Escape Weddings..9 months before Wedding Date

[Mommy2TwoMickeys]

I know at 9 months before estimated wedding date you can start working with a wedding planner and at 8 months before you can "book" your wedding. We are at the 9 month mark and emailed DFTW and am waiting to hear back from a planner. What information/details will I get a 9 months before? Estimated Cost of Wedding,etc.

You won't hear from a planner. A sales consultant will call you and record your choice of date/time/venue. You give them your top four choices. You will find out at 8 months which of your choices you got. You will then get mailed a contract which you send back with your deposit. You will hear from your planner shortly after that.

You can go to the Disney wedding website for approximate pricing while you're waiting to price it out roughly. Just remember that that is a baseline. Any thing you add (extra flowers, video, extra photography/photoshoots) will increase the cost of the wedding so it's hard to get an approximate cost until you submit your information to your planner. She will send you a BEO which will have the cost. You can then adjust it accordingly

At 9 months you'll find out if any other brides have already booked your preferred venue and time or if any are interested in it.

How does Disney determine which bride gets priority for booking?

Wishes brides get first pick. If 2 or more Escape brides want the same thing they do a lottery to see who gets it.

If you are planning on doing a Dessert Party, it is good to let your sales consultant know this too at the 9 month point.
