    Is it rude to ask guests to attend/pay for a destination wedding?

    No one has to pay their own way to a wedding. An invitation is just that, an invitation. Choosing to attend almost any wedding has some sort of cost attached to it. A wedding aboard a cruise ship might have a higher cost than other options, which may very well limit the number of guests who...

    Why Don't Disney Do ROFR Before Resale

    Jkarrows, you asked a question, and many people have taken the time to give you thoughtful answers, but you just say you “agree to disagree” with all of them and keep on insisting you’re on to something here. It’s difficult to believe you’re asking in good faith for an explanation when you...

    House Keeping gratuity how to pay question

    I just write “Thank You Housekeeping!” or somesuch on the memo pad and leave the money on the memo pad next to the note. A lot of times housekeeping will write a little note or draw a Mickey head on the pad, which is always fun. I enjoy having that little connection with the people who are...

    Help - Upgrade from Memories to Escape Package

    You can book a pre-park opening bridal portrait session even if you aren’t a Disney Fairy Tale Wedding couple. DFTW couples can book earlier, at 12 months out; all other couples can book at 4 months out. Now, I have no idea how hard it typically is to book one of those bridal portrait sessions...

    How to ask your in-laws ...

    Generally, guests in small ceremonies understand that the traditional "rules" for guests of honor are off — it's like everybody at the wedding is the wedding party! So if you would like to honor their attendance with a gift, a presentation rose, or involving them in the ceremony in some way, I...

    Help - Upgrade from Memories to Escape Package

    Have you considered a wedding at the Swan & Dolphin resort (located right next to the Boardwalk on Disney property)? A lot of people think that if they want to get married at Disney they have to go through Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings, but there are other options. The Swan & Dolphin offer a...

    Help - Upgrade from Memories to Escape Package

    First of all, congrats :) Along with the extra hour of photography, you also get a 20-image photo album with Escape, as opposed to the 11x14 print with Memories. The Escape collection includes both a bridal bouquet and a boutonniere; the Memories collection only includes a bridal bouquet, with...

    Having doubts about doing Disney

    It is unfortunate that things like FastPass+ can make a Disney Trip less spontaneous that it perhaps used to be. But look at it this way: those "reserved rides" are bonuses you can choose to take advantage of, not obligations. If you decide in the spur of the moment to do something else, that's...

    Escape wedding package

    First of all, congratulations! I hope you’re having a magical day as well. December is such a lovely time at Walt Disney World. I’m not like a big holiday person but there’s just something about the decorations that I find absolutely enchanting. It’s all so nostalgic and charming. I don’t know...

    Disney doesn't want my money?!?!

    Of course not, she only wants free dining for guests who will be staying in a second room. :rolleyes2

    Disney doesn't want my money?!?!

    The difference is that the free dining promotion is tied to the room and is for the people who are staying in it. OP is trying to add people who will not be staying in the room to the reservation just to get them free dining. Again, no judgement, but I can see why Disney would balk. She says she...

    Disney doesn't want my money?!?!

    You insist you aren’t trying to cheat anyone, but you are trying to get free dining for people who will not be staying in the room that has the free dining offer, which does kind of violate the spirit of the offer. I’m not saying this to express judgement – I’ve played a little loose with who...

    Wedding in September or in March?

    I go to Disney in September and I am pretty sensitive to heat but I am still okay. I usually just don't go park commando all day and I go back to the hotel if it's really hot and it's totally fine. I think I would want to go back to the hotel for a break even if I went during a less hot time of...

    @alexandrapt and @lurkyloo I really love both of your Epcot-inspired cakes!!! I've always loved the retro Epcot color palette and iconography. Thank you both for sharing!

    LGTB Disney characters

    I guess it depends on what you mean by “LGBT Disney characters.” Does Star Wars count? Because in Rogue One, Chirrut and Baze were pretty obviously gay. I don’t know anyone, gay or straight, who saw that movie and thought they were just good friends. Especially with the way their arc ended...

    Memories Wedding

    Congrats on 25 years together! A Memories vow renewal seems like such a fun way to mark the occasion. You have SO many options for food. You can book a formal private catered meal and do it all to the nines, or you can make a more casual dining reservation at a restaurant and even get character...

    Cute matching shirts

    WDWNT has a teespring page with some cute ones with a Disnerd twist, like “I’ll be your Figment”/“I’ll be your Dreamfinder” and “Veggie Veggie”/“Fruit Fruit”

    September Free Dining

    In my expense, you want to try to get it right away, especially if you want to stay at a value resort like Pop. The first time I tried to get the deal, I got it the morning of, but I fell asleep and didn’t get it for a few hours after the deal went live. By that time the standard rooms allotted...

    Questions

    When you say the only listed contract that was similar was $16 less per point, do you mean that it was also a small contract like yours? Because small contracts always have a premium attached. If it was just similar because it was at the same resort or something, and it was a larger contract...

    Magic Band restock?

    You can search for it on magicbandcollectors.com, if the post for it says “limited release” it probably won’t come back, it it’s just a new “open edition” it probably will.
