Toni & Bobby's Shabby Chic wedding PJ & TR (SBP/Attic/UK) 2/2/09 *COMPLETE*

[figmentfan814]

That's too funny about your dream. I think a girl's only visit to Disney sounds like a lot of fun

The day after your wedding sounds like ours too. We were exhausted and actually cancelled our breakfast, but a lot of people wanted to skip it anyway I'm impressed that you made it to the Crystal Palace after your MK shoot. We had ours two days after the wedding, I don't know how you were able to get up so early the very next day

Looks like you still had a nice day with family even if you took time to go back to the room to rest for part of the day

Aww I was talking to you when you guys were eating in Tutto. Your dish was the Penne caprese. Sorry you didn't like it, it's normally really really good. Your's looked like it was lacking sauce, sort of dry. Bobby's chicken looked really good.


Your room looked so cute all decorated.

Oh I love CP breakfast. Bobby's neice is so cute.

HAHA Bobby's brother with the smoke in the picture, it is kind of cool looking. haha.

 

[anewmac]

I can only imagine being so tired that next day. Pic came out great! Were you the only wedding being photographed there, then?

 

[bourgie]

your wedding pictures are just awesome....the best i have seen.................

 

[figment fan21]

Awe Toni I just looked at all your MK bridal photos... they're beautiful! For 4:30 you guys look great!

 

[Pirate's Princess]

Ouch 4:30 in the morning right after your wedding?!?!?! You look beautiful though! That's just crazy. Did you get your hair and makeup done again?

What a fun filled day! would you recommend doing the MK shoot right after? Glad you like CP, I love it! It's my favorite character breakfast!!

Sorry to hear about Tutto Italia. It's on my list of places I want to go next time. (and being from NJ, you ALWAYS get pasta on the side!!!)

PS The smoke effect was cool! Haha

 

[Chilly]

A great start to the honeymoon.

Toni, I've also had that dish at Tutto. However, I loved mine. Sorry, you didn't think it was all that. That's so fun that you were able to ride the monorail up front! Can't wait to read more!

 

[tiggersam00]

I am amazed you could even function at 4:30 am let alone get such amazing pics lol! Thats funny, I had the same "Tinkerbelle Pixie Dust" Heart on our table at CP when we went last month too

Toni,

Your bridal portrait pictures are great! I'm sure it's great to know that it was worth getting up that early!!

Love your TR! Everything seems so magical!

I don't know how I did it!!! I think its because I really wanted to go there since I had never been plus I knew we were going back to the room to sleep after..lol. It was still nice though. It was fun to go to breakfast as a married couple!

HAHA Bobby's brother with the smoke in the picture, it is kind of cool looking. haha.

The food was good. I would eat there again. I just wasn't a fan of that particular dish I guess. Bobby's food DID look good!! I think I will get that next time!

I can only imagine being so tired that next day. Pic came out great! Were you the only wedding being photographed there, then?

We were the only couple there at the time. There were workers all over and the people that do the stage show practicing. It was funny because when we came out of the castle they were all sitting on the ground and started cheering and clapping for us. It was pretty cool! I wonder which one played Donald Duck!!!!???

your wedding pictures are just awesome....the best i have seen.................

Thank you so much!

Awe Toni I just looked at all your MK bridal photos... they're beautiful! For 4:30 you guys look great!

Thank you!!!! I just can't believe I woke up that early!!!!

Actually I didn't get my hair done. My hair was so in place with a million bobby pins and a ton of hairspray that it stayed that way!!! LOL. I redid my makeup using the samples that Beaute Speciale gave me. I really only needed to touch up because that stayed in place too. I was too tired to wash it off of my face before I went to bed that night!

A great start to the honeymoon.

Thank you!!!

It was good. I think my tired crankiness played a part in it...LOL. I would eat there again though! It was such a cute place. The waiter was so funny.

I am amazed you could even function at 4:30 am let alone get such amazing pics lol! Thats funny, I had the same "Tinkerbelle Pixie Dust" Heart on our table at CP when we went last month too

I am amazed too!!! I mean this is coming from someone who wakes up at 8:30 to be at work by 9! LOL. I think I was just excited by the fact that I could go into MK with nobody around! It was a fun experience! I think that is the standard wedding pixie dust! Mickey Confetti in the shape of a heart!

