The 2 places that offered horse carriage ride are Fort wilderness and POR, so you could to dinner at Wilderness Lodge at Artisit point, then take the boat over to Fort Wilderness and have the carriage ride......
Now I wish my husband would do that.

The Grand Floridian does horse drawn carriages for the wedding cermonies at the Wedding Pavilion, so I don't see why they wouldn't do it for a marriage proposal. You could dine at Victoria & Albert's (very fancy) or Narcoosee's (not as fancy, but very nice and right on the water), then take the carriage ride. I would check with the GF concierge desk to see if this is possible. Great idea by you--good luck!!

More expensive, but romantic, would be a MK fireworks cruise. Propose during or right before the fireworks.

We took the carriage ride from Fort Wilderness last Nov. We were celebrating our 25th anniv. We went after dark , the driver lit the lanterns on the carriage and took us on a very romantic ride. It was not expensive, about 30$, plus a tip. I loved it!

Call 407-WDW-PLAY for specialty cruise reservations. I think they do the carriage rides too.

I second the suggestion of dinner at Artiste Point at the WL. Then how about one of these:

At night the bear face was plain to see--really cool!!!" (Dale and May Furukawa)

So sweet. You got some good suggestions. I loved Artist's Pointe, but always wanted to go to Victoria and Albert's. I'm sure any way you choose your gf will remember!!
