The attire is cocktail. Please note that the ceremony will be outdoors with a reception semi indoors so make sure to dress for the warm Florida weather!
We encourage to stay wherever is most convenient for our guests! The bride and groom will be staying at the Dolphin Resort (one of the Disney BoardWalk Resorts). Other hotels with varying price ranges are provided in the places to stay. The hotels closest to the wedding venue and economically advantageous are any of the Marriot Village Lake Buena Vista hotels. All other hotels are within 15 minutes of the venue. Disney Neighborhood hotels (i.e., Disney Spring Hilton, Disney Springs Whyndam, and other Disney Neighborhood hotels) will have transportation to Disney Parks, Disney Springs, and Disney's Boardwalk and are typically less expensive than Disney Resort hotels. Note: members of the Wedding Party will have transportation from the Dolphin Resort to the venue.
Disney, Universal, and SeaWorld are very close to the wedding venue and are fun places to visit. However, there is more to Florida than the amusement parks, including beaches, springs, museums, and more. For other unique things to do, check out Visit Orlando for more information. Tori's favorite thing about Florida is the clear springs that have all kinds of wildlife including Wekiwa Springs (about 45 minutes from Lake Buena Vista) and Silver Springs (in Ocala about an hour and a half from Lake Buena Vista). Alex's favorite thing is visiting Disney Resorts and areas (does not require a park admission) including the Polynesian Resort, the Grand Floridian Resort, Boardwalk Resorts and bars (including Jelly Rolls, Crews Cup, and Abracadabra bar), and Disney Springs shopping and dining (including the Hangar bar, City Works, and Morimoto).
If you are in the wedding party, there will be transportation from Disney's Dolphin Resort (located on the Boardwalk) to Paradise Cove. For all other guests, we encourage those staying at one of the recommended resorts to drive or take an uber/lyft to the venue. Of the recommended resorts, the Marriot Village Lake Buena Vista is within 5 minutes of the wedding venue, the Disney Neighborhood hotels are within 10-15 minutes of the wedding venue, and the Marriot Dolphin is 15 minutes from the wedding venue.
