Our Tower of Terror Anniversary Party

Click here for information on how this party was planned.

The whole evening was designed to be a sort of progressive surprise for my husband, with each new revelation building on the previous one. I was going for an Old Hollywood Glamour theme, so the first surprise was that I rented him a tux (MW Tux in Winter Garden) and me a fabulous sequined gown (RentTheRunway.com). I also hired Patricia LeJeune to do my retro hair and makeup around the time I realized there was absolutely no way I could learn to do finger waves in just 2 weeks!

The next surprise came when we got to the lobby of the Beach Club and Patrick discovered that our pals the Roots were in Orlando and would be joining us for the party!

We walked over to Bayside Marina, where I’d had to rent a less-than-Old-Hollywood-glamorous pontoon boat for our IllumiNations cruise because it turns out Disney has sold the retro-fabulous Breathless II runabout. Our driver was anxiously pacing the dock when we got there—the next surprise of the night was that our event manager gave me the wrong time and we were super-late for our cruise! Usually they take you all the way down to Hollywood Studios and around by the BoardWalk before tying up for IllumiNations, but he turned back when we got to the Swan and booked it for Epcot. It wasn’t a big deal cuz we were headed back to Hollywood Studios later anyway.

See how fast we were going?

We’d been on an IllumiNations cruise before and were not impressed. They tie up directly under the bridge between the UK and France pavilions, and while you are looking out toward the fireworks, it kinda seemed like they were at the end of a tunnel because of the bridge overhead and the waterway beyond. However, two nights before, Patrick and I had seen pontoon boats docked all the way up at the mouth of the lagoon, by the edge of the lower French Island terrace. When I asked our captain about it, he said it was a brand-new policy in the last month, and that they can only do it if they get the OK from higher ups (it has to do with wind and drifting ash from the show). He also said he’d only seen it happen about four times since they started.

So we were thrilled when he got the OK and moved our boat up to the very front, right at the edge of the lagoon. The view turned out to be SO much better there—almost inside the show, with shells exploding overhead and reflecting on the water below.


Where the pontoon boats usually park


Where they park if you’re lucky

We were also very fortunate to be in one of the two boats in the front row—two more were parked behind us—which, our captain said, is assigned before the cruises depart. Obviously, the whole show is overhead, so it’s not like there would have been people’s heads in our way, but it was nice to just turn slightly and have this entire show practically in our laps!

Now, I was thinking it would be fun to have some photos of us smooching in front of IllumiNations like at our wedding dessert party, but I hadn’t accounted for the fact that we would be, you know, ON A BOAT, which does not mix well with low light and camera tripods, it turns out. So after a couple of shots we looked at the Roots and the Roots looked at us and we all said, “Let’s just enjoy the show, shall we?”


“What’s happening? Is something happening behind us? It sounds like something’s happening!”

You’ve all probably seen IllumiNations a bazillion times, so I’ll save most of the photos for my full anniversary trip report and just put in some favorites here.

…OK, that was kind of a lot of photos… sorry! But at least it shows what kind of views you get from the new parking spot for cruises.

Because our boat was at the front, we got to hang out for a little bit as the park was emptying. Then the driver announced that we were going back to the dock to switch boats before cruising a little longer. I shot him a frantic look—earlier I’d cornered him and explained that the drop-off at Hollywood Studios was to be a surprise. But I think maybe the boat we were on wasn’t big enough to dock there or something, so back we went to the Marina, traipsing up over their little portable bridge in our finery and around the corner to another pontoon boat, this one tricked out with sweet neon “ground effects” (or whatever they call them when it’s a boat not a car) like the nautical equivalent of Tokyo Mater. Finally we were off to Hollywood Studios!

Waiting for us at the dock were an event guide, a park event manager and a couple other people who all welcomed us to Hollywood Studios and lead us into the park, down Sunset Blvd., and up the stairs by Tower of Terror’s gift shop exit.

To my surprise and delight, the event staff had set our table up right in front of the open lobby doors, instead of back in the dark corner where the event space technically is. Guess I didn’t need a light-up cake after all!

