Two Castles and a Polynesian Dream (A Wedding & a Disneymoon) Update*Mr & Mrs*

[Stefy]

Day 9 - Saturday September 24th
Today is Guys & Girls Day. Dave and Joe will be go off and hang out in Epcot to eat and drink around the world.

Me and Sophia will be starting our girly day with some shopping in Downtown Disney. Am looking forward to shopping, as we can do so to our hearts content without our other halves moaning about it

After shopping we'll head back towards the MK area to check in for our reservation at

This is going to be lots of fun as I have always wanted to check this place out, seeing as how I go for Afternoon Tea alot with my mum here in the UK. Not sure what I will order, but I know I want lots of those yummy look pastries

After Tea we will most likely head over to MK to do some more shopping, maybe catch a few rides and get some PP photos too. The boys have been instructed to do the same.

Dinner that night is at...

Am hoping we get a outside terrace table so we can stay there to watch Illuminations. Was really great to watch from there last year.

Really looking forward to this day, is going to be lots of fun, will be strange being in a park without Dave, but I know it will be just as fun with Sophia

Well, the plans sound great for both Days 9 and 10. But I do have to say that I have a slight preference for Day 9's plans.

We are really looking forward to meeting you and Dave...it will be one of the highlights of our trip.

What a fun Day 10...girls on their own, guys on their own!

Love the plans for days 9 and 10!

Yay on having resort and shopping time before your MNSSHP! I love that the blue fairy costume lights up!

Hope you enjoy your afternoon tea at Disney World. I'm sure you girls will have a great time while the boys do their own thing!

Thanks The costume is really cute, I was hoping to buy it when we are over there at Party City, but apparently its an online exclusive. So will have to order here instead.

Looking forward to Gardenview, is a first

Hi Stefy!

Remember me? Due to some real life issues I have fallen behind AGAIN, but I have to say that days 8, 9 and 10 look awesome. So does Dave's ring! And I just LOVE all your new shirts!

Can't believe that you are less than 2 months away from becoming a married woman and that you are already in the "1 month and a bit" zone until your vacation!
I am so looking forward to reading all about your actual adventures and your beautiful wedding!

Days 9 and 10 sound like so much fun! Yummm...Earl of Sandwich! What kind is the sandwich in the picture?

Also love the Garden View Tea Room...and the blue fairy, what a cool costume idea!

If memory serves me right, it was the seasonal sub which at the time was the Thanksgiving sandwich. It had turkey, stuffing, cranberries and something else I think but it was so damn good! I am hoping they will have it available when we go this year.

Hopefully they will have it for you

Planning wise for Disney, I booked us a chauffeur to take us to the airport on departure day. It is a bit extravagant, but I wanted to start our Honeymoon off in style, something special to remember. The guy I spoke to was very nice, we got chatting and I mentioned in passing that we were going on honeymoon (as he was saying he does the airport the way we do it...car and lounge) hence why we wanted to get a private transfer as well as chill in the lounge. He was so sweet he gave us a discount on the car. Our first little bit of

I am in the process of booking our transfer from POFQ to PC, just waiting to hear back from them with the final price. Also still need to book POFQ, but that can wait a little while longer.

Think that's pretty much it for now. Stay tuned for more Day by Day [/B]

Ok, so I am taking forever to catch back up (obvs ) but would you please PM me the company you contacted for transfer? I think this might be an extra special way to surprise my DH on our arrival at Disney as well as our departure! (Especially since my original plans fell through).

I also didn't realize you would be at WDW the same time we are.... I guess I thought you were taking the cruise afterwards?

 

[jenneth79]

Thanks Can't wait to do the dummy run



Thanks Yes it was slightly annoying, but am glad it didn't affect us too much. How about you?

They changed the hours? I must be looking at the wrong schedule.... I'm still seeing Ak EMH on Monday and Wednesday..... 19th and 21st?

Disney confuses me!

 

[jenneth79]

Lol Love it. Dave says there is an Optimus Prime one. Also the Justice League one and Batman ones are pretty cool and the Iron Man one too

Dave is v pleased with his ring which I am glad as he was like "why do I have to have one" to which I responded with one of my not impressed looks.

Now I am going to have to find that... thanks Dave! (I think...)

I will have to find a pic of Mike's ring... we had the same issue and it was as close to a tattoo that both he and I agreed on. I love the ring though... and he never takes it off. He said the only thing that takes some getting used to is the way the ring hits the steering wheel in the car. That's the only time over the first few months that bugged him.

