I was engaged in Disney World too!!
...but not at the Magic Kingdom.
First...a little background, because I'm long winded like that.
I come from a long background of Disney Lovers, my grandma was there opening day in 1971, it was the first vacation I had ever been on as a child and I've had so many wonderful experiences with my family at Disney almost every year thereafter.
DH and I went on our first trip in 2004 with my family. He had only been there once so he was weary of what might be waiting for him. Long story short he loved it and I loved that he loved it (it makes my life waaaay eaiser tee-hee). So we went again in October 2005 with my sister and her boyfriend and we planned another trip for the same time in 2006 (we love the Food and Wine Festival!!) with whom we took my best friend Jenny and her boyfriend. Our trip was for 10 days. We had THE GREATEST time I've ever had in Disney World. It did not rain ONCE...not even a SINGLE DROP (which is odd) and there were no fights, no nothing but fun and drunkeness and lots 'o' FOOD!!!
I'm the type that gets very sad when I have to leave there....alot of my memories stem from there and I just get all meloncholy when it's time to say goodbye.
Cue FH.....
The very last day we were there we went to Epcot Center (my favorite place in all the World!!) and rode rides, drank a crapload of wine and went to dinner at a Japanease restaurant called Mitsokushi Teppanyaki in the Japan Pavillion of World Showcase.
(This part is a little blurry.....I had NO idea an engagement was coming even after 6 years together...I was just happy to be there with FH)
After dinner (and much food) we walked out of the restaurant ahead of our friends and I walked down to the bridge over the Koi pond and said (with my back to him) jokingly 'Hey you know Disney will let you get married RIGHT HERE!!' and I turn around and he's kneeling down....so me being stupid I rush over to him, kneel down and say 'Who are we hiding from?'....and he said 'No! GET UP' So I get up and he pulls out a little white box and I swear I friggin lost my head!!!!!
He said his piece to me (none of which I can remember unfortunetly) and slipped my ring on my finger and all I remember was looking around trying to grasp reality......Then Jenny comes over and says 'OH MY GOD DID YOU JUST DO WHAT I THINK YOU DID???' and starts snapping pictures like a wild woman while being pulled away by her boyfriend to give us some time alone.
Man....I just couldn't believe it, I thought I was going to have a heart attack and a stroke all at the same time....it just didn't seem real. All of the things I can remember about being in Disney World with my FH and with my family and everyhing just started to overwhelm me.....it was the single most emotionally instense experience of my life.
After that, we met out friends in the gift shop and drank ourselves stupid...
....nothing like a little diversion to get my mind off of having to leave to next day.
A few notes: FH told NO ONE about his plans to ask me because he thought even his mother would tell me...he wanted it to be 100% a suprise...mission accomplished dude, mission accomplished. The reason why he chose Japan is because that's my favorite place of course, i find the koi pond, the rock gardens and the foliage very soothing. Of course being a buddhist also helps along my enjoyment of it from a spiritual standpoint.
Originally, we were going to get married there on the very spot we were engaged but it wound up being too much of a problem for his side of the family and I didn't want to rob him of having certain family members present so we've only recently decided to have our wedding in NY.
And that's it.![]()

Yay another Disney World proposal! Im the SAME way about Disney World. It was my first trip as a kid and have gone back so many times. I get the same feeling when its time to leave. This year I was sooo upset to leave. Whenever I watch videos I get so sad lol. I cant wait to go back. We're looking at '09 duiring Christmas time cuz I've never been there for Christmas.
Congrats on your engagement! I loved your story!
It was a hot summer night, the night of July 26th, 2006. FH and I had gone out for a bit, but returned home quickly because of a little 'tiff' we had gotten into. Hey 'boys will be boys'. I was getting ready for bed when he called me saying he was at my door and he wanted me to come downstairs to meet him. I had no idea what was going to happen, no proposal crossed my mind, I just thought he was going to apologize to me. We walked down my block and he was talking to me and I can hear him getting choked up and to my surprise he takes out the ring, goes down on his one knee and asks me to MARRY HIM. I SAID YES OF COURSE, after being together for more than six years. At this point we were both 'balling'. It was as that moment that was amazing. It was so out of the blue, spur of the moment. It was just the two of us, not even aware of our surroundings; everything was non-existent at that moment. I had guests visiting us and my whole family was home. Mike and I went back home, everyone wondered what had happened to us. I showed them my ring and it was just pure excitement. My mom did not have champagne on-hand, so she whipped out the OUZO and we all had shots to celebrate. Mike was going to propose to me the next day at Central Park, but he said he couldn't wait. I didn't want hundreds of people gawking at us anyways. It couldn't have been better the way Mike proposed to me, on the street, my block where I grew up and where I used to play when I was little. When I move from there, I will never forget what happened on the night of July 26th, 2006.

we were watching friends one night (where monica proposes to chandler) amd he said thats nice
so a few nights later i did the same thing..candles everywhere and got down on my knee..i didnt want to wait anymore since getting married next feb was so important to me
Christmas morning, we were opening presents and in a shirt box was a card, the card read 'I dont want you to remeber christmas as being in the hospital, lets remember it like this...' (last year I had to have an emergancy apendectomy on christmas eve) when I looked up he was holding the ring box
I got engaged on our cruise in the summer...it was formal night and after dinner he asked me if i wanted to go up to the top deck to watch the sun set...so we did and cuddled by the beautiful sunset and ocean..I turn around and he gets down on one knee and says ' i love you with all of my heart' will you marry me!?!? then he says several other times 'will you be my wife' I was on cloud 9 allnight..and we partied the night away!
