Disney Bride Under Fire For Picking Mickey and Minnie Over Feeding Them

Disney is becoming more and more infamous for their increasing prices and cash grabs and their wedding packages are pretty much unattainable for most people. Now a Disney bride has put herself in the crosshairs after she posted an AITA (Am I The A**hole) on Reddit asking if it was wrong of her to use the money budgeted to feed guests to book two 30-minuite sessions with Mickey and Minnie (for her and her fiancé/husband.)

Here’s what she said in the original post that has been taken down:

AITA for not having catering at my wedding?

My (F28) and my fiancée (M30) just got married two months ago and we had our dream wedding. Everything was perfect, and I mean everything. My parents and his parents helped us pay for a great chunk of the wedding so we would be debt free and we are so eternally grateful for that.

The issue arose about a month and a half ago when my aunt started posting on facebook about how disappointed she was with the whole ordeal and a few guests sided with her.

Background-my fiancée and I are huge Disney fans, and we travel to Disney World as much as we can throughout the year. Disney is such an important part not only to us, but also our marriage.

The issue was with our decision to not offer catering services/bar services at our wedding due to routing the money towards having a Wedding Minnie and Mickey make appearances at our special day. The cost to have both Minnie and Mickey for a good chunk of time (30 minutes) was almost exactly what our parents allotted for our catering budget, so we scheduled an appearance during our first dance and our wedding photos, forgoing served food (though there were PLENTY of facilities at the venue where people could eat…).

My parents were still very supportive of us, but everyone is else is being passive aggressive about it on Facebook. AITA?

EDIT (Info): To those asking if the guests were “warned”, we CLEARLY outlined in the invitations that there was food available at the venue. We didn’t exactly spell out every restaurant’s MENU, but it was certainly mentioned. There were also vending machines available throughout.

EDIT 2 (Info): for everyone saying that’s it’s too much for 30 minutes, I want to clarify that it was two(2) 30 minute sessions on different days. $2750 was the cost for one session.

I mean it is their wedding so they can spend the money how they would like to spend it, but after people traveled all that way it’s understandable why they were upset. Also instead of feeding guests they used the over $5,000 budget for two 30 minute photo sessions with Mickey and Minnie for just them. It costs how much to have characters stand there for pictures?

Twitter has thoughts (since Reddit took it down):

 

 

It goes on and one. The Reddit post was the same, until they removed it.

I think it is ultimately up to the bride and groom how the wedding goes. However, if you are expecting people to pay Disney prices for their stay and flights, you could at least have given them food. Or cut it to one character session and pay the difference for food.

I hope they didn’t ask for gifts too