BTW Stefy, I didn't mention it, but now that I've properly gone back and caught up, your ring is lovely as well!

Will PM you the website for our US transfer They do towncars and other cars, but if you are looking for something extra special like a Bentley or Jag Dave might know of a site, will ask him.

Maybe we will run into each other when we are there, would be nice

OMG have they changed it again?!? I swear it was EMH on the 20th!!! Crap gotta change our days around again now! Thanks for pointing that out

Well hopefully Dave will be used to the ring by the time we get a car (life goal for next year is to pass our driving test before April). Your DH's sounds nice, must post a pic

Thanks, love my ring, can't wait to wear it

I would love that! If you stick with your plans the way they are, perhaps we could say hi at AK! (We will be there on the 20th...) It would be great to see if we could catch up.

Don't take my word as the be all end all.... but it does look like my EMH does not match up with what you have....I got that off the Disney site... it did look like they made changes to DHS as well, keeping it open later (not that I'm complaining! )

Apparently I am too bored at work today... ha.... here's a pic of our rings:



If you are anything like me, you'll spend a good day or so just staring at your hand... admiring the effect! So exciting!

Unfortunately we have changed them back round as we want to make the EMH rope drops for them. Are there any other days our paths cross?

I swear and even Dave backs me up that the dates changed and have weirdly gone back to how they were originally. They defo have made changes to Disney though as it was supposed to be open til 10pm not 12am

Love your rings, v beautiful I still stare at my engagement ring from time to time (like the way the light catches it) so am guessing that both will keep me distracted. I was saying to a friend the other day that I saw a cartoon of a womans brain which showed it like a pie chart for shoes, shiny things, work etc and I said that at least half a portion of mine is shiny things, I'm like a magpie

Hey Guys

How are we all doing? Another start to another week. Hope your Monday's went ok.

So I realised I made another boo boo and got a little ahead of myself in the day by day play. Got the day number wrong. But its all rectified now and we can resume back to our original program

Couple of changes. Disney changed their hours yet again, which was annoying and had me doubting whether I was going mad or not. So Days 6 & 7 which are AKL and Epcot will now be reversed and our new layout is Epcot then AKL (which was what it was originally). Can you see how it a) drove me mad and b) made me think I was mad?!?

No big changes and was pretty easy to rearrange the days. Only had one reservation to switch over and that was our Via Napoli lunch.

In other news, our roses finally turned up today and we will be making up a test centrepiece soon. Will post pics as soon as

We got Dave's wedding shoes at the weekend and he is very pleased with them. He also got his cruise suit and looks very dapper, all we need now is to get him some new shirts.

Other than that we are so up to date with wedding plans I actually have time to breathe. Although it is slightly unnerving being so on top of everything, feels like the calm before the storm.

One thing that has kept us occupied are our little surprises for each other and its so cute to see Dave getting all excited about what he has done. I am finalising my surprises v soon and am so anxious and excited for him to see/get.

My birthday is next week and Dave gave me an early birthday present which is so cute and I love love love

Isn't it just adorable, I came across it one day on Etsy and showed Dave and he surprised me with it

Well life update wise that's pretty much it. Stay tuned for Day 10, just sorting that update out now

Day 10 - Sunday September 25th
Today I actually have no clue what is happening apart from that we are having breakfast at...

That eggs benedict was delicious

and that dinner is at..

Basically today is called Dave's Day of Surprises where he has planned the entire day completely and promises that it will be a day to remember. Am very excited as no one has ever done anything like this for me before. Am so lucky

 

[Stefy]

Ooh one thing I forgot to post was a small change in plans on Day 4. Once we get off the ship and find Joe and Sophia, we will be going to iHop.

Why is this so exciting you say? Well we have never been to an iHop before and I have always wanted to go being a huge lover of pancakes. So thank you again to Joe and Sophia for agreeing to have breakfast there

 

[KatMark]

What a sweetie Dave is giving you birthday gift early. That is a very cute bracelet.

We used to go to IHOP all of the time and then the food went downhill at the ones around us and then they closed most of them. When we were out of town recently, we went to one and it was very, very good. Enjoy!

 

[Stefy]

Thanks Looking at the menu for iHop i have no clue what to order as it looks so delicious, but most probably something with strawberries and chocolate
