DIsney wedding 'live' webcams?

[Malibelle]

Does anyone know if having a live webcam during your wedding is possible? My grandmom can't attend due to health reasons and I thought this may be a way she can watch. I am already feeling the guilt of having it in Disney because this is the one wedding she didn't want to miss. I really hope I can do something like this so she can be there too.

I don't know about this but my brother was unable to attend my wedding due to being deployed to Iraq so a family member called him so that he could hear things over the phone. I don't know how well it worked though. It would be nice if you could work something out.

We did the same thing as RangerPooh...

My mom couldn't be at our wedding either, so just before we really got started, I called her on my cell phone and she was able to hear the whole thing.

If you have a guest manning the webcam, my guess is that Disney won't mind...but you should ask your EM to be sure.

I had a few guests that couldn't come and they did the phone thing also...my uncle went so far as to take camera phone pics and forward them repeatedly to my aunt. However, at my brother's wedding in Taiwan, he somehow set up a website and used a camera to do a webcam of the wedding. It temporarily crashed because of too many people accessing (only about 12 of about 400 friends/family went over to Taiwan), but once most of them logged off, it was okay and worked. I don't know exactly what he did, but I can ask if you like...I also don't know if disney can do it...you might ask them...

i would email or call your videographer or your em at disney.

i know you can buy a webcam & if you have a labtop computer at the site & a computer at your grandmas you can definetly view the wedding live. another option is getting her a copy of your wedding video & watching it afterwards or call her from cell at the wedding so she can listen.

I would be interested to know this also. As i am from the UK quite a few of my close family and friends couldn't make the wedding. This would be a really special way of them seeing the wedding.

Well I emailed my em about this. Apparently WYFI is not available at the wedding pavilion nor is a land line internet hook up. I still have a question in to him because we do not need to use WYFI, we have an Aircard which uses celluar phone lines to dial in, its not the same as WYFI and I had to explain that to my em that they are two different things and I don't think they realize this. I am just waiting for him to get back to me to tell if disney will allow this dispite if it works or not. We have used it down in the Disney area before.
