Awesome! That is so helpful! I was looking into the land/sea package as well. Would you recommend doing that for a honeymoon? Is the 3 days in WDW a "park hopper?"
Also, what surprises/gifts, if any, does DCL give for honeymooners? Thanks again!!
If I told you about anything "magical," it would spoil the surprise! I will say that just like at WDW, you can stop by guest services to get buttons that you can wear all cruise long. We had our honeymoon noted on our reservation and received a number of little surprises that felt quite special. Definitely attend "Match Your Mate" (like the Newlywed Game) in the adult club when it happens on your cruise...a honeymooning couple makes for a great pair of participants, and there are some cool prizes to be won (champagne, spa treatments, OBC). We also had our bride/groom mickey ears and wore them during the sail away party and on formal night - our servers ate it up on formal night in particular
There is also so much fun, romantic, adult-oriented stuff to do on the cruises that you'll feel special no matter what. I would highly, highly recommend doing brunch and/or dinner at Palo, and (if you're on the Fantasy) trying Remy as well...it's an unforgettable meal experience. Our special romantic splurge was a couple's massage on
Castaway Cay in a private massage cabana overlooking the ocean at Serenity Bay. NOTHING like getting a massage while hearing the gentle waves rolling in and feeling the sea breeze on your back! It's an expense we probably won't ever indulge in again, but it was so worth it for our honeymoon. If it's up your alley, the various alcohol tastings (they have a billion) are also fun and educational.
I would definitely recommend some time in WDW before your honeymoon if you can afford the time and added expense, and I would recommend doing the parks before the cruise. The cruise is so relaxing compared to the parks (especially when we traveled, in mid/late August!) - it made for a perfect change of pace.
3 days was really a great amount of time to get a flavor for the parks...as adults who tend to take Disney a little commando-like, we were able to fit a few things in at all the parks in within that time frame. We did get park hopper passes so we could specifically accomplish this. We really only spent two full days in the parks; on our first day, we flew out early, spent some time in Downtown Disney, and then kicked off the trip with dinner at the California Grill during the Wishes fireworks (so fun, and super-romantic!). DH had not been to Disney since childhood, and I promised him that he'd catch the bug on our honeymoon...which he definitely did! We were obviously not able to do anything and everything, but we did hit the major highlight rides everywhere and fit in a few good meals.
