My hubby and I are going to WDW for our 10th anniversary

[Goofyfan]

My wife and I celebrated our 25th at WDW. She decided on the marakeesh for our dinner. The lamb Shank was soooooo good. I surprised her with a cake that was brought out by the staff. That was kind of special. For us, just being at WDW is special enough for us.

Don't forget that you and mom got those cheesy...um...I mean cute matching t-shirts made for the occasion too. Okay...maybe I am just teasing you. They are a sweet idea to remember the occasion and you and mom had them personalized.

LOL. Come on. those were cute... And we still wear them.... We will have to get you one...

Spend an evening siting on the beach at the Poly and just watch the castle turning colors. If you stay late enough you can see the electric water pagent and the fireworks. It's a very relaxing and romantic place to spend some time.

+1 RE: Poly at night. My wife and I were married there so it has a special place in my heart. It is awesome at night with the lush vegetation and tiki torches. Get there early and try to get a hammock on the beach to watch the MK fireworks and Eletric Water Pageant.

Another idea is to try the Tomorrowland Terrace Fireworks Dessert Party. It is $15 per person and offers a great view of Wishes.

Do they still have the Dessert party? That sounds like a great price

It probably hasn't changed all that much since then...at least the floats haven't as far as I know.

That's great that you are able to head to WDW for your 10th anniversary figmentaholic! The rumors of free dining have been flying fast and furious lately so maybe that could help you out if that falls during your trip.

Do you each have a favorite character? You could make sure you each get a picture with that character. Or an attraction you both enjoy? If it is an attraction that has an on-ride photo, you could maybe splurge on a picture to remember the occasion ~ or even better, if you timed it right, you could smooch right as the flash bulb goes off?!

You definitely should mention your anniversary when you make your ressies for hotel and any ADRs. They might have a surprise for you like a free dessert or appetizer. And you can always sport your Happy Anniversary buttons in the parks. Just hearing lots of people wish you a happy anniversary should put a smile on your faces

Hmm.. well considering we are going to most likely use the dining plan, that might but a kabash on free meals, because don't you have to tell them when you sit down that you are using the dining plan?

His favorite character is Dale, and mine is Figment, unfortunately Figment isn't around any more... but I am sure that we are going to eat at the Garden Grill, that is one we both love. And we both love Le Cellier as well, but its hard to get a reservation there.

Most of the rides that have picture options are the scary ones that I dont like.. I know the old Test Track used to have a pic option... I can ride that.. does anyone know if the new Test Track still has it? If so, that is the only option I can think of.. are there any other non roller coasters that have pics?

I am planning to tell the hosts/hostesses when I make reservations. For the hotel I will have to remind my travel agent to tell them when he makes the reservations I guess, and I am guessing there are anniversary buttons at the entrances of the parks, at customer service?

Definitely tell them when you MAKE the reservations, and not when you check in with your host or hostess. I made this mistake when we ate at the Cristal Palace, and it was my nieces sister-in-law's 15th birthday. They weren't doing anything special for her and I wanted to do a little something. I left the table, and approached a cast-member who seemed thoroughly ticked off that I would be asking for anything special at such short notice. I wasn't asking for anything huge, like the full cake and the big birthday hat. I just wanted her to have a special dessert with maybe a candle on top. Well they did agree, and they brought a cupcake with a card signed by all the characters. Even at 15 yrs old, she protected that card like it was worth a million...it was very sweet. I have read so many stories of cast members doing surprise, spur of the moment things for people, and it really bothered me that they seemed so uncaring and bothered.
