Frank's Studio

[Pmlocke]

Can anyone tell me if Frank's Studio, the wedding planning facility located within the grounds at the Grand Floridian is open to the public or do you have to be registered as one who is planning a Disney wedding? The television show that showcased weddings at Disney had a cake topper that my wife fell in love with. We are going down in 28 days to celebrate our 45th Wedding Anniversary and I would love to be able to surprise her with a trip to Frank's and possibly purchase the cake topper. Can anyone out there help me?

I’ll move this to the Disney Weddings & Honeymoons board.

I think I remember answering this question before @Pmlocke

Franck’s is on the grounds of the Grand Floridian by the wedding pavilion and is generally open to look around when there are planning sessions happening. It is not a point of sales. All of the items within are for display but not directly sold by Disney.

As to the cake topper, if you’re referring to the White Castle one, be advised it is made of white chocolate so may not be the best choice for a permanent display item. That said, you’re better off calling the wedding line and seeing if you can arrange purchase in advance through the planning team and arranging to have it at Franck’s to pick up as a surprise. It’s a custom order item from a 3rd party vendor so not something they have a store of. The cost through the vendor is $170 for the small one and $225 for the large last I saw.

^^THIS. If it IS the white chocolate castle cake topper you're after, you can buy it directly from the third-party vendor here: http://www.themescometrue.com/#!/SHOP

And if you check out this episode where I interviewed the vendor, she offers suggestions for preserving it, even though it's chocolate: https://disneyweddingpodcast.com/ve...ons-stationery-chocolate-castle-cake-toppers/

As an FYI my daughter had that as her cake topper in November of 2017. It’s displayed in glass dome (bought at Joann’s) and is still in excellent condition.

Yeah I wasn’t being flip when I said that. I literally wasn’t sure what the long term prospects are and pointing out to the OP who does not appear to be planning a wedding and so is probably unaware that it’s not made of glass or other durable material.

Oh I understand. I didn’t think you were. I just wanted to share some real life experience with the topper.
