Samantha and Wes's Magical Disney Escape 08.09.10 - Last thoughts about our Trip!

[TinkLoverSam]

I have not heard anything about the Mom's Panel feature so I am a little disapointed as I'm not sure it will be happening now Still three months to go so we'll see...

In other news I got called in to work early today as one of the ladies went into labour last night We have not heard from them yet (her husband also works at the hotel) so hopefully we'll hear if Sophie was born or not last night. So less than five hours of sleep later I'm at work a little dazed and confused

I will be talking to my mom tomorrow morning about her dress shopping experience so we'll see how that went and then I gotta when I get home tonight, ok I'll probably nap and do it with DF when he gets home from work a few hours later.

I GET TO HAE A MAGIC KINGDOM BRIDAL SHOOT!!!!!!

My grandmother is giving us enough of a wedding present that it will cover the cost of an MK/AK bridal shoot

I"m soooo happy that I get to have one. I never thought I would be able to afford it but... we're officially booked for August 11th with a 5am pick up.

Yeah that's the only slight downside... 5am. Good thing we don't have any real plans for the day after the wedding.

YAY - Congrats - I am sooo happy for you!

 

[shippedtosea]

awesome! congrats! I always wanted to do one.

 

[TinkLoverSam]

awesome! congrats! I always wanted to do one.

Thanks! I always wanted one too but never thought it would be possible... I am so excited for it even if it is at 5am, which is like an hour and a half before sunrise but... it will be awesome!

 

[Disney9.9.10]

That is so exciting!! Congrats on getting your shoot!

 

[Nitsa]

Yay! I cannot wait to see your photos...especially the AK ones!!

 

[TinkLoverSam]

I can't wait to do them... now to convince DF to buy the hi-res disc

 

[TinkLoverSam]

I ordered ties, pocket squares and a vest for the groom from www.dessy.com as I was starting to think that I didn't like the red shirts as much.

So DF and his brother will now be wearing white shirts with their black suits and they will both have red ties and pocket squares and DF will also have a red vest. I think they'll look great.

My mom has bought her MOB outfit she did end up getting an outfit from Alfred Angelo though none of the ones I posted on here she got the top from this one:

in the white
and the bottom from this one:

in the black.

I think it will look great.

We also ordered some customizable T shirts from www.disneyshopping.com they have Disney accross the front with a bunch of characters and across the back you get two lines of text so we got "Bride" or "Groom" across the top and the wedding date "August 9th, 2010" across the bottom. They are really cute we got them in a few different colours I will post pics after I get home from work this evening.

That is so awesome you are able to do a MK portrait session! It is definitely the one thing I regret!

 

[TinkLoverSam]

Whoohooo!!! We are in double digits 99 days to the wedding (and 95 days until Disney World)!!!!!!!

 

[daisygirl902]

Whoohooo!!! We are in double digits 99 days to the wedding (and 95 days until Disney World)!!!!!!!

YAY - congrats!

I drive all of my friends crazy every trip because at 120 days I put the countdown on my MSN and Facebook, and update it first thing in the morning every day!

 

[Disney9.9.10]

Yay double digits!! I love the outfit your mom ended up getting. I like that it is a MOB outfit, yet it is still elegant and doesn't look like it is meant for your great grandma many years ago lol

And somehow I missed that your date is August 9th (oops! not sure how) But that is exactly 1 month before my date, and it was one of the dates we were considering when we chose our date.

 

[TinkLoverSam]

Well now DF's family seems to be coming down Saturday (probably won't go to the welcome dinner) leaving Tuesday the day after the wedding. I really thought that as we don't see them very ofter (ahem never ahem) that they might stay for a little and see us but... apparently not.

I other news the WINTER STORM WARNING yes I said winter storm warning seems to have passed... yay for snow in May and I don't mean oh look snow is falling I mean look at all that white stuff on the ground.

Don't believe me?

Now you do.

Here are the pictures I promised of the shirts we ordered from www.disneyshopping.com

the back of the groom shirt and front of bride.

I never posted any photos of our rings and I love them and I am actually on the Dis at home not on my iTouch so now is the perfect time to share them.

Here is my engagement ring:

It's hard to see but there is a heart cut out on the side of the setting for the stone.

Here is the matching band:

And here is the set together:

Here is DF's ring:

it's a little hard to see but there are 6 small stones set in his ring.

I really wanted his ring to look like it went with mine and I wanted him to like it. We found this ring and we both really liked it and I liked that it had the little chanels where the stones were set so that it was sort of similar to mine.

3 Months to the day to the wedding!!!! I can't wait for them to pass so we can get to Disney and have some FUN!

 

[shippedtosea]

yay 3 months! they will fly by, trust me.

 

[sambycat]

i dont know why i've never thought about AK portraits - its my favorite scenery of all the parks and i just love to wander around there..... looking for some examples of pics, not seeing any actual bridal portraits. will be excited to see how your go!!!!

 

[TinkLoverSam]

We have added the Cinderella D package that comes with the hi-res disc so as soon as we have the disc (and you know the wedding) I'll post pics. I want to have lots of pictures in the Discovery Island section of the park to get the unique greeness f that park in the picturesm we'll probably get some in Africa and Asia but more of the green, lush pictures.

 

[Boardwalk_bride]

yay, 3 months!

I had the Cinderella D package as well, and I think it is a really great deal (I priced everything that comes with it individually, and this saved a lot, plus, I don't need to worry about getting all the prints and albums on my own).

Animal Kingdom is such an amazing place to get portraits done. DH and I are in love with our pictures from there. I didn't give them any direction, since I thought all of the park was so pretty, and we have such a great variety of shots!
