Would love to do it at Disneyland. Does anyone know the rules on something like this?? Been married for 14 years, and I want her to know if I had a choice I would do it all over again. :)

Disneyland has packages you can do. They aren't cheap. If you wanted to do something informal with just a couple friends, there are places within Disneyland you could probably do it quickly. Places would be Courtyard of Angels, Mark Twain, and the Wishing Well. Mrs Mouse 02-14-2008, 07:40 PM What is it you want to do? Disneyland has packages you can do. They aren't cheap.

Good luck with the planning - it sounds like your wife is a lucky lady! :) genericeric 02-14-2008, 07:40 PM Yeah it would just be a simple little thing with friends, real quicklike. Looked at Disney packages and they start at 15,000. Thats not in the budget lol. Might just do it on the beach or something as well, I read somewhere else Disney frowns on this and the security would ask us to leave the park :confused: Drince88 02-14-2008, 07:41 PM I saw an actual marriage on a Storybook Land boat. They took the whole boat with their group, and the officiant did all of the talking instead of the cast member, and they finished by the time they were back at the dock. They weren't impacting any other guests (which I think is important) and it was a private affair, basically. (I was on the Casey Jr Train at the same time, which is the only reason I even knew it was going on.)

Might just do it on the beach or something as well, I read somewhere else Disney frowns on this and the security would ask us to leave the park :confused:I've seen some very elaborate proposals and a wedding (not one of Disney's) at Disneyland. Someone was married once on the Mark Twain while we were there and the cast was friendly. In July I think, a cast member at Haunted Mansion got engaged there and it was great. We were right there with them as we were waiting in the HA line and the guy proposed in front of the hearse. They had a ton of her friends and family and she was very surprised. My son proposed in the wheelhouse on the Mark Twain. It was great. genericeric 02-14-2008, 09:00 PM AWESOME!! Thank you soo much, sounds like I got bad advice from the other peeps. Thank you guys soo much!! Now im excited again, Walt and CO have become a pretty important part of our family, and with Disney being so important to both os us what better place to renew our Love than in the Magic kingdom? My wife was disabled when she gave birth to our Daughter 12 years ago, the pregnancy brought on a Neurological disorder, She gets Migraines and has little strokes quite often. All that said i couldnt imagine my life without her, sick or not, she is the most important thing in my life and I want this to be special for her. Any advice you could give would be OH so appreciated. Malcon10t 02-14-2008, 09:10 PM Just to clarify, they don't promote doing things like this, and if it gets to big, they will shut it down. A quick little thing in one of the out of the way areas will be smiled at, but if you are blocking walkways during a busy time, they will tell you to move on. MammaSilva 02-14-2008, 09:13 PM If you want to do this the key is quiet, simple and off the CM paths, most of the CM's will smile and keep going but you might get one that is very rule book orientated and they can notify security who will at the very least interupt the proceedings to question you all. The court of Angels has a lot of activity so while it would be lovely it's not exactly private. The stairwell is used for access to backstage for CM's in the area so it might not be a great choice. If your wife uses a wheelchair for mobility, my personal suggestion would be a cruise on the Mark Twain, they will load your wife and your party first which gives you a chance to 'grab' the bow area and you'd have a nice uninterupted area to pledge your love once again. If that idea isn't a fav, then maybe over on TSI away from the dock, another area for a private moment. Another quiet spot is pretty 'forgotten' and that's the area that is called Fantasia gardens, it's over across from the Matterhorn and last time I was there they had little tables and chairs for people to stop and enjoy a snack but I've never seen it really crowded so if you went in and just waited to get the back of the area for your group you could easily do it there. Another idea is if you have a love of the train, they have a special car for wheelchairs and you could have the ceremony while riding around the park. I hope these ideas help. genericeric 02-14-2008, 09:14 PM Would be Me and Wife, two Kids and our friend whos a Pastor in So Cal, and would be off to the side. At most if my parents and hers came we are looking at 10 people. Thank you for the advice, im excited again :D MammaSilva 02-14-2008, 09:16 PM Make sure to have a friend with a camera and buy those wedding ears! genericeric 02-14-2008, 09:44 PM UGG, thanks, yeah better make sure someoen is on hand for pics LOL. And I hadnt thought of the wedding ears, That will make for the perfect Picture! The old man 02-14-2008, 10:55 PM I've always wondered why this is done? Is it because they didn't take the first time? Wasn't it made clear the first time it was till death...etc.? PanFan 02-14-2008, 11:10 PM Call Disneyland and let them know what you want to do. They can help you set something special up (there's a few CM's in FL that specialize in engagements, but they could definitely do something like this as well). We had a really sweet engagement at the Wishing Well the other day! dawnid 02-15-2008, 12:23 PM I've always wondered why this is done? Is it because they didn't take the first time? Wasn't it made clear the first time it was till death...etc.? Are you married???? For many a woman, who has spread thru child birth, wrinkled around the eyes, and complained when she knew she should just keep her mouth shut, after all this having your man acknowledge that he would still marry you is priceless. We all know they are stuck with us until death but knowing they'd sign up again after knowing the bad side of you is heartwarming. Malcon10t 02-15-2008, 01:00 PM Are you married????

I think its great the OP wants to do this. jeffthechef 02-15-2008, 02:03 PM Very good ideas from all. Though it's not in the budget in the forseeable future, this is something I'd like to do someday;) genericeric 02-15-2008, 02:21 PM Thanks again guys, and thank you Panfan, will call DLR right away and see what they have to say. :D oohykitten 02-15-2008, 02:36 PM I would LOVE to do that next year. We got married at the court house and our vows since it was so wham bam thank you ma'am, were answered with "Um what?" instead of anything with meaning. We got stuck in traffic on the 5 and missed our appt with someone that was going to marry us on the Mark Twain. Plus it didn't help that on our first date we picked our wedding date (strange I know) and didn't know it was Walt's wedding anniversary as well so the park was booked wedding wise. kimmybear 02-15-2008, 02:47 PM my parents went to disneyland for their honeymoon and are celebrating 30 yrs together by going to disneyworld. strangely at the same time their kids are going to DL... lol. :D The old man 02-15-2008, 10:40 PM Are you married????

My wife doesn't need it, she is secure in our marriage. genericeric 02-16-2008, 06:13 AM I've always wondered why this is done? Is it because they didn't take the first time? Wasn't it made clear the first time it was till death...etc.? For us, we were married in a civil ceremony, but have since become Christian. We know God recognises our Civil marriage but wish to enter into a covenant with each other and Him. That and I want her too know we would do it all over. Thats awesome your wife wouldnt want to do this, luckily for me, we both want to renew our covenant with each other. Hope that answers for you why we wish to do this, to each their own :) The old man 02-16-2008, 08:30 AM Deleted typical Old Man comment. |
