Disney Wedding Planning Trip Report June 2012


I know this took a while but here is our trip report from our engagement trip in June to plan our Disney Wedding! Enjoy!
Day One Part One...
Well we of course decided to leave at midnight on Saturday and got to Disney around 9. And of course I almost slept the entire way which drives Chris crazy. We did stop at Cracker Barrel on the way like every other Cartwright family vacation but this time I refused to eat anything besides Bacon to save room for that Mickey Waffle I had been craving for the past year. As soon as we entered through the infamous WELCOME signage we all agreed to check out the newly built Art of Animation Hotel. This meant that I could try out the cafeteria and get my Waffle which was fine with me. 
The New Art of Animation Hotel was Awesome!
Featuring my favorite character of course!
Really cool light included in all of the great details 
I was instantly amazed at the immense detail that Disney put into this new addition. The sparkling pool was beautiful, the store is huge and full of great merchandise, the cafeteria is amazing, and you even notice little details here and there that are so different from anything else on property. 
After this we decided to head to Bay Lake Tower to try and check in…which of course took a while and in the end we were told to go play and that they would text us as soon as our hotel was ready. 


So we headed to the outlets so that Chris and I could get a head start on shopping for home goods. You know we became surprisingly obsessed with shopping on this trip. Between shopping for our future place together, and shopping for some things for the wedding it got a little insane. Every time we turned around whether in the parks or traveling to different hotels,you could find us in some sort of gift shop :) I’m not complaining though I'm glad Chris and I finally see eye to eye with my hobby of shopping.
Well after we went to a couple of the stores we got the infamous text….”rooms ready” which translated to NAP TIME! 
So we headed back to Bay Lake to check out our home for a week and to nap and get prepared for our visit to Magic Kingdom that night for 2am Extra Magic Hours. See we had this brilliant plan that we would not head over to the park until around 8 or 9 so that the big crowds with their screaming kids would leave and we would hit all the rides we wanted to in a matter of a couple of hours. Feel free to read on to see if this plan worked….
