Hi guys 
Your pictures are all wonderful, you guys are so lucky. My fiancé proposed in Cinderella Castle last March, and we would love to get married at DW. I was looking at the website, and I know that you can have your ceremony at the resorts, but I'm wondering where else you can get married and how much it costs. I know that Cinderella Castle is a minimum of 50k, isnt it? Im not sure how to even find out that stuff. Wed love to get married on Pirates of the Caribbean, but Im not sure how well that would go over with our parents 
. Thank you for the help, and I swear Ive been searching the website myself for the info because I know it has had to come up loads of times.
Here is our story
Last January, John and I decided to spend our spring break together in Florida so that I could meet his dad. Fortunately for us, his dad lives near Orlando so we got a seven-day pass to Disney World. We had been dating for about a year at this point, and John had been hinting about popping the question. I was getting pretty excited about it, I think too excited because a month or so before the trip John had told me that he wouldnt be able to propose until at least midsummer. He is a very silly boy because I would have said yes without ever getting a ring (even though it is quite pretty now that I have it ^_^). Anyway, it was snowing in Chicago on the day I left. When I walked out of the Orlando airport, I felt like I was entering a completely different world. I had never seen real palm trees before and the weather was . . . hot. I loved it. It was the perfect beginning to a truly magical week.
John had surprised me months earlier with a reservation for dinner at Cinderella Castle. I was so excited that I couldn't stop talking about it, dreaming about it, and I had picked out the perfect outfit to wear. I had insisted that we dress up. You just dont go to the castle in shorts, right? The first day that we were in Disney we went to Epcot center. I was like a little kid bouncing around, especially when I saw the Castle from the monorail. Did I mention that I'd never been to Disney before?
The next day, we went to the Magic Kingdom. It was amazing to say the least. I got my picture taken with Stitch, AND I got my trademark stitch hat . It was awesome, yadda yadda yadda, but finally it was time to go to the castle. I had waited so long, staring at the castle from afar, that when we were admitted into the anteroom only to see about twenty families in shorts . . . I was a little surprised. I didnt let on though, because I was still enamored with the suit of armor and the Queen and Kings throne. John seemed a little put out about it too, but he was still smiling. He managed to scoop up one of the smaller thrones for me, and he sat next to me on a bench. We decided to wait to take pictures until the waiting room cleared out a bit. He kept an eye out and when the throne was available he led me by the arm to it, sat me down, and got down on one knee in front of me. I cant really remember what he said, but I know he told me how much he loved me and that I was his princess. He pulled a sparkling tiara out of his bag and placed it on my head. Then, to my surprise, he took out a shining glass slipper and slid it on my foot . He sat next to me on the throne and I was completely speechless. Ill be honest and say that the thought that he hadnt proposed crossed my mind, but I was thinking that he might have done all of this to make up for the fact that he wasnt going to propose yet. A little girl walked by and asked her mother if I was a real princess. I certainly felt like one thanks to my prince.
When our name was called we walked upstairs to be seated and to my amazement, John had arranged it so that we sat in front of the beautiful bay windows , in the center of the restaurant. The area below had already been cleared out in preparation for the fireworks, giving us a perfect view of the park. It was absolutely beautiful. John had also arranged a three-course meal of anything we wanted so we were able to pick out everything right then (except for dessert ^_^). While we were eating dinner the fireworks show began. I felt like it was our own private show. We couldnt see another soul in front of us, and it was just . . so . . perfect. After an amazing dinner of soup and steak and I cant even remember what else John mentioned that we should probably order desert and take it home with us since we were both so full. I kinda looked at him funny, but agreed grudgingly ^^. A few minutes later the waitress (Lady Krisz) came to our table with a glass slipper on a porcelain dish. It took me a minute to realize what was happening John got on one knee and this time he asked me to marry him . I of course yelled yes, and John said later that I answered before he was done asking the question! Lady Krisz grabbed our camera (which of course just happened to be on the edge of the table) and took photos of us. John was so nervous that he almost forgot to put the ring on my finger. The ring was nestled in the glass shoe with a white rosebud and surrounded by rose petals. It was wonderful. It was perfect. It was the best night of my life. We had an alcohol-free Champaign toast , and we were treated like royalty. Ive never been so happy.. We were served chocolate slippers with chocolate mouse and raspberries for dessert and Will you marry me? was written in chocolate on my plate. We received a certificate and a special pin with Mickey proposing to Minnie. We also were given Cinderellas Royal Table Champaign glasses. As we were leaving, we shared a dance in the now empty anteroom and took our first step into our "happily ever after" together.
Waaaah, I can't post any pictures
