Proposing to my partner next week. Suggestions?

[bky0809]

Hi all,
My partner and I will be visiting WDW next week and I am planning on proposing while we are there. His mom has already arranged champagne to be delivered to our table at dinner our first night during the Hollywood &vine Star Wars character meal. We are doing DHS our first day. Any suggestions? I was thinking of doing it when we take the picture with Ewok Chip and Dale, we are both huge Star Wars fans, I am making a R2D2 ring box to use. I am looking for any advice, I also already ordered a plush Jedi Mickey so I could work that I'm as well.
- Thanks

That sounds so cool! You have to post a picture of the R2D2 box once you’ve finished! The Chip & Dale picture idea sounds terrific although you would need to time it with the champagne and dessert, I would say!

Sure thing.

My only thing with taking the picture with Chip and Dale is from what I understand you take the picture with them as you enter the restaurant. I read a review about the dinner on the Disney Food Blog that mentioned this. But it maybe nice to get it out of the way right off the bat.

If I can I want to get the "Just Engaged Buttons" as well. The trip is for my partner's 30th Birthday which was on the 5th but due to being back in school we had to wait for my break between spring and summer semesters to go. Sunday the 18th is our Anniversary and then Monday the 19th is when I am planning to propose. We are there for 4 days so its all pretty fast paced and we fly in Monday morning and will be in Orlando just before lunch and are planning to go straight to the parks.

I have also thought of having the Jedi Mickey plush in my bag and having the ring on his neck, or Just putting the engaged button on it, give it to my partner and when he sees the button and says something giving him the R2 box.

It's a shame we are missing Star Wars Weekends and the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival on either side of our trip, but his mother made the arrangement through her DVC membership and I was at her behest of when/ how long we could go based on what points she had to use.

For the R2 box I have used several different online resources/ tutorials. I have two I am working on just different sizes. Both use a plastic easter egg for the dome and have a body from random things I found around the apartment (one is from an empty shaving cream can that i sawed down to the right size). The next step is applying the details, I am playing with printing out the body markings on either transparency film or just entirely out of paper then gluing this to the body and then sealing this.

When i get home this evening I will post some pictures of it under construction. All the model making for my scene design classes in college have be helpful when thinking of creative uses of random materials. So far I have had everything laying around the apartment that I have needed to make it.

That’s true, it seems like the picture with Ewok Chip and Dale takes place when you get in. I haven’t done this character meal but the characters and the dessert look superb!

The button on the Jedi Mickey Plush sounds like a good idea. I wouldn’t put the ring on its neck since you’re working on a cure box for it! (We’ll wait for the pictures!)

Maybe someone has done it and can recommend the best moment to propose during the meal but either way I don’t think you can go wrong with proposing when there’s love and you’re at Disney!

Instead of clogging up this post I have posted the details/ progress photos of the ring box on my Pre Trip Report. 6 Days to Our WDW Vay-Cay

Theres also a lot more about the trip and plans there other than my post here. I will post a final product here as well as continue to update the progress on it on the Dis-gner board as well.
