Today I finally made my long-overdue call to Disney to arrange priority seating for my proposal to my girlfriend on our trip in two weeks.
Disney was actually quite nice about it. Here's how it went down and what's going on for those of you curious:
I called the usual number and went through to the dinner reservation agent and told them my deal. Disney no longer offers engagement packages like they used to, FYI. But - they are more than willing to help out. My g/f has been begging to go to Cinderella's Royal Table - so that's where I planned to go. I wanted to propose early in the trip so that we could spend the trip engaged. The ealiest time in the week she had for dinner was Wednesday the 6th (we get there on the 5th). So it's not too bad.
The Disney reservationist transfered me to the Royal Table manager (Janice) who told me the drill. First of all, they put a special note in the computer about my proposal. Sometime towards the end of dinner I have to leave the table (bathroom or whatever) and slip the ring to the manager. At desert, they bring the ring over on a white platter with a top on it. On the platter is my ring and a glass slipper (purchasable for $30 as a keepsake). The waiter says something along the lines of "A special something for you, m'lady" and that's when I do whatever it is I'm going to do (I have no idea yet! To get down on a knee or not - that is the question!).
So I'm mega nervous now of course but I have no doubt it will all go down pretty well. All of this is free of charge but, like I said, only $30 if I want to purchase the slipper as a keepsake - which I will.
Anyways that's about it - I'll let you know how it goes. 2 weeks from tommorow!
