I have booked misty for photos and attempted to book rev jack day as I could not get hold of him via email so I sent his stuff back anyway, I'm yet to hear on him

i LOVE your shoes, they are FABULOUS. i'm so jealous...i wanted to wear ice pink, but my mother (another jayne with a "y") almost had a heart attack when i mentioned it...

Ok so i thought i would update my journal

I have confirmed with jack day so he is all booked,

Our planning session is on 5th feb so we are flying over on the 4th and staying in pop century

We have also had a venue change from ariels to whitehall room as df was not keen on ariels. so we are going through the contract amendment as we speak!!

We are struggling to decide on a menu! there is so much choice and we just dont know what to try at our tasting!!

Oh, wonderful Sarah! What kind of menus have you been offered? We are GF Whitehall so I assume we will be offered the same! Congrats!

 

[orangetiggs]

Havent been sent any yet! Can you forward yours. sarah@ourdisneywedding.co.uk

Thanks

My pet theory (among my many pet theories) is that you should try things at the tasting that sound good but that they might screw up. For instance, a steak is pretty much going to taste the same at any of the reception locations, but some fancy fish dish might turn out to be overcooked or bland or whatever. Same with chicken - it is really rare that you get non rubbery/dry chicken.

Since we are having brunch, and we pretty much know what scrambled eggs and bacon and Mickey waffles taste like, we used our tasting session to try out exotic/unusual things that we thought we might like to add to the menu.

I have none yet for the GF - Heather sent me some buffet ones but I'm awaiting plated menus, if there are any

Glad you are doing a planning session!

Hey,

I finally found your PJ! Where have you been hiding it?!

Wow, you are so close to your planning trip now, you must be getting excited. How long are you going for - a week or longer? I so wish we could afford to do this. Apparently our works syndicate has won two tenners on the lottery in the last few weeks, so perhaps we're lucky at the moment and might get a big win!

BTW, I love the Mickey Mosaic on your web page, it's fantastic!

Where is your wedding ring from? It's so pretty!

 

[orangetiggs]

Yes its coming around so fast!! I am just going through a contract change and needing to pick the food we want to taste which is a nightmare!

We are only staying a week, Virgin done a good deal last year for 599 per person for pop century so we took advantage of the price and booked it up. We are planning on getting all the wedding stuff out the way the first few days and then having some fun!

I have emailed beaute speciale to book a trail so thats going to be good and we have ohanas booked to try it for our welcome dinner and its my birthday while we are there and pirate and princess party is on that night so I'm hoping to go to that and we have chef mickeys for breakfast as well!

We are also going to drive to the courthouse so we know where it is in sept!

I actually havent got that ring, I liked it but I purchased a ring with 10 diamonds channel set a bit like an eternity ring which is nice but DF is not convince so I might be a two wedding ring bride!!

Thanks, df and I did our web page, its not been updated in a while but we should do it soon.

 

[meryll83]

Sounds like your going to try some good places to eat and have a lot of fun things planned already!

Can't wait to get back there!

I'm sure you'll have great fun tasting whatever you decide to go for, just remember that even though it might be stressful trying to pick things, you get to try some scrummy things for free once you're there!

I think we are going to try and order our licence by mail so we can spend more precious time in the parks (I am a terrible park fiend!) but my colleagues sister hired a limousine with champagne etc and they made a special thing out of the trip to the courthouse when they went to get their licence.

Can you remember where you found that first ring? I really do like it and haven't seen anything like that when I've been looking.
I suppose rather than seeing it online I need to find a shop that does it so I can try it on, so perhaps I should just keep looking. I'm not sure whether to just have a plain band or go for a bit more bling, so I really need to try things on so I can see how it works.

Oooh I'm so excited for you going soon, how many days? (or how many more sleeps as I like to count it when it gets to about the week to go mark?)!

 

[orangetiggs]

iT WAS AROUND 2500 for that ring and it was in a local jewellers here. ferrot jacobs i think was the maker not sure on spelling!! I was not too fussed with having diamonds in my band but df wants a blingy one as my engagement ring is not overly flashy so he wants something better for my band

I think my ticker says something like 25 days!

I cant wait we havent been since 2005 and we normally go once a year but went to antigua last year for a group holiday with friends

 

[meryll83]

I actually worry about having that much money on my finger, perhaps I'll go plain

Sorry I didn't notice your ticker, we have about 650 days to go I think, oh dear!

 

[orangetiggs]

it will go so fast!! it has flown by since we first contacted them back in feb last year!! I'm now flying out there to plan it!!!

I cant wait to be honest, we have our laptop ready with ideas to take so I guess 25 days will just fly by now

 

[meryll83]

My longest wait before was 381 days, but to be honest that did go buy pretty speedily, this wait just seems mammoth at the moment though!

We actually need to wait for the school term dates to come out before we definitely know what date the wedding will be, but they're due to come out in April I think, so hopefully that should coincide with the 18 month mark for contacting Disney too.

 

[orangetiggs]

Ok so few updates,

As you know our planning session is booked for 5th feb, I booked to see peddles florist on the 6th feb just so we can compare to disney.

Skylarr was helpful and got us adrs for Ohanas and Boma so we can choose for our welcome dinner.

We have the church booked for our blessing on the 20th sept at 2:30 (this is the day after we fly home) and then we have our reception in a golf club here, we went last week to discuss food and timings so thats good.

I'm going to start my at home invites before christmas so I can get some sent out.

I have asked for the passporter book for christmas so hopefully i will get it!!

I have also started to print disney maps for everyones welcome folders. I will get maps in feb for everyones welcome bags but like the printed out ones.

I have ordered gift bags from ebay with googly eyes on them they are micket, goofy and donald bags so I just need a few more of them and they are sorted.

Havent thought about the contents yet but I'm sure I will.

I also won on ebay yesterday the bride and groom mickey ears so I'm pleased I have them

Sarah,

You're getting married on my date(well 14yrs ago), best wishes to you on your Planning trip.

We were just at the BC 2 weekends ago, kids had a 4 day weekend from school. I eyeballed Ariel's, decor not to my taste, you have to share the bathrooms with Cape May and the bar next door and it's right out the door from SAB. Saw 2 receptions there that weekend.

I love the Whitehall room, so unique, not some rectangular ballroom. Plus you have the choice of a plated dinner.

 

[JoJo1980]

Sarah, Everything looks wonderful!! Your dress & shoes are to die for - you have taste Can't wait to see your wedding pics when you get back of how everything looks when you've got it all on together - bet your hubby will love it

 

[orangetiggs]

Ok a few updates!!!

I have today paid for stan so the deposit is paid for our video!

I ordered my bm dresses yesterday so they should be delievered 12th may

We are alos 15 less guests that have now pulled out! so we have around 16 confirmed now which I'm not at all happy with as we could have gone down the escape route but people said they wanted to come so we booked a wishes.

I know it can be changed but we are really liking what we have choosen and feel we shouldnt have to sacrifice the wedding we want!
