Franck's

[ironz]

Is Franck's open to anyone who happens to go over to GF and check it out? Or is it by appt only?

I have a quick trip to WDW planned before my at-home wedding (with Disney touches) and was thinking of popping over there to see if there is anything I "need" for my wedding.

thanks!

They are open weeks days. We were able to browse inside once on a visit, so if they are in there you can peek around. Our experience was that there wasn't anyone who was there to answer questions or sell you stuff. It was obvious there were planning sessions going on. We got married when Franck's was remodeling so we didn't use it. You might luck out but I had the impression it was really a location for planning sessions than a boutique. I'm not looking anymore but it seemed like the items in sale there could all be found online.

The planners offices are actually in celebration, FL so there won't probably be anyone hanging around to answer questions but I'm sure you can go in and look at the displays.

As the others have said it is only a show office for planning sessions. You can look around but it isn't a shop so you wouldn't be able to buy anything.

Thanks for the info. I'll just wing it, then. If I have free time and end up near GF, I'll wander over, but won't make it a priority.

Just have wedding-on-the-brain: 83 days to go!

I just went by and they let me see everything that was not in use at the time for a wedding.

We just had our planning session on 09/08/14 at Franck's. While the experience was kind of cool...it's mostly just the actual wedding planning that was most exciting for me. I honestly expected more from Franck's, based on everything I'd heard about it. Some of the displays were REALLY pretty...but it's just typical wedding displays. For example, they have a wedding dress on a mannequin, a cardboard wedding cake display, and then a sample table display (but, I'll admit, with a SUPER pretty overlay that I wanted so badly but knew I could never afford).

So, I'd say if you really want to go over? Sure. That said...you're not missing a ton by not. I certainly wouldn't sacrifice any of your time in the park for it. Unless you're planning...it's sort of underwhelming. AND, especially if you're looking for "Disney" touches for your own wedding at home...there is nothing especially "Disney" laying around. It's very traditional wedding stuff.
