We totally understand if you are unable to make the trek to Disney to celebrate with us, but we don’t plan on having any other local celebrations.
We kindly request no children at any of our official wedding events. Thank you for understanding. Since Epcot Around the World is an "unofficial" event, please feel free to bring your child along! We do recognize Disney is an awesome place to bring your kids! There are some reputable baby sitting services like Kid’s Nite Out that come directly to your room to watch your precious ones. This service is highly recommended by Disney and is very popular so book early! https://kidsniteout.com or call 407-828-0920

This is an "unofficial" wedding event. We wanted to spend our day decompressing and enjoying some food and drinks at Epcot, so why not invite all our friends and family?! Please be sure to purchase a ticket to Epcot. The plan will be to meet at Mexico at 11AM (the only acceptable way to start world showcase on Cinco de Mayo). And we will visit each of the countries, grab some light bites and drinks, and play some fun games along the way. Wear your t-shirt! All food and drinks purchased will be at your own discretion and cost.
