You've been busy!!! I love the tree design - that is so creative and such a good idea! And all of the jewelry is beautiful! I love those bracelets.

 

[BerrysGirl]

All of your wedding plans look great! And, I must say, I know I'm suppose to be looking at the ring but...

I LOVE your nail polish! It's adorable

I always have great luck at H&M for dresses?

it's so funnie with this nail polish. I had gotten that mani a day before my shower.. In the bottle it looked silver with purple (kinda like it is on my pinky) but everywhere else it looked green ish. My mom, and brother gf, even fh went on and on about how they hated this polish lol...meanwhile it wound up going great with my shower dress! hahaha
And thanks for the compliments and suggestions!

Hi Christina! My name is Christina, too! And I'm getting married this fall and honeymooning in Disney! I just found your PTR from a link in someone else's PTR and I caught up already. Your wedding plans sound great so far. The venue is gorgeous and I love your colors. The invites are beautiful and fancy. I also love your ring and your dress. That is so exciting that you're staying at the Grand Floridian and that beautiful resort in Mexico. Your plans for Disney sound great so far. I can't wait to read more. Here's hoping you get lots of pixie dust on your honeymoon!

Hey Everyone,

So immed after changing our Kouzzina ressie to California Grill, it just was not sitting right with me! On top of that, one of my best friends told me a not so great story on her last visit there. I tired to pretend she didn't tell me, but I just couldn't shake it! So, I changed it BACK to Kouzzina
I really want to take FH down to the BW area anyway, and I think he will really LOVE
it! So hopefully gut instinct will work here!

I also added Yak and Yeti lunch ressie to our AK day! I am very excited about this!

Purchase Updates:
The swimsuit tops came...i wasn't thrilled with the fit. I am going to exchange for a different size and hope that does the trick! The suits themselves are BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Fingers crossed everyone!!!

Most of the coverups came and they are all great, except for 1, so i am exchanging it for a different size (smaller! whaooo!).
I did a LB order too, a BIG one...everything came great except the styles of one type of item, so i am going to exchange those after work! I am not overly thrilled with the BRIDE shirt, quality speaking, but i didn't spend that much on it and it is really cute, so it will make do!


Other updates:
Our renters insurance and my new ring insurance (switching to where our car policy is) will go into effect @ midnight! This was a much longer process than i wanted it to be, but that's okay, at least it is all settled now!

Our apt is really getting there! I have a bunch of small stuff to bring over tonight, FH will be helping me with a big tote tomorrow, and then everything from our eparty and shower will be in our apt!!! Clothes, books, and other small items will be last. I am getting so excited seeing it all come together!!Our kitchen set should be coming any day now! then we just have to do office furniture and a hutch or buffet for the kitchen.

FH was able to get some answers on a health issue today, so i was happy we finally know what is going on! Of course, not much we can do to fix this issue from happening, but I now know what it is and that gives me ease!
Now, we have an orthopedic apt on monday, if everyone could keep fingers crossed, i would be GREATLY appreciative! Thank you!!!

Also, more as I am embarking on a slew of dental work tomorrow I really hope it goes well and as painless as possible!

And I believe we have decided our RD will be at my parent's home! More details to follow at a later point!

I believe that is it for now!
Have a great day and weekend everyone! xo <3

I think that Yak & Yeti is a great addition for your AK day. We just ate there and loved it! You must get some of the fried wontons for dessert. Amazing!

You reminded me - I still have to add my ring to my insurance policy. I must do that soon!

Oh great! So happy the hear that!
It was a trying to switch my ring policy! You need an appraisal that is no more than 2 years old. Usually, they also want you to go down and show them the ring. And be prepared, insuring personal property is quite expensive! Since switching took a little longer than I anticipated, my ring went a little bit without being insured, I was sooo nervous for that little bit of time! Hope your having a great weekend xo

Hi Christina!

Just wanted to say that everything looks beautiful - you'll love the MNSSHP - we're going to our 2nd one when we go back to "the world" in September.

Can't wait to see how it all turns out, and how much your future hubby loves Disney - sending pixie dust that you're able to convert him to a believer like I was with mine

thanks for joining and your sweet words!
I joke with the future hubby that if he does not turn into a full blown disney addict, there will be an annulment!! i do think he will fall in love though! i already have him scouting hidden and he loves it! so i do hope it will all work out!!
xxoo

Merry Christmas in July everyone!!! (don't judge! i make a little thing of it every year! lol)

I thought it would be good to start discussing our daily plans!!

Before we get into this, I would like to explain a few things...

As you all know, Scott has NEVER been to disney, not even when he was little. I really wanted to make sure I incorporated new things that I have never done before either! Also, my parents and I travel to WDW the same way each time. Take each day nice and slow and relaxing and get to what we get to. We are also creatures of habit and do the same things over and over again. Which, works great for us, but again, wanted to do it a little differently with FH. Most of our days are pretty packed, and of course, if we want to deviate, thats fine. I just wanted to get as much in with FH as i can! You see, our next two trips, we are planning are to Paris/Italy and Greece. So it will be a little bit before we get back to WDW. i keep joking and saying we will wind up back at WDW and skip are other plans lol. (my family has ALWAYS done this). So I will let you know what's new for me!

Let's get started!

So it will be Halloween morning and it will be EARLY!! We will be staying at our reception hall the night of our wedding. They have a beautiful suite for your wedding night stay, and we have decided to utilize it.

