Picture of a tropical bird

Para sailer

Picture of *guest* out on the pier

Picture of *guest* on the life guard tower

Picture of B & G playing mini golf *our first date*

picture of the event board on 4/17/12 *our wedding day*

Picture of *guest* at the swim up bar

group picture of shot rail

Firedancers

Fireworks

 

Can anyone else think of some fun things?

No, but from what I've read on the 2011 page, that they perform on Thursday nights, so I figure that could be something fun for my guests to do on their own or as a group.  I am trying to inspire exploration of the resort because it is so large and probably overwhelming that if they have a fun mission it might be successful.  Heck I am going to take part in my own scavenger hunt so I can do the same

Okay good.....Katie from Zuniga, sent me a youtube link of the dancers.  When we saw that, we decided not to book them ;-)  but will see them perform at the show.

Maybe a picture of a conch shell, or a picture of guest riding bikes through the resort?  So are you going to give them little prizes for the best one..sorry if I missed where you explained it earlier!

Prizes for the photos are going to be framed photos to the winners and that will happen after we get back.  We are doing a photo share with all of our guests *hopefully if they participate* and I think we are going to frame a picture of couple or each guest as a gift for them once we get home.  We'll be down there for 14 days, most of our guests will be leaving after 5 6 or 7 and this way it is something fun for us to enjoy looking at when we get home.  

 

We are also going to do a prize for the mini golf tournament since that was our first date we want to do that in full wedding gear after we say I do and after the cocktail hour.  I wish it was happening tomorrow so I can see how it all turns out

Try looking on Tuesday at 3?  Everything says that that is the cheapest time to buy airfare.  Also, try onetravel.com I have found that they have the cheapest rates.

Whatever you do, DO NOT buy on the weekends.  They raise the rates.

Coconoir - We found the best prices for April flights were late October, early November. They started to go up around Christmas because people start booking their spring vacations. And yes, usually Tuesday and Wednesday are the best days to check prices. That's when the airlines release specials or sales. Don't forget to try to find charter flights.

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm also a Moon Palace 2012 bride. The wedding is booked for May 10, 2012, which seems so very far away right now. I stayed at Moon Palace for a week in November 2010 and absolutely fell in love with it. I'm planning on doing OTT bags for my guests and would love any suggestions or helpful hints from anyone who is attempting or has already done the same thing. Looking forward to learning alot from this website.

Ok, I finallyyyy heard from someone at MP about a site visit!  I think it's because my TA put in a call to the Miami office. 

 

She sent me the packages and upgrades and some photos...

 

For those of you booked already, what package are you doing?  We're thinking the complimentary so we can customize it with colors, flowers, etc.  If you chose this, did you send photos of what you want?

 

Also, where are you having a reception at?  I would like something indoors with a view of the ocean, or outdoors.  Does anyone have photos of reception locations?  If so, could you send them to me at [email protected]?
