Trip Report The Fairytale & Dream Come True-May 2013 DFTW/Honeymoon TR

The Fairytale & Dream Come True-May 2013 DFTW & Honeymoon Report​

Welcome to the very best trip report EVER!!!!! I can’t believe I’m sitting here writing this when I’ve been married for over two months now…yep that’s right! I went down to the happiest place on earth and got married!! Oh aaaannd I went on my very first cruise! (Apologies to my cruise ladies…that was supposed to be my first cruise, but I made a cruise a first for me and my husband!) So thanks for tuning in and I hope you enjoy! Here we go!!!!!!

WHEN: May 18-May 28, 2013

WHERE: May 18-23: The Boardwalk Inn, May 23-26: Disney Dream, May 26-28: Art of Animation: Little Mermaid room

WHO: There were a lot of characters that made appearances during this trip! Myself, my now husband Mike (who hasn’t been to the world since he was 12 and he is now 26), Mom (who you know from my many previous trip reports), Dad (his first trip EVER and first time to FL), Memere & Pepere (my grandparents whom are lovers of Disney & resided in FL for a few winters), Aunt (tagged along to help the grandparents), Mom-in-law & Dad-in-law (Mike’s parents), Brother & his gf (Mike’s brother and his gf tagged along for the journey too! It was her first time to WDW and they had a blast!)

Now everyone pretty much came in on the 18th and left on the 22nd (except us). The other characters will make appearances in a few places but I’ll only post a picture of us for now.

Mike and I right after we got engaged in Seabrook, NH on the Beach on August 12, 2012.

A little background on Mike and I and this decision before I begin…Mike and I have been together for almost 5 years now. We met in college through a mutual friend and the rest is history I knew there was something about him from the moment I laid eyes on him, and fortunately he felt the same about me. I did warn him about my Disney addiction way in the beginning & said if we get married it will be in Disney World. I guess he didn’t mind because well he let my dream come true! We were originally planning on getting married in March 2014, but since we were both already out of school and had full time jobs…we figured why not sooner! So about 7 months before the big day in October…we decided to get married in Disney World in May! We were so excited to get planning and thought it was so far away! But my, did the time come very fast! Thank you for tuning in and I hope you enjoy it!

Note: I did not take notes on this trip at all I was having too much fun to stop and write so this is going all from my pictures and memory!

During the wedding days of the trip, we used these awesome Times Guides that @HollyBelle made for us!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! Everyone loved them!!!

We bought some new suitcases & luggage tags for this trip

Our pre-trip package from the awesome Tammy at Kingdom Konsultants!!

Absolutely loved reading your trip report. So many stunning photos, especially your bridal ones in front of the castle. Congratulations!

I just got a new large suitcase and another smaller one. I think in total, we are each bringing 1 large suitcase, I'm bringing my smaller one (we're going to check all 4 of those) plus we will each have a carry on bag. The smaller suitcase is a safety net in case we got overweight with the larger ones haha

hahaha ya just watch out. When I went down it weighed 49.5 and on the way back it was like 50.5 or something (she let me get away with it) but I'm going to try to downsize this time and just use the smaller one. We'll see how everything fits next week LOL

Luckily we have a scale here at work to weigh our UPs packages so I'm going to bring it in the day before and weigh it. Just to be safe! haha. I think we're putting next to nothing in the small suitcase. Maybe a few clothes so we should be safe if we need to move things around. Key word there is SHOULD BE!! haha Single digit dance today!! Woot woot!!! I'm going to TRY and do a bit more on my TR tonight! Dang it, I am DETERMINED to finish it before we leave!

I have a portable luggage scale that I carry with me now every time I travel to keep me from going overweight. Can you just imagine the line out my door so everyone can weigh their bags on the way back? LOL

Lucky! Actually we have one too here at work, but I would hate to bring my suitcase in LOL. I'm sure they wouldn't mind actually...hmmmm that just may be a good idea...I'll see if I can get everything into the smaller suitcase first its like 26" I think. The big one I have is 30" lol

Well, I'm only a little late, but I finally read your TR. I have never cried at a wedding in my life, but I bawled my eyes out reading about your wedding . What an amazing, magical way to start your lives together!

I've only been engaged 6 days and I've been thinking about details and planning all week. I showed Todd your wedding photos to get him into it, and while he wasn't crying, I know his wheels were turning, thinking about what it will be like on our wedding day. Yay

 

[Sumrdog]

Congratulations! I just read your whole trip report with my 11 year old daughter and we loved it! Your wedding was beautiful and you were a lovely bride. Now my daughter wants to get married at Disney, I naturally said not until you finish graduate school, but of course she can!
I loved seeing you use the word wicked...I grew up in NH and now that I live in Montana people always look at me a little funny when I say things like "wicked awesome."
Thank you! I really needed a good trip report!!!

I have so much more to say but will keep it short for now while typing on the iPad, I just had to squeal with delight real quick!
