When we took my parents back to POR we went into their room for a few minutes to open some presents that didn’t make it into our car with us. On the way over Kris called my matron of honor’s husband to get their room number. They were staying at the SunSpree Resort off Hotel Plaza Boulevard and we needed to get the license signed since they were flying out early the next morning. The best man (who skipped the DP) had also moved over there.) Thankfully we were able to catch him since he had kind of disappeared.
Some of my family that live in Florida had bought us some household items including a silicon baking set and a nice set of sheets for our new King bed.
Then my dad handed us a big bag from Disney that had some really cool things in it.
He had bought us a platter that showed the castle and that was in the colors of the YOMD. He also got us two large pin sets- one was of the Castle and the other of Spaceship Earth (to commemorate our photos in the MK and our wedding at Epcot). We also got another commemorative set of Disney pins. These were some fun gifts that I absolutely loved! (Our regular gift was a washer and dryer set that they had bought for our house
)
After grabbing a few more items that we had left in their room we headed over to SunSpree. At this point, it was already around 11:30 pm, it had definitely been a long day. We pulled up in front of the hotel and left our car there, we figured who would give us a hassle when we were both in our wedding attire. We walked in the lobby and people were still yelling congratulations to us! The lobby in this hotel was very nice, but as we headed up the elevator the view got a little worse. I wasn’t too impressed by what I saw in the hallways leading to the rooms. We went to my matron of honor’s room first; they were in one of the outside towers and it was kind of scary walking to their room. They were all in bed already. One of the bridesmaids had bunked with her that night too.
Here she is signing the license. I still can’t believe that we had forgotten to get it signed up until that point in the evening! We said our goodbyes and let them get back to sleep since they had an early flight out the next day.
Kris got a hold of his best man and we headed to his room which was in the main tower. There were a lot of teenagers staying in this resort too; I’m thinking they were school groups. He had been asleep for several hours, so I told him I would make sure that I didn’t put his face in the picture.
We chatted for a few minutes and then it was time for us to head out too. As we were walking downstairs I told Kris that I was starving! We were worried that we wouldn’t be able to get any room service at that time of night, so guess where we went....
McDonald’s drive-thru
We just drove across to the Crossings. It was funny because there was two young girls working at the window and they were leaning out asking us if we had just gotten married, etc. (I wanted to laugh because I was in a wedding dress, so I thought that would give it away.) We munched on our late night snack as we headed back to the Grand Floridian for the night.
It was just after midnight when we got to the room and since we had started our day at 5 a.m. that morning we crashed!
On a side note, Kris had arranged for a dessert tray to be sent up to our room that night. Since we got in so late we weren’t able to get it. I thought it was so sweet
that he had thought about doing it though because it was just another thing that made our day all the more special. They offered to bring it the next night, but since we had a refrigerator full of leftover cake we decided against having it delivered.
It was finally the end of our perfect day, I couldn’t believe that after all the planning and hard work and with everything that we had gone through that year it had finally happened. We were both so happy with how things turned it, the wedding was amazing!
Even though I was slightly disappointed, I knew that we still had 5 days left at Disney and our MK shoot was in two days!
