Howdy, Marci! Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel and asking your question.
I have goosebumps just thinking about the magical moment when your son proposes at the Disneyland Resort! I once witnessed a proposal right in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle and it was about the sweetest thing I ever saw. If your son really wants to take his proposal over the top, then he will definitely want to reach out to the folks with
Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons. This group specializes in making dreams come true for couples including special services for engagements. They have truly thought of everything from planning the proposal at a romantic dinner, during a nighttime spectacular, employing the help of a caricature artist, and of course customizing the day to anything you wish.
If your son is looking for something more low-key, then all he might need to do is chat with a Cast Member at Guest Relations or bring a few friends along to help orchestrate the event. Sometimes, Cast Members have great ideas about where and when to propose at the parks or they can tell you when a certain character will be making an appearance if you plan to include a character in on the proposal. Or if you are traveling with friends, ask them to slyly speak to the
PhotoPass photographer stationed at a certain place in the parks to clue them in that a proposal is about to take place. They will then be ready to capture every loving moment!
I hope this helps get your son started on the planning process. Wishing him and his future spouse magic and joy!
