We did Cali Grill on our Honeymoon. It one was of our favorite things. The food is amazing and watching Wishes on the rooftop made us feel like celebrities.

I can't wait to go to the Cali Grill. It is actually something I heard about on the Disboards and as soon as I read about it I knew I absolutely had to get a reservation there. I have heard nothing but amazing things. Do they keep your food hot if you wan tto go out to the observation deck? I think we will be in the middle of our meal at that point. I have also not been to Disney since 2004 (I know...it's horrible) so I am excited to get to see wishes and Fantasmic

Congratulations on your upcoming nuptial.

Thank you so much

My DF works seven days a week usually. He works for a moving company and summer is the busiest time. He got three days off this week (f,s,s), so we got out the bags and got to work considering we needed to figure some things out and it was our first and maybe our only chance (he is soooo tired when he gets home). We wanted to pack as much as we could in our tiny carryon suitcases (we have two mini suitcases that are big enough to carry on). Due to my master packing skills (I have been to Disney many times and know how to fit the most into a bag...lol) we fit all of my clothes and a few of his outfits into our two minicases. We will just put the rest of his clothes into our huge suitecase and our toiletries and stuff.

I packed little quart bags filled with travel size deoderant, shaving cream, shampoo conditioner etc. and put them in our backpack as well as some plastic bags incase we get wet at the parks and want to change into a spare set of shorts (wet shorts can be kind of uncomfortable). With the travel size toiletries and the clothes in our carry on we figure we are safe just in case something happens to our luggage, it won't put a huge damper on things and we can just wait until it is found. I have complete trust in the ME service, but you never know...the airline may misplace them. I doubt they will because we don't have a connecting flight.

Anyway....it may seem like I'm jumping the gun since we have three weeks left, but as I said, he never gets time off so I figured I would get some stuff out of the way while I could get some time to sort things out with him.

Now that I have all of this done I have nothing left to do but wait. It's going to be a long three weeks. I told DF that I wish there was a pill I could take that would just put me to sleep until I had to wake up to go to the airport...lol.

Good news though. Even though my DF has never been to the world I have been showing him videos (travel channel, modern marvels etc) and he is really excited. He found out that they have camping grounds and since he is a huge camping person he asked me if I would want to either rent an RV or bring our tent and camp at the WL next year for vacation. Now, as we all know...anyone that is on this site is not going to pass up a chance to visit Disney. I was singing his praises I knew there was a reason I loved him Even better...today when we were at my aunts house for my cousins graduation party, we started discussing going on a family vacation with the entire extended family. We were goign through all the ideas (island, cruises, vegas etc.) when my aunt Mary stand up throughs her hand in the air and says "I GOT IT!!!!" Why don't we go to Disney for a few days and then go on the cruise a few days. Now, keep in mind I am a Disney FREAK, but I have never really thought that my extended family was that into it...so of course upon hearing this I almost had a heart attack I have also never been on a Disney Cruise before and have been dying to go. What better way to experience it than on a vacation with the best family a girl could ever ask for.

So now here I am three weeks away from my dream Disney honeymoon. I haven't even gone yet and we already have two more trips in the works. I am beside myself. I just want to get up and do the happy dance


Well...I thik I have ranted and raved enough for now. Thanks again for being here to share my excitment with me. The disboards really feel like a huge circle of good friends. It's just another part of the magic of Disney...bringing strangers together

 

[lmillercrew]

OOOHHH more trips!

 

[Moonlitdreams82]

I realized I gave you all the background on how we met and who we are as a couple, but I never introduced you to who we are as individuals, which I am sure will become aparent when you see the pictures and video from the trip. Anyway...

