*Our Disneymoon PTR!!!11/20/11 update-TR LINK!!!*

[dreamerchic33]

Hello everyone!

So my morning kind of started being all in disney lala land. I had to go to the mall before work for some errands, and they have a DVC set up. I always admire such set up. Today, it was just adorable! LOTS of mickeys and one of my favorite signs was hanging. It's a daisy (my favorite flower) and the middle is a mickey head. Just made me smile and I always say high to the cast members working there, and they told me to have a magical day. my favorite line!

So i get to work...check on the fireworks dessert party...of course, its not availabe yet... no biggie.

I then come on the DIS to catch up on my TR's and PTRs and DR's. I see this announcement about free dining. I think, probably doesn't apply to use because we booked DXDP. Something tells me to just go ahead and call anyway. So i get a beyond wonderful CM on the phone. She is just making a big stink about our honeymoon and about FH's first disney trip and she is making me so excited, i don't care if she tells me NO! lol
So she asks me to hold and then goes "OH WOW"...I say, "OH WOW". She says "OH YES!, OH WOW"
Insert:

She says on your total package, you will be saving, $660!!! I didn't believe her, I said, im sorry what did you say??
She said, yes, a savings of $660, it's one of the biggest disney discounts you can recieve.
So now, minus our $200 deposit, we now owe $460 less!
WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I call FH, and he could just tell something good is about to come out of my mouth as I was so excited ( i tend to squeak a bit when i am excited, so i was VERY squeaky needless to say lol).
He was OVER the MOON excited! sounded like he was doing this: lol

So WDW, this way i love you even more today than yesterday! Pixie dust before I even arrive!

WAHOOOOOOO!!
Thanks for reading!xo <3

Ahhh - I can't believe I'm so behind on your last update! Where have I been?

Wow! What an amazing deal! I'm so excited for you!!!

 

[janabananas]

Wow that is awesome that you got such a great savings!! Love the pixie dust!!

I am hoping for my own when I call. I got my AP linked to my disney account and saw the pricing if we add DDP. It would be a nice savings for us. So I am not sure if they will use my existing deposit (I paid off my room already) or if I will have to remake the reservation all over again and pay out the whole amount for the reservation and get the money back as a refund. I am planning on calling this week to check it out. I had a very frustrating discussion with 2 CM's last week about another issue so I am biding my time until I call again. I don't want to get any more discouraged then I already am.

Ok I know it's been AGES since you posted but for some reason your AMAZING pixie dust slipped through my radar. What an AWESOME surprise. DBF got us 50% off our room and I felt like doing the happy dance... can't imagine how super awesome you must be feeling

 

[dreamerchic33]

Hey everyone!!!
Hope everyone is doing well!!
I apologize for my lack of updates lately! Life got a little too busy too quickly!

So some updates:
-as i said before, some health issues were coming up. they are sadly still here but i am keeping high hopes. This is one of the main reasons i haven't been posting as much!I have been going for some testing and lots of doctors. I have new testing this week and i am PRAYING for some answers!!
-the dental stuff is coming along. I had to cancel a few times due to the medical stuff but all is going well.
-our wedding invitations are out and we have been getting responses everyday! so exciting!
-i have almost all my "final" apts set and ready to go! i am so excited for them!!!everything is really coming along!
-i had my 1st dress fitting! the dress is SWIMMING on me! so lots of alterations needed to be done! i get to see her again at the end of the months!
-we were FINALLY able to book the dessert party for 11/3! i can't wait! so excited!!!!

So lets move on to our next day plans shall we???

We will begin our morning fairly early as we have breakfast reservations here:

I am really excited to have breakfast with the princesses!!!!
So we have quite a few options for today...
after breakfast the plan was to head to the GF Spa for a couples massage. As most of you may know, the Spa is closing this month So we can go to Saratoga Springs for our treatment

Or we can cancel it and head back to the pool for a little bit. Or we could hit up future world and then go back to the hotel.

Whatever we decide we will be heading back to

For...

and

Going around the countries is my FAVORITE thing! I love everything about it! There are a few places that i love to get some goodies at (norway, mexico and germany to name a few!) But this year we have FWF! I have ALWAYS wanted to go to food and wine but it just hasn't happened! So we def plan on getting goodies from all over!
We do have an evening reservation here:

but may forgo it depending on how much we do or do not eat during the FFW!
We of course plan on seeing illuminations!
After, we plan on hitting up EMH at future world! I would love to get on test track and Sorain!

It should be a great day!!! So excited!!!!

I will def try to update more frequently! Hope everyone is doing well!
My family and I get to go see Bocelli and Celine this evening along with some other greats! So excited!
I hope everyone was able to get through Hurricane Irene and 9/11 okay! xo

I have no intention of making any ADRs for the days we're planning to do F&W. I know we'll be stuffed from trying all the different samplings AND we don't have to tip. Sounds good to me! Hope your health issues clear up real soon!

 

[SOUTHERNtinkerBELLE]

So glad to see an update! I hope that you get some answers about your medical stuff that's been going on and that it's good news!

thank you! i made them as a just in case. It really all depends on how my stomach does or doesn't behave. I may be feeling sick to my stomach all day and then be starving for dinner. Or, all will go well, we will sample away and cancel the ressie. Hopefully the latter of course!
Thanks again!

Ahhh your wedding and honeymoon are so close! I can't imagine how excited you must be :

I looove Dole Whip too. We finally tried it (just yesterday, believe it or not!) and I could really go for another one right about now...

 

[dreamerchic33]

Hey everyone!!!

3 weeks until the big day and 3 weeks and a day until we are in DISNEY! WAHOOOOO! I made us mickey mouse pancakes today!!! ;-) fh was very impressed! lol

So how about some fun wedding and disneymoon updates?!?!

I really wanted to get us bride and groom shirts. i was looking and looking on the disney store, and they only ever had the groom shirt in a medium, and this was just not going to happen. So i went to my love, ETSY and got creative!
I got super comfy shirts from Old Navy and ironed these babies on! I think they came out great!

what do you think???

On to the invites and flowers!!

the purple is more of an eggplant!

And the sample flowers! the roses will be more open and there are some other blooms that couldn't be there due to the timing of when we went! Also that is the sample of our linens and the sample of our table number. Not the actual sample, just the print out. And the crystals will be smaller!!

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend!
xo Christina

 

[janabananas]

Oh my WOW!! The invites and flowers are gorgeous!!!

I can't believe how soon the big day is! I know you must be getting so excited! Your invites and centerpieces are stunning! I can't wait to see how it all comes together. I hope you will do a wedding report, too!

Love those Mickey head bride and groom tees! I hope you have a great time at the dessert party. I was a little nervous, too, but we had a wonderful experience there.
