Hi everyone,
I'm often on the disboards but new to this thread! Here's some background:
My FI and I are getting married in his hometown of Maine (we live in LA) on August 16. We're paying for the wedding ourselves, so we recently decided to put off a honeymoon until next year.
My FI LOVES disney. I do too, but he is just in love. We have been going every summer, but after this summer's trip we decided to do Disney every other summer so we could travel to other places. Here comes the fun part! I've booked a surprise honeymoon to disney!
We are using frequent flyer miles to get from LA to Maine. When we decided to put off the honeymoon until next summer, I told FI that next summer was supposed to be our Disney summer, but we'd have to give it up for the honeymoon (Ireland) and he was so bummed! I decided to call Delta to see if we could add a leg onto our flight without having to pay more $ or miles and we could! So I booked a flight from Maine to Orlando instead of going straight home to LA! And it's all first class! Then, I got a great rate at the Polynesian for 4 nights so I booked it right away.
My godmother has a condo in Fl, so I have "surprised" him by telling him that we're taking a few days to spend time at cocoa beach before we head home. My plan is when we get to the Orlando airport and head down to "pick up the rental car" (which is in the same place as the magical express) I am going to suggest that we go to Disney instead! I can't wait to see his face!
So, I have a few questions. I didn't know that there was a special Disney Honeymoons site to book through so I did it through the normal reservations. Is there some benefit to booking through Disney Honeymoons?
Also, we aren't going to arrive at the Poly until around 7pm or so. Will all the nice rooms be taken? The reservations agent noted that we will be on our honeymoon, but should we also make a room request?
And last, we are on the regular dining plan but should we splurge for the deluxe? We don't eat a ton during the day, but it might be nice to go to some signature restaurants for dinner. What are you doing?
