Whohoooo! Party! Woot woot! 
I am just super happy right now! I got a WONDERFUL email from my airline letting me know there was a major schedule change for our DEPARTURE day on January 8th! Instead of arriving at Orlando at 4:54 (or something like that), we arre arriving at 2:13! WHOHOOOOOOO!
This means we won't have to miss Spectromagic! We should be able to even get some unpacking and unwinding AND Magic Kingdom time!
I'll have to completely change Day 1, but oh well No complaints!

I can't believe that EPCOT is your least favorite! I have to spend at least 2 days there! Try to check out the little shows that are put on through World Showcase like Servuer Amusant in France and Sergio in Italy.
I love that pic of Sunshine Seasons! I have never seen it like that before.
For snack choices in Epcot... I love the bakery in France. I never ate at Kringla before though.

Congrats and enjoy your disneymoon! Your wedding pictures are lovely! And please don't feel bad about not spending as much as others--you're doing the smart thing by sticking to a budget and not getting in over your head. I'm sure it will be magical for you.
About Epcot, Kringla is one of our favorite snack and lunch places. While you're in Norway enjoy the Maelstrom ride and the gift shop--great photo ops with the trolls, and rubbing their noses will bring you good luck.
For a lovely souvenir that will last a long time why not go to the department store in Japan and do the pick a pearl? Here are a couple of threads on it:

Yeah, I might enjoy Epcot more this year...again it was quite a few years when I went last time. We are planning on spending two days there
Thanks for the advice about watching the shows...I'll make sure we don't miss those. Thanks..lol, I just did a search for Sunshine Seasons and that is one of the pics that came up.
Thank you so much! It was a wonderful wedding
LOL, I will have to go rub noses with a troll lol. 
Thanks for the idea about picking a pearl. I will check into that!
Ok, working on my next day...finally! LOL, I'll just be finishing my pre-trip reporrt when it will be time to go.

Part 14: Day 4
Sunday, January 10th, 2008
We are going to go check out Animal Kingdom!
Now, I’m a big fan of Animal Kingdom…love animals. I think Steve will enjoy it too…especially some of the rides I remember. Also….a new one…I will finally get to ride Expedition Everest! Yeah!
9:00 park opening: Leave by 8:15
The park opens at 9:00 A.M. and closes at 5 P.M. Again we will make a stop in the PC lobby to fill up our mugs and then get in line to wait for the Epcot bus.
Lunch: Flame Tree BBQ
This is one of the few counter services I remember eating with my mom. The ribs here are sooo yummy!
Break: ???
Now, I am not sure if we will actually head back to the hotel for a break today, because we are going to make an early night. If we are finished with Animal Kingdom by 2:00 then we might head back to the hotel or go to DTD, or hotel touring…
What time do you think we’ll finish Animal Kingdom???
Dinner:
We will be eating at Boma at 5:50. I know the park closes at 5:00, but this way we can spend some time looking around my favorite resort! I ate at Boma before, and liked it. Originally, Steve and I weren't going to eat here because Steve didn't like what he saw on the menu. She said he'd try it though. He normally likes trying different stuff, so I'm sure this will be a hit.
Snack choices- I couldn’t find too many snack choices that we liked for Animal Kingdom. Maybe we can sneak over to DTD to get snacks from there.
Evening
- Again, depending on how we are feeling. If we are tired and just want to head back to the hotel and swim or watch T.V…that sounds good. Or, we might go to DTD after dinner for awhile, or hotel touring. We’ll see how we feel.
- I also started looking into doing a Carriage ride at Port Orleans or a wagon ride at Wilderness. I think probably the later for money and flexibility reasons. That might make a fun evening.
But no park in the P.M.

