I would love to ask her inside the castle lookin out over disneyland. But I don't think this can happen. So I will have to think somthing else up. So does anyone have any tips on where the best spot is in Disneyland or Disney Cal Aventure? Thanks again. Also I am disney freak I have been to DW 5x and disneyland about 7-8x. I live in cal so thats why. Thanks againg. And if someone has an idea on how to propose to my G/f in the castle that would be great. Thanks again Dennis

My first thought was also the wishing well, if its daytime. If it is nighttime, I would consider the Christmas tree located on Main Street by the train station. The christmas carols will be playing, the lights are lovely, and there is a perfect view of the castle. Very romantic. Wherever you choose, I am sure it will be one of the most *magical* memories you will create in both your lifetimes. My thoughts and prayers will be with you for a joyous lifetime!
Originally Posted By MsLindanne Hey Dennis...welcome to LP...and as for popping the questions...wow! That is so romantic...and there are so many places at DL..I am trying to think of a place that's rather isolated...but just right.. One that comes to mind, and where people get married is by New Orleans Square...it is just past the Xmas store on the left..and there is a stairway..and plants and flowers all around. Otherwise, the wishing well is a great spot...any of her favorite rides that go slow...maybe? Ah....How about the Blue Bayou restaurant? You could make reserv. for dinner and let the cast members know of your plan and I bet they would be more than happy to help you do something special. How about on the Mark Twain Riverboat? At the top level of course. In front of the Castle would be great at night....there are those little seating area's on each side.... That's about all I can think of but being a female, I probably can come up with some more ideas a little later. Oh...how about the area, since your going to be there for Christmas...by the big, big Christmas tree? This is located at the beginning of Main Street. Santa will be there in a sleigh...and maybe you can get Santa involved somehow? To silly? Maybe.... Maybe not....lol... ºoº

Originally Posted By MsLindanne Hi Mickeynewe! You and I think alike! We both thought of near the Christmas tree...and yes...wouldn't the "stairwell" be a great spot? I called it the stairway...but same thing..at least I can picture it and I know some couples like to get married there...and with everything going on in New Orleans, why not bring it "back to life" with a proposal...just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside...ha..ha.. I am divorced so no wonder I feel this way! Oops...to much information!! ha..ha.. ºoº
Originally Posted By viking16atcomcast Thanks everyone for being sooo nice. This makes me want to come back here more and more You are all soooooooooo nice. And you all had great ideas. I talked to my Girl Friend last night and said IF we get married at DL (I want it to be a suprise) where would it be. She said she didn't care but it would be cool in the castle so I think I will do it near the wishing well. Thanks again everyone. Now my favorate ride at DL well humm thats hard right now it's the Pirate ride. But I think that will change once I ride the new space mtn. I haven't been on it since they redid it. Now at DW it's Rock N Rollercoaster. Disney's BEST RIDE EVER. I think. Well thanks again and take care ya all. Dennis

Those pictures are very special to me and I'm so glad he thought ahead to ask the photographer to take pictures! December is my absolute favorite time to visit DL because I love Christmas sooo much and the decorations are gorgeous! We got married at the DL Hotel the following December, because there is nothing better than DL at Christmas time! Good luck and best wishes to you and your girlfriend!
Originally Posted By viking16atcomcast Thanks chipndale16 I would love to get married at DL but it would be to hard to get everyone down there from the middle of cal (I live near SF) so we will pick a place up here for the wedding. But thanks again.
Originally Posted By Jenen The spots listed are great if you are looking for a little privacy...BUT I think standing in front of the castle (back a little ways but dead center) while the fireworks are going on. Right towards the end the snow starts falling, the music is playing and it is so magical! If you were to ask her right there and then she would not even realize that you were there with 1000's of others. I ditto the part of trying ot get a photographer to capture the moment. Congratulations!!
Originally Posted By Ursula I vote for the snow! I was going to say that before I read through to the end. It's too hard to put into words, but it is so beautiful and lovely, I know your beloved will cherish the memories.
Originally Posted By chipndale16 viking16atcomcast-wasn't suggesting that you should get married at Disneyland, just that DL is so beautiful in December, I think it is a great time/place for your proposal. Wanted to let you know about the Disney photographers in case you think your girlfriend would like to have photos of the occasion. Good luck!

Originally Posted By iDisney72 ^^^ Thinking of that idea, wouldn't it be amazing if someone bought out all the Fantasmic seats for a performance, and had the entire balcony to themselves, then had the attendants serve special romantic food and then towards the end, bring the ring in a dessert? Way cool!
