History

Disney parks began hosting weddings in September 1991. Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings & Honeymoons division was started in 1992, with 200 wedding by October 28, 1992. In 1995, the Wedding Pavilion opened. In 2007, Disney began offering commitment ceremonies for same-sex couples. Previously, the company only had allowed gay couples to purchase its wedding packages if they had valid California or Florida marriage licenses. Before the change in policy, gay couples were able to plan to have their own ceremonies at the resorts' rented meeting rooms. A line of Disney Fairy Tale Wedding gowns was designed by Kirstie Kelly and available in January 2008. The Magic Kingdom train station was added as a wedding venue in 2014 but only at 7:30 AM prior to opening. On April 29, 2016, weddings would begin to be staged during park hours, with the announcement of 9:30 a.m. ceremonies at the East Plaza Garden near Cinderella's Castle. Three more sites were added as wedding location options in July 2018. A '' Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings'' 90 minute special was announced on March 29, 2017 for Freeform. A series and another special for the show was ordered for Freeform. On October 10, 2019, it was announced that Season 2 of the series would be released in 2020, and would move from Freeform to Disney+.
