[malibustacey]

Wicked!!!!!

Im not jealous at alllll ....

A girly break to Disney!!!

 

[Sarah <3 Disney]

That is so awesome! So nice of you to invite her along and what a perfect way to have some alone, girl time!

 

[Pirate's Princess]

That's so awesome Adelia!!! As for ADRs I think you can still get a classic Disney feel...I've been many times but never even did Chef Mickeys. There are still character meals: Liberty Tree Tavern, I think is a character meal again while CP is being refurbished, or the Garden Grill in Epcot. Or perhaps the Norway Princess buffet (we really like our dinner there) as a sub for CRT. As for non-character, there's plenty of yummy places, especially in Epcot. As for DTD, I love Wolfgang puck express, and I'm dying to try the Ghiaredeli (yes I know I butchered the name), and honestly for some girly time, you can't beat chocolate!!!

Lucky! my friend just got back from disney and she sent me all her pictures... i got so sad that i won't be going there at all this year. lol You'll have to do a mini trippie!

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

YEAH! A trip to Disney! I'm jealous...but will live through your trip report!

 

[polynesianbride]

Wicked!!!!!

Im not jealous at alllll ....

A girly break to Disney!!!

YAY for girly break to Disney!!!!! We could always do your PS for you while we're there since you won't be able to go for one

That is so awesome! So nice of you to invite her along and what a perfect way to have some alone, girl time!

Who knew inviting her along would turn into DISNEY

That's so awesome Adelia!!! As for ADRs I think you can still get a classic Disney feel...I've been many times but never even did Chef Mickeys.

I had ruled out the princess breakfast in Norway bc we'll be in AK for the morning (we can't do Donald's safari breakfast bc I booked it for DF and I in April and DF would kill me if I did it first without him) but I didn't think about it for dinner... are the characters still there for dinner? Is the food good she's kinda a picky eater. Thanks for the advice!

Lucky! my friend just got back from disney and she sent me all her pictures... i got so sad that i won't be going there at all this year. lol You'll have to do a mini trippie!

It's only been a year since I've been to Disney but it feels like FOREVER!!!! Luckily I have 3 trips planned now between Dec 09- Dec 10 I will definately do a mini trippie

YEAH! A trip to Disney! I'm jealous...but will live through your trip report!

I have never done a TR before but this will be good practice so I'll be a pro by the time the wedding TR comes around

 

[polynesianbride]

In all the excitement about my upcoming Dec trip I realize I never posted my ADR's for the April trip. It was a major pain to get through on the 27th but we managed to get everything we wanted

Saturday 4/3: Ohana 7:55 pm
Sunday 4/4: Donald's Safari Breakfast 10:00 am
Monday 4/5: LeCellier 6:45 pm
Tuesday 4/6: 50's Prime Time 6:25 pm (BOOK WEDDING THIS DAY TOO!!!!)
Wednesday 4/7: Whispering Canyon 5:40 pm
Thursday 4/8: Biergarten 5:45 pm
Friday 4/9: Cape May 5:30 pm
Saturday 4/10: HOME

I still haven't been able to talk DF into a photo shoot with Misty but I'm feeling a little strapped for money lately anyways (side effect of planning 3 Disney trips at a time) so maybe he's right and we should skip it and spend the $$$ on something else I am definately getting a hair trial done though with Patricia so I need to find out what day she's available... I just haven't been able to fully admit that I don't need to coordinate it with Misty

 

[acwinsett]

I'm so excited for you. So glad you are getting to do Disney in December. It's the BEST time to go! I just wish it were going to be a week earlier . . .

 

[kcampbell]

Adelia! Whoo-hoo on the mini trip to WDW while you're down in December! How fun is that!?!

Okay, about the colored accessories....if you haven't decided yet I say don't rush. You've got plenty of time to figure out what you truly want. I love the idea of the colored shoes, but knowing how the Romona dresses flow they'll be REALLY visible in any pics of you walking. (which maybe you want) I just would hate for you to have your dream dress and look at the photos and have a bright colored shoe detract from anything. (Food for thought-- take it or leave it! )

I like the idea of beaded/colored crystal accessories. I know there are a few places down here, but I hope the one you're thinking of is not the Bead shop on Pine Ridge Rd. (in the shopping plaza where Noodles is) b/c they closed at some point over the summer . DH & I went to Noodles for dinner a few weeks ago and the shop is now empty. I hope I wasn't the bearer of bad news.

Your April ADR look yummy! Good Choices!! You'll have to let me know about Cape May Cafe (I've never been).


Hope everything else good!!

 

[Flurbee]

Adelia,

Finally getting caught up again!!! I have some exciting news that I am going to PM you!! Anyways, while i love the green shoes, I think they might take away the focus from your gorgeous dress!! Just my opinion. Yay for another Disney trip!!!! A really good place to eat that is 1TS is Mexico in Epcot, it is sooo yummy and the atmosphere is awesome!! It's where the ride goes through. Also, I don't know if you would have time, but Jake and I were there last year for Christmastime and we went to Mickeys very merry xmas party and it was AWESOME!!! I know it's extra, but it is definitely worth it if you had the time and money!!! Your ADR's for April look yummy!!! I know I haven't done an update in forever on my PJ. I can't seem to figure out how to post pics from my camera when I don't have a computer. I don't want to take up space on everyone elses computer with my pics....But, I am working on it....Talk to you soon!!

