How long does it take to book Vow Renewal on DCL?

[Forever a Princess]

Hello!

We have booked the Disney Dreams Cruise that sails on June 12, 2011. DH and I want to do a Vow Renewal on Castaway Cay for our 10th Wedding Anniversary on this cruise.

I called Disney Weddings last Wednesday July 28th. They took my info and said that a Wedding Planner would call me back.

I did get the introductory e-mail from Disney Weddings last week.

I called back AM Wednesday August 4th as I had not heard anything. Wedding Planner called me back that afternoon. I was in a meeting so by the time I ran out to answer my phone I had lost the call. I called back. Disney staff tried to connect me but her line was busy. I wasn't so worried about this as this happens to me all the time when I'm calling clients at work.

On Thursday I did get a greeting e-mail from her. I e-mailed back that my main concern now was to get the date booked for next year. I gave the specific dates that we were looking at. I'm waiting to hear back.

I guess I'm so used to calling to book a resort room, cruise etc and being able to book that day. I know that booking a vow renewal is different though.

I just want to get our date booked for our vow renewal. When that's done I can chill out.

I think I just need to be patient here. I just need reassurance that it just takes time for the busy Disney Wedding Planner to get back in touch with me!! I know that she has a lot of clients and that I'm one fish in the pond so to speak.

LOL you sound like me, I was going through this as well. They should call you back sometime next week. I'm not sure about all the consultants, but mine only works 3 days a week, so yours might not have been there today. Also, they are not open on the weekends. Don't worry, I'm sure you will get your date!

Thanks for your response! Now I can chill out!!!

I have not heard anything since the e-mail last Thursday. Should I be worried or wait a little bit longer??

who was the contact that emailed you the greeting? DCL weddings/VR's are handled much differently than WDW weddings. Once you get your date secured, you won't have much contact with your plannen until much closer to the event. I would call whoever sent you the email one more time and stress that you simply want to know that your date is available, afterall, you've already got the cruise booked right? good luck!
