The disneyland FTW staff was great. It was the wedding of her dreams and so beautiful. I still have my one year old grandson so my time is very spoken for but here are a few thoughts. I will post more and pics later ( someone please remind me how to post pics!)
Rehersal dinner at the parkview terrace at the GCH : food excellent, tables and linnens excellent, staff very excellent! I know there were a few more people there than we had submitted a count for no mention was ever made of it by the staff. No rushing us to leave ( was scheduled from 5 to 7 pm) we were told to take our time nothing else was going on there.
Dressing room help the morining of the wedding: co ordinator visits and gets us rolling and keeps all working well , even reminding all to take a potty break before dressing, at the last minute we decided to put my grandson , the bride and grooms son, in a little tikes push car to go down the aisle in , they went and got some tule and ribbon to decorate it with I was impressed! They were not pushy or rude just kept things moving helped gather up stuff to go back to rooms and made sure the bride was hydrated , fed, and calm. They looked out for the groom so they wouldnt encounter one another before the ceremony and kept telling me to relax as the mother of the bride and to just enjoy the day!
Reception: the room was beautiful, the food once agian excellent ( they didnt pile it into the serving dishes and let it stand, they replenished frequently with fresh food.) I decided at the reception to host the no host bar for 30 mins and that was not a problem with them, with my permission they had the staff visit each table and take drink orders and served them.
The one fault was clearing dishes and drinks when someone left the table but when told about it they replenished what was gone, the manager who came on duty was also a manger at show events and felt bad so he comped the newleyweds a fantasmic dessert showing and when we didnt go with them he was like well were are your family and they explained that they didnt know it included them he gave my daughter his office and cell phone number and said he owed us one and on our next visit to call him and he would comp the party once again.
The bridal couple had the included standard room that comes with FTW packages , but on the advice of their wedding co ordinator they asked for an upgrade : I know darn well she had something to do with them getting a suite, lol.
Also they held the top layer of the cake, the remainder of the groom cake and the babys first birthday cake for us until we checked out the next day.
The entire experience just brought out the Disney Touch :Its the guest that we are here for.
Also my poor husband attempted to suprise me with a 50th aniversary robe he got it home without my knowledge all the way to No Ca , didnt have his glasses on found the securtiy tag left on and tried to remove it, ink all over the place. He felt so bad ( he once had to pry a security tag off of a bra that I needed before going to Las Vegas years ago that he thought it was a no brainer) , he called the resort and explained what he had done , they are sending a new one and a pick up tag for the damaged one. Disney is amazing we went from the bride without a room, to a suite and a wonderful memorable wedding.
I will post pics eventually and more of a personal recap .
