The Who, The What, The When, The Where... and other semi-interesting facts
Helloooo Trip Report Boards!!
I feel a little out of place. I'm not a very frequent poster, and when I do post it is on pretty much every other board except this one I do lurk a lot here and there are some talented trip report writers here.. so I hope to follow in you guys footsteps and hopefully keep you entertained I'm also hoping that a trip report will help me get over the inevitable post Disney wedding and honeymoon blues that I will soon be experiencing
Without further ado.. I guess it's time for the introductions!
The Who:
Seeing as this is our Disney wedding and honeymoon trip, the travel party will consist of future DH and I:
On our Very Merry Christmas Cruise this past year!
A couple of engagement pics in the MK last May!
I'm Meredith and my fiancé is Chad.. who I will refer to as future DH probably from here on out. He isn't a big fan of posting his "business" on the internet (he barely has any social media), so I'll try to leave his "real" name out of most of this
We are young twenty-somethings (well I guess future DH will be classified as a mid-20 something in August ) that have been together since our early high school years.. we've actually been together for 7.5 years
We have two Australian Shepherds that are 2.5 years old:
They are included because they will be making the trip with us to stay at Best Friends Pet Care! Since most of the family is coming to the wedding we don't have anyone at home to watch them. And this way we can visit them throughout the trip!
The What:
As the title suggests, the purpose of this trip is our Disney Fairy Tale Wedding and Honeymoon!!! I have a planning journal over on the Weddings board if you want all the nitty gritty wedding details, but I'll fill you in on the locations for itinerary purposes. The ceremony will be at 9:30 AM at the Wedding Pavilion with a reception following at the GM Lounge in Epcot. Then we will have a DP later that night at U.K. Lochside in Epcot!
My reception won't look nearly this cool since it won't be dark but I still love this picture
This will be my first time staying at the beautiful Grand Floridian!!! For two nights anyway, we can't afford many more there our room block coordinator did upgrade our rooms to Lagoon View from Garden View at no extra charge!! I'm hoping we magically get a room with a glimpse of the castle!
We will be moving to the Yacht Club after the reception. Our first time staying Club Level!!!
We will also have 5 glorious nights of the Deluxe Dining Plan, so be prepared for a FOOD HEAVY itinerary and we will be prepared to gain at least 5 pounds
The When:
Our trip runs Thursday April 26th - Friday May 4th with our wedding on the 28th. We will be driving 8 hours (4 hours on Wednesday night after work and then the rest Thursday morning). Like I mentioned above, we will spend the first two nights at the Grand and then switch over to the YC on the 28th. I just added a night onto our stay last week. The only thing left was Lagoon View Club Level (we are in standard view the rest of the time), so I put a request in with our room block coordinator to let the front desk know we would be fine staying in the same standard view room the whole time if possible. I don't want to switch rooms for our last night!
Now to the fun part! The "favorites"
Me:
Favorite Disney Movie: Tangled and the Princess and the Frog. (I feel like neither one of these gets enough love in the parks!)
Favorite Character: STITCH!!!
Favorite Princess: Rapunzel, of course
Favorite Disney Parks snack: Mickey Rice Krispies (why do they have to be so unhealthy )
Favorite Disney restaurant: this changes frequently but I think right now it is Tiffins
Favorite Ride: Tower of Terror for the thrills, Space Mountain for the thrill and nostalgia
Favorite park: MK and Epcot (can't decide)
Future DH:
Favorite Disney Movie: He's actually agreed with before that Tangled is one of the best Disney movies
Favorite Character: Not sure if he has one, but "talking" Mickey made him crack a smile
Favorite Princess: Don't think I'd ever get this answer out of him
Favorite Disney Parks snack: Anything with Oreos
Favorite Disney restaurant: his favorite from last trip was Spice Road and Tiffins
Favorite Ride: He's somewhat of a thrill seeker so I would say RnRC
Favorite park: Definitely Epcot for him
I'll start with our plans next!
