A visit to Disney’s Wedding Pavilion at the Grand Floridian

A walk around the Walt Disney World Resort can result in numerous surprises and one is the opportunity to walk out and see the Wedding Pavilion at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa.

Much of the time, the fences leading to the pavilion are locked, but there are times it is open and you can walk over the footbridge to the chapel and get a closer look. You won’t be able to go inside the building, they do keep that locked, but you can look through the glass doors.

Victorian spires, airy vaulted ceilings, a cupola and a wall of arched windows house the non-denominational chapel.

A walk down the 75-foot aisle takes you to the alter and behind the alter is an arched window framing Cinderella Castle.

Opposite the chapel are vestibules for both the bride and groom for last-minute preparations. Greeting the guests is a climate-controlled solarium.

The small island has a boat dock (I suppose if you really wanted to make an entrance, or exit) gardens and another special photo opportunity.

The Picture Point, an arch located outside of the pavilion was designed by Disney Imagineers to mirror the inside arch way – frame the Cinderella Castle.
