Trip Number 9 ~ It's the Most Wonderful Time of Year ~ Christmastime at the GF & Poly

Happy Anniversary! My 18th anniversary was Monday, but we're going out Sat. Night due to the fact he was in FL :(

He got me a Cinderella castle Alex & Ani bracelet. :)
 

So while DH & DS14 were off enjoying some archery, DS11 and I went out for a little Poly shopping and exploring!

We decided that we would walk over on the GF side of the Poly. I wanted to get a nice picture of the Poly from over there to blow up and frame and put in my living room.

We walked the whole way to the GF wedding pavilion and then turned around and headed back towards the Poly.

I set my camera up on a light post and set the timer to take a picture of us together!

Just then a CM was coming by on a bicycle and he parked his bike and jumped off and came over and asked if we wanted him to take our picture!

Pretty soon we started to see people coming out of the wedding pavilion. Jodi and family were at the wedding that was taking place!

And then we actually saw Jodi and family coming out and they were waving at us! I couldn't believe we could see each other from that far away!

DisneyDecember20121210_zps02273169.jpg


DS and I continued to play on the beach. Jodi and I were texting and she was updating me on what all they were doing after they left the wedding pavilion.

Pretty soon DS and I started walking back towards the Poly. As soon as we did we noticed a small private wedding ceremony taking place right there on the beach! :lovestruc

It was so cool! We quietly walked around them in the grass, but I had to look back and take a quick pic!



Up Next: More Poly time


 
Great update! :thumbsup2 I always love exploring around the resort. You got some really good pics! Do you know yet which one you will frame and put in your living room?

That was so nice of the CM to offer to take your pic. I know he would have done it had you asked him to, but how nice for him to get off his bike, stop whatever he was heading to do, and offer on his own. Think the nasty train guy would have done that? :laughing:

So funny that Jodi was at the wedding going on at the GF! Did you know while you were walking that the wedding would be going on at that time? I was trying to pick Jodi out of the people in the pictures. Is she the blonde with her back to the camera, wearing a *surprise* black dress? ;) I remember that the dress she bought for the wedding was black and white, so that, plus the blonde hair, made me think it could be Jodi.

I love seeing the wedding about to take place on the beach! Were the bride and her father just about to walk down the asile/beach? How sweet! :lovestruc

when I saw the photo I wondered too if that was Jodi!!
 
Shelly Love the update! Love the luau cove side Pictures! I ordered a new camera yesterday, an Olympus Pen hopeing to get some great pics of the
Poly too. I use to use a SLR back in the day and miss the shots so with any luck the Pen with interchangeable lenses will help me get the nighttime shots I want without having to lug around a heavy camera.

That was so neat that you saw Jodi !

Happy Anniversary!
 
That's cool that you got to see Jodi.

Did you choose a picture to hang in your living room?? I loved all of them.

I would have loved to have my wedding there!
 
Beautiful pictures Shelly! I loved your walk around the resorts! So, so pretty! That is the whitest sand I have ever seen. It's not even that white in the Bahamas! Just gorgeous!
 
I love that you and your youngest guy got to spend some special time together. What pretty pictures! :thumbsup2

How nice was the CM to take that photo for you. That kind of stuff makes Disney employees stand out. Pretty awesome!

The private wedding pictures really made my heart smile. How intimate and sweet. Very touching!

The little wedding on the beach looked so cute and romantic. :lovestruc
