Event Details

Our event will take place on Monday, February 29th, 2016 and start at 7:30pm. Please try to arrive at least 30 minutes early in case of traffic or transportation delays, doors will open at 7pm.

Both the ceremony and the reception will take place at locations within Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. Please note: While this location is part of the general Walt Disney World Resort, it is outside of any of the theme parks and therefore there is no need for theme park tickets in order to attend the ceremony or reception (For more details on tickets please click here). A map of the resort is included here.

The address for the hotel is:

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
4104 Floridian Way
Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830

Note: The roads at Walt Disney World can sometimes be confusing, we highly recommend reviewing the directions on this page below.

After the reception please be aware that Disney transportation (i.e. bus, Monorail, or watercraft transportation) usually only run up to an hour and a half after park closing. As of now, the Magic Kingdom will be closing at 11pm, meaning the last buses from the Magic Kingdom bus stop are likely to leave between 12 and 12:30am.

Travel Tip: If you do not have a car and Disney transportation has ended for the night we would recommend you download/use the Uber and/or Lyft apps on your smartphone (available for Android or iPhone). If you are not familiar, both of these services are like taxis that will come directly to your location and take you wherever you need to go. Both also offer $15 to $50 in free credit for signing up using the links above. The prices for rides taken through the apps are also significantly cheaper than using the standard Mears Taxis available in the Orlando area.
