Hello everyone!
When I first started posting you all were so helpful and thorough about answering my questions I figured I'd ask you some more!
First off is now that I understand how the room number works (thank you for that) I want to know what happens if you don't make the minimum number of room nights. Do you get penalized or have to pay an additional charge or anything? Or do you just get a stern lecture from Mickey? I know a lot of our guests will probably stay on property but I have some friends who are super-cheap ($25 a night for a room is what they consider deluxe) and will not stay on property. We also are inviting one couple who are (GASP) anti-Disney. They will go to our wedding there to support us but have already informed us they are not staying on property. So I was just wondering what happens if you don't meet the minimum room number.
Second question is I know Disney sends out save-the-date cards (thank you, Disney. One less thing I have to worry about). When and how do I give them my guest information? Do I have to have a typed up list when I go for my planning session or how does that work?
Also, I know they send out information about hotels and discounted tickets or something like that. How do they do that? Is it done in a very polite and gentle manner or is it done in a hit-you-over-the-head we-want-your-money sort of way? If it's super-commercialistic then I want to give our guests heads up that this is a-coming, but if it's done nicely then I won't worry about it.
And last but not least is receptions. Does Disney have a limit on how long your reception can last (like you get 3 hours and that's it) or are they flexible? The reason I'm asking is we want to have a leisurely dinner so we can visit with all of our guests and actually get to eat too! But then we also want to boogie down for awhile too!
I've waited a long time for this day and I want to dance dance dance with my groom!
Thanks for any and all help you can give me. You guys are all so awesome here!
