Ceremony at Animal Kingdom?

[MadamMim]

Ok, I know it's weird. And I know I'm not getting married any time soon (gotta find a willing victim, er, fiance first ). But I was sitting here and avoiding some research I should be doing about the Imperial Roman Army by wondering if anybody has ever heard of a wedding at Animal Kingdom. Personally I think Asia would be especially cool. And it's not like you'd disturb the animals or anything, I mean, they've got tours that run through there so... is it just something not many people think of? I'll stop writing now and do some work.

I haven't ever heard of anyone getting married at Animal Kingdom it would be nice if you wanted to do it during the day b/c they close earlier than the other parks.

I know you can do it in EPCOT and MK(MK-for a HIGH price), but I have never heard of AK.

A couple of years ago there were rumors that Disney was looking at several other new locations for wedding ceremonies. One of them was AK (or perhaps more specifically at AKL).

I never heard anything after that so I don't know if it's still a consideration or not.

You never know what Disney may do in coming years...especially with the new AK Villas.

You know, there's always faith, hope, and pixie dust!

Yes, you can get married at animal kingdom. They have a special patio for this very thing. The Disney food network special actually featured a couple getting married at AKL.

I think DISer Skylarr is having her reception inside AK - or at least she was planning to at one point...

Yes, our rehearsal dinner is inside Animal Kingdom. I am not sure about an actual wedding but if we can have our rehearsal dinner there, I don't see how that would be any different.

The location we were offered is called the Tamu Tamu courtyard with a back up location of pizzafari if the weather is bad. We are going to have a 'mix - in' on the last safari of the day and then head over for dinner. So far, all I know is it is $13.50 per person to ride the safari and we have to have a buffet at this location. I think maximum number of guests is 50.
