If successful, the wedding gown line could soon expand to include other Disney Princess-branded fashions and home furnishings for adults.
"If it really is the lifestyle opportunity that we think it is, then it really opens up possibilities ... beyond the day of the wedding," Calhoun said.
The company was encouraged to delve into the high-end wedding business by the 2,000 weddings it hosts each year at its U.S. resorts -- Walt Disney World and Disneyland -- and its cruise line, according to McFann.
Disney hopes to capitalize on soaring demand for destination weddings, in which couples and their guests turn their nuptials into wedding-vacations that often take place at resorts in tropical locations.
The Parks and Resorts division glitzed up the 16-year-old Fairy Tale Weddings program this year by hiring celebrity party planner David Tutera to design a "couture" line of decorations, floral arrangements and furniture for wedding packages that will start at $75,000.
"We have had ... couples that have been looking for an over-the-top wedding, and now we are going to offer that product to them," McFann said.
Standard Fairy Tale Weddings packages -- which include ceremony and reception costs and sometimes extras like rides in a Cinderella carriage, trumpeting heralds and appearances by Mickey and Minnie Mouse in formal attire -- start at $4,000 but average $27,000, about the same as the average wedding budget in the United States.
