The past week, my son and daughter-in-law were married at the Wilderness Lodge Sunrise Terrace. The wedding was at 2:00pm on Weds 10/21.
The good: The Sunrise Terrace venue was very nice and everything was ready and beautiful for the event. The staff did an excellent job coordinating the event and after-wedding cake/champagne. The photographer supplied went above and beyond the call of duty to make everyone feel comfortable and took a gazillion photos of everyone.
The bad: There was a cast member at the pool with a megaphone coordinating kids activities all during the wedding event. It is really LOUD. It really sucked and sort of ruined the magic created Disney's planners. All we needed was 10 minutes of relative quiet. My older son shot video from 15 ft away and you cannot hear me (officiant), or our son and daughter in law exchange vows. My wife was 6 feet away and said it was terrible. All you can hear is that lady at the pool.
In my opinion, there should have been some kind of coordination between that activity and the timing of the wedding - specially for the money they spent for a special Disney wedding.
anyway - a heads up for those planning a Sunrise Terrace wedding - perhaps a morning wedding would be a better time.
