  Hi Carrie!

  I just stumbled upon your blog and I’m in love! I’m trying to do a diy Disney wedding by having my ceremony at Swan and Dolphin, brunch reception at the Attic at boardwalk, and fireworks dessert party later in Epcot. I have a couple questions for you: I saw the food and beverage minimums for the Attic, but what is the price per person (will $1000 cover 10 people or 50?). Second, everything I saw for the fireworks dessert packages gives prices for the “escape package” wedding…. can a dessert party be booked without having a disney fairytale wedding? Thanks for your help with this! I’m so excited!!!

    Hi Shannon! I have interviewed several brides for the Disney Wedding Podcast who did exactly what you are planning. None of Disney’s venues have per-person food and beverage minimums, just an overall food and beverage minimum (which you could *think* of as per person by dividing it by the number of your guests, if you like.) The only time per-person minimums come into play is when you’re doing a Wishes Collection wedding/vow renewal. Dessert parties can also be booked through Disney Catered Events (321-388-8056), they are not exclusive to Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings. The two differences are 1) You may not wear your wedding gown inside the park and 2) you only have to pay a fireworks viewing fee ($15 each) for guests who do not have park admission. I have details on booking a non-wedding dessert party HERE. You might also be interested in my book, PassPorter’s Disney Weddings & Honeymoons, which includes info on planning a Swan & Dolphin wedding and complete pricing details for receptions and dessert parties (prices are the same whether you book through DFTW or DCE, with the exception mentioned above.)

  Hi Carrie, do you know if the floral slip covers can be taken off the chairs around the tables inside during an event? Also, I saw some banquet chairs with slip covers in these images. Is it possible to have different chairs brought in? http://planningitall.com/2013/07/09/the-attic-at-disneys-boardwalk-inn/ Thanks!

    Hi! They have historically said no to people asking about removing the slipcovers. They did just replace them with some less… loud covers, but either way, you really don’t notice them when you’re in the room. I thought it would look all grannyish, but it totally doesn’t. You can have chairs brought in, but if you’re intending to replace the slipcovered chairs, the furniture-removal fee can run into the thousands. Just adding chairs will be around $200 plus the cost of the slipcovers (or chiavaris or whatever you pick).

  Is there a minimum headcount for The Attic? It’s beautiful!

    Not really—as long as you meet the food and beverage minimum, you’re OK!

        It’s still $1,000 for events ending before 5pm and $1,500 after.

  Hi there,

  I just love The Attic at Disney’s Boardwalk inn, and I wish I could have my wedding there.
  We’re thinking about having a brunch with 30 guests (tops). Have you seen anything like that there?

  Thanks in advance.
  Best regards,
  Brunna
