What More Could an Anglophile Want from a Disney Timeshare Vacation?
Tuesday, April 26, 2011
Great timing if you’ve planned an Orlando timeshare vacation this week, especially a Disney timeshare vacation, and you happen to be a devoted (or even mildly interested) anglophile.
For anyone who is British, loves all things British, or is just a romantic at heart and caught up in the excitement of the royal wedding, Walt Disney World has plans to make the Prince William and Katherine Middleton’s nuptials especially memorable.
With a nod to the power of social media, Walt Disney World Orlando has invited anyone interested in being a part of the royal wedding through a tweetup, to a Royal Sleepover. On Friday, April 29, starting at 4AM, registrants will gather at the Disney Wedding Pavilion, adjacent to the Grand Floridian, for what is being called, a royal tweetup.
Tweeters attending can watch the wedding broadcast live as well as view Cinderella’s Coach, which was built by Bennington Carriages, the coach maker for the Royal family. Between 4 and 8 AM, the tweeting early birds, will enjoy a English-themed breakfast. They have been encouraged to show up in a wedding gown, princess attire, or their pajamas, adding to the fun or at least the memorable moments of the event.
But in case you did not sign up soon enough to be part of Disney’s Royal Tweetup, there are other ways to experience the wedding during your Orlando timeshare vacation.
Royal Wedding Festivities during Your Disney Timeshare Vacation
The Dolphin hotel at Walt Disney World will begin airing coverage of the Royal Wedding on large screen TVs in its lobby. Starting at 5 AM, the event will be free and open to the public. A complimentary, English themed breakfast will be served. Wedding “guests” will also have the opportunity to view both a sugar tiara and a replica of the 18-carat sapphire and diamond engagement ring that Prince William gave to Kate Middleton, created by the Dolphin’s executive pastry chef, Laurent Branlard.
Even most guests onboard Disney Cruise ships will be able to view the royal wedding on large screen televisions. But if you are not headed for Disney, and still want a special way to commemorate this wedding experience during your Orlando timeshare vacation, the British-American Chamber of Commerce in Orlando will host a wedding viewing and tea at the Orlando Citrus Club from 3 to 5 PM on the afternoon of the wedding. The event is by ticketed admission only with all guests attending encouraged to wear their fanciest hats.
