I just had my floral planning session with Rosie from Disney Floral! 
Let me just say she is one of the sweetest, most helpful people I have talked to throughout the planning process! I'll post the prices she quoted me in case it could help another bride-to-be. We are having an Escape wedding and I wanted a bouquet that is a little different from the standard ones. Here is a picture:
It was an extra $25 to add the seeded eucalyptus around the outer edges of the flowers. I am also changing the ribbon to a sheer white one, wrapped the same way.
As for hidden Mickeys, Rosie quoted me a price of $3 per Mickey, whether I use Swarovski crystal or pearl.
DF does not want to wear the included boutonnière because he is allergic to a lot of flowers, so I am going to give it to his father to wear. He will have a white rose with seeded eucalyptus as an accent. Here are the prices Rosie quoted me for various corsages and SBP decorations:
$20 - wrist corsage for FMIL. It will have a single white rose, seeded eucalyptus accents, and white ribbon. This wound up being cheaper than the spray rose corsage I was originally thinking of (that was $25).
$25 - pin-on corsage for my aunt. It will have white dendrobium orchids and white ribbon.
I did not add any of these options to my floral selections, but I thought the prices were helpful:
$65 - flower petals on the aisle at SBP. She mentioned that they do not recommend red rose petals because they can stain the bride's dress as it drags over them.
$50 - to swag railing behind the spot where you stand to get married with tulle and bows. Rosie just sent me a pic of this:
$120 - to have a tulle swag in the archway where you get married and have bows at three points. It is like this picture, with bows instead of flowers (I think there might be a bow at the top too?...)
$250 - to have a tulle swag with floral clusters in the same archway. It would look like the picture above.
I was also able to schedule our honeymoon shoot that we get since we are using Randy for pictures instead of Disney Photography.
We get 30 min. with a photographer in the park of our choice (we picked Magic Kingdom). We'll receive 2 5x7" prints and the other pictures will be on a website to view. The times available to pick from are any day of the week from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. She suggested doing it early in the morning on a day in the middle of the week so it would be less crowded. I picked Tuesday, July 15 at 9:30 a.m. She said MK opens at 9:00, so that will give us time to get there and meet the photographer at City Hall.
I switched the location for our lunch after the wedding. I originally booked Wolfgang Puck Cafe for 1:00 and they told us we would have to eat at two separate tables outside (it will be HOT!!!). I was able to make an ADR for Grand Floridian Cafe at 1:00 and we will all be able to sit together (8 people) and it will be inside
Lastly, I asked Rosie about how the cake part of the ceremony goes since we are getting married early in the morning and she said we will still cut it and eat the first piece for pictures and then the rest can be boxed up and we can take it with us. She suggested letting our guests eat cake while DF and I have our pictures taken by Randy. I asked the lady at Disney Dining about serving the cake at the GF Cafe and she said I would have to talk to them directly when the wedding is closer about whether or not I can serve it there. I am sure I have read of other brides doing this though.

July must be a good month to get married if you are celebrating 20 years soon! I hope DF and I do as well as you and your DH! 
I bet their wonderful designs have touched many lives in special ways. 
The design makes it look layered. I haven't actually printed any yet. I am thinking of printing them on heavy white card stock and then cutting around each invite.
It's sad, but you and DF need to be a little selfish now, and start doing what's best for the both of you since you're starting a life together. Don't allow the two of you to get bogged down by people's bad wishes and vibes.
