See about booking a meal where Goofy will be .You will need to call the restraunts and ask when and if Goofy will be there.Also need to buy her a goofy hat t-shirt and earrings

Are you doing your Vow renewals w/ Disney? You can rent a Character if you are, so you could rent Goofy but that might break the bank

Make sure you have the Anniversary buttons Disney gives out and wear them EVERYDAY you are there! We did it and it made our trip 10x more magical (everyone tells you Happy Anniversary and asks how many years, we got free Champagne at Brown Derby, skipped lines, got certificates etc...)

Make sure to mention your Anniversary when making Every ADR.

If you are eating at Any Grand Floridian restaurants or at the castle order her the Cinderella Slipper Dessert. I think you need to do it at least 24 hours ahead. You can also order the Mini Castle Cake or the Mini Wedding cake.

Write a card for everyday of the trip telling her something you love about her, why you love her, why you love being married to her etc. And give it to her every morning or hide it somewhere new each day. In the sink, shower, slip it to her with her fast pass, tuck it in her purse, give it to a waiter to give to her etc....

Mention your anniversary when you check in. We got Balloons and a card from Mickey and Minnie.

Stand up on something in the parks and proclaim your love for her. Silly but awfully sweet.

Repropose in front of the castle. Ask her if after 25 years she would still marry you.

Buy the Bride and Groom Mickey ears and surprise her by wearing yours with no complaint!

If you call the Coral Reef directly, speak with the Manager about dining there for your 25th anniversary. Ask about surprising your wife by having the diver carry a sign from you to your wife. I surprised my DH with this for our 25th and it was perfect. They sat us at a table right at the window so the diver could come right up to us. They also made us personalized menus but I am not sure if that is still offered. Happy Anniversary!!

 

[Disney25th]

WOW, lots of great ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you all so much....I want to make a trip she will NEVER forget.....I have some health problems & I am only 55 so if I am not around for the 26 this one she won;t for get...

Thanks & keep the ideas coming.........&if I may a Speical THANK YOU to our freinds In Ill.

What a thoughful and romantic husband you are!
Can you give my DH some pointers?

Have a very Happy Anniversary! May God Bless you with many many more years together and may they be happy and healthy.

Wow! So many great ideas already! One thing we have done in the past was a "private dining event" at the Grand Floridian. It was to celebrate DH birthday. It was done in the "alcove" outside by the boat dock (sort of ) We met a private server in the lobby and she led us to our private table outside (decorated etc) We had dinner and castle cake for dessert. It would have been a perfect view of Wishes from that location but we had the Wishes cruise after! We ordered coffee and chocolate covered strawberries for the cruise. ( I see you are doing the slipper) . Maybe a private dinner before the cruise would be something to add. We did have our two kids with us so it was four people at the table.

Enjoy your Anniversary!

Wow! This whole thread brought tears to my eyes. What a lucky wife you have!! Congrats on your 25th Anniversary. Disney is magical by itself, but with being with people you love makes it even more magical. Have fun!

 

[pjm-guy]

Since your staying at the GF, how about something as simple as a 1/2 day at the Grand Floridian Spa? Massage/pedicure/etc......

 

[thebeesknees]

May I just say that any one of the things you've planned would put me over the moon, but all of them? Wow! Your wife is going to be thrilled. I wish you many more years of happiness together!

I think I am insulted. I have come up with so many ways to spend your money and now you decided to go elsewhere for advice. HOW RUDE!!!

I suppose we could take in some more advice but I guarantee you you will not be going home with any money.

We can not wait to suprise Aunt Bonniya. We are looking forward to our week with you. The wedding is going to be beautiful and all of the suprises are going to blow her away.

Congratulations on your anniversary and Thank You for including us!!!

Your FAITHFUL party planner

I have an idea that we did and it was worth every penny.

A photoshoot in epcot. Its done early in the morning with no one around. I surprised my husband with it two fridays ago and he hasn't stopped talking about it since. It was pricey-310.00 but in my mind, the perfect honeymoon memory. He made me promis we would do it on our 10 year and 25 year anniversary....a way to show each time in our lives.

You can choose two pavillions so if tehre are any of her favorites itsperfect.

I would do what i did. Head over to the boardwalk by 630 and grab breakfast at the boardwalk bakery. Have her guessing as to what you will be doing. Then (make the appt for 730- you have to meet your photog at the international gateway on the boardwalk to epcot) and walk her over.

It really was an amazing surprise. If you would like to ask my husband his sn is steamboatvinnie...

have fun!

I was just sitting here thinking about our 25th wedding anniversy last Sept & thought I never told all our friends how it went.
in 1 word AWESOME.

I will need about a hour to type everything that happened & how surprised my wife was when she saw our dear friends from Chicago there for us....To the Vow renewal,the flowers,the night at Bay lake..Ect...So

If you are notgoing to be bored with this I will put up the full report

We went to WDW for out Honeymoon and I'm a Goofy fan also. After 4 days of being there, we didn't see Goofy and I was getting upset about it. So we were at the EMH at MK and I had no idea that my husband talked to guest services and asked if Goofy was going to be in the park that night. He told them that we were on our Honeymoon and I wanted to see Goofy. So they told him to have me come around the castle next to the rose garden at a special time and Goofy was waiting for me. Normally with character out a line forms, but they wouldn't let anyone line up for pictures till I had my time with him. I was crying to think my new husband did something to make our honeymoon extra special.

For our 25th last year, my DH suprised me by "upgrading" my 1/2 carat engagement ring with a 2 carat sparkler. We went on a cruise and he was so nervous carrying the ring on the flight to Florida that he had to give it to me as soon as we were in our suite on the ship. I didn't even have his gift wrapped yet at that point.
