renewing wedding vows @ disney

[vicgrig]

is there anywhere @ disney where my wife and i can renew our wedding vows without having to spend a ridiculous amount of money? we're just looking for something simple with our daughter.
we are staying at the swan/dolphin but their people are quoting us around $2,000!! we don't need anything that extravagant!

I know nothing about this!

I cut this from another posters response on another thread.....

Near the Grand Floridian is the wedding chapel, and if there isn't a wedding going on you can take a peek inside. It's pretty, and pretty ROMANTIC -- with a postcard-perfect view of Cinderella's Castle through the window behind the altar . If there IS a wedding going on, step back and enjoy the spectacle. You might even see a big mouse and his girlfriend!

For our 10th anniversary, in 1996, my wife contacted the Disney wedding planners. It was just the two of us, plus a minister and a girl who played the flute. No invited guests or anything. Disney offers a package for an "intimate wedding," and I believe that's what we got.

Our wedding planner coordinated the whole shebang, which took place outdoors, at the Yacht Club gazebo, on a glorious May afternoon. She also arranged for us to have a little wedding cake, a champagne toast and, as a surprise, gave us a ceramic "Mickey & Minnie" cake topper as a little gift. It was delightful, and relatively simple.

But, as I recall, it wasn't cheap -- upwards of $1,500, in 1996 dollars.

Would we do it again? In a heartbeat. We have some wonderful memories of a special day. Also, not insignificantly, it was our first visit to Disney World -- and the beginning of our love affair with all things Disney .

I havent actually done this with her, but I know Jane can arrange for "non-disney" renewals at various places on property, and I believe her rate is in the hundreds, rather than Disneys rate in the thousands.

Just another option.
