Trip Report COMPLETED! The "Where's Mom?! I thought you had her!!" April/Disney Wedding

This is a bit overdue but I busted up my ankle and am stuck on the couch and this trip was too magical not to share with everyone, so here it goes....

The Party People:


My family of 5, I'm in the middle (Beth for those that don't have the pleasure yet), husband Lucas in red, kiddos Alexa 9, Liam 7 and Brielle 4. And the couple on the right is getting married on the Boardwalk 4-14-14!!! My sister, Allison and Jeremiah.


Lucas and I, bet you can all guess where we are in this pic from last August!


Another of the children, Brielle is 4 and has been to our 2nd home of WDW 5 times, 16 days until her 6th!!


Allison and I at another one of our happy places, DMB show last summer. She's my little sis and best friend in the world. I was so excited for her Disney wedding it was silly!!

There will be pics of the rest of the crew along the way; my mom and dad, brother and gf and her daughter (thank goodness he’s in the process of breaking up with this nut-job right now), as well as some of Jeremiah's family. Oh and "little Beth", my sister's bestie who surprised her and bought a ticket to join us the week before. Love that girl!

Our Crib:

Saratoga Springs Resort Treehouse; my mom travelled with us, her first Disney visit!!! Then Bride and Groom join us for a few nights before switching to Yacht Club. MOH, Mother of the Bride and bestie Beth get to stay with Bridezilla the night before the big day!



Posting this here now because I’m having trouble finding the rest of my resort pics anyway….this might be it!!!

Be prepared for a butt load of wedding pics and a bit lighter on everything else...go figure! There will also be quite a bit of foolish immature shenanigans.
I would have started with more of an intro but I'm a rookie and lost so much of this part way through and had to start over!!

Bare with me friends and have sympathy...

I know @blackthidot said it was really good but he's stupid

I hope you get eaten by a shark.

 

[blackthidot]

Good stuff Bethany. Brie is like 1 of 6 kids I like on earth. Except all that crying...she would have got her beat. I am more impressed with the fact that you only needed to ask for help making this thing once. When you told me you were doing a report I ALMOST changed my number.

On your next trip I'll mail you my thong so that you and @prfctlyximprct can at least pretend.

Why the hell is there not one picture of your mom? She hates you guys.

I hope you get eaten by a shark.

Don't say that! Last time you wished I got attacked by a seal and I did! Well, a seal mascot, but a seal, none the less!

 

[blackthidot]

Don't say that! Last time you wished I got attacked by a seal and I did! Well, a seal mascot, but a seal, none the less!

This is why you should be nice to me. I make things happen.

 

[LisaBelle]

Great report. I love weddings. I love creme brûlée, too! Have an awesome trip, hope your injury doesn't bother you too much.

Hahaha! Oh snap! Does this mean you're going to get eaten by a shark mascot now?!

This is why you should be nice to me. I make things happen.

It's almost impossible to be nice to you though. And I am not really feeling getting bit by an eagle either, so you better not be making that happen.

Nice! So, you basically also just admitted that you don't care for my other two. Ha! All good homie. It was really out of character for her to be crying like that, it was straight whack!
I'm pretty sure I hit you up and drive you crazy enough, I knew I had to figure this out myself. I'll send you 12223786 straight texts later.
My mom HATES to be in pictures, she was only in a few that the professional photographer took after the ceremony, no chance she would have let me take any!

Oh and thanks for the thong buddy, I will send you mine and @prfctlyximprct when I get back for you to bring next month!

Beautiful bride, beautiful wedding, beautiful family! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so so much for reading, I loved sharing this and re-living it. I wouldn't have changed anything, it was so perfect!!

Great report. I love weddings. I love creme brûlée, too! Have an awesome trip, hope your injury doesn't bother you too much.

Thanks a bunch! Can't wait for some more creme brûlée on this trip. And my fingers are crossed that my ankle is manageable. I have a couple of different braces to bring to help out.

Eek! Only 2 days now, we leave Thursday morning. Soooo excited!!

I can feel your excitement LOL! Pre-feelings are almost just as nice as the feelings of being there! And Thursday for me is now tomorrow so it's almost there for you

 

[DVCPluto]

Loved the TR! Thanks so much for sharing all the wedding pics. I absolutely loved your sister's gown!

We had family drama with our wedding, too (guess most people do), but I wish I would have had a brain and moved my wedding to WDW. Brilliant!! What an amazing experience it must have been. That little girl was right - your sister was a real life princess!!

 

[Jessica Meier]

Thanks so much for sharing. Your sister was beautiful, you and your kids are awesome and it really made me think I should do a vow renewal in a few years for our 15th.

Eek! I'm bouncing off the walls today, don't know what to do with myself! I agree pre-feelings are magical too!

Thanks so much for reading and your kinds words. Making the switch to Disney was the best choice ever, way less complicated. Magical!

No she is just adorable.

What a beautiful wedding, the Brides dress was really gorgeous. That was really cool to have a pictures of two brides together. Thank you for sharing this family vacation/wedding with us.

Beautiful wedding! Thank you for sharing and have another GREAT trip! Look forward to reading about it.

Thanks so much! Hopefully time slows down a bit while we are down there.

My DD just got engaged yesterday (in the MK they both are CM) and I would LOVE to see then get married at the Boardwalk or on the Dream!!! Great report and pictures. Good luck with the foot!

No she is just adorable.

Yeah man, I know. Of course I was kidding with you. Brie's cuteness is something special. She's got the nuttiest personality to go with it too. "First I'm going to swim at the pool when we get there, then I'll hit up some rides". She said this a little while ago to me. She also was yelling at all of us last night, "you all must adore me!"

Thanks a bunch for reading! Congrats on their engagement and I totally recommend a Disney wedding.
