It really was so much fun and I wouldn't go back and change a thing!

So, I'm probably going to totally regret this but...
my DH and I did this at WDW back in 2010.
We had special shirts made with our role in the wedding (bride, groom, maid of honor, officiant, etc) made and we paid for everyone's entrance. My husband-to-be wore the top hat with mickey ears and I wore the Minnie veil ears. We waited right in front of the Cinderella's Castle while the show was going on and then the minute it ended and the crowd dispersed we rushed to the front and got married.
I was so wrapped up in the moment I didn't realize a huge crowd (200+) had formed a semi circle around unless until after we said "I do" and they all clapped and cheered.
Also, there were several Diney employees (suits) that came over to congratulate us. They did not mind at all because they called in a few photgraphers and had us re enact some of the key moments, like the kiss, for promotional photos. Everyone in our party had to sign releases that they could use our photos for commercial purposes. They gave us that photopass card with all of the pictures (50+) for free.
So, I have no idea if this thing would be okay now, but Disney sure didn't mind back then.

All good vibes from me!
Wish I had been there to see it!
Now if you had been wearing a Goofy Hat and had been hitting the groom with a pink umbrella, I don't think I could support it....
or if your wedding party of 50 had started clapping and chanting down Main Street....that's another story....![]()

Maybe because there are posted rules about the things you mention, but nothing about "unauthorized weddings"?You also can't go into the parks in wedding attire or costumes. Which isn't to say it doesn't happen, because I've seen it. Not every CM is versed in all the rules nor will every CM enforce them. Just because you can get away with something, doesn't mean you should.
There are at least some couples who wanted quick Disney weddings who called the Disney Fairytale Weddings department and asked. (This comes up every now and then on the wedding board.) They were told it is against the rules. There are couples who would have loved a castle wedding, but chose to work within the system.
As I said, maybe I'm a spoil sport. But I don't see how this is different than pool hopping, pop refills (when you could get away with it), or making a free salad from the hamburger toppings.
"Enter if you must, into the Twilight Zone"...perfect for wedding vows lolHow about a wedding on the Tower of Terror? "I dooooooooooooooooooooooooo" "Me tooooooooooooooooooooo"
during F&W...crowds will be big enough that no one will notice an "event" going on, lol. Matter of fact they will just be happy you aren't in line for the goodiesNext year dh and I will be celebrating 20 years and I would love to go to F&W to celebrate. Maybe a quick vowel renew in front of the Torii Gate in Japan could be arranged![]()

just keep stressing the food and wine part, lolIf dh was on board I would totally do it! Its getting him to WDW again that is going to be the hard part.
