Today, Payton Johnson shares the story of her Wedding Pavilion ceremony and EPCOT Terrace des Fleurs celebration, complete with fireworks and a Guardians of the Galaxy ride mix-in! A lifelong Disney fan, Payton always dreamed of marrying at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion, and she and Hunter brought that vision to life with a relaxed, budget-savvy celebration at EPCOT that let them prioritize elegant décor, quality time with guests, and unforgettable experiences over a traditional reception. She shares how choosing a weekday wedding and a shorter event helped them save big while still enjoying fireworks and a private ride on Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind, plus why they skipped a standard rehearsal dinner in favor of a fun, personal welcome party playing mini golf at Disney’s Winter Summerland Miniature Golf Course—a nod to their very first date. Along the way, Payton offers smart planning tips, creative budget strategies, and insight into designing a Disney wedding that feels completely true to you.
