Dani, I went over to that blog to read about your wedding, and I teared up! Such a great story, and Matt is such a romantic for telling you were beautiful right awayI'd wish you many more happy years together, but I feel like that's a guarantee for you two!
I've been saying it forever, Move It, Shake It is literally the most random assortment of characters ever! Because yeah, you've got your Renaissance Disney, but there's also Incredibles characters, and just...yeah. It's hilarious and I love it.
Mmmmmm Gaston's cinnamon buns. I love that chair, though at 5'3 it's not quite so fitting for me.
Aww, thank you! I think it still stands to date as one of my favorite moments in my life... and I'll never forget it.
Haha it really is such a random parade! But I agree, it's definitely fun and hilarious.
Hahaha Matt looked perfect in the chair. I was still kind of shrimpy, but I'm 5'8", haha.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I love the video so much.
Thank you!! I'm glad you loved it and watched it! Well, now you've hopefully seen both videos!
Add me to the list of people who would run up to you at Disney and tell you how much my family loves your video! Seriously! I'm in love with that first song and my kids love watching it with me. So, THANK YOU!
Sweet wedding pictures! I love the shoes his mama made yall... those are awesome!
That cinnamon roll from Gaston's is HUGE and looks delicious! You said it has a maple flavor? Yum!
AWWW that makes me so happy!! Seriously! I hope you guys have watched our September video, too!
And yeah, Matt's Mom is crazy talented! I totally cried when I opened htem because it was a total surprise from her.
It IS huge and amazingly good! It has a maple frosting on top!
Hi!
It's been a while since I posted, but I am really enjoying your TR. I love the anniversary card that Matt gave you. I am the Disney lover in my family, and I love it when my DH gets me these types of cards. I have rec'd many, as we have been married 35yrs.....
I think you made a wise choice moving your plans to MK, the day looks beautiful. And I am happy to see so many sunshine pictures, this has been a brutal winter here in WI.
I'm happy you found the real Disney outlet, and way to score on some fun vinylmation. Sometimes there is nothing there, and other times I have a hard time deciding what will fit in my suitcase. My DD has a real Disney outlet about two miles from her home in south FL. So it is easy for me to check it out when I visit.
I love your resort choices, esp the Beach Club Villas, and night swimming at SAB. I did read your wedding blog, thanks for sharing with us, your dress was beautiful, and the shoes were perfect.
Glad to see you again here!! We go back and forth in getting each other Disney-related cards.. but they're always so perfect! I think the best one I found for Matt was an Up one... with Carl and Ellie on the front.
I was happy to have gone to MK that day, we had such a good time. And it's looking way better than Seattle, too!
Yeah, we found some good stuff, but like you, I had to be careful about what I bought because of bringing stuff home in our suitcases.
BCV is amazing, as is SAB... and thank you again. Our wedding was a day I won't forget... even though I'm happy it's over, haha.
Awww, your engagement and wedding stories are so cute!! Matt really hit the nail on the head with that card!
I loooooove MK when it's a slow day! Really, I love all of the parks on slow days, but MK doesn't seem to be slow as often, so I cherish it more.
That Starbucks looks good right now... and so does that cinnamon roll!
Thank you! Matt did such a great job with that card.
MK is awesome when it's slow, I totally agree. It's usually the busiest.
I think I just need to go to Disney World right now for both of those things, seriously!
What a great relationship story!!!
Also I just watched your trip videos (internet connection in Egypt is meh at best, so I often don't stream things but I just HAD to watch them)... I loved your videos! You are Matt are the cutest!!!
Thank you! AND YAY! I'm glad you watched our videos, even with a bad internet connection! That is awesome.

I am absolutely in love with your trip report, I'm an avid vinylmation collector too! Spending my day off reading your other reports before the big game starts![]()
Thank you so much! And that's awesome that you collect Vinylmation, too!! Hope you've enjoyed reading my TRs!!
I love your balloon shots. I love Disney balloons. They always make me so happy![]()
I'm so with you, any time I see Disney balloons, I'm taking photos of them!
What a sweet update. I loved reading about how you met and your wedding. Being from Oregon, I understand always having to have a plan "B" from the rain, no matter the month.Your wedding day really seemed so authentic to your personalities. How wonderful! Also, belated Happy Anniversary wishes to you and Matt!
Loved your balloon photos! So pretty. . . .
Thank you so much.. and I'm glad you understand the rain! We had a plan B.... but it would have been nice to get married out on the beach, haha. Oh well!
