Been trying to work today and my poor fingers have been so tempted by clicking on Virgin Holidays website for the exact same dates as we went this October as a wedding anniversary trip - not sure my new DW is on board with it all tho

 

[meryll83]

Oh - almost forgot, and there'll be both our parents, Si's brother and wife, his best friend and finance, my best friend and will then be hubby all coming too for our wedding!!

We're staying at Pop, then BWV for a couple of nights over the wedding then first time car-ruising with DCL over Halloween

How wonderful - we had all our family and friends out there for our wedding, and as hectic as it was trying to keep everyone (at least a bit) happy but it was so much fun having everyone we cared about with us!!

Best of luck with the planning - that was me this time a year ago and i wouldn't have changed it for the world

Cool, where was your wedding, reception etc, any recommendations or must dos??

Our wedding was at Cypress Grove, and was lovely - amazing setting - i'll put photos up when i can!
Where is yours?
We went to Shula's at the Dolphin for a meal afterwards which was also top notch - had to order more food towards the middle of the meal tho as we weren't going to reach our $1000 minimum so we were all stuffed!!

Best recommendation i can give is to make sure you spend some time alone with your new spouse - we did a Disney 4 night cruise after Orlando and was nice to have some time together!!

That sounds awesome and yummy, but yes those minimum spends can be a bit pesky!
We're hoping to get Citrico's Chef's Domaine and the minimum is quite low there thankfully since there's only 12 of us, but I'm sure it'll all add up fast! We're getting married at Sea Breeze Point at the boardwalk at 2:30pm on the 21st, I've already told Joh she should skulk past for a nosey, maybe I can get a whole bunch of groupies

We're doing a 3 night Disney cruise at the end of the holiday on our own for the very same reason - really looking forward to this, and it'll be our first ever cruise!!

ooh, I am hoping to be staying at Boardwalk Villas for 4 nights before our cruise if I can get in, so maybe will have a peek too.

There will be 9 of us Meryll - have I not mentioned that Nat and her family are going to be with us too - that should be enough groupies to keep you going.

Now I can't interest you in two more bridesmaids and an ultra-cute pageboy, can I

No you didn't mention that before, sneaky devil!!! Is that natalielongstaff from the boards?

Awww sweet, I don't think I can handle just my 2 bridesmaids as it is, and they're old enough to know better!!

The very same - you mean you haven't read our pre-trip report??? Shame on you woman

You sure I can't even tempt you with the page boy - he's very well behaved

Im very dissapointed Meryll...our trippie is awesome

Oh and i can vouch that Daniel is not only cute but very well behaved

As joh said Me, Dh and dd (11) and ds (8) are hitting Wdw with the Alcocks

 

[wideeyes]

Seems like everyone is going in big parties apart from me with my daughter. None of my family will go to WDW.

I didn't know you had a pre-trippie, what's the link and I'll come on over?!

We've always enjoyed the flexibility when there's been just the 2 of us, we'll see how it goes with a group this time round!!
