Vow renewal at Disney?

[EGma]

We are visiting Disney for the first time (5 and 7 year old and hubby and me) in December 2008. In January it will be our 10 year wedding anniversary. I've dreamed of having a vow renewal - something simple. Can we do it while we are down there without a lot of hoopla? I think my dream would be to wear something nice and put a flower girl type of dress on my daughter since she never got to be a flower girl. Staying at CBR. Would it be outrageously costly? Thanks!

you could definately do one-as long as the date is available. you have to go through DFTW. You can get information on their web site www.disneyweddings.com. Also check out www.mouseweddings.com they have alot of good information. Disney treats VR just like weddings.

There are alot of VR PJ"S on here they are a great source of information as well.

Congrats! The cheapest VR package you can do through Disney is an Escape VR for $4000, includes: 2 Annual Passes, cake, champagne, bouquet, limo, photographer, website, vilolinist for up to 18 guests plus you & hubby, total 20! Lots of VR PJ's on the boards to get some ideas!

Congrats! We're celebrating the same anniversary for the same reason. We're still in the honeymoon phase of our marriage, but I thought our children would be the absolute perfect ages (7, 5 and 2) to really enjoy participating in our "wedding", since they missed out on the original one .

Here's our budget: $4000 for the Escape wedding package, $200 for the officiant, $100 for a rose wand and petal basket for our girls, $25 for the sand ceremony, and $2000 for a private room and dinner at the California Grill. Our dinner is expensive because that's the minimum for a private room, but you can spend whatever you want at any of the resort restaurants. We're substituting Randy Chapman for the included Disney photographer (about $500) and substituting an iPod set up for the included violinist ($250).

We're doing some unusual stuff at our V.R because we want to make it more about a celebration of our whole family, instead of just us. Our son (best man) will be in a Jack Sparrow costume, our middle daughter will be in a Cinderella costume and our baby daughter will be in a Tinkerbell costume. I'm wearing a yellow ballgown (a la Belle) and my husband is wearing a formal Indian suit with turban (a la Alladin). We're not exchanging rings. Instead I found these silver pendants with an abstract family-of-5 and we're going to put them on our kids to symbolize that forever bond. And we're doing a sand ceremony with all 5 of us. Our guests are only our parents, siblings and their families.

Ours is coming up in a few months and it's doubly exciting because it will be our first trip to Disney, so we feel like we're exposing the kids to WDW with a real bang!

Wow, that sounds amazing! Have a glorious day!
Unfortunately I can't afford the minimum 4,000. And we wouldn't have any guests ... it would just be us. I guess Disney can't accomodate my situation. Probably have to move on to Plan B. Enjoy your day, "Belle!"

Since the Disney Escape minimum is out of your reach, try looking at something at the Swan/Dolphin or one of the Downtown Disney hotels!

There are other options around Orlando as well (Leu Gardens is one).
