Hi Denise,
Thanks for coming to see us here at planDisney!
It's exciting to hear that you're planning your Walt Disney World Resort vacation. It's even more exciting to hear that you're planning for some very special surprise and delight moments during your visit.
It's clear you're wanting to help create a most memorable experience with your own touch of ''Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo'' to set the stage for a proposal that is purely magical. That's so wonderful! Your idea itself is really so fun, and I can imagine how special a moment it would be. I can vividly remember one very precious family vacation moment from years ago when Pluto was putting on a playful show with my wife during a character meal, and sweetly took her hand to "propose." Pluto acted quite crestfallen when my wife pointed out her ring and pointed to me. It all turned out happy and fun, of course, and Pluto hugged us both. I look forward to the day when we can all experience magical character interactions like that again.
Character experiences today are a bit different, understandably, and it's helpful to know
what to expect as you enjoy all the magic of the theme parks. It's still so fun to meet and interact with your favorite characters, while knowing those
experiences are designed around safety and physical distancing. When
meeting up with Mickey at Town Square Theater, for example, Mickey remains behind a rope when he welcomes you in his rehearsal room.
I know you mention
Disney Enchantment as the fireworks spectacular setting of choice for the special moment. You'll want to seek out a well-lit spot with ample personal space if you can, as I expect you'll find the crowds of Guests filling up the all space from Cinderella Castle down through Main Street, U.S.A.
One idea to consider, Denise, is to keep a lookout for
Disney PhotoPass photographers who can capture the moment for you. Maybe you can ask for a photo by yourself first, which would give you an opportunity to casually whisper to the photographer what's about to happen next.
Another idea is to look into making reservations for an experience that might provide a magical setting such as
Ferrytale Fireworks: A Sparkling Dessert Cruise or the
Magic Kingdom 50th Fireworks Dessert Parties: Disney Enchantment Treats & Seats event. These settings could offer more space and less crowding while still offering picture-perfect views for the special moment.
A Walt Disney World Resort vacation is filled with magical moments. With all the magic in the air, the atmosphere is a pixie-dust perfect setting for creating those precious moments to be cherished for a lifetime. I have no doubt that your son will create the perfect moment to pop the question, and that it will be a moment to remember.
Always know, Denise, just as they sing in Disney Enchantment, that you are the magic!
Here's wishing you lots of Disney magic in your day today!
Jerry
