I just got engaged Easter weekend and have been following your super short PJ. I started reading your TR this morning and found it very helpful.
I'm a little nervous about starting a PJ and want to read a lot more before I start mine.
I have to say I am a JIKO lover too!
If I were made of money, I think I could eat there everyday and I love their African red wines and the bar atmosphere. I know what you mean about Morocco. I've never watch the fireworks from that location but it seems like the wall there is higher and not as open as some of the other locations, but the good thing about Illuminations is that it's everywhere and easy to see.
I'm sure your photographer got some great pictures for you.
I'm anxious to see your ceremony pictures and even a few more of your TTD pictures. I've been looking into photography and I'm thinking of putting down a deposit with David and Vicki for my wedding and I know I eventually want to do TTD. Love your new avitar.
I also love the wedding pins you posted. I've never seen those, but they are so cute.
Where did you find them? Thank you for your wealth of information.
Congrats on your engagement! I am so jealous! I wish I could go back and start planning this all over again. I would do everything pretty much the same, I just am going to miss planning so much!
Jiko is so good, it makes me so sad that it isn't somewhere I can eat whenever I am in the mood to go out. I am a huge foodie and wino, so it was so awesome to be there! DF and I just sat at the bar one night, ordering appetizers and African wine and beer!
David and Vicki are so amazing. I wouldn't even consider someone now that I had them! We are definitely going to book them next time we go to take some anniversary or vacation pics! They are just the nicest people, and are really creative. Also, we were tired, hung over, exhausted, and looked like crap in person, and somehow, the photos turned out amazing!
We actually didn't even think to get pins, but we started watching people "trade pins" while waiting for the bus, and thought it could be a cute souvenir. We looked at all the pin trading stations and gift shops in MK and Epcot, and only really found two different ones, that were okay, but we didn't like them enough to spend the $10 or whatever it was. On our last night, we went to Kona, and we were way to early to check in, so we looked around the gift shop across from in in the Poly and noticed there were a ton of pin racks in front of it (in the photopass area). DH found them there, and we were so happy! I didn't see them anywhere else but there!
YAY!
Glad to hear you're back and had a great time. And that you enjoyed working with Regina. I can't wait to see your pictures.
I love the personalized Cinderella frame, they had most of that other merchandise in January, but not the frame. Something to put on my list for our next trip! DMIL got us those Mr & Mrs. pins as a present while we were there and we're planning on wearing them during our at-home reception next month.
Oh- and the Attic IS a long walk. Randy however knew of a backway up there that let you out right across the hall from it otherwise I would have thought to warn you about it. Sorry... Strange though that your planner didn't warn you about it. The first words out of Katherine's mouth when I asked her about the attic were "you know it's a long walk there, right?"
Again, glad things went well for you, and can't wait to see the pictures. I'm excited to see how the Canada pavillion turned out!
Hi! Yes, I am so happy with Regina, and I definitely requested her because of you and Lori.
I had Kathleen as well, and she didn't really mention it. I think because I knew sooooo much about everything that was out there, she assumed I knew where it all was, when in reality, I had only been to Disney twice before the wedding, and once I was so young I can barely remember. It worked out in the end though, but just a tip for future brides to be sure to ask!
I can't wait to see the pictures either!
Will you expand a little more on your trouble with Carolyn Allen's- I had been planning on using them
but haven't even contacted them yet so would like to know what I'm getting into!
I had a great experience with them and am sorry you didn't get the same. 
. I think the biggest appeal is Stormalong Bay.
I know other people had good luck with them, so it could have just been the particular people I dealt with
