Our planning session was over the phone yesterday.
First of all I was told the session would be at 1 pm. It never crossed my mind that they meant 1 pm in FLORIDA not in TEXAS. So she called and we missed it and she had to call back an hour later. Oops!! She didn't mind at all though.
We have a temporary planner, Jamie Ledet, right now because our planner, Pamela Mattack, is out on maternity leave. Jamie was still great. I felt like there were a few places where she was pushing for the most expensive option but I figure I can just change things once I get the BEO in a few weeks.
I can already tell that it is going to be much more expensive that what I had envisioned! It's not even the decorations and stuff that is going to be expensive, it is the logistics! For example, we have to hire a limo twice that day to get us/bridal party backstage at Epcot when I hadn't been planning on having a limo at all.
She also told us not to do BOC soft drinks at our reception but I think I will change this later. We also weren't planning on having a DJ at our reception (and just let my brother play DJ and play an ipod) but she put that in without thinking about it so I just left it because it WOULD be nice to have someone else direct the reception activities so I will just have to see if we can swing it.
They were very flexible about customizing their standard cakes. That might help some people. I thought I was going to get some resistance on that but they were excited about it.
Floral: The floral woman was fantastic and got my vision right away from the inspiration pictures that I sent her. I really wish that Disney didn't charge $100 per bouquet because I would love to stick with them doing the flowers! As it is though I know that once I get the BEO I will probably have to take the personal floral out and hire through someone else. She didn't try to push big fancy centerpieces on me either which I really appreciated. She also suggested moving the centerpieces from the Grand to the dessert party and just tweaking them a bit. How smart!
Now I just have to wait for them to send me some sample pictures of stuff. All in all it went great and I know that whatever we choose Disney will make it spectacular. I'm just afraid to find out how much it will cost to make it spectacular!
Luckily Disboards is around to encourage us all! 
So I guess that's on the list and we should probably choose a value as well. I'm debating whether to choose another moderate or a deluxe. I'm thinking most will be staying in a moderate. From the pictures I like the Coronado Springs Resort. Any suggestions?
. I had my BMs shoes dyed hot pink to match the color of my shoes (there are pics in my PJ if you are interested...). Can't wait to read more!