Day 5: Monday, January 12th, 2008
We are going to have a pretty easy day today. Mainly because today we are planning our park to be Hollywood Studios .because I really want us to see Spectromagic. Double edged sword because of Spectromagic Hollywood Studios is going to be busy.
9:00 park opening: Leave by 10:00
Tehehe lol, that was kind of fun to type that. Yeah, this morning we are going to sleep in a bit. Have breakfast at Pop. Leave for HS about 10:00. Maybe hit a ride or two, but mainly focus on getting to our afternoon reservation at
Lunch: Sci-Fi @ 12:00 P.M.
Down Town Disney Afternoon:
After lunch we may wander around Hollywood Studios a little bit. We have a full day planned there the next day though, so I dont want to spend too much time on attractions. So we will head to Down Town Disney and make use of the coupons we got for our vacation.
- Miniture Golf Voucher- We love mini golf! We will probably head to Disneys Fantasia Miniaturre Golf Course for one round of mini-golf.
- Planet Hollywood $15 meal vchr (free stuff is always good)
- Planet Hollywood Merch. Vchr- well go ahead and pick out one souvenir from Planet Hollywood too.
Dinner: Wolfgang Puck Express: Downtown Disney.
Early dinner (5:00 P.M.). Use 2 counter services (this is till considered a Counter Service at night, right???).
- I am hoping that we will have some time to run back to Pop Century at least for a little bit, so we have time to grab some things for the evening Fantasmic Show (a blanket at least).
Hollywood Studios Evening:
Fantastic @ 7:00 P.M. Get seats by 6:00 P.M.
Fantasmic is my favorite show at Walt Disney World! I am so excited! I am a little worried because there is only one show of Fantasmic during our stay.
Back to hotel:
I dont think we will be getting a break this afternoon, so I think we will be more than willing to head back to the hotel after Fantasmic and hit the sack.
Snack choices
- So, I really dont think we will be at all wanting to get a snack in the afternoon because of the $15 credit at Planet Hollywood but if we do probably head to Goofys Candy Company.

Day 6, January 13th, 2008
Today we are going to spend the entire morning at Hollywood Studios
9:00 park opening: Park closes at 7:00 P.M.
So, we will not get to sleep in today like yesterday. We will leave the hotel by 8:15 so we can make the rope drop at 9:00 P.M.
Lunch: Toluca Legs Turkey Company, Hollywood Studios
There arent too many good lunch choices at HS, but Turkey Legs are always yummy. Well probably be using our Snack Credit here too.
Break: 2:00-4:00 P.M.
Now it is time for the rest time of our day. This will also help us escape some crowds if it gets busy.
Evening entertainment and dinner: Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue, Pioneer Hall- Fort Wilderness:
After our break we plan on leaving Pop Century and heading straight to Fort Wilderness for this show. Steve and I are VERY excited! The plan is take the bus from POP to MK. Then take the little boat (what is it called?) to Fort Wilderness (second stop). I think if we leave at 4:00, we should get there in plenty of time for the 5:00 show.
I dont know how long this show will be? I am guessing we wont have time to go back to Hollywood Studios. Will 9-2:00 be plenty of time to fully enjoy Hollywood Studios? I may need to tweak my plans for Hollywood Studios the day before just so I make sure we have plenty of time.
Wagon Ride at Fort Wilderness:
Tonight ,after HDD would be a great time to partake in the Wagon Ride at Fort Wilderness. This would be a wonderful way to end the night!
Back to Hotel:
If we are still feeling ambitious, we could go back to DTD (especially if our time is cut there the day before to try to fit in more HS activities). I am guessing we will be ready to hit the sack though.

Day 7: Wednesday, Jan. 14th:
Today we are going to have our second day at Epcot!
I know I said earlier Epcot is not my favorite park. Hopefully this year will be different. I know it has the most to see, and I am excited to see it with my husband.
9:00 park opening: Park closes at 9:00 P.M.
The park opens at 9:00 A.M. and closes at 9:00 P.M. Again we will make a stop in the PC lobby to fill up our mugs and then get in line to wait for the Epcot bus.
Lunch: Beer Garten; Epcot- Germany
So, we are actually going to be meeting a very special couple here. My parents. LOL, yes we will be meeting my parents for lunch during our honeymoon. The thing is they are snowbird and go to FL in November and I wouldnt see them either wise until March. So, we are both looking forward to this meal. Lunch is it though I think they are even going to park hop so they dont run into us again.
Break: 2:00-4:00
Now it is time for the rest time of our day. This will also help us escape some crowds if it gets busy.
Epcot evening
After our break, well head back to the park to continue touring.
Dinner: Coral Reef @5:40 P.M.
I really hope we get a seat right next to the large tank. I LOVE this place!
IllumiNations at 9:00 P.M. (if not done earlier because of bad weather for tonight?)
Yes, we will end our honeymoon with a bang! I thought IllumiNations would be an excellent way.
Back to hotel:
It will be a late night and we will have to leave early to catch our plane, so back to the hotel we will go.

