The gang from Walt Disney World.
Hi, there--from all of my friends (right) down here at Walt Disney World in Florida.
We’ve just compiled this Top Ten List of why you might want to plan a Disney Fairy Tale Wedding:
1) One-Stop Shopping. Quite simply, everything is here, under one roof, on property--from props and theme sites to costumes, music, flowers, and entertainment. It's a win-win situation.
2) There are plentiful hotel accommodations in a variety of themes and price ranges to appeal to all of your long-distance guests. In particular, The Grand Floridian, a grand hotel in Victorian style, is within walking distance of the Disney Wedding Pavilion and offers gracious dining and reception rooms.. The Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, New England-style seaside resorts perched right on the water, have a rose-framed Victorian wedding gazebo; the Polynesian Resort at Sunset Pointe, located on the Seven Seas Lagoon, has a palm-tree-shaded grassy knoll where couples often wed--against the backdrop of Cinderella's Castle at the Magic Kingdom; The Wilderness Lodge, at Sunset Terrace, offers picturesque waterfalls and whispering pines, plus lush gardens that overlook Bay Lake. Blocks of rooms can be arranged through, the main Disney reservation number; call: 407-828-8101.
3) On site-wedding coordinators will help you make your dreams come true. They can plan everything from wedding invitations and stationery needs to officiants, music, and flowers, and hold your hand throughout wedding day. Wedding planners can also arrange for wedding favors, welcome gifts in rooms, and set up a Disney Honeymoon Registry for you and your groom (guests make a contribution to your honeymoon at Disney in place of another gift!). Disney Fairy Tale Wedding planning DVD’s and Classic Disney Music CD’s are also available in most Disney Resort gift shops and many theme park stores. Contact Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons at: 321-939-4623 or log on to: www.disneyweddings.com.
4) Scores (if not hundreds) of restaurants are located throughout the Disney hotels and theme parks, in varied themes and cuisines. If you prefer one of these venues for a pre-wedding, wedding, or post-wedding celebration or dining event, you can reserve space through the Disney Dining phone number: 407-939-3463, up to 90 days before your stay here.
5) It is easily accessible to kids of all ages (2-92) who might need help navigating the 40 square miles of Disney World. The theme parks provide strollers, wheelchairs, and innovative, wide-bodied, electric “go-carts” (half mini-van, half motorcycle) that enable grandparents and parents to keep up with their families and scooter from one attraction to the next. Front rows at all performances and arena shows are reserved for anyone with a mobility difficulty. Great transportation will also get your guests to and from your wedding celebrations at no extra charge—to them or you.To and from Orlando International Airport, guests hop aboard Disney’s Magical Express—complimentary bus shuttle service to their hotels. The ultra-sleek monorail system and complimentary bus shuttle service also connect visitors to and from the theme parks and hotels—usually every 20 minutes.
6) Recreational extras: Enjoy tennis, golf (5 premiere courses + mini-golf), sailing (on the Seven Seas Lagoon), nightlife and great shopping at Downtown Disney. Go horseback riding and trail blazing on the 700 acres of rural Walt Disney World, led by the wranglers at Fort Wilderness Lodge.
7) Incredible complimentary bonuses will add sparkle to your celebration. Disney cast members in theme costume will animatedly and politely direct guests to where they need to be. Nightly parades of costumed characters fill the streets of the theme parks. At 9:00 p.m. every evening, a brilliant fireworks display cascades through the sky above Cinderella’s Castle in the Magic Kingdom, visible from all Seven Seas Lagoon-facing hotels and restaurants.
8) The economy has hit everyone hard, including resort destinations. Disney is now offering great package deals (i.e., discounted Magic Your Way room and dining-plan packages; Book 4 Night, Get 3 Nights Free packages). Call: 407-828-8101.
9) Rub elbows with celebrities and catch the glitter that might rub off as if it were pixie dust! Everyone in entertainment somehow ends up down here—from Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks to Olympic gold medalists to actors and politicians. The buzz down here is that most celebs like to slip into the Yacht Club and lose themselves in its quiet elegance. Rumor has it that last week, Paula Abdul was at Disney for the opening of the new American Idol pavilion and soundstage. The entire cast of High School Musical is around during the opening weeks of its films. This week, more than once, I’ve personally seen a young blonde who looks a lot like Britney Spears. Is she in Florida? (Stay tuned….)
10) It's fun! There's magic in the air....
DID YOU KNOW ... that over 1,500 couples per year get married at Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, Florida?.

Hi Andrea,
This list is great! I've been to a wedding at Disneyland and although I was sort of apprehensive beforehand, I ended up having one of the best experiences at a wedding ever, and I've been to quite a few.
