Welcome, welcome, welcome!

I've spent the last year and a half reading trip reports, wedding and honeymoon forums and planning our at home wedding and Walt Disney World honeymoon. We've been back now for one week and I'm starting to feel the "trip is over" blues, so thought I'd write myself a trip report to relive the week and to share with others who may be interested.

This is my first trip report, so please bare with me.

Day 00
August 29 2015 - Wedding Day Recap

I won't spend too much time recapping our wedding day as that is not the point of the trip report. However, our wedding and marriage were the reason for the trip so hey, it has some importance.

I got ready with my girls at my dad's house and Ryan got ready with his guys at his parents house.

While we had some breakfast and mimosas and had our hair and makeup done, our photographer showed up and took some photos of us getting ready, our dresses and capturing the general commotion of the morning.

Finally it was ready to go get married! Arrived at the venue - Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington Ontario, and everything went smoothly.

WE WERE MARRIED <3 !!

Things got a bit weird later that night

hahaha sorry! Ryan and I have an odd love of Jurassic Park. We had to! So glad our photographer was into playing along!

All in all, we had a great day with all of our friends and family. We ate, we danced, we drank and we truly enjoyed ourselves.

After the wedding our friends put together an after party at the hotel. We ended up going to bed REALLY late - us ladies were up at 5 AM that morning! Oh well, we had a blast.

Till tomorrow...

Day 0
August 30 2015 - Day After Wedding, Day Before Travel & Packing Day

Well, today was a rough start to the day I can assure you. We had stayed overnight at a hotel by the venue with quite a few of our guests. In typical fashion for our group of friends, this means that we found ourselves the centre of an after party until around 4 AM.

Being the loving wife I now am, I bit the bullet and set my phone alarm for 7:55 AM to get up and check in for our flight to Orlando the next morning.

Once I finished checking us in, I figured it would be a waste to try and go back to sleep so I started cleaning up and packing the hotel room up. We had a lot to do today and I was already exhausted.

We got up and had quick showers, packed up Ryan's Tux (we had to return it today) and hung my dress back up in the garment bag. At 10:05 AM we went down to the lobby as the hotel offered a breakfast. When we got there we were informed that the breakfast closed at 10 AM so we had just missed it.

Well, were up and packed to go and breakfast isn't available so we decide we should just get the car packed up and start our day.

We had to make a pit stop over at my dad's house as I had left some items there from getting ready the day before. We then had to stop at Ryan's parents house for the same reason.

We then came home and unpacked the car and tried to find places of all of the items. We also went through all of our cards and made a stop at the bank to deposit any monetary gifts we received - we didn't want to leave them sitting around the house while we were away.

We finished our packing and cleaned the house for our house sitting guests and it was already dark out. The day had flown by! I had hoped to get to bed nice and early, but that was a slow fading idea as I still had to shower and get ready for bed.

Finally I was in bed by 11 PM with an alarm set for 2:30 AM. Ryan came to bed shortly after - I think he was playing a video game or his guitar downstairs.

Till tomorrow.

I just want to apologize for the lack of photos and massive amounts of text. Starting tomorrow - the official start of the trip as fas as I'm concerned, I start taking photos to document as much of the report as possible. Hang in there!!

Day 1
August 31 2015 - Travel Day

Part 1

After only 3 hours of sleep, the alarm went off at 2:30 AM. Ugh. Wait...WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY! I jump out of bed and wake Ryan up. I ask Ryan to get himself together and start packing the car while I shower.

I jump in the shower and get ready. I then pack up the final items we needed for our trip - toothbrush, toothpaste, etc., and we are ready to go.

I go downstairs to help Ryan finish pack the car.

We feed our fur babies and say goodbye.



Gus Gus

Moss

We finished loading the car and started our first adventure as husband and wife at 3:34 AM.

upload_2015-9-22_20-56-55.png

We were driving to Buffalo to catch our flight - we saved just over $450 by taking the 1.5 hours to Buffalo over departing from Toronto. We figured the savings would give us some more spending money to do something special while we were away!

The drive was quick and painless - no one is really out on the road this early so it was smooth sailing. No issues at the boarder and we arrived at the Buffalo International Airport at just after 5 AM.

We park in the Long Term Parking area - not to bad at $50 for the week. The shuttle to take us to the airport followed us to our parking spot so we had no wait to get on one.

We went to the Southwest desk and checked in / printed our boarding passes. Security wasn't too bad and we were on our way to our boarding gate in no time. We actually had everything run so smoothly this morning that we had plenty of time and decided to go sit down somewhere for some breakfast.

