Too Late For March 2010?

[lock3130]

Hey Everyone!

I've monitored this board for quite some time...I'm a huge Disney fan. Just was there last week running the Princess Half Marathon. Yay!

Anyway, my boyfriend and I aren't engaged, but he says it's coming REEEEAL soon. And when we were at Disney last week we decided, if we can make it work, we'd love to have a Disney World wedding.

Is it too late to plan/book a March 2010 wedding? Also, what are the first steps? Calling a consultant? This board has been extremely helpful thus far but I still have lots of questions.

Thanks!

No, it's not too late. It is perfect timing really. Call the Disney wedding line, they will take your information. Then a sales manager will contact you and work with you to find what date/location you want. Depending on the location you may not be able to sign a contract until the 8 month mark. If you choose a theme park location then you can sign at 12 months. After signing the contract then you will be assigned a wedding planner and the rest goes from there.

Call the main DFTW number and ask for Bill. We really really like him.

There are different managers for each kind of wedding, cruise, escape, and wishes. Just give them a call and they will sort you out.

definitely not too late. Caryndisneydiva planned her wedding in only a couple of months and I believe lurkyloo did also.

Thanks everyone! I'm just waiting for him to ask me..haha. I hoped he would do it in Walt Disney World but he knew I was thinking about it and he wanted it to be a total surprise...so we'll see!

I hope to be participating more on this board because I will finally be planning a Disney wedding!

its not to late. There is a bride on here that planned her's in just a week to 3 weeks.

Actually, it's too early! I just called to book a March 2010 Escape wedding and I was told that Disney just recently changed its policy...now, instead of just Wedding Pavilion, ALL locations can be booked no more than 8 months in advance.

I haven't seen any mention of that detail on the boards, yet, but I called last week and I was told they'd call me in July (which is 8 months out from March '10). I was pretty bummed because I'm a Type A planner!

Hey there!!!! That is too funny, b/c when we were there for the race too, my sis who was running with me, is now considering a Disney wedding for next MArch (the weekend after the race -- gotta have time to heal.. LOL)

I think 8 mo. out is crazy.. i think they should be giving you at least a year. There is lots of other stuff to consider - don't they understand that??! For some people, they need to plan their vacations and such due to work schedules a year in advance, and other planning issues -- 8 mo. seems too short to me -- to give the family sufficent notice of plans.
