Oh I just realized I do have an email from Yesenia with the prices my paper says.  Hopefully I can still get them!

Most of my guests were told about the limo thing during a quick orientation at check-in.  I didn't hear/know anything about using the Dollars towards a photo package though.  I guess it makes sense because you can use it towards the wedding costs as long as you've picked one of the collections (Amber, Diamond, Sapphire, etc).  I did a complimentary so I would not be able to use any $$ for that.

 

I think if you choose to use the Dollars for the wedding, you use the whole $1500, not just a portion.  I'm not sure though since this promotion is quite new.

 

The limo's were nice.  Just make sure to book everything as early as possible as there are a limited amount a space in tours, a limit on the amount of limo's they can send out, or passes they can sell for Wet n Wild, etc.  Many people couldn't get a limo ride back to the airport as they'd booked to late, but we carpooled anyways!

 

So as a tip, if you have your heart set on Swimming with Dolphins, sit down with them when you get there and book the excursion to make sure you don't miss out.

Thanks for the info! I didnt know about the limos either...good to know! So one person could book the limo and then as many as 8 can ride in it?

 

Can you use the vacation dollars for a photography package even with the free wedding package?

I have the email with those prices also. However, it also states "prices subject to change without notice"

Photography A: my list - 295, listed on site - 500

CD of photography: my list - 158, listed on site - 400

DVD: my list - 377, listed on site - 550

TTD: rate from Yesenia - 160, listed on site - 490

 

If this is the photographer and his new rates, I just went from thinking I was spending $990 to 1940!! Ahhh!!!  I at least have an email from Yesenia about the TTD price, but the other prices are on a print out I took from the website.  It does state "2010-2011 prices"?

I know the prices for the three man trio went up $60 from whats listed when I asked her to book it =)

I just finished reading through this entire thread! It has taken me at least a month (probably two!) but was very worth it. Thank You so much to everyone that has taken the time to post all of this helpful information. Especially those that have been through it all and keep coming back to help us b2b's! I will be sure to do my part and help in any way I can, though I have just begun planning so I don't know much yet. Thanks again!

We really need to gather all the information in here and turn it into a wiki so we/future brides dont need to read it for months. Wanna volunteer Kare since its so fresh in your head =) ? heheh 

 

Maybe I will work on that on Friday, No one wants to work at work on Fridays.

Yup! You got it right for the limo.  I rented one to go to Wet and Wild, and took 6 of our guests to Wet N Wild.  Then our friends rented one to go to the airport and a bunch of us with close departure times hopped in.  My parents also got one, and it was the 1st time they'd been in a limo, so they were so excited!

 

As for the photography package, the link I posted above for the $1500 said you could spend all $1500 on "Wedding Collections", and the complimentary ceremony is not part of the collections, as far as I understand.  It couldn't hurt to ask though!  I asked for things that I thought for sure they'd say no, and they kept saying yes! haha, that's always nice
