Ahhhhhh!!!!! So awesome, it was such a beautiful day! Everything turned out great in your pics. I can't wait to see your honeymoon TR
Thanks Vicki!! Glad to see you posting on the DIS
You need to finish your wedding report!!Ooohhh I really did love this update though, Mrs.!
*I am SO glad Jason didn't push the cake in your face! I think it's cute, but my grammy went into a 10 minute tirade about that once, so now I've been turned off of it!
*I think the parent dances are awkward. I don't think there's a way around it, you know? But they looked sweet, regardless.
*That picture of your sister is KIND OF amazing!!! I think I know who she should marry...
And YUM candy buffet! Adorable! And you got the coach card basket--- I LOVE that thing!
What a LOVELY picture of you at the end. Is there a young gentleman next to you too? If so, I certainly did NOT notice. Nope, not at all.
While I am sorry your wedding day is all over, I am SO looking forward to your WDW trip report!!!!
Yes, I love all of your comments! I always look forward to your posts
Hopefully TR is coming soon, I just have to get some work done for my classes - so many group projects this week 
Thank you!
I felt so much better at the reception after the ceremony was over and just so happy

Honeymoon TR! Day 1
We were up super early this morning. We went to bed probably around 12:30 after all the wedding festivities died down. And to be honest, I woke up at 4:30 and could not go back to sleep because I was so excited about Disney World!
We left the hotel around 6:30 am.
Our flight left at 9, it was uneventful and I slept for about an hour. We arrived at the airport, got our luggage, and were on the Magical Express by noon!
Before you know it we're at our resort, Port Orleans Riverside:
We checked in and even though we were early, our room was ready. They gave us Happily Ever After buttons when we checked in, and the CM also gave us I'm Celebrating buttons. He asked when we were married and when we said yesterday he gave us Anniversary buttons too to celebrate our 1 day anniversary.
No just Married Buttons though, good thing I got them on ebay! We went to the room to put our stuff down. It was nice, I don't think this one had been refurbished yet, but the location was good.
We were starving at this point, so we decided to take the boat over to Downtown Disney. Our goal was the Earl of Sandwich!
We got some amazing sandwiches. If you're interested in pics and reviews of all the food my dining review is here!
We also did some shopping. I managed to drop almost $100 in vinylmations at D-Street
We also got a few other things. We got a print of a painting by Larry Dotson of Wishes over the castle. What was especially cool was that he was there to sign it, and even wrote Congratulations on your marriage. So that's a really neat souvenir. Got a few other little things as well, such as a Nerds Rock backpack - this was great for carrying everything I needed during a day at the parks! Then it was back to the room for a much needed nap!
For dinner we had a reservation at Narcoossee's, so we had to travel to the Grand Floridian. It took way longer to get there than I expected. It took an hour and forty-five minutes. Luckily I left enough time but I had definitely thought we would be early rather than a few minutes late. On the bus on the way there I sat next to the most talkative and friendly 7 year old I had ever met! She was very cute, telling me all about Disney World and what rides I should go on. I just pretended like I didn't know anything and let her me the expert.
Luckily we made it just in time for our reservation. I was hoping to spend more time just walking around the GF though. The lobby is stunning:
Dinner also took awhile, but it was totally worth the wait. Everything was delicious. I had the whole Maine lobster and it was incredible, as was the fruit tart I had for dessert.
We got to see the water pageant from the windows:
Though the funny thing was that we were watching it from behind! So everything was backwards, which was particularly noticeable with the American flags. It was nice to see though, as I'd never seen it before. And then of course in the middle of our main course we got to see Wishes!
Yeah, I teared up a little at this point. I was just happy and glad to be in Disney World! We had a decent view right from our table. We weren't right near the window, but that turned out to be a good thing as some of the people who were directly against the windows had their views blocked by people standing on the balcony outside. Since we were a little further back we had a better angle. Here's our table:
Getting back to the hotel was a long trip as well. When we finally returned we were exhausted and went to sleep immediately. Had to rest up for our first day in the Magic Kingdom!

I read this on my phone because I was so excited and then I forgot to comment! 
I'm so much later than usual.
*I haven't stayed at POR since it was called Dixie Landings. It looks very pretty though!
*You know, I've NEVER been to Earl of Sandwich! I really need to make that a priority.
*Narcoose's looks BEAUTIFUL! (And so do you.)
I can't wait to read more. I hope school isn't kicking your butt too much!

It was a fantastic first day!

