I can't believe it's here already, but we're leaving on Sunday for our vacation/planning session!!! I'm so excited I can hardly sit still.

I have a list of questions to ask, but I'm worried that I'll forget to look at or ask about something and I'll be kicking myself for the next 7 months. WHat questions did you ask or did you wish you'd asked at your planning session?

Must be so exciting for you!! :cheer2:

Have a safe and fun time!!

Oddly enough, my list of questions wasn't nearly as helpful as my list of notes and ideas for myself - I took that to the planning session as well as the questions and actually went through them with Pam page by page and she gave me her input.

I definitely recommend you take your notes as well as your questions, and bring a pen to take additional notes or jot down questions that pop into mind as you are talking.

Also helpful for us was we went around looking at certain locations before our planning session and we took lots of pictures so as we continue planning from here we can refresh our memories. HTH & have a great trip!
 
Congrats! They will walk you through every step, every bit of your wedding. From the rehearsal, to the ceremony, the music, who will walk down the aisle, the order, the seating arrangements at the ceremony, the exit. They will go over all the transportation. The reception, everything from food to favors, to music and of course cake. One thing I didn't realize, you will need to designate a responsible person to make sure certain things happen and that your coordinator can go to, for example we are bringing our own champagne glasses.. Disney will wash and box them up, and then give them to the B'maid we designated for safe keeping. She will also be responsible for our cake knife and stuff. Our planner actually wrote this in our BEO. So, basically, if you can think about your entire wedding, walk through the whole thing.. take notes on what you want, and don't want.. give them a list of what is really important to you.

Bring lots and lots of pictures of all your ideas, your dress, your bridesmaids dresses, centerpieces, cake, anything that can help them get an idea of what type of wedding you want, what kind of look you want, and if you can leave the pictures with them. Bring fabric samples for the floral dept if you can as well, so they can try to match to your colors. Our floral person really appreciated that we brought the pictures, it really helped her narrow down and give her a good idea of what we wanted, and she was thrilled when we said she could keep them.

If you haven't already, give your planner a list of the cake flavors you want to taste! .. and if you can have a good idea of what style cake you want, and what topper if any you want.

Have fun,

Thanks for the posts - all are extremely helpful as we get set to leave. I didn't realize I could request cake flavors to try. DF is NUTS about peanutbutter, so I'd better see what options there are for us to try in that theme! :)

We're both SO excited - 90 hours until we leave!

I'll post a planning session report when we get back!

Thanks again!
