    Can I propose during a character meet-and-greet?

    Welcome to planDisney, Chenyang. I absolutely love this question. It makes me think of Tangled because it sounds like you've found the person with whom you want to see the light. So let's get you an answer!

    While you are typically welcome to propose to your sweetheart during a character meet-and-greet, you must adhere to the property rules. Also, note that character meet-and-greets are designed to move as efficiently as possible so that every Guest gets an equal opportunity to interact with their favorite characters. So, if possible, I'd give any Character Attendants a heads-up about your plans, but note that there are no guarantees that they will be able to accommodate any special requests. The character may simply react to your proposal before continuing with the usual photos and interaction. But I think this has all the makings of the best day ever!

    If you really want to make the moment special, you can look into a Capture Your Moment session at one of the iconic locations in the theme parks or a Signature Portrait Experience at select Disney Resort hotels. While a character wouldn't be involved, you would get private attention from a Disney PhotoPass Cast Member who will work with you to make your dream moment come true. With Capture Your Moment, you can book back-to-back sessions for up to 40 minutes of individualized attention. You may also want to consider Memory Maker so you can download all of the Disney PhotoPass photos from your Capture Your Moment session. It may not involve thousands of floating lanterns, but it certainly sounds like the makings of a picture-perfect proposal!

    Chenyang, I wish you the very best when it comes to your upcoming visit and exciting proposal. Here's to finding your new dream together and beginning your happily ever after! If you have any other questions, I'm here for you!

    The world has somehow shifted,