Toni,

Your bridal portrait pictures are great! I'm sure it's great to know that it was worth getting up that early!!

Love your TR! Everything seems so magical!

Kim

Thank you so much!!! It was such a great experience. I think if people can fit it into their budget, they should!

Looks like you had a fun day! I'm part Italian from NJ-I would've asked about the pasta too!

Ahh see so you know! You always have to have a side of pasta with any type of chicken or meat! I do know what the waiter is saying though. They do courses in Italy. I think the pasta is a course by itself and then comes the meat. I like that they stay authentic there.

Even though you didn't do much it still sounds like a fun first day. I'm glad your hair and makeup stayed nice so you didn't have to go through that whole process again and make your day even longer! I would have never known you didn't have it redone from looking at your pictures!

I think you made the right choice to slow down that day. We were really tired the day after our wedding also and also did our BP shot that next day (though ours was way later than yours). We just kept pushing ourselves though instead of resting up and I got sick that evening from being tired. My own stupidity!

The 1Bdrm at VWL looks really nice. I have a feeling DH and I will have to purchase more DVC points soon. I just like the looks of the 1Bdrms SO much better than the studios, LOL!

Can't wait to read more!

Aww i'm sorry you got sick!! We figured we were going to be there for almost 2 weeks so we had plenty of time to get in what we wanted to see. That kind of became our theme for the trip and sadly we really didn't do as much as we wanted. We fully intend on getting in lots of stuff when we go back in January though!

The one bedroom villas are great. We felt like we were in an apartment the whole time instead of a hotel. I wish I could have lived there!

 

[Flurbee]

Toni,

Even though you didn't get to do alot on the first day, it was good you got some extra rest!! I have never eaten at CP, but that food looked really good!! I like the sweatshirt you were wearing, did you have that made? I love the 1 bedroom at WL, it looks so nice!! Do you have to have dvc to stay there, or can you just pay for it?? Looking forward to more...

Off to look at your MK shots...

The food was really good!!!! Very yummy! A friend of mine made the sweatshirt actually. It was good because it started to get chilly that day! I am not sure if you can actually just stay their without DVC points but you can always rent DVC points from someone. I know they do a lot of renting on the DVC section of the boards.

 

[tiggerrifficheidi]

We stayed at VWL in a 1BR in June through a normal cash reservation, so yes, you can do it.

I have heard that the DVC reservations available for cash reservation through CRO is because of a couple of things.

1. Disney retains ownership of some points, which Disney has the right to offer through CRO for cash ressie.

2. If rooms reserved for points are not booked at the 60 day window could be made available to CRO to book

So, yes, it's possible. I don't know the rules and availability, but it can be done.

And just like Toni, we loved the 1BR at VWL!!!

Sorry to hijack, Toni!

I am so glad you posted this. It's good to know because I have had some family members ask me this and I had no idea!!!! Now I can't wait to stay at the 1BR at BLT!!

Now I can't wait to stay at the 1BR at BLT!!

Me, too!!!

Honeymoon Day 2
February 4, 2009​

I am afraid this day was not exciting either. I wasn't really feeling well this day. I guess it was coming down from the whole wedding high and I really didn't feel like doing anything. Again we had the though of "well we will be here for a while so it's no big deal". My family had all been out doing the parks but Bobby and I just kind of hung around the room. We eventually decided we should do something so we decided to walk around Animal Kingdom. So we hopped in the car and headed over to Animal Kingdom.

It was extra magic hours here so we didn't show up until like 4pm. Everyone was leaving while we started in. Bobby wanted to head over to the Safari so that is what we did.

First, we stopped off at the tree to take some pictures.

So Bobby went on the Safari because I just really didn't feel like going on. I just sat on a bench and waited for him. There was no wait to get on so it didn't take too long. I just people watched while he was on.

We then walked all around Animal Kingdom checking things out and fully intended on just walked around and coming back another day to do some rides. Since all we did was walk and take pics here are some pictures.

We were going to eat in the Rain Forest Cafe but since I wasn't feeling well I really just wanted to go back to the room so we decided to go to the food court and get a tasty bacon cheeseburger!

So that was the second day of our honeymoon. Not at all exciting but I swear we actually did do some things eventually on this trip.

Now to end this update here is a random shot of Bobby on the WL elevator.

Up next.............Honeymoon Day 3!