Me - Amy. A complete Disney freak and getting more fanatical with every waking minute. I become completely obsessed with everything I decide I am going to do. I am a huge planner, neat freak and can be a bit neurotic. I freak out about the littlest things and then five mintues later I am fine. I know...I sound like a joy to be around right? I promise...I really am a good time. Nothing means more to me than my family. I have an amazing group of close friends who I can count on through anything and an amazing soon to be husband who I can not wait to spend the rest of my life with. I tend to talk a lot...my DF always asks me if I breathe I am really just a big goofball. I love to have fun and try my hardest not to take life too seriously. I am a para professional for autistic children in the NYC school district and am going to school to get my teaching degree in special education.

DF - Steve (or as our beloved nephew calls him...Poopy head) He is just a big kid. He is constantly cracking jokes that he thinks are hillarious (sometimes they are...sometimes not so much..ha ha). He's always doing some silly dance or singing some silly song and doesn't stop until I notice him (see I told he was a big kid). He's just a big goofball in general and a big teddy bear. He's constantly coming up with new wacky inventions (some of which are actually quite good I must admit). Hopefully he will be able to make us a lot of money with one of them someday. He knows how to be serious when the time comes, but really is just concerned with having fun, laughing and never growing up. He has never been to Disney, but is very excited to go. He is currently working for a moving company in NYC, but strives to open his own business some day. He is a great person, with an amazing heart and can not wait to raise children with me. He will be perfect for this trip because it will be like bringing a five year old to Disney for the first time and the look on his face will make my trip even more exciting...not to mention the fact that he will officially be my husband!!!!!

Glad to have you along for the ride I completely know how you are feeling...it's an awsome feeling to be able to share the magic with disney with a loved one that has never been. I can't wait!!!

 

[Moonlitdreams82]

I am soooooooo upset I was really looking forward to leaving a legacy at Epcot...it is my favorite park and just seemed like a really awsome and romantic thing to do on our honeymoon. It would be great to show our kids..."This is from when mommy and daddy came here when they come married" but sadly, I just found out via the Epcot site that they are no longer selling legacy tiles. It really is not cool...I really wanted to do this...why would they get rid of that

On a happier note...while laying in bed last night before we went to sleep I asked Steve what park he thinks looks like he would really enjoy it the most. He said Epcot!!!! My response...."That's why we were meant to be together. I love you...goodnight"

 

[Moonlitdreams82]

I was thinking of my trip as being 2 1/2 weeks away, but I look at my countdown...19 days just makes it sould soooo much better

 

[Moonlitdreams82]

Just for a laugh and to see what big goof balls we really are, I present to you....idiotic pictures we have taken for no reason.






This is Steve after I shot a suction cup dart of our nephews at his head (those are not our walls..I would never let my walls look like that. I am a net freak!)

Steve put a plastic bag over my head and then I put his hat on top of it. I call this one...."the plastic bag gangsta". If any of you watch project runway you will get the joke. Last week they had an assignment to make an outfit out of stuff found at a grocery store. One guy basically just took plastic bags and draped a woman in them. He said she looked great and was ready for a night out on the town. It was completely rediculous. Can't forget the outfit was complete with yellow rubber dish washing gloves...ha h aha ha ha. Needless to say he was kicked off the show. I hired him to design my wardrobe though..lol. (sorry for the mess in the background..we were unpacking from shopping and sorting through things for our trip)

 

[Moonlitdreams82]

Also...although we do not have any children yet these are our little guys. Anthony is 4 and Adam just turned 3. They are our nephews (our best friends kids) and the light of our lives.

[Moonlitdreams82]

Probably not very interesting, but for my own purposed I took pictures of all our preparations.

Our luggage which is semi packed with things that we will not use until vacation

My folder of stuff

Magical Express information and luggage tags.

One of our many personalized maps (one for each park and one of the entire World) that I got from the Disney website. This is a very cool feature. If you have not done this you should. The only thing is that it says my current last name on it because that is what name the reservation is under. I couldn't put it under my married name because my id will not be changed until sometime after we get back.

The folder thingy that they send you the maps in

Our little plastic envelope that they sent our itinerary, vouchers and all that good stuff in

I was so happy when I got this in the mail. It was one of the first things they sent when we booked and I thought it was soooo cute that it said "Welcome Honeymooners." It was the first visual sign that I am actually gong to have my dream come true of honeymooning with the love of my life in the happiest place on earth.

