I'm just curious.... did you get to keep the robes?
I wish! They were super nice and honestly I just assumed that they were not for keeps. I hope you get a dream come true on your trip on October!

No way! Yes - Tye Arnold was one of our groomsmen and one of DH's friends from high school. He will flip when I tell him.
Okay, I LOVED your OP! How exciting! Congratulations! Hope you took tons of pictures...and feel free to share!
I was talking to my mom yesterday about the castle stay prize, and she said she didn't really want to win that. I asked, WHY NOT????? She replied that it just didn't seem that exciting to her. I was astounded. My mom really loves WDW, has an AP, and goes several times per month. She gets into it big time! So I asked her to explain WHY this prize would not excite her...she said...(prepare to laugh, folks!)...
"I don't know, it just doesn't seem that exciting to me to stay there all night. Does it have a bed or any furniture in it???"
Ummmmmmmm, HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
That's when I realized I have been DISing too long. I just about lost it when I figured out she didn't know anything about the renovations. She seriously thought you just got to tour the castle and then stay overnight in a tiny, cold, dark, unfinished room with a cot or something!!!!
Where is the room located. We sat on the west side of the castle with a bunch of people and we were all contemplating where the room was. Could you tell?
Let's see if I can properly describe the easiest way to see the windows of the suite. They are located on the back side of the castle, facing out sort of towards Fantasy Land. If you come up the back of the castle, taking the path that runs past Belle's Story time area (its kind of a secluded little path) you'll see 3 stained glass windows together off to the right side of the castle about midway up. Those are the suite windows in the sitting room. I am pretty sure its somehow situated above CRT. There was a door in the middle of the castle (that walkway area) that opened into the office area and elevator up to the suite.
Does that help at all???
Great thread! What a wonderful life memory for the whole family!
Under your Dumbo ride picture, you said that this was the elephant that caused your husband to be a winner. Do you think that is how they decided it-they picked an elephant and whoever was lucky enough to ride in it, wins?
