We got married!? Oh my gosh, we are married! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. LOL, not really the reaction we had when we got up this morning; it was more like, lets go back to bed, Im tired. We stayed the night at the hotel where the reception was and that was a great idea! We got up at 8a.m. this morning and we were exhausted! Weddings can be so tiring. We took a shower and got ready and went downstairs for a lovely breakfast; it was a buffet so I had eggs, bacon and something else I cant remember, along with a coke because I needed to wake up. My new husband, hes so cute!, just had fruit and hot tea. We went back upstairs, grabbed all of our 35 bags (more like 6) and headed to the elevator when I see my maid of honor coming out with her stuff. It was nice being able to say bye to her again before she went back home. Our towncar was pulling up as soon as we got downstairs so our driver took care of our stuff and off to the airport we went! Yay! Im so excited! The driver does not stop talking with my husband because they use to work for the same company and 30 minutes later we finally get to the airport; about time! Get all of our bags again and head in to check in; everything goes smoothly, including security checks. We found our gate, went to get some coffee and finally at 11:30a.m. our flight took off. My husband and I were so tired we just slept the whole time which was nice because I was well rested for tonight! We finally land at MCO and Im soooo excited. I, of course, am wearing my Minnie bride ears already. We wore them last night for our last dance to A Whole New World, and I wore them all morning at the airport and in the plane. My husband on the other hand was a little shy about wearing his this morning. Anyway, we get to MCO, take a potty break, and quickly make our way to Disneys Magical Express service counter. I spotted the big white hands right away when we got downstairs and there was no wait in line so we walked right in. The lady at the counter quickly took care of our stuff and directed us to the correct line. There were about 20 people infront of us and we probably had about a 10 minute wait, but we didnt mind. We hopped on the bus and 5 minutes later we were on our way to The World!
ME went off without a glitch; they played that little promotional video which was a bit entertaining and before we knew it we were pulling up to CBR. The hotel looked really nice from where I was standing and we quickly made our way to check-in. Thank goodness there was no wait to check-in and the CM was nice, well, she was ok, I expecting a little more enthusiasm. Well the pixie dust began right away as we got our first Magical Moment certificate and I was soooooo excited. My husband was also given a gift basket I had ordered for him (he thought it was from Mickey Mouse himself). But then the pixie dust went away for a few minutes as we found out that we were on building 39! 39!? Yes people, we were in the middle of no where! I frowned and whined and the lady checked (riiiiiiiiiiight) and she came back to tell me that it was the only room available. Fine, I told my husband well give it a try and if we dont like it well switch resorts or something on Monday, so we went outside the Custom House to wait for the internal bus. The bus came about 5 minutes after we were waiting there and 5 minutes later we were in our section, building 39. We found our room, we had a corner room which looked really big with a King size bed and a towel animal! Yes! Just a little more pixie dust to brighten up my day again. I was so excited to have a towel animal I jumped on the bed to get to it and ended up getting the biggest bruise ever but I was ok.
So we had a dinner reservation at CRT for 5:10p.m. and it was already 4p.m. so we decided to just head over to Magic Kingdom. My husband wasnt too happy at first because he wanted to stay in the room a little and rest. But we walked our 2 minute walk to the bus stop and waited for the bus for about 5 minutes; not bad! We get to MK without any problems and already we are getting tons of congratulations.
We immediately walked to CRT and checked in. CMs were congratulating us all the time and we were escorted for a picture with Cinderella. You guys should see that pictures, it is so funny, you can definitely tell it was my husbands first interaction with a character. He looked petrified! He stood like 5 feet away from her. I couldnt stop laughing when I saw that. Check out the pic:
But anyway, back to CRT, our waiter was nice but he wasnt in character so it was a little lame but its ok, I lived. We didnt order appetizers and just went for our meal which consisted of lamb for me and a steak for my husband. Both were great! My husband loved this place! Our waiter presented us with another Magical Moment certificate as well as a pair of Champagne flutes that say CRT on them as a wedding gift. I thought that was lovely and it made me feel all happy inside. So much Disney magic in just a few hours! Wow! Thats why I love this place! We also got our special dessert delivered to our table, a Cinderella slipper with fresh berries yummmm. I had special ordered it but the plate did say Congratulations on it. So dinner was wonderful, CRT was great and we were ready to do some walking.
Today was also EMH for Magic Kingdom so we had some time to enjoy it. We went to Tomorrowland and rode Astro Orbiter twice and it became my husbands favorite ride of all time. He had a blast! Then we rode the little blue train thing that goes around there (I cant remember the name of it) and he loved that too. Then we went to Carousel of Progress and oh my goodness he LOVED it (I had never been on it). Somewhere along the way we saw Stitch too and took a picture with him. We then started watching Wishes but decided that riding rides was more exciting at the moment so we went to Space Mountain. And guess what, he loved that one too! My plan was working; I was converting my husband into a Disney junkie! He even wanted to drive a car in the Speedway thing, so we did that but then he said he was tired and ready to go. By now its 8:30p.m. so I frown and got sad so we did two more rides, Tea Cups ..the funniest ride Ive ever ridden on since my husband was spinning them so fast and finally Phillharmagic which was AMAZING! So by 9p.m. we were out of there and 20 minutes after that back at the hotel. He said he had a great time and cannot wait until tomorrow when we do MGM .
If you guys made it through this long report of the first day, then Congratulations! There is more on the way, so stay tune
