The Mom, I can understand where you are coming from about registries but the times they are a-changin'. We personally will be more or less avoiding registries all together for our wedding in the hopes that people will give us money or special keepsake gifts because quite honestly we don't need anything. If we need things, we go out and buy them. I have lived on my own for eight years and my fiance for six. We now live together and have everything we could possibly need...and two of many things. I even inherited two sets of china - one from my mother and one from my grandmother.
That being said, I think the Disney registry is a really fun idea. In our case, people would just be giving us money anyway most likely, so why not get to see what it goes toward? I should mention that we don't plan to advertise this registry and have told our parents just in case there are people who insist on buying things from a registry or think it's a cool idea. Actually we mostly started the registry as a way to save for our honeymoon. When we have extra cash, instead of putting it in the bank where we might be tempted to spend it, we buy things off our honeymoon registry.
If people think it's strange or tacky, we don't really care. In this whole wedding thing all along we have done what will make us happy. It's our wedding day and we're not spending all this money to please other people (Even though our budget is quite low, it's still a lot of money in the scheme of things).