And then yet another surprise: One of the event staff invited us to step into the lobby, unhooked the velvet rope, and told us we could go take pictures on the set!!! Again, I’ll save most of these for the full trip report, but here’s a sampling:

Dinner was interesting. Our wonderful server was there when we needed her and gone when we didn’t. My hopes for the food soared when she brought out four beautifully plated salads, each bursting out of a hollowed-out tomato and garnished with a flower made of vegetable shavings.


California Greens with Choice of Lemon Vinaigrette and Avocado Cream Dressings

However the entrees had not been split for us and came out looking more like your typical convention-center food.

Beef Fillet with Red Wine Demi, Mashed Potatoes, Asparagus, and Roasted Tomatoes



Pacific Salmon with Lemon Butter, Mashed Potatoes, Asparagus, and Roasted Tomatoes and a side of Jiko White Cheddar Macaroni & Cheese

We found the food pretty underwhelming. Granted, it had been made in the Hollywood Studios’ central kitchen and shipped out to Tower of Terror on a cart, and then it sat around waiting for us to arrive and finish taking a bazillion photos. But the fish was dry and bland, and its accompaniments had been steamed into a soggy, homogenous mass. The “Jiko” macaroni and cheese tasted like it had come out of The Blue Box. Jensey very diplomatically compared their filet to the passable fare at Applebee’s, which made me smile because I use that name as a culinary insult.


At least Patrick was appropriately attired for dividing up our meal

I think we may have been running behind schedule, because there was only time for two photos of the cake before it was whisked backstage for cutting. Detail freak that I am, if I had known this was the last time we’d see it with fondant on, I would have insisted on time for more close-ups.

I thought they did a great job with the cake decorations, it was just the topper that didn’t come out quite like I’d imagined. I think if I’d had Patrick helping me with the concept illustration things might’ve been different. But I also wish I’d known that it wasn’t the Grand Floridian Bakery making the cake as they did for our last anniversary party. Our pieces came out sans fondant, just like at our wedding. What surprised me was receiving a totally naked cake in a box at the end of the night—all that work on the decorations and we didn’t even get to take them with us to admire later!

As the last fork hit the plate, our dishes vanished, our cake turned up in a box, and our chairs seemed to pitch us out of them as the park event manager looked at his watch and muttered into his radio. Guess we overstayed our welcome!

Farewell, Tower of Terror


Oh good—looks like they’re finally fixing up the place!

As we walked back down Sunset Blvd., our guide seemed to come up with as many ideas for photo ops as we did, and who were we to argue?

When they finally dragged me kicking and screaming out of the park, the event manager sighed with relief and radioed that the park was clear of guests. We were left to straggle out to the parking lot like tourists we were, but it was worth it not to have a town car waiting backstage in order to squeeze in a few more photo ops!

All in all, it was a wonderful evening and such a fun way to incorporate elements of our wedding with something new for our anniversary. I’d worried that, without a fireworks show during dinner, sitting around eating convention food in an empty theme park would be kinda, well, boring. But it actually felt really special and fun! And the very best part was that we got to share the occasion with the dear friends we’d made on our wedding day. I just don’t know how I’m ever going to top it next year. I wonder if they do private events at Applebee’s…

    Hi Carrie! I notice you mentioned the food was underwhelming for your awesome anniversary event. Will the food be the same if you were to have an event with Disney Weddings instead of Disney Catered Events? Can you do a buffet instead of plated? Also, I noticed in a previous blog post you had the pricing listed for your amazing Tower of Terror anniversary dinner. Do you know if pricing has risen and/or changed? Is the ride still the same cost as you posted? Lastly, do you have any tips or advice on how to talk to Disney Weddings to get this awesome location since some of the comments here are saying there aren’t having any luck? This would seriously be a dream wedding reception and I would love to know how to get it approved with Disney Weddings, so I wouldn’t have to go through Disney Catered Events. Thanks for answering all my questions and giving me tips! Your blogs are beyond helpful!

      Hi Lauren! It doesn’t matter who you plan the event through: The food is provided by the catering team at the location you choose. It’s been a few years, so the quality could have improved. But I also think it was a mistake to try to have a catering team attempt to replicate a Signature Restaurant dish—I dont’ know if they have access to the same quality of ingredients, frankly. Whether you can do buffet or plated depends on the venue you choose. Buffets are more widely available, so you should have no problem getting one here. I have updated the pricing in that post as it has changed over the years. The ride cost has also been updated. All prices can also be found in Chapter 3 of my Fairytale Weddings Guide. DFTW should have no problem with you requesting this location. It just needs approval from the park. I’m actually about to interview a bride who did her wedding reception here, and she had no issues (other than the awkwardness of having to wait til the park closed and having such a late reception).

