Say Beverly!​

Okay, well, not really.... because what I've heard of that drink I am sure you will be far from smiling...

However, I got confirmation that OUR HONEYMOON PHOTOSHOOT is BOOKED! How awesome that will be! Friday July 24th at 730 am.... WS.

Vin will have no idea and that'll make it even better. That night will be Ohana by the fireworks...and... we are all set!

If anyone is interested in seeing the outfit I picked you can click over to here ( I don't want to bore you with tons of wedding related info)

I tried to get a semi replica of my second wedding dress for the Photo Shoot, and I'll be stealing Vin's kakhi's and a polo for that day!

9-11 has changed my way of thinking. my old firm was on the 85th floor of tower 1. luckily i was not there but the horror stories my friends went through and 2 people from my firm were murdered that day when the tower went down. i am glad it all worked out! i am sure you will come up with more-you are very creative! i hope i can be creative when i really start planning.

You will be! Put your heart into everything and if you need help you know where I am!

Umm thats crazy Jen! How did they forget Vinnie! I have major pet peeves with airport security, so I will leave it at that...

Anyways, I am loving your plans so far! You have so many surprises planned for Vin! What time is you shoot at WS I don't think I ever asked you?? Are you just going to have pics in Morocco or other countries as well??

I got very excited about reading you CL CM makes your ADR's for you.. Dave and I are doing CL for the few nights after our wedding, and I forgot about that part

I know it really was insane...
I am almost finished with the surprises. Yesterday we went to Target to get a gift card for his cousin and he saw the "fake" Crocks and goes "Jen, I hear that the fake crocs give kids blisters and everyone says the real ones are awesome... So, Im getting them this year..." I can't wait!

Yes! The CLCM make them before the 90 day thingie... and book them all for you at the times you want! So awesome. I don't think I'll ever stay without CL again

Did someone say SURPRISE?​

So, I really don't want to get too much into the wedding on this board...however, I've finally posted the Poems and the pictures of the cards I will be using for Vin's surprises....
If you want to see them, I'll post some teasers here... but if you want the full post you can visit

The Crocs

Card for that friday

Bike Ornament

I have just emailed the Coral Reef to get some information on the sea diver and the menu's that can be personalized. Anyone whose done this, was the process hard? Is it harder at peak times... like... say... July (when I'll be there? )

Just found you and subbied!

We did WDW for our honeymoon last June. You'll have to post pictures of your suite; I'm excited to see it. What a wonderful uncle to help you out!

That's scary about the airport ordeal, but I'm glad it worked out in your favor in the end!

I love your ADRs; wonderful choices!

We did the photo session at the GF on our trip; we were really, really disappointed with how it all turned out, though. I think we got a cruddy photographer. I'm debating on giving it another try this next trip, or if I want to just haul my own SLR camera out there to take pictures.

Is the Coral Reef still doing the divers and menus? I thought I'd read somewhere that was a cutback they'd made since WDW has been trying to make up for the lack of attendance in this economy. PLEASE let me know if you find out they're still doing it, though!!

Oh no...
I hope we don't get a bad photog... Its not worth the money if it is bad....
And stinky to the coral reef it they did stop it. That's no fair. I'd even be willing to pay them!

No fair

Thank you for subbing!! I promise to keep it interesting! lol

4 months and One week from Today....​

At this time, we will be arriving in Orlando! Not only that but we are also now unter 130 days for our wedding and... Today is my birthday! Very exciting day!

So, I am still waiting on the people from the Coral Reef to getback to me about the diver and the menu. I told them I would be willing to pay and wanted to know how much so as soon as they getback to me I will let you know.

I also got a message from the CM at the WL saying that I should wait to book a fantasmic package because as of right now, Fantasmic is only certain days and so if I bookon a day that they don't have it, they can't guarantee us seeing the show... So that was nice of them to contact me, but that upsets me because that's one thing I wanted to do...

