Vow renewal

[PrincessTigerLily]

My first post- I'm a little nervous! I am a Disney fanatic, and have such turned my husband into a budding fanatic. We would like to renew our vows at WDW on our tenth anniversary. I was wondering if anyone who has done this could comment on whether they would do it again, and if they had any tips or suggestions. Thanks!

We looked into this and we thought it was expensive, Id like to hear what others have to say!

I'm trying to convince my hubby for a DFTW 10th anniversary vow renewal in February 2007, but not having much luck. He is ok with renewing our vows, but the $2500 is a little hard for him to swallow. As a former event planner, I understand how all those little extras quickly add up, and - really - $2500 is not so much for all that you get. But he just sees the bottom line. It is especially hard for him to stomach when our other fave place to vacation is Jamaica, and the resorts there will do a vow renewal for free, plus the $150 government taxes and fees. My current idea is to renew our vows (adults only) in Jamaica this year, then having Randy Chapman take a family photo session with us and our two kiddos on our actual anniversary near Sunset Pointe at the Polynesian. I love Randy's photos!

PrincessTigerLily, welcome to the Dis website!

My husband and I renewed our vows in October of 2004. We held our vow renewal on our 20th wedding anniversary. Would we do it all over again? You bet we would. With Disney's help, it was beyond magical, ~sigh.~

I shared a lot of details as I began planning my Fairy Tale Weddings vow renewl. You can read about it here on the Dis: click here to read about my planning, and click here to read about my vow renewal. I should note that neither of those trip reports are finished yet (oh, how I wish they were).

I began in the "intimate" category but moved into the "custom" category as time moved forward. The actual planning of my vow renewal took about three months. My dinner party was held inside the Disney-MGM Studios Theme Park. It began with a Handprint Ceremony and ended with a custom fireworks display. It was the most magical (and fun) night of my life. It was everything that I had ever dreamed it would be...and more.

I was considering renewing my vows this year on the Disney Cruise Line, but my husband's job is too time-consuming and it's not looking like he can get the time off. Our next vow renewal will have to wait. I have read some nice things about vow renewals on the Disney Cruise Line, and since my family hasn't taken a Disney cruise yet, I thought it would be fun to combine the two activities. I look forward to the day when I can do so.

There is a woman here on the Dis who has renewed her vows several times in WDW. I can't remember her username, but if you search the boards you will probably find a few of her posts. I think she's renewed her vows inside the Wedding Pavilion, at the Polynesian, and another location or two (Yacht Club? BoardWalk?). All of her vow renewals sounded lovely.

Have fun planning your own vow renewal. And make sure to share the details with us here on the Dis. Again, welcome (and congratulations!).

Holy Moly, getting married at Disney is expensive! I can't imagine doing it more than once or renewing my vows. I think the experience is going to be a one time only thing, but who knows I may be speaking too soon. My DF mentioned a vow renewl 10 years later but I couldn't tell if he was serious or not

janet2k...

Thank you so much for putting up your links!! I was looking for them to show DH your reception. We are planning on renewing our vows in 3 years (our 10th) and I am interested in having reception at MGM..Great Movie Ride.

We were going to get married at WDW, but decided against it...because my family all being there was more important to me...even more important than my love of disney.... Several members would not have made it down. And my bridal party would not have been the same, either.


But when hubby and I made this decision we agreed that we would renew our vows at 10 years. I am planning on going all out. I am actually going to start saving now...

7 years down...3 to go. I think we may wait until early december of 09 to do it...even though our anniversary is 9/11. I love holiday time at WDW.

We want to re-new our vows too but WDW is WAY too expensive

I've e-mailed http://www.royalchapel.com/packages.html tonight, and hope I haven't left it too late.

I've also been recommended http://www.floridadreamwedding.com/
on this board.

Good luck
