They set out a bunch of stuff and we were in ADH. We had favors and menus at each place setting plus table names, escort cards, guest book, card box, seating chart, bar menus, and our toasting flutes.
I'm in NJ and my wedding was a few days after Sandy...storm hit Monday and we left for Florida on Thursday. Luckily our flight scheduled for Thursday morning was one if the first outbound flights to make it out of NJ. My parents were driving and had to leave a few days earlier and got out of NJ...
You are allowed in the lobby if BoG for the bridal portraits but they won't let you in the ballroom anymore. I believe they were allowing it right when it opened but got in trouble because they were afraid the tables and chairs might get damaged. We just had our photos done in May and got a...
It's not allowed but people sneak in and benefit from not every CM knowing the rules. If this was on Monday we saw them too. Makes me upset seeing as how we paid $1,500 to have our pictures taken there the very next day in wedding attire.
Yes you have to pay for a guide to escort your photographer. I have read it is $95 for 4 hours but there was some confusion about that definitely being the final price
The move fee is when you have a higher guest count and want to put the large rounds on the first or 2nd floor (not the dance floor). We only had 45 people so everyone fit on the dance floor and there were no move fees (we didn't use the cocktail tables). I think I've seen as many as 8 rounds on...
I think you just posted your budget in that thread, if so, your $500 venue fee is split on the BEO as $200 for marquee and $300 for event guides. They aren't in addition to the venue fee.
We just had our reception at ADH and only had the venue fee (which covered an event guide and the marquee). They change things all the time, so it's possible this has already changed though!
You can schedule a site visit with a sales consultant if you are within a certain time frame (I think 16 months now for wishes? Not sure). You would call and give someone your info then a consultant will call you back to set it up. I believe they only do them M-F. You won't be assigned a wedding...
I'm struggling with this too. We got married 11/4 and were supposed to fly back down next weekend for the shoot. Then we bought a house after we got married so we are now waiting to close. I booked the flights with miles so moved them to May and we'll be going back down for 6 days before our APs...
This is correct. The room block is different than the minimum stay requirement. You don't have to do a room block, but you'll have to guarantee a minimum number of nights in a Disney hotel (as PP mentioned, DVC reservations count).
No if you have an outside photographer you will not have a Disney photographer at the wedding as well. You can get a resort photo session or dessert party photography.
As PP mentioned, I got married this past November and MK shoots were blacked out. Even if the park isn't decorated for Christmas yet (that is only the first week of November that it wouldn't be...they go up before the first MVMCP) the castle won't be bare as they put up the icicle lights earlier...
