Thanks for reviewing the Wave. We are going there for the first time soon, and I was wondering what the selection was like.
Yay for pixie dust!
We really enjoyed it! Definitely worth trying out, we thought. I hope you have a good meal there
Interesting! I've read mostly good reviews of The Wave now. It might be one to keep in mind.
We really enjoyed it We'd definitely go back if it was convenient.
Hmmm...how about when you are confronted unexpectedly in the middle of Hollywood Boulevard?
Well, I have first hand knowledge that you are perfectly delightful at a DISmeet.
Hahaha yes, your meet was the second instance of this during my trip!
Cool! I had wondered where those came from. I thought they were really nice, but hadn't noticed them in any of the shops. @pepperandchips Melinda, those ears were lovely.
She did a wonderful job! I'm very impressed by the creativity. And they were also super comfortable to wear all day, which is a big deal with ears.
I'm glad you had a great breakfast! The buffet at the Wave has always intrigued me so hopefully one day I can try it!
Yay for getting some me time at Senses! Sounds like your nail tech was awesome!
I am sure you are AWESOME to meet! I feel like we can all get a little awkward with strangers sometimes!
Yay for the CM gifting you extra FPs!
It really was a great way to get the day going, having breakfast at the wave! They took great care of us there. Nathan especially loved the buffet.
My appointment at Senses was super! And the nail tech was excellent.
I think it's a bit of a weird experience every time you meet someone in person, even if it's a good/fun one. So I'm glad it's not just me who feels a little like that.
Great start to your trip!
Thanks!
I'm not a purse person, but your Orange Bird bag is super cute!
It's adorable! I don't usually use my Dooneys regularly in daily life because I worry about ruining them, usually more just for special occasions or WDW, but I've been carrying this one every day because it's just so stinkin' cute! And also because I got such a good deal on it that I don't think I'd feel as guilty if something happened to it.
Fabulous arch picture!
Thank you! Getting a good arch picture while in a moving vehicle is definitely a challenge
Your light meal at Artist Pointe was a great way to begin your trip. Your dessert sounds excellent!
It was a wonderful way to start things off! Despite my interest in meeting the Evil Queen and Grumpy at Artist Point now, I'll definitely miss this menu.
Traditional gift for first anniversaries is "paper"- so this was a totally appropriate commemoration of your first year as a married couple. Photo paper.
Oh, I hadn't even thought of that! You're so right!
Thanks for sharing all the pictures. I think I prefer the color version of the special shot- the green wall is very dramatic and your hair color is stunning in this shot.
So about how long was the photo shoot? An hour? More?
Thanks so much! It was wonderful, and I love the shots we got. Especially that one! And it was scheduled for an hour, but I think they allow a little time cushion in case anyone shows up late or has any other unexpected issues, and we got going early and made great time, so we ended up with probably more like 90+ minutes shooting in the park.
Well, now you have had exclusive photos at MK, EP and AK- next up: A galaxy far far away?
Nathan said this, too! Maybe someday if the prices don't keep rising so quickly. As much as I like DHS though, MK/EP/AK would have been my major wish list for photos, so I feel pretty satisfied with what we have now. I think maybe next time we want pictures we'll hire an outside photographer and do photos at a favourite resort instead!!
The description of your time at the spa was wonderful. What a great morning so far!
It was lovely!
I am so glad to hear how much you enjoyed your meal at Cape May. YAY to John the waiter (if THAT is your real name...). Special fast passes are an excellent bonus anniversary gift! Like I appreciate getting recognized with a free dessert for special occasions, but really, when you are at a buffet, is more food necessary???
It was so excellent! We were hoping it wasn't a fluke that we enjoyed it so much the first time, but it really held up the second time around. We're crossing our fingers that we may be able to stay at Beach Club this coming summer for at least a few nights, and if we do it'll be super convenient so we'll definitely be going back here again.
My carb-loving self was over the moon with your Wave breakfast platter. Even if the sweet potato pancakes had a weird consistency...
Oh my goodness, I'm such a fan of carbs! It was quite the spread! When on vacation, I guess!
I loved hearing about the conversations with the Cast Members at the spa and the GF; those little talks can really heighten a Disney day. Although, I do always dread when my husband starts hearing about all those appreciation perks CMs receive...too many more chats and I know where we'll end up 8 years from now.
I really do find these little chats with cast members can add so much to your day! We had a couple more instances like that on this trip, in particular with an awesome character attendant at the Halloween party. It really makes it special. ....and I'm with Alex on this one! I'd totally take a job at Disney!
I truly feel like most of us DISers think we're terrible at actual DISmeets. It's easy to second guess yourself when you meet a friend face-to-face, but I'm sure the meet was great. And after seeing how much work you had to put in for those gorgeous AK shots, I'm sure she understands.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this, at least to an extent! Meeting someone in person for the first time can be a little strange for anyone, I think, even if it's fun and exciting as well.
What a lovely food filled time you were having Those mouse ears are so cute!! I'm sure a perfectly lovely DIS-er to meet! Give yourself some credit
It was quite the time, especially in terms of yummy food!! And yes, the ears were fabulous! I have them packed away with my Disney things for the next trip they can make an appEARance.
Yum, I loved our breakfast there last year and it looked like you had great luck with your own allergy-free buffet of treats.
They really treated us well! Especially me, with allergy treats! I'd definitely go back sometime.
So cute! I love it! I've never been to senses spa, only on the cruises but it looks just as nice if not nicer at the GF!
It was so nice! We went back for our massage later on the trip, and N enjoyed it quite a bit as well! We finished and he was like, "can't we just go for another hour?" The facilities were nice and relaxing, too.
Um, I really beg to differ.
Ok I didn't even notice your hands, haha. And you're not laughably bad at DISmeets, I don't know what you're talking about. It's not even something you can be bad at!!
P.S. You were great.
Haha I was thinking of you and our DISmeet, too! It was great to meet you, but I definitely felt like I wasn't on my game with how busy we'd been traversing the park with a big family group to keep track of, etc. But I figured you'd understand that better than anyone with how large a group you had to herd on that trip!
Love this picture of both of you and your matching PepperandChips ears!
So do I! The matching ears were super photogenic!
