Rehitchin' Ceremony @ Garden Grill About This Page:

[goofysdtr]

I was reading a posting earlier (can't seem to find it now [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] ) about the Rehitchin' ceremony @ the Garden Grill and was wondering if anyone could tell me a little more about it. I think they said that you just let them know when you show up for your reservation. Is that all there is to it? Do you have to be having an anniversary or can just anyone choose to do it? Thanks for the help. [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Hi Heidi - I haven't done the ceremony but I'm sure anyone can do it - anniversary or not(and I think a few on the boards have). The ceremony is different for everyone depending on the cast members you have that day I think.

Try doing a search on the boards for "Rehitchin", I bet there will be some info there. The search option is in the upper right hand corner.

Have a good day!

I don't think you have to be having an anniversary to partake in this. Here is the thread from earlier today with a few links that should be helpful! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] I know that Bert & Sully (Elaine) did this in the Spring - she should be along to tell you the whole scoop or if she doesn't respond, perhaps you can send her a PM.

Have fun! [img]graemlins/wavin.gif[/img]

Thanks so much for the information! It has been a HUGE help! Just one more question that I didn't see addressed . . . do you know if there is a cost involved (& if so, how much?)

It didn't cost DH and I anything except the price of the meal. It was so much fun! Hope this helps!

My DH and I just had the Rehitching Ceremony in July. We were down at WDW with our kids and grandkids. I thought it sounded like it would be fun to do with the whole family there. We are married 33 years, and no, it wasn't our anniversary at the time. Everyone knew about it except my DH. He was a little embarrassed, but I think he liked it. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] The manager of the Garden Grill performed the ceremony and Mickey and Minnie stood up with us. We had to kiss to the count of 100, and I must say it was the only bad kiss my DH ever gave me in 35 years! He said he was nervous - I thought it was funny. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] We were given a Rehitching Certificate and a cake for our family to enjoy. No extra charge for any of this. Go ahead - do it! Just tell them when you make your PS and remind them when you go to check in for dinner. [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img]

Hi
We did the Rehitching cermony on our last trip.

Do it do it do it. It was so much fun.

We even have it on tape. One of the cast members saw my video camera and picked it up and got it on tape.

I have to admit the cake we got was the best cake we have eatten. I even tried to get the recipe when we got home.

OK, here is my "standard" reply to this question,

originally from the PARTEE report:

We were getting hungry so we headed over to the Land. The Garden Grill didn't look busy, so we went up and told the CM there that we had missed the Re Hitchin' on Saturday and could we do it today? She said that of course we could and we headed into the restaurant. We walked and walked past many empty tables, I can only guess that she wanted to make sure that we were seated in the area that was governed by Rick, a yet another flamboyant-Elton John sort of looking, not so young CM. After we were seated with our ears on, he came over and took our drink orders, beer for Richard, wine for me. He asked us if we wanted to 'git' re-hitched and we said yes and he said OK! But, first we had to have our lunch. Which was pretty good, we had salad, sunflower seed bread and cinnamon-honey butter, Mickey Mouse came over and kissed my hand with a real kissing sound and touched my ears and Chip and Dale kept sneaking by and acting wierd, but didn't really stop to talk with us. Then we had catfish, BBQ flanksteak, turkey with stuffing, mashed potaotes, carrots and string beans, and Mickey came over again. whew! Just when we were feeling more than full, Rick bounced over, he was a really sort of bouncey fellow, with Mickey and Chip & Dale and a couple of cm's, which we gave our camera to since we had forgotten the video camera and He said, get up! Which we did immediately and he started yelling at the top of his voice, Mr. & Mrs. Chandler, (I don't ever remember telling them our names, so they must have gotten it from the PS from Saturday, because we were shocked!) you have been living in sin for 27 years. I just wanted to crawl under the table, but I was laughing so hard, that he said "this is serious!" He then jumped up on the bench of the booth and started shouting " Mr. & Mrs. Chandler, you have been living in sin for 27 years, you are not really married until I, Rick, your Preacher, perform this fancy, spiffed up, go-to-town rehitchin ceremonie! Then he said, Mrs. do you? and Richard said I do, and Rick said are you Mrs.? and we laughed and Rick said Mrs. do you? and I said I do, and Rick said Mr. do you, and Richard said I do, and Rick said now you have to kiss for 100 seconds, so we did and we started laughing, and Rick said no laughing, this is serious, start over, so we did and after he was satisfied and had counted to 100, we stopped kissing and my ears fell off and over the railing of the spining scenes that spin around as you are eating. I started to lean over the railing to get them and he said, allow me and he leaped over the railing and picked them up. At that time another CM, whom I assume was the manager hurried over and said, what are you doing? and Rick said she dropped her wedding ears and I went to get them, so he turned around and went back to where ever he had been. So, then they let us sit back down and the characters came back and hugged us and patted our ears. Rick came back and asked us if we were ready for dessert, we said yes, expecting strawberry shortcake and they bought us a little cake with Mickey on it and congratulations!, so we took a photo of it and cut it and we each ate a piece and it was very good, they put it in box and we took it with us. I really only took it so that I could keep the thing that was on top of it with Mickey on it, but it melted and I had to throw it away. They also gave us a certificate with Mickey & Minnie dressed in their go to town, re-hitchin outfits which says:
To all them thar that reads this Mr & Mrs. Chandler had one fancy, spiff'd up go-to-town, re-hitchin ceremonie at the Garden Grill
signed by Rick, the Preacher, Mickey the Best Man and Minnie the Maid of Honor. Too funny! We then left the Garden Grill and took off our ears because Richard was embarrassed and wouldn't wear them in the parks.
