Twenty-Five Years of Magic

We invite you to submerge yourself in a weekend of wonder as we commemorate twenty-five unbelievable years of marriage. This gathering is a tribute to our shared journey, uniting loved ones for a ocean-themed anniversary within the heart of Walt Disney World.

We look forward to a time where dreams drift on the sea breeze and joy is found in every wave.

Experience our milestone celebration with an unforgettable gathering beneath the sea, and other events over the weekend as well.

Anniversary Brunch at The Living Seas Salon

Monday, May 17, 2027
• 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. •
Epcot

This is the centerpiece of our celebration—a special gathering where an important part of our story  began.

We return to The Living Seas Salon for dining and dancing amongst the tides with an intimate view of the second largest aquarium in the U.S.

We can't wait to share this special moment with you in the very place where we first celebrated our wedding day twenty-five years ago.

Note that everyone who attended 25 years ago is welcome to join us again in 2027. If you have a family member who didn't get a Save the Date, it may be we just don't have their current address or the message got lost in the mail.  Please let us know! We want everyone who was there 25 years ago to know they are welcome to join us this time.

New friends are also welcome, of course. And if you were invited last time and couldn't make it, we hope you can join us in 2027.

No need for a park ticket to attend this brunch (you will only need a ticket this day if you plan to be in the park between the brunch and the dessert party).

 

We can't wait to share our love of this special place with you, whether this will be your first time there or if you are a return guest.

Special Events

Our weekend will include other events as well, including a private

Epcot Dessert Party and fireworks viewing --just as we did 25 years ago --

and an informal Welcome Gathering/Barbecue Mixer

at our Treehouse Villa at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort to kick off the fun. 

Other informal gatherings will include a water park day at Typhoon Lagoon and Sipping and Snacking around Epcot World Showcase.

 

Attend one event; attend them all!  It is up to you and your Mouseketeers!

Keep an eye on this website for updates and new information.

We will revise this site as plans are finalized--check out the Accommodations Options page and the Frequently Asked Questions for more information as well.

Early Bird Water Park Day at Typhoon Lagoon 

Friday, May 14, 2027 • 10 a.m. -? • Typhoon Lagoon

At Tom's request, we will have an informal meet-up at his favorite water park (weather permitting).

 

Grab your sunscreen and join us for a day of splashing, relaxing in the lazy river, and enjoying tropical vibes together.

Whether you're hitting the surf pool or chillin' in a lounge chair, it's going to be a fun-filled day under the sun with friends and family!

You will need  ticket for the water park for this day -- in the past Disney has included free water park admission for onsite guests the day they check-in; we will watch to see if this promotion is in place on our dates.

Dessert Party & Private Fireworks Viewing

Monday, May 17, 2027 • 7:30 p.m. • Epcot

An evening celebration with decadent treats and a special viewing of Epcot's fireworks show--Luminous: The Symphony of Us.

We will have a spot on the French Island (just like we did 25 years ago) to hang out and view the show.

No need for a park ticket to attend this party -- You're our guest this evening.

Sip and Snack Around the World

Sunday, May 16, 2027 • 11 a.m.-? • Epcot World Showcase

Another informal "join us if you like" event.

 

We'll take a leisurely stroll through Epcot's World Showcase, we will meet in Mexico at 11 a.m. and get started, likely ending at the Rose & Crown in the UK whenever we get there! We'll sample drinks and snacks from the pavilions as we journey around the lagoon.

It's the perfect way to soak in the atmosphere, share some tasty treats, and enjoy each other's company in one of our favorite spots.

Feel free to join us at any part of the crawl!  You will need to have a park ticket to join us. Participate as much or as little as you like. Sarah will provide lanyards so we can check off our countries! You will need an Epcot ticket if you plan to join us. Don't forget your ID, youngster!