And thank you! We tried to have our wedding be full of things that represented us. I love weddings where I leave saying, "That was SO them!"
Okay, I sadly fell behind, but I'm getting caught up now! Prepare yourself....
Peoplemover is definitely the best! It's been a favorite of mine ever since I was little. What a better way to just relax and chill.
Ugh, that's the main thing I dislike about Crocs! When it's hot, your feet just get sticky.
I love the Chip and Dale trade!!!
HM is my favorite too. I got the phone case on my last trip. I'm in love with it.
WOAH! Epic HM tattoo!
So you liked the case for waterproofing the phone? I had totally thought about getting one myself, but I actually caved and got an underwater digital instead.
I can't wait for all of the Starbucks locations to be open either!
That is an ugly car! But I love your making the ugliest car possible concept. The poop wagon. Awesome. I too am 5.
Your face in that picture is incredible!
Ewwww, a bag soaked in soda? That sucks!
Girl, I'm in the same boat with the heat! My face gets all kinds of red and sweaty. People legitimately ask me if I'm okay all the time. YES, I'M FINE!
They packaged my two school bread up that way too. And the 5 year old inside me could not stop laughing about it.
Seriously, that bag is ridiculous. I'm so insanely jealous...I can't even......
I would have had choice words for line jumping lady. I'm bad about that. Can't take me anywhere, my mouth gets me in trouble. LOL.
My mom and I are sharers to the end. We always do the "you order this, I'll order this, and we'll split!" I love it, because I too love a smorgasbord.
You were recognized in Disney! That's always a good day.
Awesome that you guys were able to meet. There are just some people on the DIS that you click with. I totally get it.
Ghirardelli is the best! We are lucky enough to have one in Chicago. It's in the dead center of the city, so I don't make it often. But it's just amazing.
Ugh! As a fellow Danielle, I also get irritated when people just can't get my name right! Random irk? A sales rep that works for my company emails me, and insists on opening or responding to my emails by calling me Daniel. Which I find unacceptable, as my name is my Outlook email name AND it's in my signature. It's just inexcusable.
Via Napoli pizza is just so good. So so good.
What I love about that tiny town is that when it's the food and wine festival, they put little food booths up!
WOW! What an amazing thing to win!
Those onion rings do look incredible. And the fact that the onion doesn't slip out and burn the crap out of your lip? Priceless.
No DVC hat?! That stinks. We were able to find one at Saratoga. Maybe they were just out where you were looking?
I'm still obsessed with that magic cookie bar.
Who doesn't want to grow up to be a dinosaur?!
You met Susie too! Awesome!
I've never actually traded Vinyls before. I've been pretty fortunate to not get dupes really. I'm afraid to become a super serious collector, because I know what will happen at that point....
Woah. What an awkward early morning encounter!
See! Now I'm wanting to get more into Vinyls.....dangit!
There's always sharks everywhere, isn't there? It just amazes me.
I saw on IG when you finished your Haunted Mansion collection. Awesome!
Where did you find the display cases? I'm having difficultly finding places for mine.
Ugh, I wanted Frozen vinyls so bad. Nope, it was not meant to be.
Love Matt's Zelda shirt btw.
The dole whip swirl is the best!! It's such a great combination of the pineapple with the sweetness of the vanilla.
Wow, I'm so sorry you had so many problems with the Magic Bands! We had none, which I was not expecting. But that was January. I'm hoping it means they've worked out the kinks.
I can tell you EXACTLY how to get a good score if you ever want to know.
I miss old school Epcot. The majority of my Epcot memories are from the 80's.
The key to Disney Quest is to go on the Pirate's Attraction. It's tons of fun!
Raglan Road is just sooooo good! Those shakes look huge! I always get them from the outside location, and they're very teeny. To me at least, LOL.
What?! The Buzz hoodie has a button that makes laser sounds! I had no idea.
I keep meaning to go to the good outlet and we just never make it there!
I just died when you showed me the bon bon. Or drooled. Or both.
Oooohhh, your story is so amazing! Good on you doing long distance for some time. But clearly it was all worth it. And your cake toppers!? Ridiculous!
OH. EM. GEE. You officially win an award for the longest comment I have EVER received in a TR... EVER.
For the sake of time, I'm not going to be able to reply to every comment... BUT IT TOTALLY READ THEM ALL. I swear... and I enjoyed every single one of them, too.
