Did you guys ever get this sorted out? If the Grand Floridian doesn't work out, some of the local stylists work with Disney guests often and will come to the room. I can't recommend Beaute Speciale highly enough. They did hair and makeup for our wedding (seven women total), and everyone...

I know it's not very Disney-esque, but I love the Sunset Boulevard BGM in Hollywood Studios.

The license costs about $95 USD. A Florida marriage license can be issued in any county in Florida, not just the county where the wedding will take place. This is lucky for you, because Brevard County offers a mail-away service that really streamlines the process for overseas couples. You can...

Disneyland doesn't have an in-house photography service like Disney Fine Art Photography at WDW, but they do allow outside photographers to shoot portrait sessions in the parks. You could look at a vendor review website like Yelp or even Weddingwire to find portrait photographers in the Anaheim...

It's true, but I think a private IllumiNations party can serve well as another wedding event. You could do one as a "welcome party" on Thursday so that out of town friends and family can meet/reconnect before the rehearsal on Friday.

We were married on the 5th! It's a good date. It's the date that Doc Brown came up with the idea for the flux capacitor, which, as we all know, is what makes time travel possible. Plus, it's Guy Fawkes day, so you'll always "remember, remember the fifth of November" on your anniversary. The...

It wasn't bad at all. I'd say that half of our WDW vacations at this point have overlapped Jersey Week, and while Food & Wine does get a little busier every year, that week is no worse for crowds than the weeks before and after. It's a great time to have a wedding, and a great time for...

Where are you staying? I think all you need is a hotel room balcony, an iPod, and perhaps some room service champagne.

You want the crab nachos at Todd English's bluezoo lounge.

I happen to think that it's a mistake for anyone to be married in heels if they aren't a staple of the bride's usual wardrobe. I wore flats for mine. It may be a wedding, but any day in WDW is still a lot of walking. In fact, my matron of honor walked down the aisle barefoot because she made...

I think the regular surrey bikes do just fine. I also think that there's no rule that a bride has to wear heels for her wedding. A bride's attire should be indicative of her own style. If she isn't comfortable walking in heels, she should probably stick to flats or sandals. It's central...

I've been told that the best names for dogs are the ones with crisp sounds and only one or two syllables. I would probably pick something like Daisy, Dixie (The Fox and the Hound 2), or Ruby (Lady and the Tramp II).

I have to say, I've visited Il Mulino a number of times, including on holiday weekends or with parties large enough to trigger an automatic gratuity, and we've never had a reservation. It's really easy to walk up there and get a table without a wait.

I agree with @DisneyPrincess5. The honeymoon was different for us because we made it different. We stayed longer than we ever had before, and chose options for lodging, dining and entertaining that were slightly more "luxurious" than our usual. And the fact that we had just planned and...

I don't think that will be a problem. Is the dim sum an action station? They'll probably keep putting food out for as long as people are eating. A lot of brides that do a traditional meal for their reception end up moving some of the food to the cocktail hour just because there's too much...

Oooh, a dim sum station sounds amazing, and I haven't seen any other Disney brides mention that before!

Really the only Disney podcasts I listen to are the Disney Hipsters (be warned, not family-friendly) and ISO5571 (which is a Disney photography podcast).

I know that the idea that you can't wear black to a wedding because it's a color of mourning is outdated, but I still don't like to see the moms in black. Besides, it's late spring in Flordia. Black is too warm.

For those of you who have never seen this, it could be because your bank doesn't apply a dollar amount to these temporary authorizations. Some banks do, and some don't. Some banks also take a lot longer to hold and clear those temporary authorizations than others do. Disney isn't the one that...

If I recall, Kouzzina didn't have salt and pepper at the table either. What's with the aversion to having the meal the way the chef intends for it to be prepared anyway?