Since we already booked Brown Derbie for earlier in the day, Would you reccomend Holywood Dine and Vine or Mama melroses for the Fantasmic package? I am still unsure how the package works, do you get a special card or a print out ticket? Do you just walk in and they give you priority seating ?

My mum and sister and I waited two years ago for two hours and got seated RIGHT in the front. That was awesome. And it was August (the end of August) so we were totally okay with the heat. I'm starting to think that maybe we don't have to get the fantasmic package?

So anyway... I think I am starting to be more excited about Disney than I am about the wedding... Ooops...

Happy Birthday Jenny!!!! I hope you have an awesome day girl!
And Yes, it is totally ok to be more excited about Disney then the wedding lol! I have never done the Fantasmic dinner package and don't really plan on it to be honest... the food at HS is not the best IMO and I usually get good seats just sitting and waiting (the old-fashioned way) . I think you will be ok just going to see Fantasmic and grabbing some snacks inside the theatre

Yeah, I think I've come to the realization that I don't want to do this lolol...

Vin and I barely eat when we go out... We can't get apetizers because, we cant even finish our dinners!! So, Ithink it would just be a waste for us!

Thank you for the birthday Wishes! Its kind of gloomy here in New york. All I can think about is getting on a plane and heading my way out to Florida Who want's to join? lolol

I am still searching the web for some more surprises for Vin. I figured that if I am paying for the extra luggage...I might as well pack it up!

 

[Mrsdisneyb2b]

Does this make me Obsessed?​

So, since it is gloomy and rainy here in Brooklyn, I have decided to start to think and plan... and think some more about what I want to do on this wonderful honeymoon....

If you think theres something wrong with me, please... let me know

Okay so...here is what I've come up with so far..

Sunday July 19​

I usually over dose myself on tylenol PM the night before my trip. Vin says that that makes no sense... however, he has come to terms after our first trip, that Disney... is like Mission Impossible. There is no stopping, you do not pass go and collect any money... you continue...make it to your target and you are then Off...

At least, this is how I am.... The dancing banana represents my hyperactivity (And ADHD...OOps...) that is over used In disney...

So This night, I will have some beautiful gel caps and hit the pillow... And wake up at 4am, shower... and head to the Airport!

Monday July 20th we arrive​

Lets just say this is how I act when we get here....

It's almost as if, the publishers clearning house has coem to my door and has given me a million dollars. Except, in this senario, Disney is my million (We all know disney is priceless now don't we?)

So, Last year, we passed out. The tylenol wasn't taken the night before and so, we were exhausted. Trust me, this year this will nto be the issue. Jetblue serves coffee...and let me tell you, they may have to connect the IV to methat day....

Although I've promised that this honeymoon will be relaxing... Is it bad that I am beginning my marriage with a lie? We will relax.... we will... I promise

Okay so back to day ONE...

I willbe lugging those crocs in my bag, so no matter what we will have to head out somewhere to get them out of my bag and ont he table or on the bed...

So, since vinnies first destination is ALWAYS Epcot, I am pretty sure that that's where we will probably head first. I am starting to think, though, that Epcot is the furthest away from WL? Oh well...

The only thing I dread are those air conditioned Busses... they make my fingers blue and I seem to be the only person on th ebus with this problem. Vinnie always makes me place my tushie on the back seats...the ones ontop of the engine, to avoid blue lips and worried guests on the b us....

So, on to the bus, probably to Epcot... and since he's always wanted to just mush around, I figured, this would be the best time to take him to just get something from there...

There are plenty of places that we havn't done there yet though... Last year we never got a chance to do Soarin which upset us both. I want to also do:

Turtle Talk with Crush
Wonders of Life
Honey I shrunk the Audience

Now, we probably won't be able to do all of these....but, that (I hope) will buy us enough time till our luggages come...

Unless of course Vin wants to just "Explore" Wilderness lodge...In that case... forget what I just wrote!


