Congratulations to you and your wife, Chris! My husband and I just celebrated our 23rd anniversary, and I have already started dreaming of all the special celebratory moments we will have at
Walt Disney World Resort in just a few years. Twenty-five magical years together is certainly worth extra sprinkles of Pixie Dust!
Special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries are perfect opportunities to do all the things that have been on my Walt Disney World Wish List. I'm glad to share a few of the ideas that are dancing in my head.
I cannot watch
Happily Ever After without tears welling in my eyes. The music, lyrics, and quotes from so many beloved movies that celebrate love, friendship, kindness, loyalty, resolve, and commitment speak to my heart as the fireworks light up the sky! And I can think of no better way to celebrate your own
happily ever after than watching this nighttime spectacular on a
fireworks cruise. These private excursions give you a magical view while floating on the Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake, with the music piped in to complete the magic.
We have teen boys, which means we have wonderful family photos from when they were little Moukeeteers. We haven't been taking as many pictures as they have gotten older, especially ones with my husband and me. I would love to book a Capture Your Moment photography session. These are available at all four theme parks, but you now know my nostalgia for Disney films and characters. A
photo session with my Prince Charming at Cinderella Castle would make my heart melt.
Dinner at
California Grill at the Contemporary Resort is on my list. I'd also look into
Celebration at the Top - Sip, Savor, Sparkle. I've done the World of Color Dessert Party at Disneyland Resort with friends, and it had me thinking the whole time how much my husband would enjoy this experience.
With most table service dining, the
My Disney Experience app asks if you are celebrating anything special when you check in. Twenty-five years of marriage certainly qualify as "special." I would be sure to share this with every restaurant. Some may commemorate your occasion in magical ways.
Also, be sure to get Celebration Buttons, which are available at the theme parks, and I have seen them at the Front Desk at many Disney Resorts Collection hotels. You can personalize them to let everyone know you and your bride are celebrating 25 years in your forever story.
Chris, I hope some of these ideas speak to you as well. You may want to check out the list of
Enchanting Extras for additional ideas. If you have any other questions,
planDisney is always happy to help!
A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes!
