Bride in mk!

[wendyiam]

I just saw such a beautiful bride in the magic kingdom! I was shocked they let her in in her gown but she said the had lost their luggage and she had been wearing it since yesterday! The groom was even wearing a suit! It's a million degrees outside but they looked awesome! Anyway, if that bride was one of you guys good for you for getting in! Congrats!

Hmm, that sounds kind of off to me. Maybe it is just me but if I lost my luggage I'd probably buy an outfit in the gift shop rather than wear my wedding dress around for a few days? Maybe it was an excuse to get into the parks in a wedding dress? I'm surprised they allowed it.

I was thinking the same thing! While I 'd my wedding dress, it wasn't the most comfortable thing after a number of hours, not to mention I wasn't even in the heat of FL in July.

Yeah, that definitely sounds a bit dodgy! Wouldn't you just put back on your travelling clothes if you had nothing else at all to wear, rather than a wedding dress two days straight? Hmmmm

this sounds weeeeird to me. I used to work at Disney, granted it was just an internship but we were told that if someones luggage was lost that we could most certainly buy each person an outift to get them through until their luggage arrived. ESPECIALLY if 'all they had' was their wedding dress and suit or tux?

IDK if I'm fallin' for that excuse lol but all the more power to them!

Weird since they don't allow one to simply walk around any Disney park in their wedding dress without a Disney escort.

This is second time someone has seen something like this. (Someone posted a picture a while back, too.) I wonder if Disney is relaxing the rules on this sort of thing?

I'm not a DFTW bride but I do think that a big part of the allure of doing a DFTW is getting to have a park shoot. If they are letting just anyone roam around the park in a dress that really isn't fair to DFTW brides who are having to pay over $1,000 for a photo shoot in the park. Shame on Disney for allowing that, they are only hurting their DFTW business. As word starts getting out about brides being "allowed" to wear dresses in the park more and more people will start trying to do it.

I did have a friend that forgot to pack her pants for the morning after her wedding and ended up having to wear her wedding dress to breakfast the next morning but it was only an overnight thing and she wasn't in Disney.

Well I asked my fellow cast members around me after they had left and they didn't seem to understand it was against the rules. Their response was "Why is it against the rules?" We are just merch mind you, i wouldn't know the rule if i wasn't getting married. Not really our department. I wonder if she just got past a newbie at the entrance...

This could very well be another reason, that the CM's simply don't know that wedding attire is not allowed. Unless the couple is seen by someone who knows that rule, they would be just fine.

Quite frankly, I'm a little jealous. I think it would have been fun to walk through MK in my dress for a bit. Go on a few rides, get lots of congratulations... I bet you could get some really cute photos, too.

Does anyone know what constitutes a "wedding dress" per say? I am getting married next summer at Shades of Green, and we wanted to do dinner at Epcot after the ceremony. My dress is going to more of a cocktail dress, it's ivory and shorter. There we will no tux's involved, as it more of beach wedding vibe. I'm wondering if they would stop us from entering for our dinner???? Any thoughts??

Just wanted to share what my planner told me about one of her brides. After the wedding she actually cut her white gown so it was shorter, and went into the parks. This was at Disneyland but my planner told me the rules across the parks are the same - no wedding attire inside the park during normal hours. So it sounds like a shorter dress, that doesn't really look like a wedding dress, is perfectly okay in the parks.
