For many big Disney fans, one of the most amazing things that could happen to you is receiving a proposal in front of a Disney castle. Or, really, anywhere at Disney. Surrounded by magic and happiness, and then having the person you love ask you to marry them. Then, you get to go around the parks as a newly engaged couple with Disney cast members and characters celebrating with you.
Those being proposed to at Disney are not the only ones who find it special. Disney guests love to watch a marriage proposal and then clap when the happy couple embraces. And one woman’s video of a Disney proposal will have you reaching for the tissues.
TikToker Jenny Tuell was visiting Disneyland one day when she saw a man get down on one knee and propose to his boyfriend. She immediately began recording, thinking she could show the couple the video. Then, to her absolute shock, the man being proposed to took a ring out of his bag, got down on one knee, and also proposed!
@jennytuell14 Congrats!! I got their permission to post and sent them my video 💕 #disneyland #proposal #doubleproposal #loveislove #disney #happiestplaceonearth
The happy couple was Samuel Bishop Macias and Javier López, who were visiting The Happiest Place on Earth from Mexico. They were so grateful that Tuell had captured the special moment and gave her a hug.
Lopez and Macias spoke to local news stations and said that neither one had any idea what the other was planning.
“I already had it planned but I never knew he [Macias] was planning the same thing!,” López shared. “When he pulled out the ring, I started crying and laughing at the same time. It was a beautiful moment.”
Macias agreed, telling FOX, “I felt very surprised and happy,” adding, “We both have wanted this for a long time.”
It is always exciting when guests get to witness a proposal. However, sometimes they see more than they bargained for.
One couple visited Disneyland Paris and the man’s proposal was ruined when a cast member stepped in between him and his bride-to-be, took the ring out of his hand, and escorted both of them from the area they were in. According to the man, he had received permission to be in the area from another cast member and was very angry about having the special moment ruined.
Thankfully, there are a ton of beautiful and fun proposals that also go viral. One couple was visiting EPCOT in Walt Disney World for Dapper Day, dressed in their fancy Encanto-themed Disneybounding outfits. The woman spins around and dances as her fiancé gets down on one knee. She quickly says yes and the happy couple celebrates.
Capture Your Special Moment
If you are thinking of proposing at Disney, then you may want to look into Disney’s Capture Your Moment photograph sessions. They are special private sessions with a Disneyland PhotoPass photographer. There are props, and you can go to several gorgeous locations around whichever Disney Park you are in.
Of course, you can always be impromptu and propose without any notice at any Disney PhotoPass location. They are stationed all throughout the Disney parks, and will happily take a ton of great photos as you get down on one knee. If you let the PhotoPass photographer know about your plans, they may even be able to help you!
On one of our trips during dinner at EPCOT we were eating at Tutto Italia and a couple got engaged right after we were seated. Luckily for them I happen to be a photographer and whipped out my pro camera and started taking pictures. Then I offered to go do a mini engagement session for them around the Italy pavilion. It was pretty amazing to be a part of a couples special day in Disney World.
