Here is what I have been doing the last few days.....
Well, eventually I chose my dress which was this one:
I may leave it sash free, I've decided to wait until June before I make any final decisions.
I have booked Carolyn Allens for my dress steaming, I have let her know I will forward the details of my dress material closer to the time, as I don't have my dress yet, so I'm not sure. She is due to come at 06.00am and I have my dress, my mothers outfit and Steven's suit to be steamed. I think her prices are very reasonable.
On another note, I had planned to have my wedding day lunch at The Grand Floridian Cafe at 13.00. This was mega convenient as Randy will be taking pics of us here, so it was just a stroll over when he was finished. However I have been informed on the Restaurant board that The GFC are hosting for 1900 Park Fare from June til October, or something like that, so the menu will obviously be different. If this is the case, I will change my ADR to Kona Cafe instead. Does anyone know if this is true or not?
So, if this does happen I have a question regarding the location of our post ceremony pics. If we do end up going to Kona Cafe which is at The Poly Resort, would it be better to have our post ceremony pics taken there? I know they have a beach too, and I really want beach pics, but it just seems a hassle to go to The GF from SBP, then go to The Poly for lunch. We have the limo for 4 hours, but I don't know what time that starts from. My wedding is at 10.00am so I was thinking it starts from 09.00am so that would take me up to 13.00, which would in theory get me to lunch on time
.
What does everyone think of the location for these pics? Is the Poly a nice place to get these done, or should I stick with The GF?
I am also due to book my ADR's on Friday
and I have tried to schedule my dinner reservations around things like Wishes, Illuminations and Fantasmic, esp during the 1st week when my mom is with us.
I couldn't convince Steven to book WCC, he is too easily embarrased so he wouldn't go for it
However I am really happy with my choice of ADR's, we are going pretty much everywhere I wanted including V & A on our Wedding night, chef's menu!!!!
I am also trying to organise activities in Nassau and
Castaway Cay when we are on our
DCL cruise.
I am thinking of booking a villa suite while on the DCL for the both of us on the 2nd day of our cruise. Here is the info below:
The Vista Spa has been renovated and now has luxury Villa suites. These can be reserved for either one guest or for couples wishing to share a spa experience.
All of the Villa reservations includes a tea ceremony, a bathing ritual of your choice and a foot cleansing ceremony. For a fee, a bottle of champagne and strawberries can be added. You may also reserve additional spa treatments
Couples Choice - 130 minutes
You'll choose a 75 minute spa treatment from the following selections: Elemis Aroma Stone Therapy, Elemis Cellutox Aroma Spa Ocean Wrap, Elemis Musclease Aroma Spa Ocean Wrap, Exotic Lime & Ginger Salt Glow with half body massage, Exotic Frangipani Body Nourish Wrap with half body massage or the Exotic Coconut Rub & Milk Ritual Wrap with half body massage.
I really like the sound of the above treatment
I have reserved Rainforest passes for the duratuion of our cruise which include:
Relaxing on the heated tile lounge chairs, enjoying an aromatherapy scented session in a steam room and an aromatic mist and rainfall shower. Sounds like heaven to me...
I have also arranged for a Romantic couples basket to be delivered to our stateroom on the first night which includes: delivered to your stateroom includes two robes with DCL logo, silver picture frame, voucher for 8"x10" photo and chocolates.
I am also booking a dinner reservation at Palos, which is an adults only restaurant, the food looks amazing!
As for excursions I am thinking of the day trip to Atlantis when in Nassau and hiring bicycles when in Castaway Cay, the island looks beautiful, so would love to explore it. Don't want to do too much here as it's an Adults only beach and I think I'd be quite happy to soak up some rays!!
So far it's all going to plan and the couples massage/villa is going to be a surprise for my DF.
