A Disney wedding is already a dream come true, but one bride took it to an entirely new level—literally. Kelsey Culton, a devoted Disney fan, recently tied the knot in true Disney fashion and treated her wedding guests to an exclusive ride on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT. Imagine capping off your wedding night with a high-speed intergalactic chase through space—because that’s exactly what Culton and her guests got to experience.

Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings are known for offering enchanting locations and magical details, but Culton’s wedding included something most guests would never expect: a private attraction mix-in. This special add-on allows wedding parties to ride a Disney attraction privately after dinner and before dancing, typically as the last ride of the night. That meant her guests got to board one of EPCOT’s most thrilling attractions with no wait, no crowds, and a whole lot of excitement.
Attraction mix-ins like this are part of Disney’s premium wedding experiences and must be booked through Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings or Disney Meetings & Events. The cost varies based on the ride and number of guests, but past experiences show that it may be more affordable than expected. In 2023, one bride shared that a Soarin' Around the World buyout cost just $926, with Disney only charging for guests who did not have annual passes. While the price for a Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind buyout hasn’t been publicly shared, it’s likely a higher-tier attraction, making it an even more exclusive experience.
For Disney-loving couples who want to add a little extra magic to their big day, a ride mix-in can be an exciting way to surprise guests. This option is only available at the park where the wedding takes place, and it must happen at the end of the park’s operating hours. That means couples planning a Magic Kingdom wedding could mix in a ride on Seven Dwarfs Mine Train or Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, while an EPCOT wedding might include Frozen Ever After or Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure.
Beyond private attraction mix-ins, Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings offer a variety of breathtaking venues and unique experiences. Couples can exchange vows in front of Cinderella Castle, say “I do” under the floating mountains of Pandora in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, or host a reception at Tower of Terror in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Resort locations like the Disney Wedding Pavilion at the Grand Floridian or the romantic boardwalk at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club also provide stunning backdrops for Disney-inspired nuptials.
For those looking to go all-out, Disney weddings can also include grand entrances in Cinderella’s Coach, appearances by Mickey and Minnie, private fireworks viewings, and even customized dining experiences featuring Disney-inspired dishes. These one-of-a-kind details make Disney weddings truly unforgettable, and Culton’s private roller coaster ride is just the latest example of how couples can create a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
A Disney wedding is already something special, but adding an exclusive ride experience like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind? That’s next-level magic. Culton’s guests got to blast off into the cosmos with Star-Lord and Rocket, proving that with a little Disney pixie dust, weddings really can be out of this world.
