Ok here we go!! I want to focus mostly on the wedding so the days surrounding it might be on the shorter side. Plus it feels like as usual, I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked.
Day 1-
Most of you probably know that the night before we were scheduled to leave a HUGE snow storm hit our area...some called it a Snowicane. If you are from anywhere in the Northeast you will also know how CRAZY this is. There is no such thing as a Snowicane...we live in Upstate NY and we got snow. Period. End of Story. This happens every winter and our lives don't just shut down. I wasn't worried about the snow at all.
What I should have been worried about is Eric's work. Eric works nights and gets out at 7:15 a.m. every morning. The plan was for him to get out of work, run home and we'd leave straight for the airport.
At 7:00 I get a call...I almost had to stay at work. I asked what does ALMOST mean? Well the people that needed to show up for work weren't there. There was one co-worked that so greatfully offered to stay so he coul leave. But there was still one woman missing. He had previously asked his other co-worker that if this situation happend would she be willing to stay so he didn't miss his flight. Not only did she tell him NO, but she ended up calling in "sick" to work, claiming the snow was too bad (again, it wasn't). They finally let him go at 7:30 when they heard the second co-worker was on her way. We ended up leaving later than anticipated but arriving with plenty of time.
We got through security fairly quickly and grabbed some breakfast. For those wondering, my dress did fit in a normal carry-on and I had it with me at ALL times!! Here is Eric keeping him self occupied until take-off.
The flight was very uneventful and soon we arrived at AKL!! This was the beginning of many run in's with some odd folks. The valet that helped was...just a little off. I really can't explain it. But I couldn't help but to giggle when he called Eric Mr. Amanda's Maiden name! Soon we were checked in and off to our room. We had booke a Value Studio but ended up with a great pool view room!! Eric hadn't slept much so he was ready for a nap!
We ended up rearranging our plans, skipping Teppan Edo and heading to ESPN for dinner. The food was fab...but the waitress? A little off...The first thing she said after we were seated was this....
"So the boy I am totally in love with that works here just showed up with his friends and seated himself my section and he knows I'm in love with him because I told him" (yes it was one long sentance). She took our appetizer order (Nachos!) and drinks (milkshakes!) but forgot to take our dinner order. Dinner really just got stranger from there...
We wandered around EPCOT a bit before heading back to the room. Next up, DHS and ESPN THE WEEKEND!
