Belle and her Prince's Animal Kingdom PJ! Engagement photos!!!

[April Elizabeth]

Just joining in. I love your dress! It looks beautiful on you!

Yes that's exactly it! Our plans have changed soooo many times, and I think we've finally got it set but we haven't sent in the deposit or done our LOA yet. We have a "tenative hold" on the date, and have gotten a guess-timate on the cost of it all.

 

[Belle2Be]

Alright! I'm doing it! Here it goes, the FINAL plan!!!


We all meet at Animal Kingdom, and the guests take a ride on the Safari!
From there, everyone walks to Tamu Tamu(or possibly Flame Tree Garden) for a pre-Ceremony reception with cheese platters and such, to wait for the park to get cleared out! My FMIL is gifting us with an Animal Encounter at that point as well!

The ceremony will be at Expedition Everest, Base camp!

I'm so excited
Following the ceremony, we'll all walk back to Tamu Tamu for a 3 hour reception,

And thats it!
Now there are some budget issues, so we wont be having a few things, centerpieces are likely out, as is real floral (which is fine by us). We're just going to have a friend or family member use my DSLR and get some pics, since for the 3-4 k it would cost for their photographer I could get a couple amazing lenses and external flash. We are also having a couple characters and the menu looks sooo yummy!
We had to move the date a few times, and now since we're waiting to find out if the dining plan is going to happen next fiscal year, we might move it again! But its ok. I'm not stressing about it LOL!

So what do you think?

Sounds very cool I'm sure your guests will love it! Is there a seperate charge for your ceremony location? I've only ever seen pricing for it as a reception location.

I've only ever seen it as a reception as well, I'm pretty sure it's the first time it's been done! There is a separate charge

Just read all of your PJ and I love the AK wedding! So unique and the pictures look like it's going to be gorgeous! Very cool that the guests get to go on the safari and everything!

I love the AA Disney gowns! Jealous that you got to try all of them on. I already found my dress, so my mom forbade me from trying on any others lol!

Can't wait to see the rest of your plans

I linked her to the dress on Alfred Angelo, and she did the rest! Took her about 2 days!

What nice photos. The shots in Central Park are so pretty. I love Central Park and walk there pretty often on my lunch break. What a cute idea to have shots taken at Magnolias. Hope you had a cupcake or two (or in my case five). Looking forward to seeing how your wedding turns out since I have not seen a wedding at those AK locations yet.

 

[Belle2Be]

Thanks! How lucky you get to walk there all the time, it's so unique!
I'm pretty excited to see how the wedding turns out myself!

Your engagement photos are beautiful! And your plans for your ceremony and reception in AK sound amazing!

 

[DisneyBride1207]

any more info about AK wedding ceremony?? I'm dying to know! This COULD change our ceremony location I've been dying to have something involving AK as I'm not 'too' thrilled with SBP!!! I'd love to hear more!!

Great plans so far and your dress is beautiful! I'm not a huge fan of the disney dresses but I have always loved the way the belle one looked. Your AK wedding/reception looks like a beautiful location too. Can't wait to hear more!

We're having our reception at Tamu Tamu (or Tusker House) and I can't wait to hear more about the details of your wedding!!

Congratulations and you look lovely in your dress!
