The Bridal Party At Disney!
On June 21st 2003, the majority of our bridal party met for the first time to spend some time getting to know each other and reconnecting with those we hadn't seen in a long time. Bet and Kerry even came from Texas and Maine, respectively! We all spent the day at Disney's Magic Kingdom and had a great time!
Here's the group that was able to make it! This is before we entered the park. l to r: Bet, Jessica, Ryan, Manny, Stephanie, Heather, Tadd, Kerry
This is us hanging around the park gate, waiting for Bet to exchange his free ticket for a regular one so he could enter the park.
After we rode Space Mountain and the Buzz Lightyear ride, it started pouring. Here's Manny and Stephanie trying to stay dry.
Bet and Jessica ran to buy a couple of those stylish Mickey ponchos in order to stay dry. Unfortunately, the hard rain became a drizzle about 10 minutes after these photos were taken and they never needed their ponchos again after that.
Manny and Bet, thinking themselves to be Captain Hook and Peter Pan, broke out in a swordfight as we exited the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Luckily, no one got hurt.
The line for Splash Mountain was rather long. So we did a lot of goofing off to pass the time.
Here's Jessica and Bet once we finally made it on Splash Mountain.
This is the best photo I could get of the rest of our Splash Mountain log from my vantage point. They each sit 8 people, so we all fit in there perfectly. Ryan and Kerry took the front, then me and Tadd, then Bet and Jessica, then Manny and Stephanie! Splash Mountain is my favorite ride at Magic Kingdom.
Here's me and Kerry on It's A Small World. We spent our time on that ride searching for "hidden Mickeys". We didn't actually find any until we exited the ride.
Towards the end of the evening, we found ourselves back on Pirates of the Caribbean for one last ride. The guys couldn't resist having us pose for this silly photo. Captain Ryanbeard and his prisoners!
