Questions for Vow Renewal

[Miniefan]

Hi everyone out here on the WDW weddings board, first of all, I have seen a lot of everyone's wedding pics on here while I was lurking/reading/gathering info, and every one of you had the most beautiful wedding pics, truly fairy tales. I was hoping that someone out there could help me out with some questions I have about Disney's Intimate Vow Renewals. My dh and I got married at the courthouse and originally planned to renew on our 5th anniversary, but everything just didn't work out for that so now I am back to square one. I had the package with WDW FTW's about a year ago, we were supposed to do it Feb 2003, but it just didn't work out that way, I have been looking at these wedding threads, and the FTW web site and I am not exactly sure if they do it the same way. We have since then became seasonal passholders and will probably upgrade to annual this year. My question is, can you book a vow renewal/wedding without needing whole package with the tickets and all??
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Kim

You can do what's called an intimate add-on. Its less than the whole intimate package, doesn't include hotel rooms. But includes everything else. I think it is about $2,100?

I'd call up FTW and ask them about it. I don't remember if it includes park tickets or not for that price.

Good luck!

Thanks to so many on the site recently, I too have scheduled an intimate add-on. I will have everything but the big party (just the two of us), hotel stay (taken care of) and passes (AP). The total cost is $2030. We will be getting some things we really don't need (i.e. cake, reception and flowers). But I am hoping to parle` some of those things into a nice dinner. Maybe they will consider a trade of flowers, cake and reception for Vicki and Al's? The whole process was a little confusing but thanks to the guidance of our DIS friends, I was able to lock down a great suprise for my wife.

I also saw where the packages now included some kind photography does anyone know what is actually included in this add-on??

Could you please pass on a little more info on the intimate-add on.

Sounds perfect for us.

Coming up on our 10 year....

Does this include a reverend (we used reverend Herring for the first time at Y&BC)?

Also, could others attend and eat the cake?

I need a number, and a coordinator to get some info, please

Thanks, Goldi

I called WDW's FTW dept, and they said you can do the add-on only if you have an existing hotel reservation with WDW or if you lived in the Orlando area, and they didn't go into detail with me about the price because I wasn't sure when I would like to do it, but the add-on includes all of the items the intimate package would already include minus the room accomodations and park tickets. I also asked them about the photography that is included and all you get is an album with 12 pics in it that the photographer pics out and you can purchase the negatives but I am not sure how much they are. I really want to do the WDW vow renewal with my dh, we didn't have a real wedding, we planned on it for our fifth but realisticly it looks like it might be on the 10th now, or possibly before just depends, but I am also checking into the weddings they do at the WDW Swan and Dolphin hotel, I called them also today but I haven't spoke with anyone yet, so depending on the prices and the amenities I hope we can do one or the other. If there is anyone out there that has done the ceremony at the swan/dolphin and can let me know how much and what it is like I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Kim

Cobra . I have a question. Is it $2030 OR $2300 for the add-on?
I thought it was $2300, but would be thrilled if it were less! Thanks!