 

[Chilly]

Oh lucky you girlie trip to WDW i'd love to do that!

 

[aduck126]

You will have an amazing time! but im sure you already now that

 

[Ann117]

The dress looks amazing! I love those green shoes I want them in orange! Have fun on your trip in Dec that is going to be so much fun

 

[polynesianbride]

I'm so excited for you. So glad you are getting to do Disney in December. It's the BEST time to go! I just wish it were going to be a week earlier . . .

I know I wish I was 1 week earlier too... your wedding is going to be soooooo amazing- I would love to stalk it

That is the bead shop I was thinking about!!!!! Shoot! My mom and I always go there when I'm down and make a necklace and they're always so helpful! Oh well I have made some progress with jewelry... I found a necklace that I like that is made from prasiolite (a light green stone) but now am thinking of going with something more neutral (maybe pearls). I'm thinking neutral shoes for now too bc I know they will show when I walk- you're right though I have tons of time so I can change my mind 20 times... I'll probably end up with one set of colored and one set of neutral by the time the wedding gets here

Maure!!!! I'm so glad you're updating your PJ again and I know I said it before but CONGRATS!!!! I would love to do MVMCP but DF wants to do it with me so I think we'll save it for the honeymoon. I have heard really good things about that restaurant in Mexico... I will have to put it on the list!

AW lucky! i have never been tot disney during the hollidays, i bet everything is so beautiful. The closest we got was going the first week of january when everything was still up but not lit

You will have an amazing time! but im sure you already now that

I'm so excited... my friend really needs this trip and I can't wait for her to experience the magic of Disney for the first time!

The dress looks amazing! I love those green shoes I want them in orange! Have fun on your trip in Dec that is going to be so much fun

Thanks Ann! I love the green shoes too but I know they're going to show too much with my dress... I still may have to get them though

 

[kcampbell]

Darn--- I was afraid that was the shop you were talking about. Well, I actually like "classic" bridal looks- so I think the necklace you found and neutral shoes will be beautiful. (And heck- you could always get a colored shoes for your dinner/party)
You're almost to a year! That's exciting! And I'm getting closer to no longer being a newlywed ! Have a safe trip down and if you want meet up for coffee or a drink or something while you're here let me know.

I think the "classic" bridal look is going to end up working out best for me... I have enough "non-traditional" stuff going with my wedding already I would love to meet up with you- I'll send you a PM!

 

[polynesianbride]

YAY! I am now 1 year from my wedding month! 1 year and 6 days from my actual wedding! I know I haven't been updating much so thought I owed you ladies a little summary even though there really isn't much going on still

I leave for Florida to visit my parents in 10 days which means I will be IN DISNEY with my friend Jodi in 15 DAYS!!! I finally ironed out our ADR's:
Tues Dec 15: Dinner at Kona
Wed Dec 16- Magic Kingdom- no ressies, need to see everything!
Thurs Dec 17- Dinner at Akershus
Fri Dec 18- Breakfast at Cape May then heading back to Naples
I promise to do a mini TR when I get back complete w food pics!

I have started working out again but not with the trainer anymore- I couldn't stand being sore all the time Actually I had totally stopped working out for awhile bc my low back was acting up again- but my wonderful chiropractor got me all straightened out again (no pun intended) and now I have just been working out on my own. I've been doing the elliptical 20 min 3 x's a week bc it helps my back and then just aim to do some weights once a week. It's not much but it's a start. I also quit McDonalds for good back in Oct bc I found out my cholesterol had jumped 40 pts in the last year

I am still waiting for my hourglass to arrive for our sand ceremony. At first I was really annoyed that it was taking so long but I went back and looked at the website and it does say it takes up to 6 weeks plus shipping. Luckily I ordered it in plenty of time so I don't have to rush but I don't feel it was very clear when I ordered it that it would take sooooo long- imagine if i had waited

As for accessories I think I am going to go with the more "traditional" look. I LOVE colored accesories but given the simple style of my dress I think bright shoes etc may look distracting. I did buy a necklace recently but think I will return it bc I haven't been able to track down the matching earrings and I don't think it looks as good on as it did in the store. It's made from prasiolite which is a light green stone which is in the same family as amethyst. I thought the light green was nice and would look good with my flowers without being overpowering. However, in the store it was shown on a white background which made the color look beautiful, however on skin (or the off white shown below) I think it just looks kinda blah. I checked the return policy before I bought so it's not a big deal to bring it back but I'm still undecided. I would have to find earrings to match and so far have been unsuccessful:

Recently I've been leaning towards pearls for some reason. I found this necklace that I LOVE but haven't been able to find it sold anywhere online so I'm going to have to try to track it down in a store somewhere- what do you think?

 

[shippedtosea]

yay! I am very jealous you are leaving in 15 days! Wow thats a long time for the hour glass! Can't wait to see it when it arrives tho! I do like the necklace you bought but I see what you mean about it looking a little plain. I really like the new necklace! I do love pearls so I always lean towards them! Good luck on your search to find them.

 

[MainStMandy]

Oh Very pretty!! I love the pearls!

 

[Chilly]

I like the pearls.
