Hiya, Frankie!
Gawrsh, we're so glad you've brought this question to us today! I love spending as many hours as possible in
Magic Kingdom Park and I can't think of a more perfect place for a magical proposal.
Your son is smart to plan ahead for such a momentous occasion and I'm sure it will be a wonderful surprise for his soon-to-be fiancé. Though there isn't a way to pre-plan for Goofy (or any of his pals) to participate in the proposal, I do have a few helpful suggestions.
First, be sure to download the
My Disney Experience Mobile App. You can use this on the morning of your visit to confirm Goofy's meeting location and hours of availability. Last I checked, he was available for hugs and "ah-hyucks!" at
Pete's Silly Side Show in Fantasyland. This is an indoor location so it's a great way to ensure romance and picture-perfect appearances even if the skies are less than romantic. Goofy is typically dressed as The Great Goofini when meeting here, which is sure to add an extraordinary touch to the proposal photos.
I recommend encouraging your son to have a pre-written note ready to hand to Goofy or his Character Attendant when it's their turn in line. This way everyone will know that a big question is imminent and can hopefully add a little pizzazz to the encounter. If that sounds tricky to navigate without his bride-to-be noticing have no fear. Goofy is a born performer and I bet he'll quickly take the hint once it's time for your son to go down on bended knee. I'm so excited just thinking about this I know you all must be bursting with anticipation!
After he pops the question, pose for a few snapshots with Goofy and then head to any merchandise location to pick up complimentary "I'm Celebrating!" buttons for the happy couple. Cast Members should be able to personalize them with "Just Engaged" or another short phrase to commemorate the day. I'd also recommend booking a
Capture Your Moment Photo Session for that day, if available. These private 20-minute sessions can be booked 60 days in advance and would be a perfect way to celebrate the happy occasion. Your son can also inquire about engagement props when they check in for the session. Keep in mind that photo downloads are included with the purchase of
Memory Maker, which is a separate cost from the session fee.
I hope this helps, Frankie. If we can offer any additional recommendations please come back and let us know. Wishing you all a BIG congratulations, from our planDisney family to yours.
Magic and memories,
Amy
