Hello all! My name is Alanna and I am new to the forum but not to Disney World! I have been a total of 20 times. My grandparents were vacation club members so they took my often. It is literally my favorite place on earth and I know so much about it! My now fiance and I went there for our first anniversary. We now have been together for three years and just after our third year anniversary he proposed in front of a crowd of 3,000 plus people at a motor sports event we volunteer at every year.
We have set the date for September 3, 2016. We are doing a Tangled inspired wedding. We could not afford to do the wedding in Disney World or have our friends and family there so we are doing it here in NH and then doing our Honeymoon in Disney World. I am so excited.
I was hoping to use this forum as a place to put all my updates and things at and share them with all you lovely folks!
Here are some pictures that we have so far. My proposal there was a professional photographer there as well as a bunch of our friends recording! So I will have it forever!
And my ring! I am so... in love with it! It is a very vintage style a genuine blue sapphire and diamonds surrounding it. I feel like it is very princess!
So far the only things that I have done is looked at a bunch of stuff!I am currently waiting for my bridesmaid proposal gifts to come in. I had custom made wine glasses made for them for each of their favorite princesses. The photo shown is just a photo from the person's etsy site. She is supposed to be finishing those up any day now and then when I get them I have boxes for each bridesmaid. I am going to put a picture and quote of their favorite princess on the cover of the box then when they open it it will say, "will you be my bridesmaid?" Fallowed by a picture of their dresses and where to get them along with a picture of cowgirl boots saying "bring your boots!" ( we are getting married at a 200 year old farm) Inside the box there is going to be the wine glass and a mini bottle of champagne or wine, lavender color nail polish, and a ring pop for their ring!
The bridesmaid dresses are shown but I am getting them in lavender to match the theme my colors are lavender and silver.
I am still deciding what to do for a dress but one of my friends is a really great seamstress and she made my prom dress so I am thinking of having her make my a Rapunzel like wedding dress. We found and bought the pattern to do it, but she is going to make it more of a ballgown bottom. With a purple petticoat underneath. And purple flowers and lots of bead work pearls and stones. Its going to be very pretty. I think my mom still wants to do the shopping experience though. I am a bigger girl so I am a little afraid to go through the shopping experience and feel disappointed.
So other than that I haven't come up with much. I am DEFINITELY doing lanterns! That is for sure and its going to look beautiful in the big field at the farm. I am just so excited to be planning and everything!
Oh I do know that we are going to Disney September 9th to the 18th crossing my fingers that MNSSHP is happening while we are there otherwise I will have to push the dates back because I am not missing that I love that party! I know I want to do the Keys to the Kingdom tour as well. And we are going to be staying at Port Orleans Riverside. Which is a place I have never stayed before but looks super nice and fun! I am so excited and can't wait to keep you all updated.

Please do come and share everything here because I am in love already! Love the wine glasses, LOVE the bridesmaid dresses, love the ring, and love the theme! Tangled is my one year old's favorite movie. I'm so jealous that you have pictures of your proposal, too. DH proposed in the privacy of our own apartment which I liked but I do wish we had some pictures or video to remember that moment by. Can't wait to follow your planning! It sounds fabulous so far! 
to the forum! You're gonna love it here!
So I can't wait to get those and then I will share the completed boxes as well. 
I also want to do the Keys to the Kingdom Tour. So it seems like The Wilderness would be more convenient for us. Has anyone ever ate at Artist Point before? The food sounds so...yummy. It would be a nice high end romantic dinner for one night while we are there. I have food allergies (gluten, wheat, barley, rye, and oats) but by looking at their menu it seems like they don't have a lot of those items which is good for me.
