A lot of people get engaged or honeymoon at Walt Disney World but you can also get married on Disney property. You can choose between one of the Walt Disney World Resort hotels, one of their Disney Cruise ships or actually in one of the theme parks.

Disney has a website dedicated to weddings (link at the bottom of the page) and you can choose between three different packages. There is also a questionnaire you can fill in to get a rough idea of costs.

Included in the options is being married in the fairy-tale Disney’s Wedding Pavilion, having Cinderella’s coach to take you from your dressing room to the venue and special viewing areas for the evening fireworks.

Disney has split their offerings into three distinct Collections, namely Memories, Escape and Wishes. Both Memories and Escape are pre-selected options with some add-ons whereas Wishes is a fully customisable experience.
