How many of you married people

[Kadee]

My husband and I honeymooned at WDW in April 1988. He was in the Air Force and we were very poor, so we only spent 2 nights off property and 3 days in the parks. I still have the receipt from the Days Inn ($29.00/night with military discount). I had never been but he had been MANY times as he grew up in Sebring. There were only MK & Epcot then, but they were building MGM. I remember seeing the "Ears" go up.


The best part: Nine months later, our daughter was born.

Dream Honeymoon

My wife and I were married on December 28th, 2002, and left for our 10 day/9 night honeymoon at the Grand Floridian on January 1st. It took me ages to fully plan this trip. I had all kinds of spreadsheets tracking all the priority seatings, resevations etc. We were picked up at the airport in a towncar, and when we got to the hotel the magic went into overdrive. We got a 3rd floor dormer room overlooking the lagoon, and the castle. So everynight we would always look at the castle before going to bed, and every morning we would hear the whistle of the train at MK. We ate a some great restaurants including the California Grill (Dale is the best there!!!), Citricos, and Cinderella's Royal Breakfast. The cast members at the breakfast were awesome!!! They put little mickey confetti all over our table, and gave us a couple of champagne flutes with the restaurant logo to take home. Also at the California Grill, they made sure we had a table right by the window so that we could see the fireworks. The only drawback besides our feet, was that my wife truly found out how much I love Disney...she started calling me the Drill Sargeant because we were up at 5:30 everyday. No breaks or anything. The next time we went, we made sure to slow down. For her health and mine .

Hmmmm. I really hope that if/when I propose to my girlfriend, I can convince her to spend our honeymoon at WDW. It sounds so awesome....all the special little things that they do for you when you are there. I might have to get down on one knee, break out the ring and say "I'm doing this on one condition..." Anyone think that would work??

 

[diddy_mouse]

all these stories are great! i hope our honeymoon turns out exactly as planned (we're going next October and hope to stay at PO-French Quarter). definitely look foward to the perks that so many of you have described woo hoo! free stuff!

SpenceMan:

See if you can get her there before and then pop the question on the bridge (end of Main Street) with Cinderella's castle in the background. Time it just right and tell the CM that's always there taking pictures to snap a photo of the moment. She will surely agree to honeymoon there :king:

My best friend's fiance proposed to her in the Magic Kingdom. He did it after Wishes had ended and the park was almost empty right in front of the castle. He even bought her a ring in a ring box with a light so she'd be able to see it in the dark. It sounded so sweet and romantic when she told me. They're both cast members so it wasn't a special vacation, but it was a special moment!

 

[DivineMadness7]

Ahhh, I would LOVE to be proposed to and/or honeymoon at WDW...

...now to just find a GUY..... :brick: and a guy that loves Disney as much as I do! :brick: :brick:

Maybe we were a little crazy...

Married: Septeber 13, 2001

Honeymoon: July 4 to July 16, 2002

Contemporary Resort - MK View

Honeymoon Grand Plan

What does that mean? Everything was at our disposal.

Ultimate Park Hoppers & concierge service.

ALL meals were inculding, and not little snacks. Breakfast you were allowed 2 drinks, an entree and a side. Lunch and dinner you were allowed 2 drinks, an appetizer, and entree and a dessert. AND a snack of a drink and your choice of wither an appetizer/entree/dessert. We could eat anywhere, and were offered dishes and combo dishes that were not on the recipe. We ate at Victoria and Alberts at the Chef's table on this plan. At Fulton's we were offered, and my wife accepted, a combo of king crab claws AND filet mignon.

All tours were included, so we did Keys to the Kingdom, Family Magic & Backstage Safari (A couple others were planned but were cancalled before our arrival).

All recretion and sports were included. We played 2 rounds of mini golf at Fantasia Gardens and Fantasis Fairways. We rented 2 water mice for about 2 hours and the next day got our own pontoon boat for the morning.

We each got a spa treatment at the Disney Institute.

There was so much we did outside of the parks, but we still managed 3 fulldays at the MK and 2 at Epcot, MGM and AK. (All broken up into half days of course)

ANyone want to hear more, I'll find my journal rom the trip.

A couple picutures are in my photo album.

It was the most MAGICAL trip we could have ever imagined.

We honeymooned in Charleston South Carolina and I wouldn't change a thing. Don't get me wrong. I love WDW, but a honeymoon in Charleston is awesome.

