I will make sure to look for the person with a fondue pot on their head!!

Chocolate covered strawberries are YUM!! When DH and I were at Disney for our Honeymoon, DMIL sent us the tuxedo ones with a big mickey chocolate statue!! It was awesome!! That would be awesome if they had them on the dessert buffett!!

If you go to Hoop Dee Do, you will have to let me know how it is. We are always thinking about booking it, but never do because of DH's phobia of shows. I'll bet its cute though!!

 

[disney honeymooners]

Yeah i bet the fondue pot on your head would be a uniquie fasion statement.
Your DH may have a phobia of shows but the ones on the ship (i feel) are really great and since we are on second seating dinning we can she the show before we eat.

 

[m_kasch]

Oh don't worry, we have already discussed the shows on the ship!! I told him that he doesn't have a choice because this is the first vacation that I have picked all on my own that we have gone on ever!! Not that I don't like Disneyworld, because I love it, but it is nice to try something different!! And since I will be spending the entire next week in a villa with his whole family...well, he owes me!!

 

[jenny105]

We're definitely going to see the shows! I'm lucky that my DBf enjoys anything Disney related as much as I do. He just lets me handle all the planning and scheduling.

Mary, I see you've stayed at POR before. It'll be my first time there. How is it?? I always ask everyone for feedback.

Look for the girl with the fondue pot on her head!

 

[m_kasch]

I have stayed at POR twice before, it is very nice! I like the food court, and the landscaping there is beautiful. I also really like the boat ride to downtown disney, especially because you float past the famed treehouse villas (which are opening up again this summer/fall -- so exciting!!). I still haven't stayed at the FQ, but want to. There are more water view rooms there since a lot of the buildings sit along the "river". We have a friend that works at Disneyworld (great perks!!), and she floats between POR and POFQ. She works at the concierge desk. She really likes working there!

 

[jenny105]

Did you use the buses while you were there? I've heard they can cause issues. It's not a big deal because I'll have my car but I was just wondering.

I stopped by to have a look around the last time I was in WDW and it's beautiful! I took the launch from DTD and I saw the treetop villas. I would love to stay there when I have the $$$! My DBf prefers taking the buses but I always like taking the boats when I can. It's more relaxing!

 

[disney honeymooners]

Mary i have stayed at POFQ and it is great you can never tell that the resort is crowded because of the way it is set up and the food court it WONDERFUL!! if you ever get the chance to stay there you have to get an ice cream sandwich they are HUGE!! and great.
I am glad that i will only have to ride the buses to DHS(MGM!!) and AK which is nice i think my DFi will be spoiled staying on the monorail system.

 

[jenny105]

Note to self: Walk next door to POFQ and get ice cream sandwich. I live on those Chip-wiches when I'm in WDW.

 

[disney honeymooners]

i couldn't finish mine. i also have a note for myself and that is to get tonga toast everyone says it is somthing that you have to try atleast once if you stay at the Poly. I have seen it on the dis food pictures boards and it is HUGE!! i know that if i do get it i will not be able to finish it. Well atleast with yalls resort you can request a room with a king sized bed the only ones at the poly that have king sized beds are the suites and there is no way i am paying that much extra for a larger bed rather than 2 queen beds.

 

[jenny105]

I'm good either way. I actually like having two beds because I just put all of my stuff on the other one so it's in easy reach!

And remember to get a shaved ice at Japan!!

 

[disney honeymooners]

oh yes i have made a list of stuff people on the boards have told me to do that i haven't done so far its a short list but i am gonna try and do anything people tell me is fun to do and that shaved ice shounded great the last time you told me about it.

 

[jenny105]

Make sure you get a rainbow one. It's the best

Anything you got for me that you've done but I haven't?

 

[disney honeymooners]

the only things i can think of is palces to eat that are great Ohana's @ the Poly and The Whispering Canyon Cafe @ WL (for breakfast). Also a great thing to do if you aren't gonna see Fantasmic is to ride TOT and RRC while everyone else is waiting in line for the show you can ride them each about 3 times before they actually open up the seating for fantasmic. If you have never ridden Splash Mtn at night you def need to do that it is really cool and the pictures look better. i am sure since you have been about as many times as me you probably know this.

 

[jenny105]

I think we're going to see Fantasmic since we didn't see it last time. And yes, I've ridden Splash Mountain at night and you're right, it's awesome. It broke down while we were at MVMCP and opened up after about two hours and we were the first people to ride it. We got our own log and we bought the picture because it was just the two of us! BTMR is also awesome at night!

 

[disney honeymooners]

Well we of course are going to do fantasmic but since we are doing the dinner package we don't have to be in line until 30min before the show starts so we could ride them each at least once. i got the t-shirt transfer paper to make our bride and groom shirts and i printed them last night but now i can't decide if i want to buy the polo shirts from disney with the stiched on character and bride or groom for us to wear on the ship or if i want to make one myself if you find any good looking images for honeymoon tshirts that i can use for the cruise email them to me thank you so much

 

[jenny105]

I'll keep an eye open for newlywed/honeymooner stuff. I don't know if you've seen this thread yet http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1820897 Maybe it will give you some ideas!

 

[m_kasch]

Well you girls are chatty today! I am hanging at my grandpas in southern IL today, where they had the big ice storm last week. There are trees down everywhere its insane! And now I'm trying to sleep but its super windy and I'm afraid a tree is going to crash down on me in my sleep or something. Good thing I have my blackberry and the disboards to keep me distracted! Have you ever watched Illuminations from Rose and crown? If you make a reservation near the start time, you can ask to eat outside. Last time we were right along the water and it was really awesome! The show looks so different and you notice all kinds of things you can't usually see. We thought it was really cool.

 

[disney honeymooners]

Yeah jen i have seen that board that is where i got the design for 2 of our shirts but i was trying to find one for us to wear when we get on the ship that have something to do with cruising honeymoon or bahamas honeymoon.
I hope you are doing well Mary and hopefully the trees will not fall we don't have any problems down here in Ga. The only problem i am having is that i can not stop coughing so my enitire chest and body aches from coughing i which it would stop.
Thank you Jen email me any images you find that you think would look good on a t-shirt for my honeymoon. Mary if you see any you can email them to me also @ daphnie1985@comcast.net Well my cough medicine is starting to work and i am having a hard time keeping my eyes open so i am gonna try and get some sleep.

 

[m_kasch]

Well, thankfully I made it out of my Grandpas without sustaining any tree damage!! LOL He lives in a super old farmhouse, and it is LOUD with all of the trees scraping on it and the wind blowing like mad...not to mention his is 91 and always cold, so his house is about 2,000 degrees. That and the fear of trees falling on my head made for excellent sleep!!

I hope you are feeling better, Lainey. Having a cough sucks. I had one around christmas-new years that would not go away, it was awful. I will make sure to email you if I come across any appopriate pictures!

All the talk of the shaved ice in Japan makes me laugh!! My BIL is OBSESSED with that stuff. He calls it by the technical name, Kaki Gori (or however you spell that) and gets very upset if you call it a snow cone or shaved ice. It is good though...I could go for one right now!!

 

[disney honeymooners]

Thank you Mary however my cough has not gone away it has gotten worse so i went to the Doctor today and found out that i have the FLU!!!! So I have to stay home in bed until my fever goes away and if i go out i have to wear a mask to prevent me from spreading it. The one year i forgot to get a flu shot!!!
I am glad to hear that you got out of there ok.
