For Megan and Lake, it was important to have a Disney wedding that offered scenic views, incorporated their love for water, and allowed for lots of quality time with their family and friends. Making Disney Cruise Line the perfect wedding destination.

A fairy tale surrounded by white sands and ocean waves.

Megan and Lake chose the Disney Dream to host them and their family on their wedding cruise. Sailing from Port Canaveral to the Bahamas and Disney’s Private Island, Castaway Cay which would be the backdrop to their picture-perfect wedding ceremony.

“It was so important to Lake and I that we had our close family and friends with us. We also really wanted to show who we are as a couple in the wedding. A Disney Wedding aboard the Disney Cruise Line was the perfect way to bridge those things together.”

A romantic water-front wedding ceremony

Their wedding day started with getting ready in their stateroom, then boarding a private tram to their Disney wedding venue, Wedding Pointe on Castaway Cay. The secluded dock adds a level of privacy to your wedding event, with the breathtaking backdrop of your Disney Cruise Ship and the clear ocean waters. Their wedding ceremony was full of smiles and laughter, and a little bit of wind.
