Hi, Mark--welcome to planDisney! I am so excited to hear about your proposal plans and would be delighted to play Fairy Godmother and add some magic to the occasion.
EPCOT is a wonderful spot to pop the question! On a recent trip, we happened to see a couple's engagement unfold in the France Pavilion on a beautiful terrace overlooking World Showcase Lagoon--we joined several other Guests in applauding the happy couple's special moment.
Chefs de France is the perfect location for a romantic dinner, featuring authentic French cuisine and offering spectacular views of the lagoon.
So you don't risk spoiling the engagement surprise, I recommend speaking to a Cast Member at your Resort Hotel. They can update your reservation with your special celebration, and also supply you with some celebration buttons to have on hand once you hear that all-important "Yes!"! I would also recommend letting the Cast Members at the restaurant in on your plans. The new EPCOT nighttime spectacular
Luminous The Symphony of Us will be lighting up the sky over World Showcase Lagoon at 9:00pm on January 5--the perfect after-dinner ending to this best day ever!
And of course, it goes without saying that you'll want pictures to commemorate the occasion. You and your Princess can schedule a
Capture Your Moment session at EPCOT or another theme park--it is a 20-minute session in a picture-perfect location to remember this once-in-a lifetime event Although the Capture Your Moment session is a separate booking, if you purchase the Disney PhotoPass
Memory Maker prior to your visit, you'll have access to unlimited downloads of the engagement photos, as well as all of the PhotoPass pictures and videos from your vacation. You can purchase prior to your arrival in just a few short days!
Mark, I am so excited for you to begin your Happily Ever After and I will be hoping for a beautiful proposal for you and your girlfriend. Thanks so much for bringing your question to planDisney--good luck this weekend!
Susan
