Yeah...Edgehopper, I definitely agree, that's a great way to propose. It makes me all excited and anxious to get this ball rolling!
The girl I spoke to when I called Disney Floral & Gifts wanted me to do all 3 things. I'm not made of money!!! I'm trying to keep this under-budget! I'm already spending like $3,300 between room,tix,flight, and dining plan..don't get me started on the ring lol. I didn't save up THAT much!
Now..about that ring:
I went today with my grandmother (who was a jeweler for 30yrs) to the jeweler over by me on Long Island, NY. Her and my mother gave some gold jewelry they were kind enough to part with, in order for me to sell..and a few diamonds also. Luckily, I don't have to spend that much out of pocket in order to get a ring.
The design I chose...which they're doing fully custom, I'm gonna jump onto Microsoft Paint lol and see if I can draw this up....wish me luck. I'll post a photo of my drawing and a photo of the ring ASAP.

Okay, here's the design. I got 5 diamonds from my mother, 2 much smaller than the other 3. I decided to have it mounted in a triple cluster, with 6 prongs for safety lol, in 14k white gold. They're high mounted so they stand up...from afar, it should look like one big diamond. And with 2 smaller diamonds on prongs on the sides. Total carat weight comes to around 1.3 carats of diamonds total.

make sure you have the ring made to her size, or pretty close to it!
My DF proposed in punta cana (on the back porch of the hotel room, and it was perfect, because i too don't like standing out in public) The ring was a size too big and though I wore it the whole week, i had rigged up a hair elastic to wrap around my finger and the ring so it wouldn't fall off(especially in the pool!)
He had time to get down on one knee. we were on back porch and he asked me to check something in the room, or get a water or something from inside so i walked away from him and when i came back he was on one knee.
It all sounds fabulous, my only thought is: propose as early as possible so she can wear the ring all week and you can really enjoy the "just engaged" feeling for your entire vacation!! I say propose on the first day if you can! Disney can probably help you make it magical however you choose to do it, as long as you plan a little bit in advance.
Have a great time and good luck!
