Cinderella's Coach

[140905]

If you are having cinderella's coach and your ceremony is at the wedding pavilion is there a specific place that you have to go from? - It's just everytime I have viewed a wedding with the bride in the coach they seem to get picked up from the Grand Floridian.

I believe you start your ride at the Gf and (as far as i can tell) go a pretty short distance to the WP. Some will correct me if i'm wrong.

I'm not sure how long it takes. I'm interested in knowing this myself. i'm so tempted to do this but $2500 is a lot for what im guessing cant be more than 15 minute ride.

I saw they have another option of a couch with i think one pony. Does anyone know if this is the same Cinderella coach or a different one?

Thanks for your response to my question, as for yours, it is a different coach to the Cinderella one, i think it's called a Landau Coach and it's $1,500 - it's a really pretty open-air horse drawn coach.

I know what you mean about the Cinderella Coach being expensive I put it out of my mind 'cos we are on a tight budget but about 2 weeks ago my mum & dad surprised me and my fiance by saying they would pay for it for us as they knew how much I wanted it.

You are soooo lucky, i really want the coach but can't justify $2,500 to myself or my budget.

i can answer your question. in the early stages of planning our wedding, we wanted the coach. we got the video that has the prices for everything (floral, transportation, etc.) in the price list, they didn't list how long could you have the coach for. i asked and it's only available for 90 minutes. i said no to it because i would personally want it longer and two, the coach can't take us to our reception at the atlantic dance hall. i hope this helps pete.

90 minutes, eh?

I'd pay 833.33 for 30 minutes....

We had the coach for our November wedding. It was such an experience and worth every penny. Did I wish we had more time in the coach - of course. But your day rushes by - and you honestly don't have more time to ride in the coach. Also, I think there is 1 coach - and the ceremonies are every 2 1/2 hours - so they need to make it available for every couple.

But honestly - you really don't have time for more than the ride from the GF, the ride around the Parking Lot - and if you're lucky, the ride back to the GF.

Our ceremony was pretty long - and we had wanted to get to the BW in time to catch the end of our Cocktail Hour (where our EM had some surprises waiting) so she begged us not to take the last ride - or we would have missed it.

I swear - time stops in that coach. You will remember a few minutes for a lifetime.

Good luck!

I just tried testing a new siggie - and it didn't work - sorry!

I had the coach in our March ceremony and it was worht every penny i agree......................As we were takeing pictures in the GF i saw the coach out the window coming aroung the corer and got teary eyed. This makes your fantasy more real...........it went from the GF to the pavilion, paviliona around the parking lot til everyone left and then back to GF.

If you can afford to do it you will be happy that you did............i almost cut this to dave money but it was well well worth it.

I really wanted the coach and it was within our budget but had a hard time justifying it in my mind. I decided not to get it when I read that you had to pay the $2500 even if it rains and you can't use it. I don't know if they still have that policy. You might want to check into that.
