twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 During our last visit in November, I met this very nice man. He and his family were a few sites down from us, in the 700 loop. He was retired military and then flew for UPS for 15 years. He and his wife were there, with their daughter and her fiance (additional family was over at the Lodge). She was in her late 20's and lived in Los Angeles. She had her masters in music appreciation as a harpist and was looking to get her PhD. Who knew?! Probably lots of people...but I had no idea, that there even was such a degree. Apparently, she does very well out in LA and is in high demand; the PhD would allow her to have more clout and a stronger chance at publishing music that she writes (at least, I think that is what he was explaining ). Anyway.... all this to day, they were there, because his daughter was getting married. The folks have lived in Florida for quiet some time and she loves WDW but could not afford Disney's wedding packages. She was, apparently, talking with a cast member regarding Disney wedding planning and she asked about the Tower of Terror (her favorite ride at the parks). She asked the CM, if she could get married at ToT and the gal said, "uh, no one has ever asked that before...let me check". A couple of weeks later, the CM calls this bride and tell her, "Okay, you can do it!". Long story short: this couple got married, on the lawn of ToT, after the park closed one night. How cool is that?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
campingdawgs 4 Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 That is cool! I didn’t know anyone could get married inside any of the parks. I learned something new! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cortezcapt (Derek) 156 Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Very cool. Though I can't imagine that being much cheaper then a Disney wedding package, unless a lot of pixie dust was involved. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now, what that means from one person to the next, well.... ? But, thought it was really neat as I had never even heard of that even being done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 I haven't heard of a Tower of Terror wedding before, but for a price, you can have a wedding just about anywhere on Disney property. The official list of venues is quite long: https://www.disneyweddings.com/florida/wishes/venues/ TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought the plaque outside of the room said it was set up for a wedding reception! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djsamuel 322 Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 When my daughter got married at Disney she could pick venues in and out of the park. She chose the wedding pavilion. The biggest factor besides price for in park venues was the time limitations. Having to plan a wedding for 8am can be tough if you are having guests. The cost was not as bad as you may think for what we got. momof3kids-Yvonne 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I bet it was, lovely It really was an amazing wedding. I had a trip report on here but the pictures were on photobucket and are now gone. Here are a few pictures: She got ready at the Grand Floridian: The ceremony was at the Wedding Pavilion: The reception was at the Atlantic Dance Hall on the Boardwalk: And there was a dessert party on the water outside of Italy in Epcot for Illuminations: It was a great time, not as expensive as people think (although it could easily get there) and Disney took care of everything. All my wife and I needed to do was enjoy it. The planning took over a year and every meeting with Disney was very enjoyable. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