Haha I know, it had been over an hour and I was like, "What? No comment from Jackie yet?"
POR is beautiful, we visited some of the deluxe resorts or saw them from the bus and Jason felt like POR was prettier than some of them (though not the GF!
). Earl of Sandwich is a must, it's so tasty! And Narcoossee's is delicious and amazing.Ugh, don't even mention school. My classes are okay (it's week 7 out of ten weeks, so getting close to the end of the quarter!). But basically, to make a long story short, my schedule got all screwed up and I won't be able to graduate this spring like originally planned.
I have to wait til December 2012, and since I want to work in a school I can't really get a full time job until the next September (2013). It's been pretty upsetting for a few days but I'm slowly getting used to the idea. The good news because of all this is that I'll be doing absolutely nothing this spring and next spring, so it means more time for traveling. And, my parents plus Jason and I are thinking about a Disney trip in April 2013! So at least I have that to look forward to

Honeymoon Day 2!
This was our first day at the Magic Kingdom!
We got there at RD and decided to make our way to Splash Mountain. We did pause to get some photopass pics first:
The park was so empty, and it was like that all day. I took a picture of the Country Bear Jamboree to show to my dad. There's a funny family story - when we went for the the first time when I was little, my dad's boss told him that the most amazing attraction in MK was the Country Bears. So we got there at RD and were racing along with all of the people, and we see the Country Bear Jamboree and head right toward it... and everyone else kept going past us to Splash Mountain. There was only one other family at the Country Bears, and the show was really too babyish for me then (I was 8). But it makes a great story now - every time we talk about Disney we have to tease my dad about making us rush toward the Country Bear Jamboree!
Splash Mountain was a great sight to see:
I think the longest we waited for anything was about 15 minutes. We also got the chance to meet Donald in his frontier outfit with almost no one in line ahead of us.
The morning we also got on the Haunted Mansion - I kept my eyes open almost the whole time! Haha, I am the biggest baby ever and terrified of things popping out at me, so this is a huge accomplishment. The new queue was really cool too:
Then we did Mickey's Philharmagic (love this show!), Snow White (which I'd never been on before and wanted to try before they get rid of it), and a few other rides. It was also really cool to see the construction for the Fantasyland expansion - I am so excited about the Beast castle!!
Lunch was at the Columbia Harbour House, which was nice for a counter service place. In the afternoon we did Space Mountain, Monsters Inc., Buzz's Space Ranger Spin, and most of the other Tomorrowland things. We also met Buzz and got our picture taken. We waited for awhile to meet him but it was totally worth it! He was awesome, and mimed to us that he wanted to "re-perform" our wedding ceremony for us! So he walked me down the aisle (and even flipped the veil from my bride ears over my face), and then proceeded to officiate the ceremony!
We had an early dinner planned since we had planned the dessert party for this evening. We went to Cinderella's Royal Table at 3:50, and literally missed a downpour by about 2 minutes. We had a perfect table - right by the window overlooking fantasyland. The food was decent and we got to meet the Princesses! We saw Cinderella when we first came in and then got to meet Aurora, Snow White, Belle, and Ariel.
Then it was back to the room for a break and a shower. When we returned to the MK we went on Pirates, Splash Mountain again, and Big Thunder Mountain. Then it was time for the dessert party. All of the desserts were so good - I wish I had more room in my tummy to eat more! It was also a fantastic view of the fireworks. Unfortunately, I was feeling a bit ill by the end of the night (I think it was a combo of it being hot, my eating too much, and not getting enough sleep), so the moment the fireworks were over I couldn't wait to get back to the room and sleep!

First--- Ughhh I'm sorry your schedule got messed up. Maybe you can find a job shelving at a library or something in the interim? I have to pass a final Master's Examination on 140 books in March, and I'm terrified of it. You'd think I'd be studying more, buttttt my life is a little busy right now between teaching, taking classes, planning this wedding and, you know, disboards! Anyway, onto the TR comments!
*Whew. I got in at less than an hour today. I'm on track!
*I love the RD ceremony at MK! I cry.
*LOVE that picture of you and DF kissing. So sweet.
*OMG I HATE THE JAMBOREE! There. I said it. Hate it. My grandparents' best friends ALSO told them it was the greatest thing ever and we HAD to see it--- and, while we didn't rush to it we did go see it, and all three of us still whine about it!
*Awww you're scared of the HM?! That's my favorite ride! But that's okay, we can still be friends.
*I am in love with that picture of Buzz Lightyear "walking you down the aisle." Seriously.
*Yay Belle! And I'm glad the food was decent at CRT. DF and I go there every few years, and I'm not huge on the food--- but he still goes on and on and on about how good his steak was there. (Funny enough, my planner said the SAME thing. But I don't eat beef really, so idk.)
*Oh, I just realized I need to read your dining review for food porn!
Okay, I think I thoroughly commented. Can't wait for more, Missus!

