First of all, you obviously met him while he was WORKING at Disneyland. That is fine, you have to meet your boyfriends somewhere*. But he can relax with the whole “back to the exact spot where we first met” stuff. “Back to the exact spot where I took off my Minnie Mouse head to have a quick cigarette and we first met.” Better. Second of all, large, extravagant, romantic gestures are charming and memorable TO A POINT. You want to propose on the Jumbotron? Propose on the Jumbotron. No one will say anything about it. “He proposed on the Jumbotron.” “OK!” But this is terrifying. Some middle aged lady dragging you around by the arm, another middle aged lady straight chasing you on her rascal scooter. No thanks.
“Not only do I not want to marry you, I don’t even want to see the rest of this play.”
But the real problems are much more deeply rooted. Like, he obviously loves musical theater so there’s going to be a lot more of whatever this is wherever this came from. And you should at least recognize that his apparent obsession with Disneyland has lasted well past the age where an obsession with Disneyland would be acceptable or appropriate. And also, well, I will just say it: your boyfriend seems really gay? Maybe he’s not gay! But you should just be aware that he seems very gay if you are going to spend all those Disney Dollars on a wedding! But the worst part: he clearly loves Improv Everywhere. Yikes. (Thanks for the tip, Chris.)

She looks mortified. I wonder if the divorce proceedings will have a jaunty tune as well.
I wonder if they had a song prepared for: “no.”
Not that I condone this kind of ostentatious douchebaggery at all, but as insufferable as this is, its obnoxiousness will probably pale in comparison to the ensuing 50+ self-styled internet comedians making corny homo jokes that will undoubtedly aggregate in this comment section in the hours ahead.
QUEER!
Well, looks like you were right.
Beard fail
Gay or not he isn’t that good of a singer, which I guess is why he works at Disney World in the first place.
If I were to imagine Hell, I’m pretty sure musical theater as a marriage proposal sung by frustrated former musical theater majors in Disneyland would be some Eighth Circle material.
Pretty sure Disney is taking notice to how well youtube and online video is reaching people… I’m sure this is fake.
Getting a camera setup in the apartment above the penny arcade in downtown disney where goofy’s mistress lives would require some connections.
It’s just offices up there. I mean the guy’s enlisted every other Disneyland employee to help him out anyway.
“Bum bum dum bum buuuum, budubum bum”
- your future husband’s proposal
“Bum bum dum bum buuuum, budubum bum”
- your future husband’s climax
This manages to make Disney World creepier. Well Done.
Please tell me this is a set up by Disney for the Disney crowds. Please tell me that.
looks fake (or too gay for a supposed hetero boy). the gayest place on Earth. even the straight marriage proposal are gay. that being said:
i didn’t have the courage to go past a couple of minutes but she did end up recanting her answer, right? or she could’ve just walked away. he was clearly too busy enjoying the power of Disney Magic to ever notice, anyway.
It’s not fake, actually. Believe it or not, I was actually there that night, but walked straight past it because I don’t believe in public proposals and it seemed so lame. But yeah, it was sadly real.
You know what? You all are jerks. If these people are in love and this is what they like to do, and this is how they do it, then good for them. It takes all kinds! Congratulations John and Erika!

Well obviously this video is wince-worthy if you’re not really into musical theater and showy, uncomfortable proposals involving a cast of middle-aged women in artifice-heavy places associated with children, but I guess there’s something special and magical about proposals for me, awww, so I think twice before calling people gay just because they’re prancing and singing. A lot of people prance and sing! That said, there’s probably a 60% chance this is fake.
I don’t care if he’s gay or not. The girl must know what she’s getting into (I hope so anyway) But that is just not cool to put a girl on the spot like that. I couldn’t make it past 20 seconds into the singing. I’m not a musical theater nerd but I can enjoy a good musical (Sweeny Todd, Dr. Horrible). This is unbearable though. I’m conflicted. The girl has known him for a year so I have to assume she’s accustomed to this stuff. But still, UHG!!! Don’t put a girl in that position. He’s made it more about him than her. Proposals should be to make her feel great, not embarrassed to death of your need to be the center of attention all the time.
Cmon Gummers! Where’s the “if this is the proposal, wait til the film of the honeymoon!” jokes? Oh.
The proposition could’ve really used some fake rapping
I wonder if he worked as Prince Charming.
Please don’t lump this guy in with musical theatre majors. He gives legit actors a bad rap.
That being said, I wish I had been cast as the scooter lady. Somehow I missed that open call on backstage.
Speaking of Improv Everywhere…

They really need to change their name to Trolls Everywhere.
And THIS is what happens when you raise your kids on nothing but Disney classics. They turned into repressed homosexuals(Sorry- but your fiance is gay) who prance around Disney Land with their very own Belle. Also, that woman on the scooter was straight up terrifying.
does this summer’s disney blockbuster feature middle aged women in hoveround scooters? where was mickey? a dude dressed up as aladdin? I WANT TO SEE SOME BIG NAMES.
Make as many jokes as you like, the girl is hot.
I don’t know. it seems a little rehearsed.
WHAT THE EFF? okay, okay, proposing in Disneyland is fine. that’s nice, maybe even sweet. but to then ACT (… or something like that) afterwards? I would dump him on the spot. As they say in Spanish, como se dice “loser?”
I respectfully disagree: proposing at Disney World = Not Fine. Odd. The only POSSIBLE redemption may be the prospect of getting a free wedding or something from Disney. These hard economic times call for creativity. Though I fear the proliferation of these grotesque proposals if Disney kicks in the cash.
The rehearsals for this must have been weeeeeeird.
Ok that was legitimately terrifying.
I was gonna say horrifying, but terrifying works too.

