Disneyland/World Special Events - Make It Personal

Here's a little secret. If you've had dreams of having a Disney Princess Wedding as a kid, it's about time that you stop dreaming and make it into reality. Yes, it is possible for you to have that kind of magical wedding, if you wish. In fact, not only could you have your wedding the Disney way but even celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions too!

Here are the basics of what you have to know in celebrating your special events, the Disney World way!

Booking A Wedding

If you plan on having a wedding at Disneyland/World, you will need to get a program called Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings. This is the parks official program for weddings, vow renewals, commitment and ceremonies that can take place in Disney's theme parks, resort hotels or Walt Disney World Resort.

Whether you will be having a wedding, vow renewal or commitment ceremony, it doesn't really matter. As far as the management is concerned these are basically interchangeable.

You could choose from three packages: Escape Collection, Couture Collection and Wishes Collection. These programs mainly vary in the number of allowed guests, customizations and of course, price rates.

For you to schedule a wedding, it is important that you have already picked out a date. This is because you would have to reserve that date prior to the big day. In fact you should reserve it 8-12 months before your desired date. There are places that can be reserved 12 months prior your wedding date such as Walt Disney World Theme Park, Atlantic Dance Hall in Disney's Boardwalk Resort, or Ariel's at Disney's Beach Club Resort. Venues other than mentioned should be reserved 8 months prior your big day.

You can visit Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings offices and talk to a wedding consultant any time from 8AM-6PM, Mondays through Fridays. You can visit their Web site at Disneyweddings.go.com to get more details on their packages and samples of their wedding videos and pictures.

Birthday Party Booking

My Disneyland Birthday Party is the official program that you have to sign up for if you wish to have a birthday party at Disneyland. Just like weddings you will have to book your celebration date. Scheduling and party detail planning can be done by going to the City Hall or Plaza Inn. You can contact the parks Guest Relations information kiosks or call them. Booking should be done 30 days in advance so that you will have no difficulties with your date.

Un-booked birthday celebrations are possible. If you are merely going to the park to celebrate you child's birthday, all you have to do is tell the server of whatever Disneyland restaurant you are in about the special occasion that. They can offer you a special add-on to your meal such as a birthday cake. You can opt to have birthday hats and goodie bags in the package, if you wish so.

Have A Picnic At The Happiest Place On Earth!

Looking for the perfect picnic on a unique location? Do it at Disneyland! You can schedule picnics for 100-1000 guests at Disneyland and up to 17,500 guests for a picnic in Disney's California Adventure Park. The best thing is that it is offered all year round!

Services will include let you choose to have fully-catered meals. You can even have pixie dust sprinkled all over the place, if you wish. The venue in which you want to have the picnic can be customized. From playful to elegantly formal, it's all your choice. You can have special appearances from Disney characters to some other forms of entertainment.
