When can I book the disney wedding?

Hello all! I have never used a DIS board so I need all the help you can give. I have used the Disney Wishbook option but I need to know any more ideas for the reception. I live in Toronto and I am former cast member. PLEASE help me!

welcome to the dis! the ladies here are awesome & so helpful. on the disney wedding site theres a button on the bottom that requests a call back you can submit your info there & get a call from a disney rep on booking your dftw. you can pencil in your date 1 year in advance, the process after this depends on whether your an intimate wedding (less than 18 guests) or custom wedding (more than 18 guests). you'll then be assigned a sales manager or wedding planner to arrange all the details of your big day in the months after that.

a disney wedding is priceless though, we had the most amazing day.

as for reception ideas this will vary depending on intimate (cake & champagne afterwards included) or a custom (reception with dinner, dancing, etc.) keep posting & viewing here, look at the wishbook & disneyweddings.com and yourfairytale.com

best of luck with your plans, when do plan on having the big day?

We are planning on having a custom wedding. 60+ people. I am here in Toronto planning away and he is in Florida. We want to do it May 1 2008. There will be a lot of people coming from all over the world. I was on the Disney International program and all of my former roomies are coming from South Africa, England and Greece. I went to one of their weddings in South Africa this year! Being able to have the disney wedding would just make my dreams come true.
We want to have it a the WP but we want a funky style dinner and then Dessert Party at Epcot.
Here is a question can you Dance at Epcot after the park is closed?
Any ideas on what to do to make it memorable? We have been to every Disney restaurant so we like everything but we are not sure which would be best for our big day.
How do you post Pictures? BTW you looked gorgeous!

atlantic dance at the boardwalk hosts receptions, i believe they only offer buffets for meals, the vibe is different & kind of funky though you could also look into the mad hatter cake to continue with that vibe at adh or any other venue. you can do receptions (so dancing, etc.) at epcot after park closing at one of the indoor venues like american adventure rotunda or or outside at the italy piazza or island. receptions at epcot require you to have transportation, dj & floral through disney only.

we had a dessert party after our reception at ariels at the uk lower which was just awesome, our guests were wow'd by the vip treatment & fireworks and it created such great memories & photos.

for posting photos you have to have them hosted online (wdwinfo.com, shutterfly, etc) you then right click on properties for the address url then click on the yellow insert image when posting

and theres your photo posted.

thanks for the compliment too! i felt amazing.

best of luck with your plans, may is a good time of year weather wise & you have the flower & garden festival at epcot. you can call & get more info & pencilled in for now with disney but you wont be able to book or confirm anything until 1 year at epcot or 8 months at other venues with your contract. definetly create a website (theknot.com has them free) to keep in touch with all your guests, it was so helpful for us to keep everyone updated. as for tips do what makes you both happy, have the theme reflect the 2 of you & everyone else will feel the vibe too, save your money, get tons of photos & the video and dont stress about the little stuff.
