Thank you everyone for the good wishes! And the lurkers who have come out of the closet! 
Carrie-Tom said he would gladly have worn the pool toy for you. Too bad that was a missed opportunity!
Well, we're here! He wasn't as grumpy as I thought while he waited on me in the airport. I was a nervous wreck, because my flight was a couple hours late taking off in Frankfurt (it had to be de-iced!) and I thought I would miss my connection in Dulles. But...SERIOUS PIXIE DUST...they held the flight to Orlando for those of us arriving in Frankfurt. That's the only flight they held...to my knowledge. So, I made it at about 9:30.
It was so good to see him! Everything was instantly better. We took DME and got checked in around 11:00pm. We didn't ask, but when they find out he was arriving from Iraq and we were here for our wedding, they seriously tried to upgrade us from Garden View to Honeymoon (we have honeymoon from 18th on...) for the whole stay, but they couldn't.
We were bummed that they couldn't, but I know they really tried. Still, it's our first time at the GF, and we love it! We had room service around midnight and had an amazing bottle of wine! Tom had a steak, which he loved after eating dining facility food for 6 months.
It's a little cooler than we'd like, but we're together and we're at Disney, so life is great! Yesterday, we bought DVC at Bay Lake Towers! I had toured in Nov, but Tom hadn't seen it. He LOVED it, and we're SOO excited. We're getting developer points to use now, since our resort isn't done yet, so we're staying at Saratoga Springs Resort for 11 days after the weddings on those bonus points! YIPPEE!!
Today most of the guests start arriving. One of the groomsmen may not get out of Afghanistan in time, but they're trying! Keep them in your prayers!
Here's a picture of Tom trying on ears. And of us on the monorail. And then of my yummy breakfast at Gasparilla Grill. And our dessert at Citricos!
