HELP : Share your Disney Wedding Budget or BEO

[valerie1987]

Hi everyone, my spouse and I are planning a Walt Disney World wedding. We would need your help regarding the wedding budget to start saving. Any personal wedding budget or wedding BEO would be so appreciated. Since we live in Canada we believe that the Escape collection would be perfect for us as we will probably be lest than 18 guests. Thank you very much in advance for all your help. Valerie

There is a great expenses tracker that google made.. i think its google.com/weddings -- will help you chart out your list of expenses and maintain some level of sanity. Depending on the scenario for your package you may be able to include outside vendors for photography and video - there are many companies in Central Florida who offer quality services for competitive rates. Always inquire about outside vendors as you are going to benefit from the large number of quality service providers in this town. some resources to search are perfectweddingguide, beautifulbrideorlando, central florida bridal association

This board has a wonderful long-running thread called Share Your Budget where people have posted their Disney BEOs, including Escape couples: http://www.disboards.com/threads/share-your-budget.2182201/page-21#post-50627975

Even the information in that thread from previous years is still pretty much in the same ballpark—prices have not changed as dramatically as the pricing *structure* has changed (Wishes only). For an Escape, everything's pretty much the same except the package prices, which you can find on DFTW's official web site.

If you have the PassPorter, there is a self-calculating Escape Collection budget in Chapter 9 that will tally your expenses and break them out by those you pay directly to Disney and additional expenses.
