Wow Shelley all your stuff is amazing you are doing such a great job. I wish I had a creative streak I would love to make my own jewelry.

Congrats and welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum Lindsay I hope you decide to do it best decision we ever made. Have fun planning!

This one was tough all great girls. Good luck to everyone!

Good luck ladies!

I have seen more and more people joining the forum and having as much trouble as I was finding out information on The Majestic Colonial. So I figured I would help out others by posting all the information I have in one place for everyone to easily find. I don't have much on The Majestic Elgance but since they are sister hotels from what I have seen or heard they are pretty similar other than the Elegance has an Adults Only Area.
