Hi all!

I had previously hopped on here and posted a few times (and read some threads) a few weeks ago, gearing up for my first Disney World trip! It is over now, and I wanted to share the news. (hopefully this is the right spot!)



Here's how it all went down:
I spent a good chunk of time before the trip on various websites looking at Halloween costumes. The costumes were actually for my girlfriend for our trip down to Disney World. It was my first time there, and after 5 years together, our first major trip anywhere together on vacation with just the two of us.
While down there, as I guess you all know, Disney has kick started the Halloween season by doing this "Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party" at the Magic Kingdom some nights. The park stays open very late, is decorated for Halloween, has a special parade and fireworks, and trick-or-treating for everyone.
I spent some time on here looking into MNSSHP, and I got us tickets for this.

The day after we got there, I had us take a break from our fun at the park to go back to the resort to relax for a little while. Back there, while she was away for a moment, I got out all the 'secret stuff' I had packed. When she returned, everything was laid out for her choosing.

I ended up getting two different princess costumes, deciding I'd let her pick based on her preference (or of course, if something didn't fit, there was a backup plan!)
I also came prepared with several kinds of accessories, and even safety pins, some fabric, and velcro in case some on-the-fly adjustments were needed.

I explained that normally Disney World does not allow 'dressing up' since they don't want children to be confused on who is a real character. The Halloween Party is one of the only exceptions! She was very surprised, and we both got in costume and enjoyed the night at the Magic Kingdom!

This wasn't all without a grand finale though. Having fun at Halloween wasn't the only part of the surprise. Later that night after the parade and fireworks, in front of a lit up castle, which just so happened to be exactly 5 years after we first saw each other, I asked her to marry me. Now she is a real Disney Princess, attire and all! I also had one of the photopass people there take some photos, saying that we were celebrating 5 years and I had something special to give her.

Worked out great! Hope you like the story!

Was that something special...:zipit:?:ROFLOL:

Congradulations! What a neat way to propose.

 

[Beetuna]

Ok guys, I know I'm slow. But as promised, here are some photos!

This is when everything went down... the PhotoPass person is taking some shots. :sohappy:
(Sorry, no on the knee shots... don't know why.. maybe they didn't want to move the tripod?)

(Oddly enough, when punching in our photopass cards, we noticed some pictures were out of sequence ... what's that all about? Are some missing? Anyone know?)


Anyways, here ya go!

I have tears in my eyes now...


You are a beautiful couple, that third picture is one of the greatest Disney images I've ever seen.
This was all really sweet! Hope you two live happily ever after! :sohappy:


Edit: got to ask - what was the second princess dress you had brought along?

 

[LoriMistress]

I love her costume!!! The both of you look so happy. Congrats!

 

[Beetuna]

Thanks!
The other costume was a pink princess one.. sometimes sold as a 'princess peach' costume. This one is a little more cinderella-esque. They were both short-length (but not too short) costumes.. thought it would help with the heat and maneuverability. Then I brought multiple kinds of tights and leggings and stuff. I can post a photo of the other one if you want.

 

[Lisalyn]

I'm so happy for you two!

Congratulations you two! Great photos and I send wishes to you for a long and lasting marriage! What a wonderful way to start your lives together! Magical!:sohappy:

 

[Tiggerfanatic]

Cute costumes and gorgeous ring. Congratulations!!

 

[Princess1215]

My husband wanted to propose to me at Disney World...but instead he brought Disney to me...he did a great job! Pics of my proposal are on my profile!!!

We had the most amazing honeymoon at Disney...the cast members went above and beyond to make our time magical!