Yay! I think you're the only one that has stuck with me this whole time and is still reading! But I appreciate it!
Hahaha I haven't been back to the Jamboree since that time when I was 8. Though I think my next trip to WDW is going to be with my parents, so we may have to return for old time's sake!
I was way more scared of the idea of Haunted Mansion than the ride itself! Most if it I actually really like, I just don't like the part where you're going through the graveyard and stuff is popping out everywhere.
The Buzz Lightyear interaction was one of the best parts of the trip! And meeting Belle was fun - later in the week we ate at Akershus and we got to see her in her yellow dress!
Thank you so much! I think making the centerpieces was one of the most fun parts of the planning

Day 3 - Epcot!
The next day was our first day in Epcot. We planned to spend most of our time in Future World and hit up the World Showcase on our second Epcot day.
First up we went to Mission: Space and did the more intense side, it was fun - DH hadn't been on it before. NExt up we went to the Land, where we grabbed a FP for Soarin' and then went on Living with the Land and the Circle of Life before heading back to Soarin'. It was interesting to do the Living with the Land boat ride because I'd never tried it before. It was pretty, and interesting.
Then we had lunch at Sunshine Seasons, it was very good. We hit up Club Cool where we got to try all the different sodas, and then headed to Test Track - my personal favorite in Epcot! I love that you can get the ride pic on your photopass card for free!
Because we had time we decided to try Ellen's Energy Adventure - this was a huge waste of time. It was boring, and SO LONG. Never again, lol. We decided to go back to the room and take a nap, but before we did we got a picture with Minnie and Goofy because of the Disney Visa cardholder privilege:
The nap was much needed. After we rested up we went back to Epcot and our first stop was Nemo and friends. The ride was cute, but it was fun to explore the tanks and aquariums.
The best part was Turtle Talk with Crush - so adorable! Crush will answer questions from children in the audience, and one boy asked him "What does turtle taste like?" Haha, I think Crush was quite insulted! He proceeded to tell the boy that it tastes very, very bad, and this lead into some talk about what turtles eat. He asked the boy what his favorite food is, and this 5 or 6 year old replied, "Stuffed peppers." I was expecting pizza or chicken nuggets or something, but this kid was hilarious!
We had dinner reservations at the Coral Reef which was right there, so we checked in a little early and waited about 15 minutes. Once again we got a great table, right next to the tank! The food was also really good.
To end the evening we went on Test Track one more time, and then went into the World Showcase for Illuminations. We managed to grab a bench in China and got some drinks and enjoyed the show. DH likes this one better than Wishes - it's kind of a toss up for me, as they are both great!

Love all your pictures..hope you had a great time. I can never decide which night time event I like more. I know the illuminations music by heart...I even have the score to the music. I sometimes close my eyes and instead of watch the show I just stand in the back somewhere and conduct it..lol
Im glad they dont have somethin at AK or else we would have way more difficult desisions to make...

So....I had this long comment ready to go, and the stupid computer ate it! Grr. Anyway, long story short...
I just realized that although I've been following along, I haven't commented in forever!
Shame on me! So, it would take me forever to catch up, but...in summary, I just have to say:
I'm loving everything! You guys are SO CUTE!! Both of you are just glowing.
I'm sooo jealous of the impromptu vow renewal with Buzz. How fun!
I've always wanted to eat at the Coral Reef. Glad you guys got a good table.
I hate the graveyard in HM too! I'm so not a fan of things popping out at me! My 5 year old flower girl totally showed me up on that ride. I was holding her tight, thinking she'd get scared, and she's dancing away in her seat saying, "Aunt Allie! It's a dance party!"
I'm a total SLACKER! and I'm sorry, but I promise to keep up better in the future! Can't wait for more!!!

Yeah, Mission: Space is really intense. Sometimes I choose to go on the more mild one, but Jason wanted to try intense. LwtL was definitely cool! And maybe we were just tired by the time we got to Ellen, and it was long and dark, but I could barely keep my eyes open!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you! We did have a wonderful time. I know what you mean about the night events... if they did something in AK we'd never get a chance to rest! Since that park closes early it's the one day where we can go back to the hotel and relax
So....I had this long comment ready to go, and the stupid computer ate it! Grr. Anyway, long story short...
I just realized that although I've been following along, I haven't commented in forever!
I'm loving everything! You guys are SO CUTE!! Both of you are just glowing.
I'm sooo jealous of the impromptu vow renewal with Buzz. How fun!
I've always wanted to eat at the Coral Reef. Glad you guys got a good table.
I hate the graveyard in HM too! I'm so not a fan of things popping out at me! My 5 year old flower girl totally showed me up on that ride. I was holding her tight, thinking she'd get scared, and she's dancing away in her seat saying, "Aunt Allie! It's a dance party!"
I'm a total SLACKER! and I'm sorry, but I promise to keep up better in the future!
Aw, thank you! Meeting the characters was so much fun, especially when they all found out it was our honeymoon! I probably wouldn't have waited if it was a crowded time but Disney was so empty and we got through everything so fast that we got to meet a bunch of characters.
Haha, that is too funny about the HM and your flower girl! I find that on some rides I am definitely way more scared than most of the little kids!
I was on line for a roller coaster at another park once and I usually love coasters, but this one was realllllly high, and I was so nervous I was about to cry. This little kid in front of me is just like, "Don't worry! I've been on it five times already, it's great!"

