we are getting married custom wedding at wdw this march 21st & cant wait wdw is part of the family to us & we wanted something different for our big day. our ceremony is still going to be spiritual, we'll still have the sit down dinner & dancing but well have all kinds of extras & pre/post wedding activities you cant get anywhere else. plus dftw provides a sales manager & planner so the process is relatively easy.

kellykins said:We're probably paying about the same had I had the wedding at home. The biggest differences are that we are having a lot less people in disney than we would have had at home. The people that are coming to disney are the people that it was most important for us to have the rest were people that are friends of our parents or distant relatives that you just have to invite. The second difference and probably the most important to me is that I haven't had to search for locations, florist, DJ/band, etc. I think if I had to worry about that stuff I would have been a crazy person most of the year. Plus we probably would have had to wait until next spring to get married. The third difference that since we had less people we could spend more money the extras like characters at the reception, a dessert part, and decor.
With 2 1/2 weeks to go before my wedding I am 100% sure that for the same money I am getting a wedding that is 100 times better than anything I could have had at home.

Although since we are on the West Coast people automatically think we are talking about Disneyland. I TOTALLY agree about the at home wedding vs. Disney wedding. Disney is our real "home"
