Proposing in the Parks?

[cgriff]

Anyone here ever propose to your significant other (or be proposed to) in one of the Disney parks? I proposed to my DW 12 years ago, in the middle of Cinderella's Castle breezeway, across from the mosaic mural. Other guests (total strangers) were clapping and smiling. It was a great moment. I've always wondered how others may have proposed in the parks, where they chose to pop the question, and whether Disney cast members might have somehow been involved??? Anyone?

[Too Excited to Sleep!]

My husband proposed to me back in November of 2003. We were watching Wishes in the Rose garden outside the castle, and at the end of the show he got down on one knee and asked. I said yes and we kissed as the last fireworks went off! Everyone around us were clapping and congratulating us.... it was just so fantastic!

Needless to say, every time I see Wishes or even just hear the music I get a little misty-eyed!

I'm really hoping my BF proposes to me in MK. I've hinted about it before and he knows my WDW obsession, lol. Mabye he will catch on. It just sounds so beautiful!

How romantic! What a great place for a proposal. Anywhere in WDW. Unfortunately, we were poor college students at the time. I didn't get him to WDW until our honeymoon, and he was skeptical at that until we arrived. Now he knows.

I proposed to my fiancee on the beach in front of the yacht and beach club... we are actually getting married too at disney in October!!

My fiance proposed to me 1/06 at our resort-Coronado Springs. I debated getting married at WDW but I think we are going to get married in San Diego where we live. I did however just book our honeymoon for this December. I can't wait!

I would propose on Pirates, or The Storyland Canal Boats (DL), or IASM but I would try to get a boat by myself...

I would propose if I had a girlfriend... ...

Well, my exfiance proposed to me on my CP when he came to visit. He was going to wait until we had dinner at CRT on our anniversary night, but it happened 5 minutes after we got to the hotel. And DBf won't have anything to do with what my ex did, so Disney's out of the question. Hmmm, maybe I can convince him to get married there! Ha ha.

Well, this is a little off-topic, but kind of appropriate.

My sister got married on POTC at DLR. She had figured out exactly how many people could fit on one boat. They sat in the front row, with the minister.

The wedding vows started just before the first drop. They both said "I DO" before the second drop.

So romantic!!!

We saw a proposal last trip right in front of Cinderella's Castle after Wishes during the Kiss Goodnight. It was soooo sweet!!!

My now ex-fiancee proposed to me while I was working at Mission: Space on Christmas eve. I was out in the cast parking lot (lol) where he was picking me up, and he asked me if I wanted to go to the parks that night to see Illuminations. I said I was too tired and didn't want to go, so he did it in the cast parking lot at Epcot, lol. Needless to say, I wasn't too tired anymore so we did end up going to the park that night for the fireworks. Could have been more romantic if I hadn't been so tired, but it was still at disney! Even though we aren't together anymore, it was one of my dreams come true. We even had plans to get married there before things went downhill. He knew how much it meant to me and even though financially we were never doing very well, he had promised that no matter what, we would get married there. Oh well... cest la vie

My Sweetie proposed as we were leaving Fantasmic- and thats all I'm going to tell you!

I proposed to my better half on our last trip. We are both pretty private people, and didn't want a big crowd, so I knew it was not going to be easy at WDW. MGM was closed after Fantasmic, and as everyone was leaving, I said I wanted to get a closer look at the hat in the dark. She said there is no way they would let us over there since everyone was having to leave, so I told her to stay put while I talked to a CM. I told him what I had planned and he said to go ahead. We walked over to the hat and I asked her (she said yes). As we walked back, the Cm who originally gave us permission asked how it went and when I told him that she accepted he congratulated us and wished us luck. I know it is not the huge romantic gesture that some people want, but it was appropriate for us and our lifestyle. Besides, since we were the only ones who got to go over there, it was a little like we were getting away with something that no one else in the park got to do, which made it all the more special.

My husband proposed to me in front of the castle! Afterwards we walked around and talked. I was so excited I didn't even pay attention to my surroundings. We wound up at Cosmic Rays for supper, and while there we called our family to tell them the news!

My DBF and I are going to the World at the end of November and I am sincerely hoping that it happens then. But, we'll see.

[FantasmicJ]

I proposed to my wife at the MK. We were actually there with my parents for MVMCP. I didn't want them to be there (they didn't know I was going to propose), nor did I want a large crowd around. Luckily, my parents wanted to do some shopping before the party was done, and so I asked my fiance if she wanted to ride the Carousel as my parents shopped. So, as we were making our way to the carousel for our ride, we walked by Cinderella's wishing well to the side of the castle. This was lucky for me because I still hadn't figured out exactly what I was going to do. I pulled her over there by the well, using the excuse that I wanted to be alone with her. I waited for a time when there weren't a lot of people walking by and proposed to her and she said yes. We met up with my parents after it happened and they were so surprised and excited. My mom kept gushing do people on the bus back to POR that we had just gotten engaged at the park.

By the way, my wife still hasn't forgiven me for missing that ride on the carousel.

Maybe my DH will read this and get ideas for a 25th anniversary proposal and vow renewal !




It's my 300th post!!!

My DBF proposed to me this past Feb. during Wishes. It was perfect! No CM's were involved.

That's an interesting way to get married. That wedding would stand out with others.

My DH didn't propose to me at WDW or DLR, but he did tell me that he thought of planning a trip to DLR and propose to me at POTC after the first drop. But we had to cancel our trip; so DH proposed to me at San Fransisco instread. We had our honeymoon at WDW.
