Disney used to have a great Honeymoon plan

[Masonic Mouse]

Disney used to have a great Honeymoon plan. When I and my DSW (Dear Sexy Wife) went to WDW in 1991 for our 12 day Honeymoon we had a special Honeymoon package. On Check in we received Very nice Lady and the Tramp bags and in our room was a giant fruit basket full of GIANT fruit. Every day we got Continental Breakfast in Bed. For dinning we were given 3 dinner vouchers for what ever restaurant we wanted, and best of all no bride and groom ears.

Did anyone else have this plan?, and does Disney offer anyting like it still.

I wish they would at least have some sort of honeymoon package. You would think theywould considering how many honeymooners they get there now. Then again maybe that number is a reason not too.

Those packages were pretty funny. We honeymooned there in 2005 and we just planned it all ourselves, the honeymoon packages at the time didn't seem like anything we wanted. A lot of people gave us Disney dollars at the shower- which was an unexpected surprise and we loved it! I think Disney needs to make better packages rather than saying that the Jungle Cruise can be part of an adventure package- ha, that was funny.

We honeymooned there in '97. I don't remember anything particularly fantastic about our "package." We got a free picture with Mickey in front of the sickening looking birthday cake castle I don't remember who's birthday or celebration WDW was celebrating that year, but what they did to that castle made me want to toss my cookies. It was almost completely pepto bismal pink. Eww! I still get sick thinking about it. And we got a great coffee table book called How The World Began. That was it. The truth is, though, that I was so smitten with my adorable new husband that I didn't notice the lack of "perks" until you just mentioned it now.

We too Disneymooned in '97 with the dreaded pink cake Castle for the 25th anniversary of WDW. We stayed at the CBR and all we got was a picture of Mickey & Minnie in what looked like wedding attire and that was it.

I wrestled a long time over staying at CBR or Dixie Landings. They both looked really great to me. We ended up staying at Dixie Landings, but--in the end--I don't know that it mattered too much. We didn't see any of the resort grounds. We were a little too preoccupied with activities taking place in our room. Oh to be twenty again . . .

That is too funny...DH and I were going back and forth on the same resorts and decided on CBR b/c he had been to Dixie Landings before and he didn't really like it. It was actually a very hard decision for us to even go b/c our oldest DD was at back at home with the in-laws and I never have been a big fan of the MIL , but it turned out to be a fantastic trip (even though it was that time of the month for me ) BTW - I love, love, love reading your trip report

I am feeling you about leaving your DD with MIL. I do not enjoy leaving my munchkins with my MIL either. She rarely follows any instructions that I leave with her, and she also makes us feel guilty every time by telling us all the reasons she is inconvenienced by watching our children. But it is a lose-lose situation. If we don't bring the kids over once a week, she begins to whine about not seeing them.

That totally stinks to host your "monthly visitor" on your honeymoon. When I was planning our wedding/honeymoon that was one of my worst fears and one of the reasons I took those little pink pills. I didn't stay on them for long, but I definitely saw some merit to controlling that issue for the time being.

Thanks about my TR. I am hoping to make it a book, and I am so excited. I got my manuscript back, and I am almost done with my first revisions. Then it is back to the editor to see if there are second revisions. Then I have to find a publisher. I really hope someone will publish it because I think it turned out rather funny. I guess we will see.

Do we have the same MIL?!? You described mine down to a T I mistakenly asked her to watch my oldest while I was bringing DD#2 home from the hospital and was given this hour long lecture about how I had to be at her house to pick her up by 7am b/c she had all the errands to run and how anytime later than 7 would ruin her entire day and would just be unacceptable. Well needless to say, I muttered some onscenities under my breath about her and politely said thanks, but no thanks (even DH was POed) and I quickly learned who I could and could not rely on to help with the kids...guess what column she falls under

Good luck with the editing and publishing it! I can't wait to see a thread advertising a book signing!!!

PS - I have a book that list tons of publishers for so many things - please let me know if there is anything I can help with

Gak! YOU CAN HELP! I am currently trying to find someone who can inform me about the procedures for handling Disney trademarks/copyrights/whatever. I am an incredible amount of characters, rides, restauarants, resorts named in my story . . . obviously because it takes place at WDW. I cannot just extract these things from the book (I would have nothing left), so I have to know how to handle keeping them in without getting sued. Someone else told me I may just have to put a trademark sign by the names, but I think I need someone to walk me through all that. Are you able to help with that?

I am sending you a PM so we don't hijack the entire thread. I'm not sure if it's what you are looking for, but maybe it'll help