I will say, the Peoplemover rules, Crocs are not so awesome when it's hot out, Matt also has a HM cover (but one we found on society6), the waterproof phone case was nice BUT Matt just surprised me with a GoPro, so I'm planning on using that during our next trip since it comes with a waterproof case, I'm glad I'm not alone on the hot/sweaty face, haha, I'm jealous you have a Ghirardelli because YUM, I KNOW what you mean about people getting your name wrong at work, HI I'M NOT A DUDE, the onion rings ruled at Flametree, no DVC hat, but now we have some, YAY!, Vinyls are beyond addicting, BEYOND addicting, I have bought display cases at The Container Store and also at Daiso, which is a Japanese Dollar Store and it rules, Dole Whip Swirls are better than everything else, I want to know how to get a score, heck yes, Matt misses old school Epcot like... a lot, Raglan Road is awesome, though the shakes weren't huge, they were perfect size with our meals, and yeah, long distance after spending a ton of time together for a year, to not, was definitely rough but obviously worth it... and the cake toppers still make me happy.
Hey, I didn't do too bad, and that the longest sentence I've ever written, even if it's terrible grammar.
IHeartDuck, that is a dedicated reply! Wow!
So much to love about your last few updates but the wedding stuff is my favorite, from the beautiful dress and story to the Wall-e cake toppers, you guys are just awesome. Boo- your beautiful....sniff sniff.
Alrighty, now I can't even remember the updates. There was a beautiful cinnamon roll, I would remember the food!! And there was some weird story about going offsite...I'm sure you can do that...but why?! No doubt we will be braver when my little kids are bigger, I do need to visit the dark side someday and see Harry Potter.
Thanks as always for sharing.
Haha, longest reply I've ever gotten!
Thank you so much! I loved our wedding, and it took so much time and effort, but it was worth it in the end.

Haha I thought shopping at the outlets would be fun! It was a mistake, NEVER AGAIN! But we will go off-site again for WWoHP, as we're both Harry Potter fans.
Thank YOU for reading!
I tried the Basin hand scrub for the first time last week and am in LOVE! I wanted to buy one, but I just couldn't spare $30. Plus, I left my credit card in the room, and I felt bad even when my husband said he would get it for me. I think I'll play around with making my own hand scrubs first and see how that works before paying for one.
OMG I love that you guys have the matching Woody and Buzz hoodies! And now I want to go back and find that button on the sleeve!!!
When we go to Florida with my parents, we stay off property, and I'm more than willing to go to the outlets with them to possibly find some great Vinylmation and/or pins! Plus, the CMs there usually have much better pins on their lanyards because not many trade with them. I bought 6 packs of lanyards with traders last time because they were so inexpensive. But now that we've had opportunities to stay solely on property, I totally understand not wanting to leave! I can't imagine being off property and on those highways and seeing all those ... people, haha. On property, it's all Disney people!
So it's not just me! We got the lamb platter last week, and I said, "It looks like less food because it used to be on the red and white plates." Then I remembered that we were both pretty satisfied sharing a plate the first time, but I felt that I could eat the whole plate myself this time. I chalked it up to just being hungry. Boo to skimping on portions!
I greatly appreciate the innards shot of the Oreo Bon Bon! I had to take one like that when I finally tried the Zebra Dome because I had kept searching for what was inside before our Disneymoon, but everyone always had the perfect intact desserts in their pictures! Yum, the Bon Bon looks more like something I would enjoy.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the relationship/wedding overview! But who wouldn't considering you guys are apparently celebrities in the Disney circle!
First, I just wanted to say I loved following your trip through IG!
The Basin hand scrub is AMAZING. We bought some in Vegas because Matt said we should... and it's fabulous. We bought the Almond one since Matt likes the smell of almond, and it's so lovely. Let me know if you find away to make a scrub like it though!
Thank you! We don't get to wear them often, but it's kind of fun to on special occasions!
That makes total sense for staying off-property! I just think when you leave after staying on-property in that bubble... it feels so weird. It's all Disney when you're in that bubble, like you said!
I'M SO GLAD YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN ABOUT MOROCCO! How disappointing, right?! I don't normally mind, but because it's so much more expensive, it was a bit of a let down.
I thought people would like to know what the INSIDE of the Bon Bon looks like! It's so good, I think you should try it next time! I still need to try the Zebra Dome at some point.
Aww thank you! We're not really celebrities, I just think we have insane timing with running into people! Hahaha, it was so weird about the video thing though, 3 people in one trip.
Okay, first that card had me crying. And then your wedding story made me cry more.I love how much you guys love each other.
Awww, just me, I cried a lot when I saw that card... AND when I wrote that post, too! Matt is my best friend and other half, and I mean it when I say that.
