So we had 4 hours at the Atlantic Dance Hall.
Heres our cake, a 3 tier mad hatter style cake. It was amazing. I almost didnt want to cut it. However I remembered how good the cake inside was during the tasting that I just couldnt wait to taste it again. We had the bottom and top layer of chocolate cake and baileys mousse filling and the middle layer with yellow cake and tropical mousse filling.
Heres our centerpiece. We just wanted something simple. This centerpiece was also used at the dessert party.
We had two favors. One was a floating rose candle wrapped in twill and ribbon tied with a gift tag. Then we also had these which were 3.50 a piece for our guest to enjoy. They are marshmallow covered in either white or milk chocolate and they had Mickey shaped straws as the holder of it.
Heres some of the food.
Heres our menu:
Our pre-reception we had coffee, fruit punch, and assortment of freshly baked breakfast pastries, like croissants, muffins, and cinnamon buns
Heres our buffet menu:
Island fruit salad- fresh fruits toasted coconut with banana dipping cream and mango-papaya dipping cream
Made to order Mickey Mouse waffles with a choice of warm blueberry, strawberry and banana foster toppings
Hickory smoked bacon
Caesar salad with crisp romaine, creamy Caesar dressing, shaved parmesan and toasty herb triangles
Hawaiian Macaroni Salad
Spring rolls, we had different choices shrimp, vegetable, or chicken along with sweet chile or ginger soy dipping
Parmesan crusted breast of chicken laced with mushroom cream and asiago cheese infused mashed potatoes
We had coffee, tea, water, and the fruit punch. However we did have a cash bar, as well as bill on consumption for soda.
The total for the meal was $50/adult and $25/child. The children had the same food we did, so no special menu changes.
We had Mickey and Minnie attend our wedding. We couldnt have a wedding without them.
Even my dad and one of my best friends totally got into having them there.
Here was the best picture that captured the look on just about everyones face when they saw Mickey and Minnie enters the dance floor.
Cake cutting time:
Bouquet and garter toss. My best friends were the one that caught both the bouquet and garter.
Here are the shoes during the ceremony:
Here are the shoes after the ceremony:
Heres the last shot at Atlantic Dance Hall with All the cousins on my moms side that were able to make it to the wedding. Believe me we did miss the other cousins that could not make it.
I had the best time at the reception that I didnt even realize that it started to rain again. When were getting ready to leave the hall I just saw the rain and said oh well! We had the ceremony and reception of a life time. And now that its raining it doesnt bother me one bit. My photographer Jensey bless her heart gave me a Disney poncho to wear over my dress. It was so nice of her to do.
Heres shot of our bus back to the hotel:
Heres my sister and her boyfriend with the wishing well with our all our wedding gifts inside the bus.
So after the reception we went back to Coronado Springs Resort this is where we first started our day. We went there to collect our things to head Polynesian Resort. Oh my gosh I felt so spoiled staying there! It was so nice and comfortable. So it rained all afternoon. We were waiting for Michelle our WP to inform us of what would happen to our dessert party. I thought for sure it would be cancelled. She called us around 4pm to let us know that we are going to have our dessert party as scheduled! I was amazed when she said that because it was still raining. Granted the rain wasnt has hard as earlier when we left the reception however it was pretty steady. So I texted all our guest to let them know to meet us at Hollywood Studios in time to meet our CM that was going to take us to the site.
So at 630pm we headed off to the Hollywood Studios, and I swear the moment we pulled out of the Polynesian Resort parting lot it POURED!! I mean there was no end that I could see. We got to the Hollywood studio parking lot and it was just a great big puddle. Again I called to make sure it was still happening, Michelle assured me that it would be happening so sit tight we will be having an outdoor dessert party in time to watch Fantasmic!
