Quite a while ago I decided I would propose during my girlfriend’s and my Christmas trip. So I have a few ideas as to how I should propose, but I’m not sure as to the logistics of the ideas, or if there is a better option I could consider.
We will be down from November 29th until December 6th. The first night is when I’d like to pop the question. If I don’t do it then, I’ll be nervous the rest of the trip, and neither of us will have a good time because I’ll be nervous and edgy, and she become unhappy because I’m acting odd (or she’ll become suspicious—either way, not a good scenario). My plan is to make dinner reservations at Narcoossee’s, California Grill, or O’hana. I’m leaning towards Narcoossee’s because I think it will have the most romantic atmosphere.
So now that I’ve decided that (or at least think I have), I have more questions. We’ll be dining so that the fireworks will start just as we’re finishing dinner. So many people talk about how romantic it is to propose/be proposed to during the fireworks, so I thought I would combine a romantic dinner (the ole standby) with the fireworks. My only question is that since this is a MVMCP night, will Wishes be different? Specifically, will the “see, wishes really do come true” dialogue still happen?
Also, what is it like in Narcoossee’s during the fireworks? Are the lights turned down? If I were to give a camera to a CM prior to the fireworks starting, would they take some pictures during/right after I propose (or do they ask for ‘no flash photography’ during the fireworks?)? What other options do I have going this route?
My next question is if I should just suck it up and do it the next night. We will be in the MK that night for MVMCP. How crowded will it be that night? I would want to do it during the fireworks, but I don’t want to do it in a crowd of people; would that even be possible? I have thought about waiting until after the park closes, and doing it at the castle when the crowds have cleared—specifically, I have thought of asking a CM to “take our picture” and then right as s/he was about to take it, popping the question.
My only hesitation about doing this is that we’d both be hot, sweaty, and tired from a full day in the park, and she’d prefer getting engaged while dressed nicely and looking good. I’d prefer to do it on one of these two days. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. I don’t have the funds to do Gifts of a Lifetime. We both are huge Disney fans. She doesn’t really have any favorite character that sticks out that I should incorporate into this. We don’t really have a special place in the park (but will after this!), so I can’t really think of what I could incorporate into this to make it more magical. Any ideas or stories that could inspire some magic would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
