Shantel + Anthony : Wedding Pavilion Ceremony and Living Seas Reception

September 17, 2019 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Shantel and Anthony met almost 9 years ago! They’ve been coming to Walt Disney World every fall since 2015. The summer after Shantel’s college graduation, Anthony took her to dinner in Cinderella Castle. They took their time leaving the park after closing, and Anthony proposed by the Partners statue! Ever since that moment, Shantel dreamed of bringing their family to enjoy what they love about Disney!

We’re so so happy we got to be a part of it, thank you to all of their other lovely vendors! :)

The Roots Take on the Disney Dream May 2019

September 12, 2019 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Sometimes we go years without a Disney Cruise wedding but this year we got lucky- TWO cruise weddings within 4 months!

In May, Ollie was at the peak of his Peter Pan obsession, but we definitely boarded with a lost boy and left with a PIRATE! He’s truly obsessed with all things Hook, Smee, and pirate related- This is him looking hard for pirate ships (or “potty chips” in Ollie-ese) on pirate night in a little outfit I snagged on Amazon!

He. Does. This. Every. Where.

One of my favorite memories of our trip was just snuggling in bed and watching Peter Pan every night before bed. <3

Ollie’s definitely been fur character phobic for the past year, so I was SHOCKED when he buddied right up to Pluto!! They dug for shells together and everything. Ollie’s definitely a dog person, so I think we need more visits with this pup asap!

Goofy, on the other hand… COMPLETELY different story!! Oliver nervously walked up to him, Goofy took that as a sign to grab his hand an walk him away from me…

… BIG mistake. HUGE. lol :)

Just the most picture perfect, gorgeous weather, empty beach for Ollie’s first blissful visit to Castaway Cay!!

Juuuust kidding. 100º and PACKED! :)

We were secretly happy he takes after us- Not a beach kid (for now!)

This was his face the rest of our time on Castaway!

Not the best photo of myself, but maybe the most “Mom” photo I’ve taken yet. This was the moment Ollie became obsessed with the alarm buttons on elevators!!! He’s so sneaky and will hit them every. damn. time. if we’re not paying close attention!!

He loves finding Nemo!!

You might remember his first reaction to the splash pad 4 months before– TOTALLY different game on this visit! But as of this summer, he hates them again! Oh, toddlers. ;)

I couldn’t believe our luck- A friend of mine from high school was on the same cruise with her gorgeous kiddos!! We made them take some family photos on Deck 4!! :)

And her husband Chad took one of my favorite photos of us ever! :)

Look. At. Our. Pirate!!!

Vacation Ollie really is the best Ollie. <3

You also may remember from our last cruise that Ollie thinks every photo of Walt is Nate. This stuck, thank goodness!! :)

Disney Cruise Line, we love you!!! And Ace and Michael, thank you for bringing us aboard!!! <3
