Tiny Vow Renewal?

[disneyjes]

Hey there!

My husband, son and I are taking our first trip to WDW this fall! We're so excited to finally be making our dream come true. Then my husband suggested we renew our vows in WDW! It would just be the three of us and we really cannot spend a lot. Do you guys have any suggestions?

Thanks!

I will share some of my research! It is not complete, but here is what I've got

Disneys most affordable is "Memories" for 2500
includes flowers, 20 (5x7) photos, live music, limo, and a choice of 3 locations. Conch Key Marina at the Grand Floridian, the Luau beach at the Polyneisian, or some place at the Wilderness Lodge

plan to add officiant 200+

Hyatt grand Cypress- beautiful gazebo, one night in junior Suite, cake & champagne, flowers, officiant included.

Plan to add photos, also no music

Swan and Dolphin - site starts at 1500 customize as you wish, very highly reviewed

Shades of Green - must be military or have military sponsor at event Intimate package $900, pretty gazebo, cake & champage, flowers, music, & photos. Most complete package I have found, but we are not military no we can't use this one.

Paradise Cove- offers several intimiate packages or just rent site for ceremony, in person we were not blown away with this venue but it looks beautiful at sunset.

Cypress Grove- we are just renting the site for 500, got an officiant 200, getting our own floral, cake & champage, photos, and still deciding about music.

We're going for our 30th Wedding anniversary and I *just* decided to look into vow renewals because of this thread!

Don't forget there is also the "Characters in Flight"

We are doing a 20th anniversary vow renewal with just 3 of us -- my husband, myself and our son -- at the Swan this May. We're looking forward to celebrating our family, just us 3!

Just an FYI ... I found out today that the Swan site fee is going from $1595 to $1815 on Feb. 1st. Still cheaper (and in my opinion -- having tried to plan a vow renewal twice with DFTW -- BETTER) than Disney, though!

I was also going to mention Charecters in Flight! I think there are additional DTD locations, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.
