Fast Facts: Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings and Honeymoons

Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings continues to be recognized as a top-ranked global destination for weddings and honeymoons.

  • Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings hosts 4,000 weddings globally each year.
  • From castles to beaches, there are endless possibilities around the globe to celebrate nuptials, including the crown jewel, Disney’s Wedding Pavilion.

Couples can even say “I do” in front of Cinderella Castle. Imagine beginning your happily ever after inside the Magic Kingdom for an exclusive ceremony surrounded by magic and wonder of the iconic park.

Couples have traveled from every state in the United States, and from international locations such as Japan, United Kingdom, Brazil and the Netherlands to get married at Walt Disney World Resort.

Couples can choose from an expansive collection of fairy tale transportation options to arrive to the ceremony including Cinderella’s Coach, a horse-drawn carriage, or vintage automobile.

Six trained ponies pull the beautiful Cinderella’s Coach and when they’re not working, they can be found in the Tri-Circle-D Ranch stables at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort.

As part of the 25th anniversary of Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings, the iconic Disney’s Wedding Pavilion was completely reimagined with elegant new decor and the addition of a gorgeous chandelier in the center. It remains the most popular location for couples to marry.

  • Disney Imagineers designed Disney’s Wedding Pavilion to frame Cinderella Castle in two views: through the stained-glass window directly behind the altar and through Picture Point, an arch located just outside the pavilion.
  • It’s a 75 foot walk down the aisle at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion.

The tallest cake ever created for a Disney’s Fairy Tale Wedding towered at 10 feet tall.

Couples are able to select from three unique Collections at Walt Disney World Resort to tie the knot – Memories Collection, Escape Collection and the Wishes Collection.

The first wedding at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion was televised live June 18, 1995, on Lifetime Television as part of its “Weddings of a Lifetime” series.

Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons has been featured on “ABC Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” Travel Channel, WE TV, Food Network, Cake Boss, The View, and Live! with Regis and Kelly, The Steve Show, and Wheel of Fortune.

At least twice throughout the history of the Walt Disney World Marathon, couples have stopped mid-race to get married in front of Cinderella Castle in the Magic Kingdom.

Walt Disney World is among the top destinations for proposals. The most popular places to ‘pop the question’ are Cinderella’s Royal Table at Magic Kingdom, or during Illuminations: Reflections of Earth near the Italy Pavilion at Epcot.

Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons has an online service that allows couples to create a registry for family and friends to gift an unforgettable honeymoon to Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, Adventures by Disney, aboard the Disney Cruise Line, or through Disney Vacation Club.

In December 2010, Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons launched the Ever After Blog, the first Disney blog outside of the Disney Parks Blog.

Couples can connect on Facebook , Twitter, YouTube, Instagram , and Pinterest with past, present and future couples.

Texas Couple Celebrates Happily Ever After With Their Own Royals-Inspired Wedding at Walt Disney World Resort

Inspired by this month’s royal wedding and very much in the moment of their own prince and princess dreams, a lucky Houston couple spoke their “I Do’s” Thursday in front of a national television audience and their dream backdrop: Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World Resort.

Late last summer, Alexis Preston and Jay Patel’s wedding plans were washed away by Hurricane Harvey which left their Houston home flooded, ruined their car and put their dreams on hold.

In honor of the upcoming royal nuptials of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings and ABC’s Good Morning America teamed up on a national search for a couple worthy of a wedding with all the royal accoutrements. Alexis and Jay, exuberant Disney fans who got engaged at Cinderella’s Royal Table and dreamed of getting married in the Magic Kingdom, were selected from more than 3,000 couples for a regal wedding fit for royalty.

Regal it was. Resplendent in an elaborately beaded Kleinfeld wedding gown, the bride arrived princess-style in Cinderella’s Glass Coach, pulled by six white ponies. Royal trumpeters, joined by Major Domo (from Cinderella), flower girls and page boys, heralded her arrival. Some women accessorized with fascinators – fancy headwear commonly worn by the English on festive occasions.

After a dream-come-true wedding night stay in the opulent Cinderella Castle Suite in the Magic Kingdom, the newlyweds will be whisked off to an unforgettable honeymoon in England and France, courtesy of Adventures by Disney.

“It’s been a hard year,” Alexis told GMA. “So it’s such a blessing to get married at my favorite place in the world.”
