See! I knew you were a big softy!

Do I need to cut you!?!?!

Another quick update.

When I got home from work, I found the proposal from Disney Floral in my email inbox. It came in $40 less than I expected.

With some minor tweeks and changes to our banquet event orders, we'll be right on budget!

Now if we can just sort out the concerns about the AdvClub, we're back on track!.

Whew! Cross your fingers and toes, kids!

See...you got a little something good today. It's all going to work out just fine.

Anyone been over to the rumor board lately?

 

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

Yeah, I just saw it. I hope it's true. I just wish that if Disney was going to go all out and announce the closure of the clubs, that they could have given us some hope that with the news of the changes. I realize that we are still very much in rumor mode right now, but with over 2200 signatures on a petition and countless emails to guest services and such, in less than 3 days, I would think that it would be wise for them to go ahead and make an announcement.

I am subscribing to your thread because I think that your event will be unforgettable. I am sorry about the AC but I definitely think you should go forward with your plans!!

Fill us in please!

 

[rpmdfw]

Can y'all do me a favor and NOT discuss this rumor here.

We're finally starting to come to terms with the situation we're in with the club closing the night before our ceremony.

I've been through enough of an emotional roller coaster over all of this that I'd rather not deal with it on the Wedding Planning thread.

Now that you got your quote from floral, what are you doing for flowers? or did you post that back a while ago and in my blondeness have forgotten?

I did mention it, WAAAAAAAY back in post #2 on this thread.

We're doing 6 boutonnieres and 3 corsages. That's it.

Interestingly, the corsages cost twice what the boutonnieres cost.

Staying on budget for a wedding? You're a miracle worker!

Well, it's the latest round of the budget which has grown a few times since last June.

My florist friend says he would rather make an arrangement than a boutonnier or corsage. Those little details are so labor intensive.

 

[wallyb]

What about corsage hats!
It's a 2for!

Didn't Rick tell you to stand in a corner and be quiet?

I'm pretty sure he did!

So . . . you're a baby?

 

[wallyb]

So . . . you're a baby?

You can call me that... if you like.
I prefer "oh baby" or "yeah baby".

Funniest thing I've hear today

though I haven't been awake very long.

We just got off the phone with our wedding planner.

No real changes. She re-assured us that security would be in place to avoid "looters" and "crashers".

There's not really much else that DFTW can do about it. They seem as shocked by all of this as we are.

I have to say, we still feel really betrayed and hurt by Disney with all of this. I'm not going to say that our big day is "ruined" but it is definitely diminished. No way around that. And our plans to head out to PI after the reception and again on the Monday following the wedding . . . well, we need to change those plans, too, of course. And we're going to have to send out a letter to all of our out-of-town guests to let them know to ignore our previous advice to purchase the "water parks and more" add on to their tickets so they could join us at the AdvClub. Hopefully none of them have already bought their tickets.

Even so, I still have nothing but fantastic things to say about Disney Fairy Tale Weddings. I DO feel a lot better about things after this phone call, and the fact is that every time we deal with ANYBODY at DFTW, it's an overwhelmingly positive experience. They're great people.

The people who made the decision to close P.I.? Yeah, well my opinion of them isn't as great.
