I've just booked a Disney vow renewal service through Virgin in the UK for end of March 2006. Hoping to get Sunset Pointe around 11.00 am. It will just be me, DH and DD11. I'm looking for suggestions for what to do after the service. I was thinking about a character dinner or an illuminations cruise but that won't be until much later. What would you do in the afternoon - change and go into a park. Any suggestions for something special? :earsgirl:
 
How about the Tea at the Grand Floridian? This is what we are doing after our vow renewal. We have a lot of time between the ceremony and dinner. So I made a PS at the Garden View Lounge for tea. :flower:

Thanks kerriL this sounds good - do you have any more details and would it be suitable for our daughter (11)? Do you make the PS up to 90 days beforehand?
 
Hi,
Yes, the tea does require a PS that can be booked 90 days out. And I think it would be great for your 11 year old. Our two teens (DS 15 & DD 14) as well as our 3 year old foster daughter will be joining us as well. There is an excellent web site where I found this info:

we got married off-site a few years ago, but we had a morning ceremony and no major plans until that evening also. after our wedding, we went back to our room, changed, and spent the afternoon in future world at Epcot. we then went back to our room, changed into dressier clothes and went to dinner in Italy in Epcot. we then met some DISers for an illuminations cruise!
 
Kerri:
Thanks for all the info - it's making me sound hungry! I really hope your vow renewal goes well and you enjoy your second honeymoon. Our vow renewal will be for 15 years so we're only a year apart.
 
poohmadmum,
Your welcome. And thanks for your kind wishes! :goodvibes We hope to have a great day! We could not do the renewal for our 15th, so the 16th is just as good! :flower:
Keep me posted on your plans.
