I can't believe you were on the lake the night we were at Epcot! So silly..you could have sent me a text and I would have snapped pictures of you from the bridge..I was right there!! standing on the bridge to France having our picture made..lol
What did Patrick think the tux was for? Just dinner at the Yachtsmen?
Yay Carrie! I absolutely love this idea! Plus it gives me a great reason to get my husband back into a tux again. If I tell him we're doing a dinner at ToT, he'll be so excited.
what a fun post! I always enjoy reading your posts Carrie
Carrie you look gorgeous!
Wow, your party came out amazing! Just wondering if they mentioned how much it would have cost to keep the ride open.
Absolutely fabulous!!!! :
Are you starting on next year's anniversary trip now??? Don't know what you could do to top this, but I'm sure you'll think of something!!
Just wonderful!
Thanks so much for posting all the information on here and on the blog. I can only hope I'll be able to use some of it to plan something lovely for one of our anniversaries.
Looking forward to reading more of your future plans!
Wow, Carrie, that looked just amazing! I love the photos so much.
I am going to make it my ambition to do something like this for one of our anniversaries. If it were to be a surprise for DH I would make it at One Man's Dream, if that was possible, because it is his favourite attraction
That sounds like a wonderful ideaI think One Man's Dream would be a great place for an event!
Wow....... that was fantastic!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing and congratulations on three years.
You're a fun couple.
I am in awe right now and sooooooo jealous! I would love to do something like this someday.....WOW...all I can say is WOW!!!! I wish upon a star that I can do this someday...not sure if my hubby would be into it, but I know my Mom & Sister would!!!! Did you hire a photographer following you?
Waiting for us at the dock were an event guide, a park event manager and a couple other people who all welcomed us to Hollywood Studios and lead us into the park, down Sunset Blvd., and up the stairs by Tower of Terror's gift shop exit.
To my surprise and delight, the event staff had set our table up right in front of the open lobby doors, instead of back in the dark corner where the event space technically is. Guess I didn't need a light-up cake after all!
And then yet another surprise: One of the event staff invited us to step into the lobby, unhooked the velvet rope, and told us we could go take pictures on the set!!! Again, I'll save most of these for the full trip report, but here's a sampling:
Dinner was interesting. Our wonderful server was there when we needed her and gone when we didn't. My hopes for the food soared when she brought out four beautifully plated salads, each bursting out of a hollowed-out tomato and garnished with a flower made of vegetable shavings.
California Greens with Choice of Lemon Vinaigrette and Avocado Cream Dressings
However the entrees had not been split for us and came out looking more like your typical convention-center food.
Beef Fillet with Red Wine Demi, Mashed Potatoes, Asparagus, and Roasted Tomatoes
Pacific Salmon with Lemon Butter, Mashed Potatoes, Asparagus, and Roasted Tomatoes and a side of Jiko White Cheddar Macaroni & Cheese
We found the food pretty underwhelming. Granted, it had been made in the Hollywood Studios' central kitchen and shipped out to Tower of Terror on a cart, and then it sat around waiting for us to arrive and finish taking a bazillion photos. But the fish was dry and bland, and its accompaniments had been steamed into a soggy, homogenous mass. The "Jiko" macaroni and cheese tasted like it had come out of The Blue Box. Jensey very diplomatically compared their filet to the passable fare at Applebee's, which made me smile because I use that name as a culinary insult.
At least Patrick was appropriately attired for dividing up our meal
Thanks for the kind words. We sure had a lot of fun at TOTI hope you get to do it too sometime!
