Help for a newbie?

[brooke.jax.gia]

Hi ladies!

I am semi-new here. This is my first post, but I have been perusing the threads trying to soak up as much info as possible.

That has just led me to a lot of confusion!!!!

First, I should say that I've never been to Disney. Neither has my fiance. I am in the beginning stages of planning our wedding, and am really still trying to just choose a location.

The first thought that popped into my mind was Disney, of course! LOL I've since thought about DCL also.

I would like to get married next Spring. March possibly. Have I allowed myself enough time to still do a Disney wedding? I don't even know where to begin on getting information.

So, basically, I would love some pointers from anyone willing to help! Thanks SOOOOO much!

I suggest you buy Carrie's book to get you started. You can download it here:

The prior DISer has the right idea, get yourself the Passporter book about Disney Weddings, it's filled with so much great information

I would call Disney ASAP to see if your date is available, I would also have a back up date just incase your first choice is not open. Remember, weekday/morning weddings are easier to get and cost friendly. Also, before calling I would have an idea of the venue's you like, again have a back up plan just incase they are booked. Once you have called and confirmed your date, start looking for photographers, officiant, dress, tux, videographer, etc...unless you are using a Disney photographer/videographer (but they are really expensive). Once Disney has confirmed locations and date they will send you your contract which you will sign and return with your $2000 deposit ($1000 goes towards the total amount and the other $1000 goes for incidentals, which if you have none will be returned).

Let me know if you need any other info?

As the previous 2 responders said, DEFINATELY get Carrie's book.

You'll also find the trip reports of previous brides on here helpful, and take a look at the disney weddings & honeymoon blog. Carley pots pictures from weddings on there regularly, so it will give you an idea of some of the venues and what they look like. There is also a flickr stream on there that disney brides upload pictures to!