We found a place called Queen City Kitchen and thought it would do for breakfast. We split a breakfast
sandwich (eggs, cheese and bacon on a croissant), a side of potatoes - which ended up being huge! and a side of fruit. Ryan had a coffee and I had a chocolate milk.



This mean came to $26.00. Pretty expensive for breakfast, but we did eat in an airport and we were both full. The food was also pretty yummy. We'd probably eat here again if we were in the same situation - we preferred mixing a few sides and split the sandwich than if we both just got one item.

When breakfast was over, we slowly made our way over to the gate to wait for our flight.


sorry for the terrible photo...it's early in the AM and I went natural haha

Our flight was scheduled to leave at 8:05 AM so we started boarding around 7:40 AM. We were in group B so we had quite a few seats to chose from when we got on.

We found our seats quickly and the plane took off on time. Ryan and I both fell asleep within the first 20 minutes of the flight - hey, we were exhausted from the last few days!

Part 2

Ryan and I had slept through most of the 2.5 hour flight into Orlando. Which was a good thing as we had been running on empty the last few days and really wanted to enjoy our vacation.

We arrived at 10:20 AM, 20 minutes earlier than expected - yeaaa more Disney time! We went to the carousel and grabbed our bags - we had packed one large suit case which was only half full and one small suit case which was mainly full so that we'd have room for any purchases on our way home. Both bags arrived and we and our items have now officially arrived!

We decided that for this trip we would rent a car, which is something we never do. We figured that we wanted to be able to take things more slowly and on our own time. We also planned to go to Universal Studios and shopping so we thought we'd make good use of it. We were able to find a great deal online with Alamo. We rented an economy car for $191.00 after taxes.

Check in at Alamo was a breeze. No line, taken right away. Said no to the additional insurance and we weren't pressured multiple times to take it. We walked out to the garage and got to pick any car out of the assigned row. We took our time and decided on a Nissan Accent





The car ended up being larger than it looked from the outside and it ran great. Most importantly, it had fantastic air conditioning! When we arrived it was overcast, but extremely humid so this was going to be very important for the week!

We set the GPS and we were on our way. Our home for the week would be the DVC Studios at the Polynesian Village Resort.



We were greeted at the check in and ushered to the check in desk. Again, no line. We had done the online check in prior to arriving, so check in was a breeze. We were Congratulated on our marriage and handed happily ever after pins. We were in luck, even though it was only just after 11 AM at this point, our room was ready.

Our home for the week was in the Moorea building, room 3031.





We had the most amazing view. We could see out into Seven Seas Lagoon and could clearly see the Magic Kingdom and Cinderella's Castle.



We spent the next little bit unpacking and making our room feel more like home. We debated going to Downtown Disney to grab some lunch, but we decided that we still weren't that hungry and since we had an early dinner reservation, we'd skip lunch.

We decided to go over to the Florida Premium Outlet Mall off Vineland.

Ryan ended up with a new pair of running shoes from Nike - I believe they were $89.00 + tax, so not too bad. I ended up with a new Kate Spade clutch - I believe it was around $40.00 + tax. I just loved the color (it was one of our wedding colors so it seemed suitable to pick up on our disneymoon).

upload_2015-9-22_20-58-53.png

After shopping at the outlets, we went next door to Publix's grocery store to pick up some items for the room.

upload_2015-9-12_13-22-31.png

We ended up with some sunscreen, fruit, veggie & dip, sandwich items, crackers, wine and beer.

As we were driving back to the Polynesian, it started to rain. When we pulled up to the resort and parked, it was still raining. We weren't sure if we should just grab the bags and make a run for it or if we should try to wait it out a bit. After a few minutes, we decided that we should make a run for it - there didn't seem to be any breaks around us and we feared it was going to get worse.

As we made a run for it, it started raining harder! Once we got under cover we laughed and were glad we made a run for it when we did.

Got back to the resort and there was a special gift waiting for us! How sweet is Ryan. He had arranged for flowers, wine, glasses and crackers and cheese to be delivered to our room while we were gone.

Part 3

Still excited with my special surprise, we unpack the groceries and decide to take a seat out on the balcony. We brought the flowers and a glass of wine outside to take in and appreciate the amazing view we had and the fact that we were here for the first time ever as husband and wife!

Of course I had to wear my new bride ears!







After a little bit of time, we still and 50 minutes until our 5:00 PM dinner reservation. I suggested that we go try to get into Trader Sam's since we hadn't yet been there since it opened.

