Thank u for the info. It just seems like their too busy to answer any of the intimate wedding questions, now if u mention custom weddings, they go all out. I don't know maybe its just me, but I have called and left several messages and even sent emails but haven't gotten any response, thus far. I had another question, maybe one of you know, what is the contrace, is that the planning kit that we have to fax or mail out to them or is that something seperate?hiwaygal said:

And that's not a bad thing!!! Remember that Disney does over 1000 weddings a year (that averages out to about 3 a day!!!) and my guess is most of them are intimates. If you do something that often, you've got a plan of action, and it runs like a well oiled machine...so, to Disney, you still have plenty of time to plan!!! 
Thank you so much for your help, you have put some of my worries to rest.hiwaygal said:Your best bet on responses is email. All of the coordinators are very busy and they do tend to focus on the events they have today, tomorrow, or next week (and that is totally understandable).
I was usually able to get a response via email within a day or two...phone calls usually took a little longer. If you haven't gotten a response within a couple of days, send another email.
If you are an intimate, you don't really sign a formal contract. You pay your deposit, fill out the planning kit and pay the balance when it's due and that's pretty much it. The formal contracts are really only for the custom weddings because there are specific minimum expenditures to meet.
Also, you are still a couple of months out. I know this sounds bad, but while we spend months and months agonizing over the details of our intimate weddings, I have started to think that Disney almost throws them together at the last minute!
I was really confused cause some people were saying that they had to sign a contract and sent 500.00 on top of the deposit you put to reserve the hotel, which is to set the date for the wedding. yet my coordinator told me the same thing you just said. so i think i'll go with what you said, since its what the EM said. again thank you so much.
Haha, that's sort of how my daughter began the story of how she and her DH met on their wedding website...DisneyBrideWannabe said:How about a fairy tale theme, like "Once upon a time there was a beautiful pricess named Laura, who dreamed of meeting her Prince, until one day all her wishes came true..." You could of course add in some humor and incorporate your own persoanl story on how you two meet. Just an idea, but I love corny things

(They met at a towing company when both of their cars had been towed in the middle of the night!)