We will be getting up VERY early in the morning, me probably more so than Scott. It's so easy for men to get ready in the morning! I would like to do something with my hair and do just a little makeup. We will then make a quick stop at our apartment, where we will drop off whatever we need to and get our luggage ready for the limo to pick us up and take us to the airport!

We will be flying

I anticipate an easy process. We are the 2nd flight out to Orlando that morning. I plan to print out our boarding passes on the morning of our wedding day and have everything all set. I am also planning on doing curb side check out. We will breeze through security and then most likely have breakfast @

. We LOVE LOVE LOVE Jamba and I always make a habit of stopping here when we fly JetBlue.

After a nice, smooth and quick flight (i hope!) we will get our luggage and then get on here

, I love the DME! I know you can have them take your luggage and you do not even have to go through getting your luggage from the carousels, but the one time we did this, we didn't get our luggage until 15 minutes before one of our ADR's, it took HOURS, and I really prefer to do unpacking and getting the room situated.

I plan on taking LOTS of pictures! The next part I can't wait for is seeing this

. I LOVE this sign!!!!!

We will then arrive here

I am hoping for a few things upon check in!
First, some for an upgrade of course!
Secondly, i am REALLLY hoping that we can check in before the standard check in time (I will get to the reasoning in a second!)
If we are checked in, i hope to unpack and situate our room. Especially, our outfits for our ADR in the evening.
If not, we will explore the hotel and relax until 2pm, where we will be here

. We do not plan on staying here the entire time allotted, as our ADR is for 7:30pm. So, I also hope, maybe there will not be many cabanas being rented this day and maybe we can re-arrange our 4 hour time slot.
Either way, I am so excited to do this!! It will the perfect way to relax and take a little snooze! We also plan on getting some lunch while we are here.
After our Cabana rental, we will go up to the room and get ready for our ADR at

I am hoping for this to be a romantic and wonderful dinner! A perfect way to start off our 1st newlywed meal! We also plan on requesting a window seat so we can see hallo-wishes!
After, I hope we can walk around and just enjoy everything!
When we return to the room, we should have a surprise waiting for us, as I will be arranging to the disney florist to come and set this up for FH

SO this is mainly why i hope we can check in sooner and even get the cabana rental sooner. You see, the DF can come btwn 7 and 9. So we would need to be out of the room by 6:50 pm. I plan on telling FH that we need to go to dinner early for pictures and for the window seat request.
I hope I can pull this off for Arrival day and not push it until another day.

Our arrival day plans have me getting SOOOO excited for it to finally get here! 98 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wahooo!!!

Basically, everything about this day is new for me! The hotel, the cabana and the restaurant! We have never stayed at an MK resort before. ANY and ALL tips you have regarding monorail and transportation in this area would be great! (thank you in advanced!)

What do we think??
Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!
xo <3 Christina

So i was wandering around Barnes and Noble today. It was really frustrating, the books that they said they had in stock they did not, and after an hour, i just left. I went on amazon.com today and not only did they have everything i wanted, they also had everything for like 40-50% off (all new too! i was nervous to order from other sellers bec most did not have a good rating!). So there are a LOT of books, that i plan on reading through the summer, mainly in Mexico and on the long flight home. I figure I will be reading into the winter! lol
I went with a mix of recommendations and books that revolve around my work. I can't wait for this shipment to come in!

Your arrival day plans sound amazing! You are going to LOVE the cabana. They are so luxurious and relaxing - the perfect way to start off your honeymoon! As for the MK area, the monorail makes it so easy to get around. My only tip would be to utilize it!

So after what will hopefully be a nice romantic evening with lots of surprises and a good nights rest we will be ready to get started!
Today will be a JAMMED pack day, and I could not be any more excited for it!
We will start our morning at the Poly at one of my favorite breakfast spots!

Our reservation is for 9:30. No plans on rushing, just taking it nice and easy. I think when we are done, we will look around the hotel a bit. I would at some point in this trip like to buy a bag of the Kona coffee for my mom. She LOVES it!
We will then be headed to DHS! (it kills be to not write MGM, lol!)

The plan is to go on the following rides!

Really hoping i can get FH on this one! Although last time i was on it, i had a really rough ride, i had a really bad headache the rest of the day, so i guess we will just see!

I would like to stop here for a frozen lemonade!

We will perhaps go to some other parts of the park for some shows. But those are my main points to hit!
At 5:45 pm, we will make our way over to one of my favorite resturants for dinner!

After a fabulous dinner and a nice stroll out of the park we will be headed to

for...

I do not have a plan of attack, I just want to go with the flow, take it all in and have a lot of fun! And of course, take LOTS of pictures!
I do plan on having one of these babies

I do of course also want to see the parade and hallo-wishes! I am thinking of seeing hallo-wishes from the hub or in the near area, since we are hoping to watch wishes later in the week at the Dessert party, if they ever release these dates!!!!

I am not sure what time we will leave, or what kind of shape we will be in, but perhaps when we go back to the hotel, we can go for a quick late night swim! We shall see! we do have 1 more jammed pack day the next day! Epoct and the food and wine festival! Along with some other goodies!

Have a great night everyone!
xxoo Christina

What a fun day! I can't wait to hear about your dinner at Brown Derby! That's one of the places I think I'd like to try on a future trip. I always plan on having a funnel cake, too! Sadly, I never get to them. I hope you get to eat one!