We arrived around 4:15 PM and there was no line at all. We walked right in - this was perfect as I was preparing myself to not get in as I know they have limited capacity and previously had long lines.

Ryan got the
Shrunken Zombie Head - Gosling's 15! Black Seal Rum, Appleton Estate Reserve Rum, Bacardi 8 yr Rum, tropical juices, Falernum, and cinnamon. Served in a souvenir Shrunken Head.



I had the Krakatoa Punch - Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum, Pyrat XO Reserve Rum, Orgeat (almond), Sam's Gorilla Grog, and Hibiscus Grenadine. Served in a souvenir Tiki Mug.



Both drinks were really good, but there we were sat at the big surf board in the middle of the room and the group sitting across from us were rather loud and obnoxious. Oh well, that wasn't going to get us down. We had reservation to get to any ways. I didn't note what the bill was, but I am assuming it was around $35 for the two drinks - we found them to be rather expensive, but the drinks were pretty strong.

We took a peak outside and it was still raining. boo! Oh well, we had our large umbrella.

We walked through the main house and upstairs to Ohana's for our 5:00 PM dinner reservation.

Our table was not quite ready yet, so we decided that we would go over to the bar and grab a drink while we waited. There was only one drink for me, the
Lapu Lapu - Myers's Original Dark Rum and tropical fruit juices served in a fresh pineapple topped with Bacardi 151 Rum. Ryan decided he also wanted a delicious drink made in a pineapple!






After a few minutes our buzzer went off so we grabbed our drinks and went in.

'Ohana's is a family style buffet. This means that you sit at your table and your server will bring you platers and plates directly to your table. You can then pick form the platers and make your meal. If you want anything more they will bring you more.

Course one was Coconut bread and salad.


The next course was Honey Chicken Wings, Pork Dumplings and Noodles.





Next the servers came around with different meat skewers - beef, chicken and shrimp.

Then dessert came around. OH MY. It was SO delicious.

Dinner was really really good. Neither Ryan or myself LOVED the meat skewers - the meat seemed a little over charred, flavourless and dry. However, the rest of the dinner was fantastic and we would do it again. Dinner came to a total of $86.00 + tip.

We had a fantastic view from our dinner table. Not that it really mattered as we didn't have the best weather, but we had a lovely time.

We decided that we were going to go over to Magic Kingdom for the rest of the evening. We had booked a few fastpasses;

6:00 - 7:00 Splash Mountain
7:05 - 8:05 7 Dwarfs Mine Train
8:25 - 9:25 Space Mountain

When we got to Magic Kingdom it was still raining. We were okay though because we brought our large golf umbrella. Rain wasn't going to scare us away - we actually love cuddling under and umbrella and walking in the rain.

However, due to the rain, we couldn't ride either Splash Mountain or 7 dwarfs mine train. Instead we went over to Buzz Lightyears and give that a ride. I ended up a Galactic Hero by scoring 999,999, Ryan not so much!



We also rode the Haunted Mansion, Little Mermaid and Space Mountain. I thought that the fireworks may be canceled due to the rain, thunder and lightening and we were both starting to tire out after our extremely early morning and exciting day.

We decided to call it a day and head back to our room. We figured that if they fireworks went off, we could watch it from the comfort of our hotel balcony. Luckily the fireworks DID go off and we watched it with a glass of wine.
After the fireworks, we crawled into bed and watched some TV. We quickly fell asleep. I was in my happy place and was so excited to wake up tomorrow for our first full day at Walt Disney World on our Disneymoon.

Till tomorrow.

Day Two
September 1 2015 - Wet, Wild and Laughing

Part 1

We set our alarm for 7:45 AM as we had a breakfast to get to! We woke up, got dressed and took an enjoyable stroll over to the main house to check in for our breakfast reservation at Kona Cafe. We arrived at 8:05 AM for our 8:15 AM reservation and was taken in right away.

I was here for one reason...TONGA TOAST - Banana-stuffed Sourdough French Toast rolled in Cinnamon Sugar and served with a Strawberry Compote and your choice of Ham, Bacon, or Sausage. mmmmmmmmmm.
However, the thought of eating this HUGE meal was daunting. No worries...Ryan and I did what we typically do. We ordered a single order of Tonga Toast, a side of bacon and a side of potatoes (home fries) all to share! Ryan had some Kona coffee and I had a chocolate milk to drink.

Sorry for the bad quality of the photo!

The food came out incredibly quickly - it really was not busy in there at the time we were there. Everything was SOOOOO good. Hands down we would eat here again. The bill came to $24.00 + tip.