Day 4: Lazy day! And Boardwalk
This day was our scheduled "down time" day, as we figured we would need a break from running around to the parks. We had breakfast reservations at 10:45 at 1900 Park Fare, so we got a decent amount of sleep in. Once again, it took forever to get there! We tried a different way this time but it still look a really long time.
Luckily, we made it in time. The place was pretty empty because it was so late in the morning for breakfast, but luckily the food was still there - and delicious! It was mostly ordinary breakfast food - I had bacon, scrambled eggs, fruit, a biscuit, a pastry, and of course the strawberry soup! Of course, the best part is the characters - we met Pooh, Tigger, Alice, Mary Poppins, and the Mad Hatter.
Pooh was particularly adorable and posed us so we did a nice shot with him and our rings:
Alice was awesome - she was so excited about our "Just Married" buttons and insisted we come meet the couple sitting a few tables behind us, who was also just married! They saw our buttons and asked where we had gotten them, as they couldn't find any (once again, glad I used ebay!). But Alice piped up and said she was sure they had some at the GF and she could definitely find them! And out she goes from the dining room and returns about five minutes later with two Just Married buttons for them! I don't know where she found them but I thought that was awesome!
We walked around the GF for a bit, as neither of us had really been there before (only for our Narcoosee's reservations!), and it is beautiful. We took the boat back over to the Magic Kingdom to get our bus, and that was definitely our favorite way to travel, since we also got to see the Polynesian beach and all.
The afternoon was really lazy. We took a nap, unfortunately it was mostly because I wasn't feeling well. I have a condition that occasionally bothers me but hadn't in a few months so I wasn't really thinking about it, well unfortunately it was acting up this afternoon and I hadn't brought my medicine. It's over the counter but they didn't have it in Disney and surprisingly we called a place that is supposed to deliver pharmacy items and they didn't have it. So DH was super sweet and took a taxi to a pharmacy to get it for me while I rested.
Once I took it I felt much better, so we headed over to the Boardwalk.
We had dinner reservations at 6 but figured we could wander around until then (it was around 3). Well, we explored a bit but there were not nearly as many shops or things to see as I thought there might be - really just restaurants. The place was pretty much deserted. We went in the bakery and got a fruit tart, ate it, and then it started to pour rain. We ran for cover and just sat at a table outside the candy shop for about 45 minutes.
Finally we decided to go early for dinner at Kouzzina, and luckily they sat us right away. The food was really unique and delicious. I had a fisherman's stew that was really tasty, and Jason had the sampler. They also brought us a "honeymoon cupcake" here, which was sweet.
We had originally hoped to go to Jellyrolls, but I still wasn't feeling 100% and we despite sleeping in and the nap we were both just tired. I'm really disappointed because I really wanted to go here, but I also wasn't sure how hopping the place would be given that Disney had been so empty and it was a Wednesday night. We did get to see a stunning sunset as we were leaving though:
So instead we grabbed a giant S'mores cupcake from the bakery and went back to the hotel. We went to the hot tub for a bit and then just watched some TV. This is the most delicious cupcake I have ever tasted:

I have learned from commenting on Jennifers TR that it is easiest just to note my thoughts as I read. So Ima do that with you now! ☺
*Ive never been to 1900 Park Fare. Strawberry Soup sounds delish though!
*I love the Pooh ring shot ☺
*That is SO cute that Alice got the couple Just Married buttons! I love Disney so much sometimes.
*Im sorry you didnt feel well, but Im glad Jason went and got your meds for you.
*Ive never been to Jellyrolls either. I hope to go this trip, but well see. Gorgeous sunset though.
*And the Smores cupcake looks AMAZING. I cant wait to have one!

The list style of commenting is definitely easiest! I'll probably start using it on other PJs too
And you definitely have to enjoy a S'mores cupcake for me while you're there!
