The Walt Disney theme parks and resorts are often lovingly called “the most magical and happiest place on Earth,” and with good reason: Disney’s timeless stories of good conquering evil, finding true love, reinforcing family bonds, and nurturing lifelong friendships portrayed in their movies and television shows enrich the lives of millions of children around the world every day. A Disney-filled childhood is a wholesome childhood spent learning that you should treat others with respect, that it’s okay to fail as long as you keep trying, and that there’s always time for a catchy little song and choreographed dance routine.
But Disney is not just theme parks, film, and TV: They are a massive $60 billion in annual revenue corporation with businesses in studio entertainment, media networks, and interactive media; consumer products; theme parks, cruise lines, and resorts; as well as the assets, infrastructure, research, development, engineering (Imagineering), design, construction, operations, and maintenance associated with all of those activities; and so much more.
So of course (and luckily for you, readers!) Disney also offers the priceless opportunity to say “I do!” in dozens of their magical properties around the world! Although Amarvelous Event serves the New York City metropolitan area, we can’t help but to feature some of the fantastical fairy-tale venues available for wedding ceremonies and receptions at the Walt Disney World theme parks and resorts in Florida!