We were really glad that we shared this breakfast for two reasons.

1. Tonga Toast is absolutely delicious, but it is a bit too sweet for either of us to have eaten a serving to ourself.

2. We were heading to Typhoon Lagoon for the afternoon - ugh, the thought of eating a huge meal like that on my own and then wearing a bathing suit all day...NO thank you! haha.


We went back to the room and got changed into our swimwear, packed our beach bag and headed out. We decided that we would drive there as we are often SO cold on the buses on the way back to the room after being wet. We left the Polynesian at 9:30 AM, Typhoon Lagoon opened at 10:00 AM.

LET'S GO!

It was a quick and easy drive over and before we knew it we were in the parking lot staring at this.

upload_2015-9-22_20-48-41.png

We ended up having to wait a few minutes for the park to open so we decided to take a few photopass photos.

upload_2015-9-22_20-45-59.png

Once we got in to the park we went and found ourselves some lounge chairs in the shade. We figured this way we had somewhere to retreat to if it got too warm.

Off we went to play!

upload_2015-9-22_20-47-48.png

I always love visiting Typhoon Lagoon. In general I think the Disney Waterparks are missed by too many guests! If you haven't visited one of them yet, make time to on your next visit. My opinion is also slightly biased as I have such amazing memories of being there as a kid with my family - this was BEFORE my parents messy divorce so maybe that's why Disney World in general is so special to me!

WAY OFF TOPIC...sorry for that. Point is, Typhoon Lagoon is such a blast...GO if you can!

We hung out until almost 1:00 PM before we decided to pack up and get ready for something very special I had planned for this afternoon!

Stay tuned to see what's next!
 
Part 2

We jumped in our car and headed back to our hotel room to shower and clean ourselves up.

We decided to have some lunch - turkey and cheese sandwiches, fruit and veggies and dip from our grocery store stop last night.

Ryan didn't know it, but I had a surprised planned for him :tongue::flower3::love2:

I suggested that we go for a walk along the path between the resorts. As it was a beautiful afternoon, Ryan was in. We walked through the Polynesian Resort to take in it's beauty and continued along the path toward the Grand Floridian.

It was only fitting that we made our way over to the Wedding Pavilion and relive a bit of our wedding - hey, it wasn't a Disney wedding, but it doesn't really matter when your beaming in love!

Check out this beautiful view!
upload_2015-9-22_21-5-55.png

Met this little guy

upload_2015-9-22_21-6-26.png

ahhh...such a beautiful place.

We casually continued our stroll through the Grand Floridian and I made a stop at the Sense's Spa...pretending that I wanted to check out what it looked like - when really secretly I had booked us in for couples massages!!!!

upload_2015-9-22_21-7-42.png

Ryan had NO idea. We checked in around 3:00 PM for our 3:30 PM massage. I spent some time drinking some tea and reading some magazines while I waited.

OMG....this was simply amazing. The spa was simply beautiful, our masseuse's were fantastic and everyone wished us all the love in the world! Amazing experience...there isn't much more to say.

When we were done at the spa Ryan suggested that we continue to relax and walk over to the pool bar and grab a drink and just take in the atmosphere. I couldn't think of a more perfect thing to do at this moment - ugh, I wish I could go back right now.

Around 5:00 PM we decided it was time to head back to our room to get showered and prepare for our dinner plans.

Where were we heading tonight? Stay tuned to find out!!!
 
Part 3

We quickly learned that it was much quicker for us to walk to the TTC for transportation than to walk back to the main house - Moorea is the last building I believe before the TTC.

Around 7:40 PM we left our room and walked over to the TTC. We hopped on monorail over to Magic Kingdom. We then jumped on the boat over to Fort Wilderness as we had dinner tonight at HOOP DEE DO MUSICAL REVIEW!!

Now this may not seem like the most ideal or romantic dinner for newlyweds, but we love to laugh! Sometimes when things aren't going right and we're sad, one of us cracks some kind of joke or brings up a funny story and everything seems okay again. To us, nothing is more important than to remember to be kind, love each other and never stop laughing!

That being said....HDDMR was a must for us. I had purchased the tickets a few months before leaving so I cannot recall the price, but we did buy Category 1 tickets.

When we arrived, they took a photo of us.

upload_2015-9-22_21-26-27.png

We were then taken to our seats...we had a seat RIGHT at the front beside the piano.

upload_2015-9-22_21-27-1.png

upload_2015-9-22_21-27-30.png

We were then introduced to our server Bob. If you didn't already know, Hoop Dee Do is a family style buffet (they bring the food to your table, but you can have as much as you'd like) and it includes unlimited pop, sangria and beer. If you haven't yet picked up yet, Ryan and I like to drink haha, so we had planned to take FULL advantage of this.

