No, not necessarily. You should prioritize the wedding only if that is the event you prefer to attend above the others. If you have a strong desire to attend another portion of the trip, you should definitely prioritize the portion you most want to attend. We want this to be your family vacation to enjoy how you choose!
No. We purposely chose these plans in hopes of providing options that will accommodate more of those we care most about. We want to have a vacation with you and for the trip to be as much about your vacation to enjoy and relax as it is to celebrate with us. Please choose as many or as few of events that work best for you and feel no obligations whatsoever.
This is completely fine. Our goal was to have options to accommodate as many of our family and closest friends as possible to celebrate with us, but we also understand that these options won’t work for everyone. If you are unable to attend, we understand and promise that there won’t be any hard feelings.
Not the typical wedding reception, it's more of a small, intimate dinner and party in celebration. We have a relatively small group of those we invited and we chose to stay at an all inclusive resort during the wedding. There will be nightly parties at the resort which we intend to attend as a group for those who’d like to join us to get their groove on.
Absolutely not. We appreciate you thinking of us, but we prefer you to spend your hard earned money to join us on this family and friends vacation for as much (or as little) as you are available to join for.

GORGEOUS! The historical average temperature is a high of 82*, low of 70*. There is humidity and it will likely be a little windy. It's the Caribbean, so there is always a chance of rain, but it will be brief if it happens and still warm. This is a tropical climate. Make sure to check the weather prior to packing. Think summer clothes, swimsuits, coverups, and don't forget nicer Evening Beachwear each night for dinners. Everything is outdoors, so plan accordingly.

Since this is such a unique wedding, there will not be normal invitations with normal RSVP cards. We do advise that everyone schedule their travel plans at their earliest convenience to get the best deals and to have plans in place. Once you know which portion(s) of the wedding you'll be attending, please let us know. Brittany is keeping organized records of everyone's travel information so she will reach out to obtain that.

First, we don’t think there is anything wrong with staying a kid at heart and hanging on to as much of that inner child spirit as possible. While neither of us ever imagined we would get engaged at, or have Disney as part of our wedding celebration, we both really enjoy Disney and the family atmosphere. When we first started dating, we discussed places to go for a first date dinner. Disney was jokingly discussed as where we should go and while it started out as a joke, we went to Disneyland very early in our relationship partially to fulfill that promise. It kinda became our thing from there and we hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.
Second, some of our closest family and friends do have kids and we are hoping our wedding celebration and family vacation can accommodate as many a we can for those who would like to attend.
Although Disney Ears, hats and other Disney attire is strongly recommended, it is not required. With that said, the Bride-to-be would definitely be much happier, it would promote further inclusivity of celebration activities, and would better reinforce why you were invited if you did!

No. The best part about the resort being an all-inclusive is you will have the ability to order any item on the menu that you'd like, and you can decide when you sit down to order that evening.
Average Orlando temperatures in November are 78° with average rainfall of 2.24 inches and an average of 15 rain days during the month.

You should definitely wear comfortable shoes and active type clothing. It is also recommended to bring a rain jacket, umbrella or poncho in case it rains during the day. When we were there last November, it was warm during the day and cold in the evening. We wore long workout type pants and short sleeve shirts during the day and sweatshirts in the evenings and were comfortable.
It is also highly recommended, but not required, to wear Disney Ears or hat, and other Disney apparel. See above.