I believe that this has been thoroughly debunked as a pre-choreographed marketing ploy made by Disney. So, don’t worry all of you that are terrified, it is indeed fake. Of course, no hard news sources to debunk, but some info at the end of this article:

True! And well put. Reminds me of this nightmare: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXnDAPOxIKw
I couldn’t watch that whole thing… there’s no chance she rejected him in the end is there?
does anyone else think it’s kind of gross he pulled her ring out of dustpan?
I had a roomate in college who would proabably love to be that girl. That being said, she was 26 and still wore little girls hanes Disney princess underwear. And that wan’t even the creepiest part.
For Real.
girls (and guys, for that matter) who are into Disney past age 10 or 11 are the absolute WORST. you may as well just throw in morbid obesity and horseback riding lessons and matchbox twenty CDs by default.
Were there multiple cameramen to capture that moment, or was that spliced together from surveillance video?
say what you will this guy is going to be an awesome dad to some lil’ kidlets (until they become teenagers and he’s still trying to pull this shit @ a 17th birthday party
…)
also – lmao @ “driving off in the sunset on mr. toad’s wild ride”
Yeah, I pulled my wife’s engagement ring out of a paper cup in a janitor’s waste bin too.
Is this one of those anti-drug commercials? “If you’re not in control, then who is?”
He’s going to insist she sobs in key during his musical number titled “I’m In Love with My Gym Trainer (Part 2)”
Jokes and jokes and jokes and jokes…and proposals?
The only parts of that I enjoyed was the scooter woman with the lit up scooter and the girl at the end …”its not every day you see someone getting married on main street”
In Disney Land little girl, dreams come true. and everyone is insane.
Have fun at dinner.
But hs he shot himself in the face like good ol’ JetEngineJesus…?
Shit, I wish he was my boyfriend!
I can’t wait to see the song and dance number he comes up with when he asks for a divorce in 3 years time.
The part that seems the most real is the girl… first she covers her face in emotional shock, then embarassment, then horror. Seemed pretty real to me. Although she didn’t bolt away from the Rascal Scooter like most people would have…

I am ashamed to say that this would totally win me over. Whatever, I can love Disneyland. Eighteen is so not to old. Right guys…?
Mickey Mow-us?
Hmmm.
Die.
I guess it’s all fine if you’re into that sort of thing, but she looks mortified! Like, “I wish he would shut up so I could kiss him and celebrate our engagement together” and he’s all “nope, MORE SINGING”
Agree with PC Bowen — this is narcissistic.
I feel uniquely qualified to comment on this one, considering I was friends in high school in Orange County (where DisneyLAND is, as it says in the beginning of the video, not DisneyWORLD in FL) with several repressed homosexual men who were into drama, choir and musicals.
This guy is one flaming homo! Look how instead of kissing, making out, or whatever heterosexuals do to be physical affectionate with his new fiance after she accepts his proposal, he waves and thanks the crowd! What the fuck!
That said, if that guy was proposing to his flamingly queer boyfriend instead, I probably would have loved this.
You marry me, you marry my whole jolly troupe, baby.
A friend of mine sent me a link to this. As soon as I saw the title of the video I apple w’d. Don’t need to watch it to know it was the Worst.
Ok, time to breath easy: It’s definitely fake. Found this article from the OC Register website that just went up yesterday: http://ocresort.freedomblogging.com/2009/07/09/disneyland-gets-viral-with-elaborate-fake-marriage-proposal/11519/
Of course, this raises the question of what’s worse: One poor deluded chump with a really douchey idea for a marriage proposal, or a big-ass corporation with a really douchey idea for a FAKE marriage proposal?
Is this guy proposing to himself? Because that’s the only person he really loves. Best bit is 3.55 where she goes to kiss him and he’s like ‘not yet, the performance isn’t over’.
This is the single most horrible thing I have ever seen. Worse than 9/11.
you know that other musical wedding thing? where the brides gay best friend makes a musical toast? that was kind of cute. you know why? because it was obviously rooted in years of friendship and love, and it was at a gathering full of people that knew her.
this disney one feels really awful because its not about them, its about this guy freaking out the crow. and if it is fake, they should have paid the girl to look charmed instead of annoyed.

i mean i wouldnt want somebody to do that for me, but it doesnt feel as pukey as this does.
i love how she said “its not every day you see someone get married on MAIN STREET” as if that a real fucking street. it also implies that people go there enough to think they live there otherwise she’d have said “disneyland.”
He’s clearly not gay, because only straight people can do so much to ruin marriage.
viral. that is all
what music he played on the musical? i want to do the same with my girlfirend