    Hi! I bought your book last night and read it front to back (do you say that with a Kindle?) before I went to bed. 🙂 I am planning a wedding reception but through events at Tower of Terror. Thank you to you!!! I am still floating on air after I found this. I wasn’t even looking for wedding anything when I stumbled across your website.

    Did you use a Disney Photographer for these pictures? What should I tell the planner I am doing? What do you think I can get away with dress wise? How long was your event? I will be contacting a planner right after I post this. We are planning for fall. 🙂

      Congratulations on your wedding! We used Nathan & Jensey Root for these photos, our wedding photos and every other anniversary. Their work is like nothing Disney provides, and unlike with the Disney photographers you request, you are guaranteed you’ll actually have the Roots! You can bring in any photographer you want, you may just have to pay that $120/photographer escort fee mentioned in my book. Disney Catered Events doesn’t seem to enforce the fee as often as Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings.

      First, just to make sure: If you can afford a Wishes event through DFTW, you don’t have to have the ceremony through Disney, you can just have the TOT reception and pay only the per-person food and beverage minimum and the Enhancement Minimum. It would be a LOT easier than going through DCE. But if you need something more affordable—and can meet DCE’s new $3,000 or $3,500 overall event minimum—it can be a more economical way to do a post-wedding event as long as you are OK with forgoing the traditional wedding trappings.

      In that case, I would not use the word “wedding” at all when contacting Disney Catered Events because they will immediately shut you down and tell you that you must work with Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings. You don’t want to try to “sneak” a wedding with them either, but as long as you are OK with not having a traditional-looking wedding cake or, in some cases, wearing a wedding gown, then they’re perfectly fine with you doing an anniversary event or an engagement party. You can still have a cake, and you can still wear a white dress, you just need to make them more anniversary-ish. Frankly, with the dress, I would just not mention anything about it to the planner at all. There’s no requirement to tell them what you’re wearing. They’re not going to turn you away if you show up in something they might deem too wedding-like (although if you’re doing a ride mix-in, the ride operator has the right to prevent you from riding if the dress is ginormous and could be a hazard). And most DCE planners don’t give a hoot what you wear. But there are a few vigilantes who are really hung up on the whole wedding gown thing. So it’s safest not to bring it up at all.

      Our event lasted about 2 hours. You can have yours last as long as you like. Here’s an interview with a couple who did a non-wedding post-wedding Disney Catered Event at the Attic after an off-property wedding elsewhere: https://disneyweddingpodcast.com/2016/01/13/maitland-art-center-spotlight-lisa-will/

    Can you still do something like this? I went to Disney weddings, and Tower of Terror is not one of the locations. So how did you make this happen? By now, Disney has become really selective where you can get married

    • Carrie
      January 11, 2017

      Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings’ website doesn’t list half the places you can use for weddings and private events at Walt Disney World. That’s why I have this page cataloging as many of them as I can: https://disneytravelbabble.com/disney-weddings/wdw-venue-photos/ I know of at least one couple currently planning a wedding reception at Tower of Terror Courtyard. You just have to ask your sales consultant—they don’t usually volunteer the interesting locations because it’s way easier for them if you just get married at the Wedding Pavilion and have your reception at the Grand Floridian Convention Center.

      I always love a private dessert party! You can do one for just the two of you as long as you pay for 10 people Some of the smaller, 10-person locations are UK Pubside and Bonsai Terrace in Japan. More information here: https://disneytravelbabble.com/how-to/private-party/

    That is really classy! It’s so common for people to just take photos from google images and not even give a photo credit. It’s refreshing to hear people being respectful of digital content.

    Hey Carrie!

    You might already know this, but some photos of you and Patrick from your Tower of Terror dinner party were on a buzzfeed list:

    I thought it was cool and that I would share it!! I got excited when I saw the photos since I knew I had read about the event before!