Anyone whose stayed at WL, can you give me any ideas of what to do there? I heard theres a trail?

Up next... Night 1, Day two...

 

[ariel1025]

Hi Jen!! I love, love, love all your surprises so far for VIN!! I just wanted to say that if you hate the buses that much (and, really, who doesn't ). From the WL you can take the boat over to the Contemporary and then grab the monorail to Epcot

As far as touring the hotel there are a bunch of little trails on the property that don't really lead to anywhere. Of course there is also the geyser that goes off ever houry. And inside the hotel you can search all the floors for "secret nooks." The hotel really is so neat that you will probably want to spend a little bit of time exploring.

Hope that information helps!!

Happy Birthday

You've made me even more excited now!
Boat to the contemporary.... and then shuttle...I LOVE the shuttle! Thank you!

Did somene say Nikon!

So, yesterday was my birthday. My fiance surprised me (If you want to read the specifics...http://disboards.com/showthread.php?p=30730515&posted=1#post30730515 ) With a NIKON D40!

Beyond the fact that I have always wanted a camera like this, I am also freaking out because I am not sure how to use it the way I want to use it.

In the midst of celebrating, I posted that I got one and can't find the thread I posted on That's what I get for posting while crying! lolol


Does anyone have one of these? My hope is to capture the fireworks during the friday that we are there so that I can get really awesome pictures... but, I am not sure how to capture them!

So, YAy for the Nikon... but I m a bit worried!

But PS- the Disney store box came today which means that I can post pictures of all Vin's surprises! I cant wait to be the surpriser instead of being the one surprised!

 

[Mrsdisneyb2b]

Day Two Perhaps?​

Tuesday, July 21​

So, the second day...
My plans were originally to sleep late... and surprise Vin with the shirts (I bought Donald and Daisy shirts, and I am ordering "bride and Groom" iron on's for them...hopefully they fit nicely... lol)

So, how to get Vin out and about. Well... I figured since we have the 6:30 ressie for Biergarten, We will probably head there early since this is Vins favorite place...

But, I was hoping we would be wearing our Bride and Groom shirts! So... How to get Vin out and get the shirts in!

My first idea was, to wake up early and tell him we should try the breakfast from the Consierge... and then, tell him I have to run back to get my camera, leave him at the table with food (He will never leave food alone) and then throw them on there... How's that sound? lolol

I am sure that todayhe will probably want to meet up with my Uncle, but usually that means Lunch, which I think I would rahter do the first day we get there, and take him to Artist's point since he did save us quite a lot of money!(Sorry so confusing, I am deciding as I type)


06:30 PM Biergarten Restaurant- To wear or not to wear... that is the question I guess we will decide then... Its probably best for vin to see if he's comfy in a Donald shirt...but I know he'll be fine lol...

After Biergarten we will probably head towards France or England for a walk and catch the fireworks. Which will of course be relaxing... I promise you... I will not kill the new husband with hours of running around.... I promise!!
(Enter Pinocchio's growing nose)

We will probably head to the hotel after. I can't wait to find out if we have the Magic Kingdom View room... Now that would be wonderful to sit on our balcony and watch that every night!

 

[Mrsdisneyb2b]

Day Three...What will it Be?​

July 22nd​

Day three is basically going to be our "What do you want to do" day. I promised Vinnie on our last trip i would ditch out itinerary for our hm... Um okay....

So, I am planning on just being free spirited this day...
Dancing and frolicing in the wind...
Singing a tune as I walk through the (crowded) parks
And keeping it as together and non-controlled as possible

All the while in my head I'll be

I Feel like the little engine that could... I think I can I think I can I think I can

I can. Vinnie is one of the most amazing people I have ever met, so I know if I just let it be I will be back to the non-programing of every second of every day.. .and just let life teach me a lesson or two about enjoying it...

However, I would love more than anything to head to a water park followed by Downtown Disney... Mostly because it holds my favorite thing in the world... The Selma Cookie (Please tell me someone has had this cookie?)

