What's the difference between Disney's Escape and Wishes Weddings?
Escape Weddings are complete Wedding and honeymoon packages designed for the bride and groom. They typically include a small ceremony with cake and a champagne toast, floral for the bride and groom, and a musician for the ceremony and reception. Special arrangements can be made to accommodate up to eighteen guests at the ceremony.

Wishes Weddings are personalized events that allow the bride and groom to design a Wedding ceremony and private reception in the Walt Disney World location of their choice. Because these are more elaborate, personalized events, minimum expenditures will apply. There are also certain food and beverage and room night minimums. Your Disney Wedding Consultant will work with you to establish a budget that meets all these requirements.

What is a Disney Wedding going to cost?
No two Disney Weddings are alike. That's the magic behind Disney's Escape Weddings and commitment ceremonies - romantic experiences designed just for you and your special guests. Escape Weddings start at approximately $4,000* and include an organist and solo violinist for the ceremony and the magical amenities package (http://disneyweddings.go.com/site/wed/int/cer/pack_elements.jsp). For additional guests (up to 18 maximum) additional elements are at an additional cost. Some ceremony locations have a maximum occupancy of 10 guests total.

What's the payment and deposit schedule for a Disney Wedding?
An Escape Wedding requires a $500 non-refundable deposit. The balance of the package price and additional elements are due 30 days prior to your arrival date.

Deposits for Wishes Weddings are required to confirm your event space and begin planning your event and reserving hotel room accommodations at special discounted rates. A signed Letter of Agreement along with a minimum non-refundable deposit will be required to confirm your Wedding date. This non-refundable deposit will be applied to the minimum cost requirement of your Disney wedding. The full estimated payment (payable by check, money order, Disney Reward Visa Card from Chase, or other accepted credit cards) of your event is due one month prior to the wedding date. You will receive a detailed Letter of Agreement that will further explain the payment schedule and deposit amounts

When can I reserve my Wedding date?
Wishes Weddings at all locations can be booked 12 months in advance of your event date (based on availability). For Escape Weddings, all outdoor Resort locations can be booked up to 1 year in advance. Disneys Wedding Pavilion can be booked at eight (8) months in advance for Escape Weddings (subject to availability).

Does Disney offer any kind of photography and videography service for my event?
We are pleased to offer Disney Photographic Services to capture the magical memories of your special event. A wide range of styles and packages is available. In addition, your Disney photography and videography purchase will count toward your minimum Wishes Weddings expenditure.

I love Mickey and Minnie. Could they act as Best Man and Maid of Honor at our Wedding?
We're sorry, but our famous Disney Characters are not available to participate in the actual ceremony in any way. However, they'd be delighted to attend your reception to mingle with guests, pose for unforgettable photographs, "cut in" on the first dance, and even help you cut the cake. Character appearances are available in 30-minute increments and count toward your minimum Wishes Wedding expenditure.

Is there a spa where my friends and I can pamper ourselves before the big day?
Ah, yes. Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is located just next door to Disney's Wedding Pavilion as well as our newest spa at Disneys Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa. There you can take advantage of all the latest spa therapies, treatments, and beauty regimens. And the guys might appreciate a massage, too! You might also want to arrange a massage in the "couples" room for the day after your event -- the ultimate indulgence!

Where can I purchase the CD version of Disney's Instrumental Impressions featuring instrumental arrangements of Disney love songs? I love this CD and want it for my collection.
We are glad that you enjoy the music selections from this fine CD from Walt Disney Records. It is available in record stores nationwide and at selected Walt Disney World® Merchandise locations. Happy listening!

We are considering a Walt Disney World Honeymoon. Does Disney offer any Honeymoon plans?
Yes. We offer three land packages and one sea package. The Magic Your Way Package is a starter package that helps you experience the magic of a Walt Disney World honeymoon at an affordable rate. And as a Disney Resort Guest, all the Disney Resort benefits, except Disney Dining, are available to you. The Magic Your Way Package Plus Dining offers you an easy and affordable way to experience a wide variety of participating Disney restaurants. Enjoy the Magic Your Way Premium Package complete with dining, recreation and Theme Park tours. And as a Disney Resort Guest, all the Disney Resort benefits are available to you. We offer 3-, 4- or 7-night Disney Cruise Line Romantic Escape at Sea Packages in which couples will have a magical experience at sea as you set sail on a romantic honeymoon to The Bahamas or the Caribbean.



How much planning time is necessary for an Escape Wedding?
Because Escape Weddings are an elegant and simple affair for 18 or less guests, our experts have selected some of the most popular floral, cake and music selections for you to pick from to make your wedding planning stress free. Your Wedding Coordinator will schedule two 30-minute planning calls to discuss and finalize your selections. Additionally, they will review the event day itinerary and any special transportation needs for you and your guests. Prior to these calls, you will receive an online planning kit that will need to be completed in order to make your planning time effective. If it would be helpful, your Wedding Coordinator will arrange for a Disney specialist to discuss any floral questions.

What if I feel that I need more planning time than what has been scheduled?
Your Wedding Coordinator will base additional telephone planning time requests on their availability. However, you may submit any additional questions via email and our wedding experts will have them answered within 72 hours of receipt (Monday - Friday).

Even though Im planning an Escape Wedding, can I do something special for my guests?
Absolutely, we have specific times throughout the week where our wedding experts can offer an enhancement to your wedding cake cutting with a limited array of hors d'oeuvres and beverages. Your online planning kit will provide you with a list of enhancement options.

I have 21 guests. Can I have an Escape Wedding?
We are sorry, but service quality issues require that we limit Escape Weddings to parties of twenty or fewer, including the bride and groom. If you would like to have more than twenty guests, we invite you to look into a Wishes Wedding.

Will I need to arrange an Officiant for the ceremony?
Disney's Wedding Pavilion is non-denominational and you are welcome to bring an Officiant of your choice. If you'd like a recommendation, your professional Wedding Consultant can provide you with a list of Officiants who have previously performed ceremonies at the Walt Disney World® Resort.

I'm planning an Escape Wedding. Is there a "minimum stay" requirement? How many guests can I invite?
Disney's Escape Wedding packages require a minimum of a four night stay at an owned and operated Walt Disney World Resort. For additional guests, up to 18 maximum additional elements are at an additional cost (note: some ceremony locations have a maximum occupancy of 10 guests.)

You can also choose one of the following locations for your ceremony: Disney's Wedding Pavilion, Sea Breeze Point at Disney's BoardWalk Resort, the Wedding Gazebo at Disney's Yacht Club Resort, Sunset Pointe at Disney's Polynesian Resort, or Sunrise Terrace at Disney's Wilderness Lodge.

We would like to have an Intimate Wedding. We both speak English, but our mother language is Spanish and so is our guests'. Can you provide us with a Spanish-speaking Officiant?
Over the years we have helped couples from around the world renew their vows with the magic of a Disney Wedding ceremony. We would be pleased to locate a Spanish-speaking Officiant to perform your ceremony. Your professional Disney Wedding Consultant will work closely with you to select an Officiant to perform a personalized ceremony as individual as your love!
