Introducing KanineKrunchies

I will definitely update on the trip and how it pans out. Right now, the plan is: get married on the 6th, recuperate the 7th, leave the 8th to drive down. Arrive the 9th in Orlando, spend a day at Universal (just for HP world...that is the sole reason haha), be at Port Canaveral the 11th to leave on our cruise to the Bahamas, come back the 15th and check in to Caribbean Beach Resort, and stay at Disney until the 21st (though we may go to a park on the 22nd, just not staying that night). We are switching hotels to Coronado on the 19th, because we couldn't decide on just one hotel.

We left a lot of open space so we didn't feel too over scheduled, but we made reservations for the Dessert Party on the Terrace at MK, dinner at Be Our Guest, and dinner at Coral Reef. We may add some more in, but those were the ones we knew we really wanted and booked them as soon as we could. We also plan on buying a nice piece of Disney art while we are there.

Thanks, JeffC!

Not too many dining reservations right now (might add some more), but after reading some of the food threads we will be definitely snacking on: Dole Whips, jalapeno pretzels, whatever that monstrous chocolate chip ice cream cookie thing was, and I really want a Butterfinger muffin...plus we always enjoy "drinking around the world"

Haha what is funny is, my fiance and I are both going to be teachers. I start my first year this fall as an 8th grade teacher and he will follow the next year as a science teacher. It is really the kids' age span and schedule coordination that has "kept them down," but I am bound and determined to get them there for their next milestone anniversary (I think 30 is coming up).

JUST added Sci-Fi drive-in to the ADRs. Couldn't decide between 50's Primetime and Sci-fi, so fiance made the call!

You all are so, so sweet. Thanks so much for all of the well-wishes....we are almost at exactly one month!! It is now one month and a day til the wedding!

Sidenote: I keep reminding my fiance about our Disney trip....that is my countdown. He keeps having to remind me that we have a wedding and a cruise first ; ) I am excited for both of those, but reading the boards here have made me ready to just skip right on in to Disney. haha

@DisneyDee-- my family is all safe--we are some lucky SOBs. My parents and siblings (who all live in Moore--I live just South in Norman for now because it is by the University) didn't even lose power, my grandparents lost power but were safe, and somehow I didn't even lose my bridesmaids dresses, which had just made it to the Post Office. The Post Office took a direct hit and all of the things inside were lost. My dresses had been put on a truck that went out to deliver just before. We got them the day after the tornado. Crazy stuff. Glad to hear you have some Okie blood

That it has!

And I have been driving the fiance crazy the last couple of days with all of the things I learned on here : )

@ Nancy D-- I think I am now back into being excited about the wedding. I am ALWAYS excited about the man I am going to marry, but sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the wedding process and people's expectations. Now that I am back from my cousin's wedding, I think I am ready for it to happen and to enjoy the day! Because even if everything goes wrong, as long as I end up married to him, that is all that matters. THAT, and our honeymoon : )

I am excited about the two resorts, too, but he and I are both wondering what happened to us staying at POR. That was originally the plan, but somewhere along the way I guess we changed to CBR and Coronado Springs! I am excited to try both out, but I wish at least part of the time we were at POR so we would have access to ferry. Since it is peak time right now I am worried about the locations of our hotels and having to wait for buses. BUT it will all work out!

16 days until the wedding and 25 til Disney!!

@ Kat--thanks, I am excited for the Disneymoon as well! Congratulations on the new addition!!

@ Magic Days: Thanks for the well wishes from a fellow Okie! We can't wait! We are a little nervous for some of our out of town guests' hotel reservations, because the Relief concert is the same day as our wedding now!

Thanks so much for helping out with the cleanup! I have been mostly doing what I can financially and my parents and siblings have been out there cleaning up some of the schools/ friends houses. Since we are talking about it--if anyone wants to help out, but doesn't have money/time to do so: vote for Moore's Veteran's Memorial Park, Coke is doing a contest for donations to a park--Moore is currently winning, but today is a double vote day!! First prize is $100,000 and would be used to help rebuild!

NancyD-- I KNOW!! I can't wait now. There are a bunch of tiny little things to get done, but I am just ready! And my fiance is normally not that emotional/sappy of a person, but I think he is getting really excited, too! We've been just having so much fun this past week doing the final prep and joking about worst case scenarios (for example, officiant not showing up) and I have found it kind of therapeutic to joke about those instead of WORRYING about them.

Thanks to all of you for being so supportive!
