Updated 6/9: 2012 minimum expenditures are here!

[princesswendy720]

So I was on the DFTW pricing page and saw the new 2012 pricing:

Monday through Thursday: $12,000
Friday and Sunday : $15,000
Saturday: $20,000

9:00 am and 10 am ceremony times (7 days a week): $10,000

so a few changes but non that affect us. Saturday is now more expensive and the special $10,000 price goes by ceremony time and not reception time.

Me too! And if by chance we need to move to a Sunday, it's also still the same as 2011.

Yay! Thanks for posting this

Does anyone know if this applies to both WDW and DLR?

Good thing we are comfortable with the Saturday expenditure since we booked our date yesterday!

Has the minimum expenditure for Escape gone up? (if you book a catered meal through DFTW I mean? Any word?)

This is just WDW as far as I know. They don't have 2012 or 2011 prices for DLR on the Disney website.

They don't have the Escape prices for 2012 posted on the site either. Sorry! Here is where they'd be once they're updated: http://disneyweddings.disney.go.com/weddings/florida/pricing/escape/detail

Awesome so not too much of a change. I am happy and so will my fiance!

Thanks for posting! I'm still safe as we are doing a weekday ceremony at 10am! We meet the 10k requirements!

 

[princesswendy720]

They adjusted the pricing for 9 and 10 am ceremonies Friday-Sunday. The minimum is now $12,000 (It is $10K on Monday - Thursday mornings)

Whew! That's a relief! I was wondering how much the minimums would go up!

Another update..they removed the special morning pricing from the 2012 section. Only the regular Mon-Thurs, Friday & Sunday, and Saturday minimums are listed. Anyone in the know have any more info? If it's not there, I'd imagine they are no longer doing the morning discount?

ugh they're killing me. it was just there the other day.

I'd like to know as well. I was hoping for this (even though I'm budgeted to hit the regular anyway).

You're planning a 10 am one right? Do you think your consultant could clarify? I hate that they just sneak this on the website...you'd think anyone in touch with Disney would hear from them...

i'm on day 9 of waiting for an email back, so maybe there will be something in it for me. i was planning a 10am since there's just the 2 (maybe 4) of us. i dunno how much more we can do, lol.... or if i really want to "blow" 2,000 more just because. they shouldn't have put out the 2012 info before they had it nailed IMO.

Actually, there's a typo in the new prices that's being fixed: Disney did discontinue the $10,000 minimum in 2012, but you can still get a $12,000 minimum on weekend ceremonies held at 9am or 10am—those haven't gone up to the $15,000/$20,000 minimums you have the rest of the day.

Unfortunately, these discounts are all at Disney's discretion and can be pulled at any time. Wishes minimums are not guaranteed through a calendar year the way Escape package prices are—they change as demand changes.
