LURKYLOO's Wedding Trippie: Morocco/Attic/Lower UK: Wedding Album + Gown Preservation

[pjstevens]

Carrie,

I just got caught up again! Wow, now I want to do CRT during out 2nd honeymoon trip in September! You are a beautiful bride, but I can understand the disappointment with the MK shots. You are so far off in some, that if you try to zoom in, it's all grainy. NOT what a $1k photo shoot should look like. You do have some amazing shots and of course all those absolutely wonderful Roots shots!

Oh, btw, got my hats yesterday. Now I have to make some time to try to reconstruct my bride/groom ears onto the caps. They are very comfy and I'm so glad I got them. I cannot wear sunglasses, so a hat with a visor is the only thing that helps me in the hot sun.

I think the entire DIS is held up with Hollywood Fashion Tape!

Damn! That's some good stuff!

Among my other “naportunities” were Carousel of Progress and the Peoplemover (I have a feeling it is called something different these days... Tomorrowland Transit Authority? Boooooring!!).

YAY someone else calls it the Peoplemover!!! When DF and I were in WDW in April we were looking for the entrance to the Peoplemover and a CM was looking at us like we were crazy? However, I will have to say they sped it up a little and now is not nearly as good of a "naportunity", though still up there. Your pics are wonderful and I'm loving your TR! Thanks for posting all this!

Hooray! I can't wait to see how they turn out. I hear ya on the visor - Disney would make a mint if they started selling hats with ears and visors!

Damn! That's some good stuff!

So glad you're enjoying the trippie! I don't get why they changed the name from Peoplemover to something as dull as the Tomorrowland Transit Authority - talk about a naportunity!!!

MORE! MORE! MORE!!! I have been desperately awaiting more TR!!!!

Oh, Carrie! I meant to tell you -- I bought a REALLY cute pink baseball cap that says "Bride" and I am going to figure out how to attach my Minnie bride ears to that. Hopefully, I can wear it during the half-marathon! FUN!!

That's what I've done but my cap is white. I'm going to have to wait until we get to WDW for the wedding to try and 'doctor' the ears as you can't get them in the UK and they are really expensive online.

I'm going to see if DH feels like doing a little tutorial we can post online. The trick is to get the slits in the right place on the ball cap. Then you just push the metal tabs through and cover them with felt.

More trippie on the way... !

I was at our local Disney store yesterday (that I just found out is closing and I am so upset) and they had Mickey ears that they were giving away - free. Instead of saying Walt Disney World on them they have the symbol for the Disney Store. They gave me two hats and I am planning taking the ears off one and making DF a Mickey Groom Baseball hat - so any tutorial would be great. I just checked back through your report to find a picture and am printing it out to use as a sample.

Thanks,
Linda

 

[lurkyloo]

Great tip about the free ears, Linda!

OK, so I talked to DH, and apparently I got the process all wrong - he actually just cut the ears off the cap, leaving a margin of the felt hat material at the base, which he folded and pushed through the slits in the baseball cap. Then he unfolded it once it was through the slit and glued that felt base inside the hat.

I guess where the extra felt comes in is that he put some inside the back of the ears at the base to cover the grommets that joined the ears to the original cap.

 

[lpizzuro123]

I hope I can do this . Maybe I should just send the material to you guys and he can do it for me

Only kiding - hopefully I can start working on this next week and have them done before we go down for our planning session. If not, I will have them done in time for our wedding.

Thanks,
Linda

Carrie,

Did you post the password for your MK photoshoot yet?? I can't find it anywhere in your TR. I remember your bad review and that you were waiting until they fixed things to post it. Am I retarded and it's somewhere staring me in the face, or am I just being impatient?

I can't wait to see it!!!

You can do it! All it takes is faith, trust, and one thing I forgot....

Sweet merciful crap! First your eyes were falling out, now they're bleeding... apparently I need to place a Surgeon General's warning on my trip report!

WOW!! I totally skipped this page and a few others!

Your pictures are exactly why I was so scared to use a Disney photographer and why we ultimately decided against the MK photo shoot. Their inconsistency is tragic!

I LOVE the Star Wars pose!!!!

 

[Angrypenguin]

Carrie,

Wow. I'm rethinking the MK photoshoot now! You're right about Disney photography...it almost doesn't seem worth it. Although, I must say, your comments on the photos had me

Hee hee!

Unfortunately, by sharing my opinions with you all, I seem to have shot myself in the foot. Our contact has been reading my posts and is refusing to do anything but give us a re-shoot - never mind that we would have to shell out for a tux, dress steaming, hair & makeup and a bouquet - to the tune of about $500! Thanks, but I don't think I should have to pay half of what I've already shelled out just to get the decent pictures I should have had in the first place!

Are you serious? That's just silly! I hope you are able to get it resolved.

Wow, for real? That's crazy! Did your contact quote you from the DISboards? That's scary! I hope something can be worked out for you.
