Sept 13, 2012 Dream to the Bahamas

[JBeanBunny]

You took pics for 10 HOURS?

Well, we started getting ready at 11 AM, therefore one photographer was with me and the girls, one with the boys. We took pictures nonstop (including the event itself) until just before dinner, around 8. That's 9 hours. Then the next morning, we met up at 8, took a few (empty!) hallway photos before disembarking onto CC, we got back onboard around 10 AM, so that's another 2 hours... So, that makes approximately 11 hours of photography! I paid only slightly more by bringing them onboard than what DFTW/DCL would've charged me for about an hour and a half of photography! Hah!

We saw you and your wedding party several times. We wanted to respect your privacy so we didn't take any pictures. My hubby did come up to you on the first day at Cabanas to ask you if you had recently had a car accident. He couldn't help himself. After that I told him to stop!

Thanks to everyone for the great FE gifts! My last FE exchange we only gave gifts once, not every night. So I am SOOOOOOO sorry we only left a gift on the first night.

My son loved doing what he called the "Ninja" to get the gifts to everyone. I gave him a bag with state room number on it and the gifts inside. I have no idea if he knocked on the door and gave it to you, laid it in front of the door, or put it in your FE bag.

Hope everyone had a great cruise. I personally am exhausted and need to take a nap. I have to leave for LAX in a few hours

Haha, that was the most memorable start to the cruise! Not "Are you the bride in the DIS-meet thread?" but "Were you just in a car accident?" I didn't take offense, but I was a bit surprised by the question! You could've taken photos, everyone else did! Some people were nice and asked our permission! I always said yes! I just disliked it when we were posing when people would try talking to us (Or yelling at us!)... It's like... I'm trying to take pictures here! haha

Phew I am exhausted after this trip! I had to take a nap when we got home! We had a nice trip but we definitely had difficulties that made it harder to enjoy, but that was mostly caused by family dynamic problems. Made it hard to relax and just enjoy. ^( we loved all of the FE gifts!! They were so fun and cute!! Thank you everyone!!

We saw jbeanbunny having photos done on the balcony in the atrium!! You were so beautiful!! My 3 year old niece was just mesmerized by the "princess" she thought you were!! And we ended up following you guys to your room while we were delivering our FE gifts!! I was worried you'd think we were stalking you!! Lol! My nephew was trying to be stealthy by jumping behind things like the maid's carts and stuff so you wouldn't turn around and see him as he was going to drop our gift in your bag! Lol

Thank you again everyone for all of the great gifts!! ^D

I don't think much of the boat missed us- we were EVERYWHERE taking photos! 11 hours of pictures all over the ship! Yowza, no wonder I was so exhausted at the end of it! BTW, my goal was "Princess" so I'm glad I achieved that notion! Everyone was so nice (except this ONE guy who refused to move two steps back so we could finish the shot we were taking! ) I noticed several little kids going wide-eyed when I walked by, then they run off and whisper things to their parents- it was so darling! I feel like there were a couple times that people had dropped things in our bag just after we'd arrived! We'd only stop in for a short time, and there'd be something new when we left! It's so funny that your DS was being sneaky so as not to be seen! We were so exhausted, I'm sure we weren't paying much attention at that point!

It was fun, it was beautiful, and it was perfect for us... but I am SO relieved it's over Now I can enjoy a plain boring life for a while where I don't have to run wedding errands or make wedding crafts on my days off! Agh, I'm dying to see more pictures! It's going to be rough waiting almost a month to get my Pro ones back!

MAN! I bought schimj a watch in the shops and gave it to him after we got home and it seems to not be working!! It was quite expensive so we definitely need to return it... does anyone know if we can return it to WDW? Or do I have to deal with shipping it?

Call their customer service. When we had something similar happen with a low dollar item, they just shipped us a new one. Our item cost about $22. If it was an expensive item then they might want you to ship it to them/return it to WDW.

Yes it is like a $300 item and I would rather take it there and get money back or new item than ship it. Just my luck! I will def call their customer service once it opens!

My brother had the same thing happen to him with a watch he bought on the DC and he ended up getting it fixed at the watch shop at downtown Disney.

I forgot to Pick up my pictures I ordered and pd for and immediately called Disney when I got home. Have yet to receive a call back. I wish they would just send them to my Disney resort since I'll be there in 2 weeks foe the Halloween party.

I believe I ran into your son several times delivering FE gifts. He had a backpack and I would take the elevator and he would be at the next drop off ahead of me. He was fast!

Can you send me their contact info?

 

[otownmamma]

I sure hope you guys get the same level of service we got from them. They seriously jumped through hoops backwards to get one of our pics autographed for us. I was beyond impressed.

I was in the elevator with your hubby to be when a woman assumed he was marrying the guy that was with him! You could tell he was so nervous but we all had a good laugh when the woman got off the elevator. Congrats on your big day! And thanks to the people that left us a fee surprises even though we weren't signed up for FE! Although my ship magnet grew legs and walked away....

I started writing my room numbers on the back of my magnets in case they get moved as a prank. Our FE was actually moved two doors down right when we got onboard and I had a weird feeling it was the crew

They told me about that! Too funny! That was his Best Man and only groomsman! Someone had seen my Best Man and Maid of Honor together and asked if THEY were getting married! Also, at breakfast that morning I was in line at Cabanas joking around with my (female) cousin, and the gentleman in front of us asked if we were getting married... to each other... It was comments like those that broke the tension! Though, Michael and I were VERY relieved after the ceremony was over!

Ok,thanks.

I am already looking into the 4 day next September. One more day would have been great.

OH... MY... GOSH!! That was a phenomenal wedding cruise, but it was WAY TOO SHORT!!! I want to go back now!!! If anybody got any photos of us on our wedding day (or on our CC shoot the next day!) I'd love to have those e-mailed to me! PM me for the address! I hope everyone else had as much fun as I did! I tried to distribute some of our leftover wedding favors, but I had SUCH a hard time finding any FE's!!! It was great meeting some of you!

Here's us with Captain Henry!

Actually my Dad did get a couple of pictures of a couple getting their wedding pictures done on CC. Perhaps it was you! I didn't get a close look at them, so I'll have to ask him to email me the photos and I'll PM you if they are a match

We had 2 magnets stolen

And I saw some common magnets that others in our FE group got... I assume they might've been a FE gift... and we didn't have one. So i think maybe that got stolen too

Next cruise I am writing on the back of any non-personalized magnets "This magnet was stolen from Matt & Tiffany".

Tiffany, did you guys get your sorcerer Mickey and Figment magnets? Want to make sure you still got those!
