Has anybody celebrated their anniversary at WDW?

[Juligan]

What did you do special? Did you do anything to attract attention to the fact that it was your anniversary?

We did celebrate our anniversary on recent trip. I did mention it when I made our diner resv at 'Ohana. I was quite surprised when our server brought out a giant cupcake with a single lit candle. It was a little bit of magic for us.

Like at Donald's Breakfast on DH's birthday - He wore birthday button for guest services. Server annouced to entire dining room it was his birthday. He had to stand up and everyone sang happy birthday to him and he took a bow. He got a signed birthday card from Mickey, Donald, and the gang.
We had lots of little bits of magic on this trip.

We will be celebrating our 35th Wedding Anniversary on our Nov trip. I did order matching T shirts with Mickey and Minnie as a Bridal couple.

We did our 31st anniversary at WDW this past May. We arrived on the 18th [our anniversary] and got special congratulations buttons from customer services in town hall at MK. We then headed over to Tony's Town Square for our anniversary dinner. Thirty one years ago on our honeymoon we had our first Disney meal in the restaurant that was at this location at that time.
I had our anniversry noted when I made our PS so when our server came to seat us after we checked in we were greeted with "Happy Anniversary". When we were seated we found our table covered with Mickey confetti and we got a nice anniversary desert to share after we finished our meal. We wore the buttons we got from town hall almost all the time we were there and had many people, both CMs and other guests, congratulated us not even knowing what we were celebrating. It was a lot of fun.

Hi Nanajo1,
My friend from work is celebrating her 50th Anniv this October with her children and grandchildren. My DH and I will be there part of the time, not on purpose-just worked out that way. I would love to give her shirts like that with the champagne we are getting for them. Would you please let me know where you ordered them?
thanks.

PS My DH and I are celebrating 35 yrs in 2007 and are thinking of having a vow renewal at WDW with our family.

Hubby and I will be celebrating our 18th anniversary at Disney in September, I will be sure to note it on our PS as well. Nice to know that they notice things like that.

I got the shirts from www.disneydirect.com in the adult fashion sections tops. It was called create your own- personalized shirt. The art work I used was 015.
BTW there is a great report by Janet2k and her vow renewal.
Good luck.

 

[maureenmac]

Thank you very much. I will order them.

About three years ago, my DW and I celebrated our anniversary at AKL without children. The concierge knew and there was a little cake in our room for us.

While we couldn't be there on our actual anniversary, we did celebrate our first anniversary at WDW (it was our gift to each other that year). We went on a couple of weeks after our anniversary. We couldn't do it on our anniversary itself because we had to be there later for my aunt & uncle's vow renewal down at the World. We had Mickey & Minnie bride and groom hats that we got for our wedding and forgot to take on our honeymoon (vow renewal aunt & uncle bought it for us) and wore it for our anniversary in WDW. We dressed up in a white dress and black suit (along with our hats) and enjoyed a nice dinner at CRT. We didn't attempt to deceive any CMs, they all asked when we got married, and we told them we got married June 24th the year before. But they still treated us as though we JUST got married moments before. Our resort (CSR) upgraded us to a preferred room for free and CRT gav us a free dessert and champagne glasses and all wished us a happy anniversary. We plan on renewing our vows at WDW for our 10th anniversary (we just celebrated 5 years).

We are planning an anniversary trip next year Sept 29-Oct 4. We cant be there on our actual anniversary(Nov.5) though, so since I got flamed here at the Dis for having our kids birthdays there when it wasnt their actual birthday(the trip was their gift), we wont do anything to draw attention to the fact.

Our 10th anniversary is 7/22. DH will be in Japan on a business trip, but we are taking an anniversaty cruise (land/sea) in Aug. It just seemed fitting, since we went to WDW on our honeymoon (and every year since then)

Don't pay any attention to the DIS people who feel the need to down anyone because they want to celebrate a happy occasion. They're not worth worrying about. If Disneyland can celebrate it's birthday for 18 months and start the celebration 2 months before it's actual birthday, then you can celebrate your special days ANY day you want!!! Forget the DIS party-poopers, celebrate your day that way YOU want...not how someone else wants you to celebrate. You want this to be a memory for you...so celebrate in a way where you won't have any regrets or wishful hindsight.

I checked at Disneydirect and it takes 14 weeks. That is the week we will be in WDW. Does anyone know if the shirts can be made at WDW? I know the Christmas shop has a personalization area at the back. Our DS and his finacee are going in August. He could pick them up for me. He is at BCV so any ideas anyone where to get this done?

Well I can't believe I agree with ksjayhawksfan (I'm from MU ) I think it's OK to celebrate your anniversary when you go. We are had our 10th anniversary in May but this is our trip (we had always said we'd go to Hawaii for our 10th but I wanted DW more ) so when we go to Narcoosee's one night I'm ordering us a mini wedding cake to surprise DH. Like mking624 said, if DW can celebrate for 18 months, what's a few months for an anniversary?

 

[ksjayhawkfan]

Thanks guys, maybe we will do something special. I would love to surprise Dh with something

undertheseas-Thanks for agreeing, I know it had to be a tough decision, you being a MU fan

We just got back 2 weeks ago and we were there during our 12th anniversary. We had mentioned it to our TA and she got us an autographed picture of Mickey and Minnie. Also, she sent over a picture of all the characters in front of the Castle doing the same thing and a picture of Minnie in front of the Castle by herself. We have a very good friend that works for WDW and he arranged an Aromatherapy bath kit was sent to our room. Plus, we mentioned it to Mousekeeping at the Pop Century and they did some special towel animals for us. It was an awesome trip.