    Carrie, I don’t understand: where does the fondant go?? How can the cake come out naked after cutting? They peel off the fondant in the process of cutting? This doesn’t make sense! How could your wedding cake have become naked also?!

    So worried. I don’t want a wedding cake to end up in just dry slices after cutting. I was really excited about the mini cake options, and was going to get two (we have a really small wedding ceremony in the works), but now that I’m looking at an Escape ceremony, there will be a real cake, and I’m just not even all that excited about it.

    And the fact that fondant and decorations disappear scares me! Where do they go?!

    • Carrie
      June 23, 2014

      Hi Sasha! There is always buttercream under the fondant, so the cake isn’t completely naked. I’m a frosting fiend, and I’ve never found it dry either. Disney just removes the fondant by default because most people don’t like the taste of it. If you want it left on, all you have to do is have your planner note that in the BEO. Plus, since you’re Escape, it’s not like they take the cake away to cut it like they do at Wishes events. They’ll cut it right in front of you, so you can always throw yourself in front of the cake to shield it if you see them starting to peel off the fondant. 🙂

    This is soooo freaking cool.. I must say we were on the fence about what “2nd” park to add for our portrait sessions. Mgm studios (sorry refuse to say hollywood) was the best choice we ever made. The photos came out wayyy better then our MK ones. Something about the old hollywood look you get, esp when the park is empty. Nothing compares. 🙂

    • lurkyloo
      July 9, 2011

      Great to hear your photos turned out so well! I think you’re right about the Old Hollywood look. As much as I grouse about DHS’—excuse me, MGM Studios’—lack of shade and rides, it is definitely a feast for the eyes.

    I enjoyed reading your review, what a wonderful anniversary gift! I noticed that you mentioned in your review that it costs $6,500 to buy out the TOT ride. Is this a possible wedding reception venue? If it is, does it cost $6,500 to buy out the ride plus food and drink minimums plus venue rental? Thank u in advance for any info! :]

    • lurkyloo
      April 10, 2011

      Yes—the $6,500 is only to keep the ride operating for your party. The venue rental and food and beverage minimums are on top of that. If your group is larger than 10 people, you’ll have to rent out the courtyard below the terrace, just outside the gift shop, which has a $2,000 venue-rental fee and an $850 food and beverage minimum. Hope this helps! 🙂

    What about an after hours party at the Animal Kingdom? It would be so different from everything else you’ve done, and I hear the park is BEAUTIFUL at night.

      April 5, 2011

      It’s definitely something I’m considering! We’ve only had a chance to be at AK after dark once, but we loved it! I just have to get over the idea that fireworks must be involved in the party…

  • Donna ~ Sherpasmom on the DIS
    March 17, 2011

    Hopped here because I’m in the middle of A Very Lurkyloo Christmas and couldn’t wait for a TOT terrace party review ~ I *LOVE* this venue, and now thanks to you Mrs loo I know how to save accordingly not only for my daughter’s wedding, but her 16th Birthday. She and I go to WDW at least 2-3x yearly and TOT is her fave ride ~ I think a surprise 16th here would be a scream….

    literally.

    I wonder if between now and then (she’s 8) I could get enough Disney Rewards points to spring for the ride being open, and would they let us ride it repeatedly as is our custom after getting our fill of 50’s Prime Time Fried Chicken?

    I like you and know am obsessed with Disney private events particularly with the Roots photographic flair…..this can’t be good for the college savings account! 😉

    Better hope my girl keeps making A’s.

      The complete pricing breakdown is here: https://disneytravelbabble.com/how-to/private-party/tower-of-terror-dinner/ We had to save up a little longer, but I did some calculations and figured out that the dinner itself was actually cheaper than doing a Fantasmic! dessert party, spending 2 hours on the Grand 1, or having brunch at the Attic!

      I’ll take a wad of cash! 🙂 Seriously, though, it would be fun to help you plan—let me know if you need any ideas! It’s just too bad Disneyland doesn’t have more small-group opportunities…

    Wow! Carrie, that was an awesome anniversary party. When I finally plan my wedding I need you to be right by my side. (Yes, it’s been 3 years since we met and I still haven’t received a ring!)

      I’ll be there for ya! (And don’t worry—Patrick was a slow-mover too… they’re the best kind!)
