Monday 18th Dec – Day to finally go home – morning in MK before coach picks us up.

Tuesday 19th Dec – Arrive home – Book next Disney Holiday!!!

What do you think? Ive got quite a few ADR's already booked but i can always cancel them if need be.

Im also thinking of moving my last night - with Disney weddings i get 1 free night at any hotel of my choice! i choose the GF originally as i thought im never likely to be able to afford to stay there but we love to spend the last night at Epcot and wander across the boardwalk - is this going to be too awkward?

It sounds an amazing holiday! Congratualtions in advance

I don't think you will have any problems spending your last night at Epcot- You could take the monorail to Epcot and perhaps take the boat from the broadwalk to MGM to get a bus back to the GF. However just a thought.. There are some (expensive) stunning deluxe hotels on the broadwalk- maybe you could have your free night there instead of the GF?

 

[Laurafoster]

We did think about that but we are already staying at the Yacht Club for the rest of the holiday - thank god for wedding group discounts!

I may have a look at the Boardwalk though....

It sounds great, Good Luck with it all. How do you fancy making it 29 people?

Sounds great Laura If you are already staying in the Epcot resort area I would use your 1 night for another area. For me I would choose the Poly or GF

Can't wait for your trip report.

Sounds magical

Go for the GF - we stayed there for our honeymoon. Fantastic hotel, especially if like us you get a lagoon view, get a bottle of bubby and sit on the balcony and watch the fireworks. Very romantic I just wish we could afford to stay there again.

We stayed at GF in a MK view room overlooking the Marina. It was absolutely lovely.

We would get a plate of dessert offerings and a glass of champagne from the Concierge lounge, and sit on our balcony watching Wishes - really romantic.

I would advise you to keep your reservation at GF - a wonderful resort and with the most helpful CM's we have ever met.
