We went to WDW for our 30th last year. I ordered a package with bride
and groom ears, our favorite rose sparkling wine, cheese crackers and
Mickey champagne flutes
<http://www.flickr.com/photos/barrywallis/4451662393/>. They had it
waiting on the bed when we checked in. If you are interested you can
find it here:

We wore our ears the entire trip (the groom ears were effective at
keeping the rain at bay). While we were waiting at the turnstiles for
Animal Kingdom to open a CM asked us if were just married. We told her
it was our 30th wedding anniversary. She asked us if we wanted to help
open the park. We were thrilled. She took us inside to the guest
relations office, gave us each an instrument and explained what we
needed to do (stand inside the front entrance and shake the instruments
while they announced who we were, what we were celebrating and that the
park was open) when they were ready to open the park. They took our
photo <http://www.flickr.com/photos/barrywallis/4783530891/> and we got
a voucher to get a free copy. They also gave us each two free Fastpasses
for Expedition Everest (actually they were for whatever we wanted but we
only wanted EE).
