Hi! I am new to the boards & I'm planning on getting married in a destination wedding. I'm seeking any advice, opinions, and info about Disney intimate weddings and/or disney cruise weddings. If you have done it, did you enjoy it? Was it worth the $? What all was included in these packages? What about photography? (very important to us) What is the disney private island that the cruise takes you to? How far in advance do I need to book and what do I need to know before going? In short, anything you'd like to add would be greatly appreciated. We are planning a private ceromony for just us or very limited guests, this fall or spring. We are Florida residents if that matters. I have been to the Disney website and have requested some info but have yet to recieve it.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you so much that was very helpfull! Congrats & good luck w/ renewing of ur vows!
I'd still be interesting in cruise info if anyone has it,
Thanks again.
 
I will be getting married this November aboard the Disney Magic.

The package does not include pictures, but they do have where you can have pictures taken. I don't have my paper with me but the most expensive package is $375 which is what we are choosing.

We are also Florida residents. They give FL residents a $90 ship credit because you must go down in person to get your marriage license.

The cruise must be booked before you book the wedding and the wedding you can book at 8 months out.

The island that the ceremony takes place is Castaway Cay. You are legally married at port before you set sail.

We are doing a very intimate wedding with no guests.

If you need more information or you choose a date after November I will be more than willing to share some of our experiences and pictures from our wedding.

If you need to know some more before just ask away.
 
We are thinking about getting married March of 2004, so I would look forward to seeing your pics and hearing about your experiences! Congratulations! Thanks for the info!
 
Hi I hope this worked. I just wanted to let you know that disney quoted me 3100 for a delux intimate add on. I think they might have mistaken my wedding for a premium one instead. Did you just talk to disney? Thanks
 
Disney Faxed me a ton of info about the packages & I recieved my book in the mail. The premium package starts @ 4,200 & the Deluxe package starts @ 3,500 and the cruise costs anywhere from 3,878 to 6,038 depending on the # of nights & if you want the land getaway too. These prices are for 2004 since I'm looking to book in March! I'm so excited now! They were very helpful! If anyone wants to add, feel free!
Thanks everyone! :D
