Our Disney Engagement Story

  This past Sunday, July 28, 2013, will always be a special day for us now. The day started off with a trip to the Magic Kingdom to spend the day with my best friend, Brenna, who was in town for the weekend. Little did I know this was all part of the big plan for later! The morning was spent exploring New Fantasyland, eating at Be Our Guest, and lots of catching up.

After a ride on the Carousel of Progress, Derek joined us in the park. We took a spin on the Tea Cups and then made a round trip on the Train.  

Up to this point we still had not gone on the People Mover, which is always a must do for us at the park! So we made our way onto the highway in the sky.  The ride started as normal, taking our usual fun pictures!

Looking back Derek seems to have something on his mind!

We entered the darkness of Space Mountain as usual. While in the darkness, Derek took the opportunity to get down on one knee. When we made it back into the light, I was surprised to see Derek down on one knee holding a glass slipper with a ring in it! It was a very magical moment. 

As we made our way around the turn Derek said some very sweet words that I don't remember and asked me to marry him. Of course I said yes! 

Brenna was in the car ahead of us to capture the whole thing! I am so glad she was there capture the happiness!

As we exited the ride, the Cast Member there was very excited and surprised to hear what just happened. The People Mover will always be our special ride now!

After the excitement of the proposal, Derek surprised me with cute shirts for us to change into to celebrate! We then headed to the castle to take some pictures.

The Glass Slipper! 

So glad Brenna was there to share in this special day!

After celebrating a little more in the park, we headed over to Kona Cafe for a celebratory dinner! It was our first time eating at Kona Cafe and we had a great experience!

            

     

We had an amazing meal at Kona Cafe. It is a great restaurant with many different choices. And the bread and butter are delicious! We asked for some to take home! After the great meal, we headed home and were greeted with a fun surprise from my family!

It really was a perfect day! I am so glad Derek decided to propose at a place that is so special to us and our relationship. We can't wait to start planning our Disney Wedding!
