Proposing?

Post by EmptyCinema » Mon Dec 01, 2008 10:24 am

So, I'm planning to ask my girlfriend of 4.5 years to marry me. We're a little young (early 20s) but we've been through a lot together (and for the last year or so, we've more or less been living together). That aside, we've currently planned to go to WDW this year for New Years as we have for the past 3 years. We'll be down there Dec 29-Jan 4. Since Disney World is her FAVORITE place on earth, I thought that would be the perfect place to pop the question (oh, and there may have been some hints along the way).

She absolutely loves the characters (especially the classics) and would most likely make me ask her again later if there wasn't a photo of the moment. (Not really, but I suspect she'd want it reenacted). So I'm trying to think of a way to do it and involve those elements and hopefully have photopass or someone there. So, since you all know what goes on in the house of mouse, can anyone offer me any suggestions?

I've read the thread back from June, but I'm kindof hoping for ideas that will fit her dreams.

Hmm, I proposed at the Wishing Well at Disneyland.

The last time we were at WDW, a photopass CM near the Castle at the Magic Kingdom had us pose several ways with the castle in the background, one was me on one knee, kissing her hand. You could ask him to do this, then pull out the ring, or pop the question, and get it in a picture!

or ride HM and do it when you see the "bride" (heheheheh)

You could do it during the Fireworks? One guy I know asked his fiancee at Disneyland and he told her how much she meant to him...

I had considered that, but she's read people's trip reports (over at Brand X) where that happened and she didn't seem to be a fan. Especially since she wants a photo of the moment (she scrapbooks, what can I say?)

Besides that, if you were close, you would have to yell!

hehehe

I seem to remember another post, where they got the Photopass CM involved, and they set it up. You could contact one in advance and possibly have some sort of "set up" without her knowing? (pretty much anywhere in any of the parks!)

Then look for Photopass people in front of the Castle during the day... Then pop the question or with some of her favorite characters... Send her shopping on Main Street for a bit, arrange to meet her somewhere, get City Hall in on it with getting characters together/Photopass?

That would be pretty cool. I'm personally a pretty shy (well, at least not outgoing person) so doing it somewhere very public for me will be interesting, to say the least. I've considered doing it during EMH as it will be at least somewhat less busy then. (Though, this being the holiday season, is there a "less" busy? :) )

Think Guest Relations would help me out with that? Seems like a lot of trouble, but I suppose it's worth a shot for sure...

I don't know about at WDW, but at Disneyland if you contact Guest Relations, they'll be able to help you out. I'm guessing you would be able to get help and some great ideas if you contact WDW's Guest Relations.

I'll definitely have to do that. Is there any good way to contact them before arriving during our trip?
