Welcome to planDisney, William! Can I be the first to say, congratulations!!! I am so excited for you and your future fiancée. Beauty and the Beast is my favorite movie as well, and my husband incorporated some elements from the movie into my proposal that 14 years later I treasure. I am so excited to help you create your "tale as old as time" today!
William, since you are planning on being at Disney's Magic Kingdom Park, may I suggest making a dinner reservation at
Be Our Guest Restaurant? This is a "must-do" for my family and me each visit Walt Disney World, and this might be a great backup location for popping the question! The ballroom is literally an exact replica of the movie, with the gorgeous chandeliers, angelic ceiling, and snow falling down! You will also see Beast make his rounds throughout dinnertime! I suggest calling Be Our Guest at (407) 939-5277, and mentioning that you want to propose. Cast Members may be able to sit you in a great location within the ballroom and maybe create a special dessert with the ring next to the Grey Stuff!
Another option I think would be wonderful would be to book a
dessert party reservation in the evening, during the
Disney Enchantment fireworks spectacular. You will have more space to get down on one knee, and have an excellent view of Cinderella Castle. Plus, once it is all over, you have sweets and wine to celebrate!
Enjoy your adventure in the "great wide somewhere" William, and the beginning of your happily ever after! Cheers!
Frances
