Wedding Guest FAQ's

AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE DAY PLEASE E-MAIL or CALL WITH ANY QUESTIONS!

Q: What's the dress code for the wedding and brunch?

A: This is an outdoor destination wedding, so the dress code for the wedding guests is business casual. However, we won't be offended if you dress up. 

Q: What's the dress code for all other times?

A: Other than the wedding and brunch, the dress code is vacation casual, e.g. shorts and t-shirts. 

Q: What about having pictures taken by the Disney photographers?

A: We have purchased an unlimited photo package called Memory Maker that works for our entire group, so feel free to have as many pictures as you like taken by the Disney photographers, even when you're not with Scott and Theo. The Disney photographer will scan your MagicBand, which will automatically "link" the photos to our Memory Maker package.  In fact, you should be able to view the photos in the My Disney Experience app by the next day. 

After the trip we will be able to download all the photos (in digital format) and share them with you.  If you happen to get a separate PhotoPass card (e.g. at Enchanted Tales with Belle), then email Scott or Theo the card number and we will link it. 

The Memory Maker package also applies to the on-ride photos. While Disney should magically add the on-ride photos to our MM package, it sometimes doesn't work perfectly. As a backup, please make a note of the on-ride photo number. We find it easiest to use a phone camera to take a picture of the screen displaying your photo. If the photo hasn't shown up online in the My Disney Experience app by the next day, then please email us with the ride name and picture #, or easier yet just send us the picture of the displayed photo.  With this information, we can have Disney manually add the photo to our MM package. 

Q: What if I want pictures taken with my own camera?

A: The Disney photographers are more than happy to take pictures with your camera, even when meeting the characters. If no Disney photographers are around, just ask another park guest - it's a great ice-breaker!  However, more than likely you'll have to return the favor and take their picture with their camera.

Q: Any other tips?

A: Disneyworld is HUGE!  You'll be doing LOTS of walking. Bring comfortable, broken-in athletic shoes.  This is not the time to suffer wearing fashionable footwear. 

The Florida sun is intense year-round, so use sunscreen! Nothing ruins a vacation like a bad sunburn. Don't forget oft-overlooked areas like the top of your ears, the back of your neck, and the tops of your feet.

Stay hydrated. Buy a bottle of water and refill it.  Consider taking a used water bottle back to your room each night to refill it and then chill or freeze it in your in-room fridge overnight, so you can set out each day with chilled water. 

Central Florida tap water smells and tastes horrible, particularly at the Magic Kingdom park. Fortunately, Disney filters the water in their dining locations (this includes ice). All Disney dining locations will provide ice water for free, so keep this in mind if you can't stomach the tap water from the water fountains. 

If you buy souvenirs in the parks at one of the stores (not a cart or kiosk), particularly early in the day, and don't want to carry your purchase around with you all day, then ask about having your purchase delivered to the front of the park. You can then pick up your purchase when leaving the park. Note that your purchase won't be available for pickup for several hours, so don't use this service if you plan on leaving the park soon. 

The link below has everything you need to know about Magical Express - This applies to Louise, Rose and Andi.

The main thing to remember is that American Airlines is in Terminal A and the Disney Magical Express area is in Terminal B.  Terminal A and B are in the same building, not like DFW’s terminals are all spread out.  It would be better to think of the airport as one building with the terminals as SIDE A and SIDE B.

 More About Disney Magical Express:

If you'd like to use Disney Magical Express for transportation to and from the airport, just let Stephanie at MouseFan travel know and she can get you set up.  If you are a Disney Vet you know the service includes getting your luggage all the way from when you depart your airport to the room at the resort. For the wedding, Stephanie suggest you claim your bags at the airport and take them with you to the bus.  They can store the luggage beneath the bus and ensure it gets to the resort with you.  While, the luggage service is reliable, this is not the not the time to find if they are not.  Most trips, it would be easy to run somewhere and get more park clothes but in this case, it might be harder to replace what you planned on wearing to the wedding.  (Thank you, Steph for the advice!)

Q: When will Scott and Theo be at Walt Disney World?

A: We will be at WDW from Oct 3 - 9 and are excited to spend time at the Most Magical Place on Earth with our loved ones

Q: How will I get to the wedding and back to my hotel after the brunch?

A: Disney will provide a private mini motor coach to transport our guests from their Disney hotels to the wedding venue, between the wedding and brunch venues, and back to their hotels after the brunch. If you won't be staying at a Disney hotel on the wedding-day, then please contact us so we can arrange for you to get to/from the wedding.

Q: I'll have a car. Can I drive myself to Epcot for the wedding and brunch to follow?

A: It is best if you do not. Firstly, the wedding will be held at the World Showcase section of Epcot before this section of the park opens. Furthermore, you will enter and leave the World Showcase from a "backstage" entrance. As covered previously, transportation to/from the wedding will be provided.

Q: Since the wedding will be in Epcot, will a theme park ticket be necessary?

A: Not for the wedding itself, since it will take place in the World Showcase section of Epcot before this section of the park opens. Naturally, if you do plan to be going to the parks later that day after the wedding, then you will require a ticket.

Q: Will there be any other wedding-day events after the brunch?

A: As much as we love cake, we thought it would be a little too early for a cake at a morning wedding or at brunch! Instead, we thought it would be special to invite everyone over that evening to our 1-bedroom villa at Bay Lake Tower at the Contemporary Resort (adjacent to the Magic Kingdom theme park) to have a slice of wedding cake for dessert and watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks from Bay Lake Tower (no theme park ticket needed). We can't think of a better way to end our wedding day!

Q: Cake at your place sounds like fun! How do I get to Bay Lake Tower?

A: Disney doesn't offer direct transportation between its hotels (except for the resorts served by the monorail), just between hotels and theme parks (or between the theme parks). Fortunately, Bay Lake Tower is within walking distance of the Magic Kingdom park, so you can easily take Disney transportation to the Magic Kingdom and then walk over to Bay Lake Tower. It's literally the closest building to the Magic Kingdom - look east once you get there!