When we met Bob, he took our drink orders and I told him "Bob, we're celebrating so keep the sangria coming". He laughed, but I don't think he realized I was serious haha.

Dinner here included; corn bread (oh my freaking gosh, this is some of the BEST cornbread I have ever had), salad, fried chicken, ribs, corn, mashed potatoes and beans.

upload_2015-9-22_21-31-11.png

At some point during the show I asked Bob for another sangria and he informed me that they were only allowed to serve 2 drinks per hour for a total of 4 drinks for the show (the show is 2 hours). I was under the impression that it was unlimited (even the menu online says so)...has anyone ever been told this before or experienced this?

I gotta hand it to Bob though, he kept serving me sangria haha. Honestly, we can handle our drinks so it's not like I was being drunk, obnoxious and loud (well, sort of loud, but playing along with the show, not drunkly loud haha). I think this is why Bob continued to serve me.

Eventually we were STUFFED. That's when they brought out dessert. Mmmmmmm strawberry shortcake. It was SO freaking delicious. Sorry that I don't have a photo of it...maybe all those drinks hahaha!

When dinner and the show was over it was time to head back to the Polynesian. We hopped on the boat back to MK and then took the monorail back to the TTC. We walked back to the room slowly - both just to enjoy the beautiful night and because had we moved any quicker we would have been rolling home haha.

We crawled into bed to watch some TV and have a cuddle.

A perfect end to another perfect day. Ahh.....if only we could go back.

Well, there it is. Day two.

Till tomorrow.
 
What a lovely surprise you planned, it sounds like a wonderful day!
 
Looks like you had a great night! Good thing the waiter kept serving the Sangria;)
I want to try Hoop Dee Doo on my next trip. I think the kids would like it and I love that kind of southern food so I don't think I could go wrong. Did you enjoy the show? Do you think a 5 and 9 y.o. would enjoy it?
 
Hi there!! Joining in!! :wave2: First off, CONGRATULATIONS!! pixiedust: Best wishes to you and your hubby! And that Jurassic Park photo is absolutely amazing!! :rotfl:

Oh my gosh, the Poly Villas looks SO beautiful! How wonderful that you got to spend your honeymoon there! What a dream :lovestruc

Looks like your trip is off to a fantastic start! Too bad about the rain but looks like you all made the best of it. How cute that you and your DH both surprised one another...him with the gift basket and you with the couples massage. You guys are so sweet!

I absolutely LOVE Hoop-dee-doo! That's a MUST DO for me on every trip, we just love it :thumbsup2

Looking forward to reading more of your TR!! :goodvibes
 
Joining in! I love the special surprises you had planned for each other! So sweet :)
So jealous that you got to watch Wishes from your balcony (the fireworks are one of my favorite parts of Magic Kingdom).
Can't wait to hear more!
 
What a lovely surprise you planned, it sounds like a wonderful day!

It was a great day! Thanks for following along!!

Looks like you had a great night! Good thing the waiter kept serving the Sangria;)
I want to try Hoop Dee Doo on my next trip. I think the kids would like it and I love that kind of southern food so I don't think I could go wrong. Did you enjoy the show? Do you think a 5 and 9 y.o. would enjoy it?

Right? I don't know what I would do is Bob didn't continue to serve me haha. How can you put "unlimited" on your menu and not mean it haha. Either just put "Included" which never references a quantity OR put something about how it is limited. Sheesh! The food is actually really really good. I found the ribs to be a bit tough, but everything is was fantastic. I could easily see us going back. YES I think that your children aged 5 and 9 would have a great time. The humor wouldn't be over their heads and kids tend to enjoy the costumes and singing. I know I used to go with my family when I was young and always had a great time.

Hi there!! Joining in!! :wave2: First off, CONGRATULATIONS!! pixiedust: Best wishes to you and your hubby! And that Jurassic Park photo is absolutely amazing!! :rotfl:

Oh my gosh, the Poly Villas looks SO beautiful! How wonderful that you got to spend your honeymoon there! What a dream :lovestruc

Yeeeeah! Another follower! OMG the view was spectacular. I think we seriously watched wishes from our balcony every night that we were there (unless we were already in the park watching the show in person)! Something we don't get everyday (we never spend the extra points for this kind of a view), but I am really glad we did for ourselves for this special trip!


I'll be posting Day 3 shortly! Thanks for following along everyone!!
