Hello fellow friends! I posted this on reddit, but didn't get a ton of response so I figured I would try here as well. I'm hoping I could get some ideas or a little advice on proposing to my girlfriend while we are at DL on our upcoming trip. I'm trying to avoid doing it in front of the castle, mainly because it's just not for us. She's previously mentioned that she doesn't want something super public, but if some people happen to be around when it happens, that's fine, just not a crowd. And as crazy as it sounds, photopass photographers being around are not important. I've searched the internet, reddit, blogs, forums, everything and I'm just not coming up with any stories of what I have in my head. She just recently got into the pin trading thing, and I managed to find an old pin of Mickey proposing to Minnie that I want to incorporate into the proposal. I was really hoping to be able to find a place at DL that has a pin board that could take my pin, and do something on the board that says something like "Marry Me?" out of pins and use the proposal pin in there somewhere. Then when we stopped by the location, they pull out the board for us and then I present her with the ring (and the pin). This would obviously take a lot of planning and coordinating and would have to be done first thing in the morning (which isn't an issue, we will be there at rope drop). I found one proposal story of someone that had done something similar to this and they had help from Disney, but it was from 2005 and from what I understand now, Disney is a little more focused on trying to sell me an engagement package than just help out. *edit: She sprung it one me over the weekend that we now have a breakfast reservation at 8am the morning I was planning on doing the proposal, so this idea may be out of the question.*
I have read plenty of ideas of just walking up to a CM that has a pin lanyard and handing them the pin and giving them a quick "I want to propose to my girlfriend, can you help out?" type of thing, but I'm having a lot of trouble seeing how I would be able to steal myself away from her, as we very rarely separate from each other when we are there. I'm sure I will be able to make this happen fairly easily, but I was really hoping for something with a little more pizzazz. I do have a backup plan to do it at the Wishing Well first thing in the morning when it's not very crowded, but I'm struggling with that too, as it would be completely out of the ordinary for me to just lead her over to a spot we've never searched out before.
I know everyone says it, but I just want it to be special. I do know that no matter what I decide to do, it will be special for us and the how doesn't really matter. It's the end result that matters the most. And yes, we picked out her ring together, so she's aware of this happening, and I suspect she knows that I'm planning on doing this, but she doesn't know when or how. So, any current CM's out there or anyone else with some DL knowledge that could provide me with some advice?