My very neatly planned out and organized list of breakfast/lunch/dinner ADR's. Hubby to be thinks I am nuts, but when the time comes to have a reservation number handy because they can't find it.....he will be thankful that I am so organized.

Our printed out Jetblue itinerary so I can scan it at the kiosk and avoid all the other junk.

Our printed out Alamo car rental reservation for Disney's Car Care Center. I was happy to know that Disney works with a car rental which is right on sight. They send a shuttle to come and pick you up, which is great. We are only renting the car for two days (15th and 16th) so that we can go to Universal and not have to depend on bus transportation or pay fifty dollars each way.

18 more days and we are on our way!!!!! 17 more days and I am married

A picture of my engagment ring.

My engagment ring and wedding band...I can't wait to wear them together...so pretty

My DF's Wedding band

 

[lmillercrew]

Your planning looks great. And your ring is gorgeous! Is DF ring Tungston? How many days are you guys going for? I forget. How much were your tickets on Jet Blue? I wish they flew out of Detroit. So excited for you

yeah, his ring is tungston...lol. How did you know that? When we got it was the first time I ever even heard of that.

Thanks for the compliments on my rings. I really love them.

We are going for 9 days/8 nights. Jetblue cost us about $750 all together. It was more to fly round trip so I found two different flights. We are flying out of a different airport than we are flying in to. It worked out to be much cheaper that way. They charge too much for a round trip for some reason. It's okay though cause we have someone to drive us and pick us up.

I only knew because I bought DH a new ring last year for Christmas and we were looking at Tungston. He just needed something more sturdy than the ring he got when we were 19 & 20. He didn't want me to spend a ton and he's so not flashy, so he actually picked out Stainless Steel. I know, can you believe it??? Me either, but it looks great, nice and heavy and very inexpensive. $100!.
Weird on your flights and I still think $750 for two people is insane, but I've never flown out of NY before either. I usually can get them out of Detroit for less than $200. Last Oct I found some for $150/pp rt! I know, don't hate. Anyway, it does make it easier if someone takes you to the airport, then you don't have to worry about parking and getting a shuttle to the terminal, blah blah blah. We've had nice friend's, like yours, take us too. I hope you guys have a great time and a wonderful wedding. Are you more exicited for your wedding or honeymoon? Or just ready to be married and excited for the honeymoon? Or different kind of excited for different events? Ya know??

Yeah, Tungston is a great choice for someone who needs something more sturdy and isn't flashy. That is exactly how my DF is. It's a really nice ring and I feel comfortable with him wearing it because in the job he works at it would be easy for another type of ring to bend and cut into his finger. Tungston doesn't move. It's very strong.

We paid about $200 per person per route so that's why it came out to be that price. The cost of flying is more expensive now because of the cost of fuel, so what are you gonna do? We have to make sacrifices for Disney

I am very excited about our wedding. More excited to be marrying the love of my life than the actual wedding itself. We are having a small wedding (about 100 people). We decided to just do our family and close friends (which basically consists of our bridesmaids/groomsmen and their dates). It's too expensive when you start inviting people you kind of know and your parents co workers and your cousins uncles cousin...lol. Plus I am the type of person who just wants to have something where everyone is having a good time. Nothing too fancy, but elegant. I think the wedding will be a lot of fun, but I guess I just seem more excited about the honeymoon because the wedding is one day and the honeymoon is 9...in Disney!!!...lol.

I agree with sacrafices for Disney. We flew to Mexico this summer and I was almost sold on the fact that I would be paying almost $400/ticket for 5 people. Thankfully Spirit ran a special one random Sunday morning and got tickets for $99 each way.
We had a small wedding too. I agree with the not inviting people who you kinda know. We spent very little on our wedding invitations because why spend a fortune on something that only you and your parents are going to keep. I'm just so happy that you found your mate for life.
Can't wait to hear more of your plans.
