Posted at 12:47 AM EDT (0447 GMT)

May. 18th, 2005 -- Couples seeking a Chinese wedding with a touch of Disney magic can now have their reception at the Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel, but for a premium price. Prices per table range from about $1,470 to $2030.

The base package includes traditional Chinese foods. For an extra cost, the couple can add things such as appearances by Disney characters, Disney music, and tickets to the park for the guests.

The theme park says it has already received over 1,000 requests from interested couples. Many are from Hong Kong itself, although a few are from as far away as Korea. There will be no weddings on Sept. 12, the park's opening day.
