Trip Report A 36 hour journey, An Engagement and everything in between! WDW 2018

I'm going to start this by apologizing.. it probably wont be well written and I will more than likely miss things out. I'm trying to recall it all but it feels like a life time ago - when really it was only 3 weeks!

Day 0 – Arriving at WDW Coronado Springs.

My Boyfriend Dan and I had a long journey to get back to WDW, a full 36 hours of travelling to be exact. We left home in Perth Australia, and took a 4 hour flight to Melbourne (on the east coast) where we had to wait 6 hours for our connecting flight to LA… Boring!
Luckily the excitement made the time go nice and quick. Back onto a plane for a 14 hour flight from Melbourne to LAX. When we hit LAX we had ANOTHER 6 hour lay over… Not so fun the second time around.

We bought Delta Sky Lounge Passes to make the wait more bearable. Showers and alcohol was our saviour!! Finally time for our last flight from LAX to Orlando… It couldn’t go quick enough. I was ready to start my holiday (or “vacation” as I quickly learnt :p)

Arriving at MCO was magical, as expected, even though we were exhausted, Dan and I couldn’t keep the smiles off our faces. We made our way over to the Magical Express and walked straight onto our awaiting bus. Lucky for us the first stop was Coronado Springs! It was just after Midnight when we checked in. The cast member Shannon was super lovely. She made sure we had a refurbished room in Cabanas 8A – it was near the Main Pool (dig site) and about a 5 min walk from the main building. Room was beautiful. We wanted a king room but ended up with 2 beds. It didn’t really worry us, we used the second bed to put our bags on. There was no where open to eat or even get any snacks so we ordered dominos and then feel asleep with full bellies!

Not a bad view to wake up too...

YOUR REPORT WAS FANTASTIC!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D I enjoyed reading all of it but the proposal was just wonderful! I'm so glad it was a total surprise for you! I'm happy Ariel and Cinderella were on their games for you to make the night extra special! We also got engaged at CRT and I LOVED the chocolate slipper they provided. Still, my favorite dessert I've ever had in Disney! I'm glad you were able to fit in everything you wanted, sorry about the drama with the drinks in Epcot. How fun to get married while in Las Vegas, it's definitely a fun place to celebrate! I'm glad you had your friends there. Your dress is stunning! Where'd you find it?

Such a great report! You look like super fun people and seem to make friends around you! I am very impressed with Dan's proposal. How exciting and smart to do it in such a special spot and with photopass photographers around to take a picture of it. Congrats!

Ok...I just got to the surprise wedding! How fabulous! You two look so great and happy. Best wishes for a lifetime of happiness together!

Congratulations on your proposal at CRT too! how special. They really know how to make the experience special.
The dress was just a rental from the chapel. I was a bit superstitious about wearing a dress someone else had worn. What if their marriage failed?? WELL I was lucky enough to be the first one to wear this. tags on and all!! Very happy!!

Thank you so much!! We like to think we are pretty cool and fun to hang with ahah!
I think its easy for us to make friends in another country because they all loved our accents. We hardly needed to try haha!

Wedding was a ball of fun. So glad we did it this way. Nice and simple. Now that we are home we are planning an engagement party style celebration for our family and friends.
