The next morning we slept in as late as possible without missing the concierge breakfast. Kris actually had to run down ahead of me to get us plates.
While I was getting ready my maid of honor called because somehow her family didnt hear that we had decided not to do the brunch at 1900 Park Fare. I had even called the restaurant that morning to leave a message for them about our group not being able to come to brunch. I asked if she wanted Kris and I to come down and she said not to worry about it that they would catch up with us later. I felt so bad that they hadnt heard at the DP; I tired to talk to everyone but it was inevitable that we would have missed someone. We had over half the people that were originally planning to attend that couldnt make it because of the time of their Magical Express pickups, plus with everyone so tired from the night before it didnt make sense to try to squeeze it in that morning.
Around the same time I got a text message from my matron of honor who was at the airport getting ready to head back to MI. She sent it to all of the girls in the bridal party and said that she looked forward to Kris and mine 10th anniversary being celebrated at WDW too!
After breakfast Kris and I called my parents to see if they were already at the park yet or not. Everyone was going to the Magic Kingdom, so it was fun to just jump on the monorail for a short trip to get there. On the ride over we ran into another couple that had just gotten married. The groom asked if we had our special gift and I said no that we hadnt gotten it. He showed off his to us. We chatted for a few minutes and then when we arrived at the park we went our separate ways. Its too bad it wasnt a bride that I knew from the boards.
When they walked away Kris asked why we hadnt gotten that gift. I never mentioned it to him because I wanted it to be a surprise; I told him that I would have to check to see. I ended up asking Marions assistant after we got home and it turned out that she forgets it a lot. We were mailed the gift a month after the wedding, but at least we got it. I dont want to reveal too much as a spoiler to future brides. Just dont be shy about asking for your gift since they are suppose to give it to all the couples, I think it just slips their mind sometimes.
I had forgotten my bride ears in a bag of stuff from the dessert party that had been sent back to my parents room, so our first day officially married and I was earless
We had put on our Just Married pins and it was neat to hear so many of the cast members saying congratulations to us.
When we first arrived we took the train to the back where we rode the two mountains.
We got off in Frontier Land where we rode Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain before meeting up with the family.
We met my parents and some of the family at the shooting gallery where my dad and cousin were having a competition we then headed off to the castle where we got a group shot before heading off to Tomorrowland. This was one of the shots that we got off PhotoPass CD.
As you can see it was really starting to get dark outside.
My cousin and his girlfriend had ran into the Dream Squad when they were coming in that morning. They gave away the night in the castle to a couple that was right in front of them; they were so close to one of the best dreams! I joked with him and said that since it was the week of my wedding he would have had to share with us!
We got a fastpass for Buzz Lightyevar then jumped on one of my favorite rides the Peoplemover.
My mom and dad:
We then went on Buzz Lightyear where I actually scored high enough to move into the second category which has never happened to me! I finally hit one of the 100,000 targets.
After that my cousin and his girlfriend came with Kris and I to ride Space Mountain. By this time, my aunt and other cousin had called my mom and they were heading in our direction to meet up too.
Since we had gotten such a late start it was already mid-afternoon at this point, so we decided to head towards the front of the park stopping at Pirates of the Caribbean along the way we got to see Jack Sparrow too.
Everyone was asking about our room and what it was like to be staying on concierge level, so Kris and I decided to invite them over to check it out.
While all of these members of my family are avid Disney lovers at this point none of us would ever be able to afford a stay in the Grand Floridian especially on the concierge level, so we thought it would be nice to share a little of that experience with them. The characters in the carpet along the hallway:
Out on the balcony:
We took the monorail over and then took the different elevators until we arrived at our floor. We walked everyone down to check out our room and at that point my little cousin (who we had the cake for the night before) was saying that he was starving. Since it was his birthday I said why we dont go check out the snacks that they have in the lounge. The group of 9 of us then heads down to the lounge where we snacked on lots of delicious appetizers and treats. I was really impressed with the variety of things offered. They had some really yummy cupcakes too!
It sounds like something I think my DF is going to do but his choice would be Taco Bell! Can you imagine?!?!?
Glad you had a wonderful day, can't wait to hear more and about the MK shoot.
I love that he tried to have the plate of chocolate covered strawberries and champagne sent up to your room for the night too. Brad wanted to do that, but we were so exhausted that it would have been a waste. We did get roomservice however a bit after midnight. I got french onion soup and he got a burger...they stay open all night at the GF. Believe me...we were very grateful for that one. 
The McDonald's trip will definitely go down as a family story for years to come 
I totally forgot that you were going to be gone at Disney of all places; I'm so jealous 
ended up coming to our table and she asked Kris if he was Prince Charming? She then asked how long we had been married and when he told her we had just gotten married yesterday at Epcot she made a long speech congratulating us and saying that he must be a prince if we had gotten married at Disney World 
I know he was a little embarrassed, but it was fun to get the extra attention.
