

Enjoy the rest of your trip. I can't believe I will be there in less than 2 weeks-yikes.

Thanks for posting all the details of your PS -- it sounds like it went great, and your menu sounds like it's going to be delicious!

I have to confess that I got really jealous when I read how great things are going with your planner ... I feel like I'm in the opposite place with my consultant. I get conflicting information on a constant basis and sometimes I feel like I know more than she does thanks to Carrie's book and this board! I hope once I'm assigned a planner we have a better rapport. Your post makes it so clear how important and helpful it is to have someone who understands you and where you're going with everything.

 

[DVC Bride 2011]

Your post made my mouth water! I think deciding on food is going to be so hard. I don't think we will be able to go down for a PS so we will have to go off just what the menus say. I'm so glad you're having such a great time and that your planner is so awesome! Have fun!

Keep in mind that each planner deals with most situations on a case by case basis...so even though you read it here on the boards or it was in the Passporter Book doesn't mean it's still valid info, or that it wasn't something that they just "bent the rules on" for someone. And the sales consultant isn't going to get into the details and sometimes does "glaze over" some stuff. I totally get that, and it did happen to me on some stuff...but I am also really really easygoing about most things so when things turn out not to be as I thought they would based on something I read here or on the boards I kind of just shrug my shouders and deal most of the time. It keeps me from driving myself crazy!

I do feel very lucky to have Amy, and to have kept her with me in this process even after changing to Wishes!

I totally get that (even though I'm just talking about basic stuff that I think she should be aware of -- like the names and availability of certain places, etc.), but your advice is really good. I just have to hang in there for a few more months 'til we get our planner.

i think i just gained 10 pounds reading all that food!

Sounds really great!! What exactly did you try at your tasting? I'm having mine in 3 weeks so I need to definitely come up with a menu to taste, and yours sounds really yummy. Any recommendations?