We did get to Epcot right before our second anniversary so we counted that as an anniversary trip (Marco Island for a week and to Orlando on the way home).

I do plan on popping another question to my wife during our November visit, of course that involves 40 watt bulbs. . .

I have a girlfriend that I'm PLANNING on proposing in a while. I think you'd agree that 23 is a bit too young to get married. I'm probably gonna wait 'til my late 20s or early 30s.

I'm 21, my girlfriend's 19. I've got 2 years of college left, she has 4 (double major). We've been together for 9 months now and I have to honestly say that I am going to have a hard time waiting until we get done with school. I had a couple friends get married last summer. She had just graduated, he is still in school. They just had a baby in July and they are doing great. So I think that while the trend is to get married later, it's not necessarily better or worse. It just depends on the couple. I would absolutely love to get married at WDW, but A. I don't think she'd go for it and B. I think it'd be too far away and I want to share it with all my friends and familiy and I couldn't ask them all to fly down there. I guess I'll just have to push for a honeymoon in WDW. "Ok honey, you plan the wedding (cause I guess girls have already had things planned out since they were 5), and I'll take care of the honeymoon." :animwink::king:

DivineMadness7: I'll keep you in mind in case anything were to happen....but don't hold your breath :animwink:.

DarkImage4: I'd love to hear about your honeymoon, if you're willing (not everything, of course :animwink: ). Post a new thread and put a link here. I can't wait!! I love visiting WDW vicariously!!

My husband and I got engaged in front of the America Pavillion at EPCOT back in May of 1993. He was going to ask me on the boat ride through Mexico but we ended up with a boatload of Brazilians! That kinda killed the mood for a while. Finally he just couldn't stand it any more and while we were on our way to France for desert he asked me to sit down and I knew right then what was coming!On January 29, 1994 we were married at the Grand Floridian! (This was prior to the wedding pavillion being built.) We had about 70 family and friends and most of them came a few days before the wedding just to blow off some steam with us. We had our rehersal dinner in Italy (my hubby is Italian). And we totally did a black tie wedding. We had Mickey and Minnie as a bridesmaid and groomsmen.

We stayed a few extra days ourselves for the big honeymoon! Then drove back to Ft. Lauderdale to move into our new apartment. We now have 3 girls of our own and we are hoping they will all want to have Disney Weddings too! There is absolutely nothing like it! My family still compares all weddings they go to to ours.

 

[phlydude]

Me did a long weekend in WDW after we got married (only rightly so since I proposed there too!). The real honeymoon was in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic but it was nice to get away over the holiday weekend after getting married!

I was 23 and so was my wife. We had our first child 3 years later. I think low to mid-twenties is fine. If you wait until you "have enough money" or "are in the right position in your life" to get married or have kids, then you never will. Remember, it gets a little more difficult to raise a teenager when your in your late 40's to 50's. Personal belief.

I'll agree based on my life at this time...teenagers are hard no matter what and pre teens are even worse. ( I love my kids, did I tell you that? :lol: )


Just a side note: Everytime I see this on the front page its listed as...How many of you married people... just makes me laugh. (cause I hope we all did. :lookaroun )

 

[westie]

For those of you who had the "full blown" wedding with characters and over 25 guests, just out of curiosity, how much did your parents spend?

 

[zjer]

Im Getting married on Sep 5 and leaving on the 10th to the 17th to WDW for our honeymoon. (After a Dave Matthews Concert that is)

:wave: That's a matter of opinion :lol: (I was married at 23)

It all depends on the individual couple. Some people are ready earlier than others. There is no "right" age. It's all in how you feel and what you are ready for.

 

[WDWScottieBoy]

I'm 18, girlfriend's 20. I'm asking her next year at WDW and then we'll get married I'm guessing 1-2 years after that so I'm out of school and gives those who want to go to the wedding at WDW time to save up! :sohappy:

So that'll put me at around 21 and my girlfriend at 23, I don't think that's too young at all. Nothing wrong with wanting to start a life together earlier, and then wait several years to have children. I'd rather be married younger and have some years alone and wait for children instead of being married near my 30's and feel like I need to have children soon so the two of us aren't getting too old. It's all a matter of personal choice.

 

[Lauriebar]

We got married at 19 (shotgun style:animwink: )

Scott your plan is a good one. We're just going in the opposite direction as you, we will have all of our alone time when we are in our mid forties once our kids are gone!! Either way you go, just remember...you can't plan everything!