I love Epcot for snacks.... We actually "treated" around the world for the trip we got engaged. They have churros in Mexico, that bakery in Norway, another bakery in france (with amazing creme brulee). We went to Tangeriene Cafe and got a counter service meal there, but I think I remember that they had snacks... If you're having problem selecting snacks in Epcot, I would try this thread. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1683477
Fellow disneymooner here ( May 2009)
Also, I love Epcot sooooo much, it's FH and my favorite park. We spend two days there. We spend two days at MK because it makes us happy, and one each at DAK and DHS. This trip we're spending THREE at EPCOT. I can't wait!

We just got back form our 6 night honeymoon and we too were on a budget.... We stayed at All Star Movies to save money. Although we did do the Premium Plan. DH surprised me with the upping of the budget!!! I am an ESE teacher and he is a student.
We also went to WDW for our Disneymoon 17 weeks after being married. It was a great experience, although some people did ask when we got married and made comments like we were milking the congratulations. Then we'd explain we never had a honeymoon due to my job and they were very happy for us and changed their attitudes. This happened with guests and CMs. We wore the ears and buttons. Buttons daily and the ears only 2 days our of 7. It was os fun to hear Congratulations and remember how it felt to be newlyweds again without the stress of jobs.
You are going to have a great time!!! The hotel won't matter and they will do many special things for you make a note on all your reservations that it is your honeymoon. I made all the ADRs but DH called back and had them make a note on all our ressies. I had no idea!
Enjoy your trip!! And if you want the headband style bride ears they sell them at Magic Kingdom in the shop right next to the Crystal shop. I saw them also at the stand under the train station when entering on the right side. The top hats we didn't see except in the christmas store.

Thank you! I was getting a little nervious about spending two days at Epcot.... it really used to be my least favorite park. But like you said, I think this year we will have a great time!
LOL, I think that last day at Epcot we are going to do a bit of drinking around the world using our $200 gift card lol
Congrats on your upcoming trip!

I was also worried about people giving us funny looks/comments about not really being on our honeymoon. We went on a little get away just for the weekend right after the wedding, but this is the honeymoon! I can't believe how some people react sometimes. Wouldn't they think...hmmmm, if that couple spend $60 on wedding mouse ears....they must be on their honeymoon.
That is awesome that dh had some surprises! Mine wouldn't even know where to start to make any changes for our trip. I'm doing it all...he is pretty clueless what he is getting into lol
We ebayed the Mickey and Minnie Wedding Mouse ears
So, they are ready to go. We paid about $40 for a brand new set insteed of $60....and this is the old Grooms hat and not the new funny one. LOL, right when I saw the new design, I bought an old one off ebay. We did make special notes on our reservations about it being our honeymoon. I hope we run into some Disney Magic
Just being there will be magical though.Ok, I'm going update some things now!

Our Final Budget
Ok...remember I tried to keep our trip under $2000. Seemed kind of hard for a honeymoon at Walt Disney World. Did I do it??
Airplane Tickets (Iowa to Orlando, 2 people)= $575.98
Hotel- Pop Century (Standard room, 7 nights, 2 people)
8-Day Magic Your way Base Ticket
Magic Your Way Package Plus Dining
4/3 deal
= $1399.22
Grand total= 1975.20
:
I did it! I did it!
Even better yet, we have that wonderful $200 gift card to use for tips and drinks at Epcot! ... can I count that as $1775.20 then???
We also have money saved up to use for ourselves...additional drinks and souvenirs.