Warning... Off Topic Story Beginning....Warning

See, there is major backstory to the cookie. My Idol, Selma Barnabus who was my 3rd grade teacher, recently passed away... last year, the day before my trip to disney....

I was a wreck. We had already payed...and we already were set, so, I was missing the wake. It was very sad for me. See, she was the reason I am a teacher, and I had wrote her to tell her about my upcomming wedding, and how I wanted her to be a part of it...

So here i was, down in the dumps and not even DISNEY could get me out...

When we go to one of the stores in DTD and BAM, there it is. The SELMA cookie. It was also (To my shock and surprise) Carrot cake which was what she used to make for us! Now, I havnt been there since, but to me it was a sign that she was with me... I know... how could a cookie tell you that? lol.. But what arethe odds?
Off Topic Story... Ended

So, hopefully, this third day will be a walk in the park (Or DTD)

Thursday, July 23

So, we can't stay out that late... because....

08:20 AM The Crystal Palace

Now, I am sure that you've seen past pictures of vinnie and his favorite place (CP) If not, let me add some more

And it's only fair to add a little of me (At this time you would hear "VIN, take the pic, vin take the pic come on vin")

Which means the rest of the day will be followed by MK! YAY!!!
I am dying for Vin to be "that guy" for Mike Laugh Floor... I LOVE that attraction...

One thing we won't be doing "Stitch's Great Escape"

The first time I went on that ride.. I didn't quite understand it.. since well... It's not a ride, but we will certainly not be doing that...

Its a small world......YES
Many adventures of Winnie The Pooh......YES
Snow white.......YES
Splash Mountail..........A MUST. Vin loves that song... and I love Brair Rabbit!

Hmm... So, the rest of the day will probably be... Walk...Laugh... Point... Ride... Walk....Laugh...Point...Ride... Take a break and a few pictures....
Head back to the Hotel... Relax!

 

[Mrsdisneyb2b]

My Travel Buddy!

I just realized I NEVER introduced my WDW Travel buddy....(and bag)


(Please ignore the Bed Sheets...I am a huge....HUGE....HUGE napoleon Dynomite Fan... Liger....Oh yeah)

Anyone else have one of these guys! I LOVE HIM!

 

[HeatherBelle614]

Oh; you're going to love your Nikon! I have a D60. My advice is to read the manual that came with it; you can look up other people's opinions on the best way to use it, but you have to teach yourself your own methods to get great shots.

Play around with it and you'll pick things up quickly. It is a very easy D-SLR to learn!

 

[Mrsdisneyb2b]

Mousekeeping.... What do you do?
So, I came across these AWESOME envelopes... and I can't wait to use them!

http://www.themouseforless.com/downloads/trip/mousekeeping2.shtml

Now, Call me crazy... but I used to tip daily....

How much do you tip? Do you tip them daily or weekly?

I kind of neverknew...and just assumed that daily was supposed to be....

Thanks guys!

Lets go back two years shall we?​

So, I hope I havn't put everyone to sleep... If I havn't already, I thought I would take a step back and let you guys in on what we were doing...

Vins first trip to disney was two years ago and that was when he fell in love....

Here is us at Carribbean Beach Resort:

Espesially with Morocco

A Little Walt

Canada (I think)

Next Stop... The engagement Trip!​

Then we headed to CB last year...because he just didn't get enough CB the year before!

And I think we had an even better time than the year before...
We were semi off the path of the rest of CB's islands and in a way we had our own beach our own pool etc...and it was almost always empty!

Pool- July and Empty!

Our Engagement Celebration

Port Royale

OOooo And...More Vinnie and his Crystal palace Food!

 

[shordiebecka]

Just stopped by your PTR- I love your surprises so much! I want to do something like that for my bf but he's not as into Disney as i am .

Can't wait to read more. What an exciting trip!
