Vacationing from November 26th - December 2nd. Driving from TN, Two adults, staying at Coronado HONEYMOON!! We are 50 yrs old. My husband is not a Disney fan so I'm trying to plan things loosely. Let me know what you think and if there might be something special I can plan like a tour or something.

We are actually arriving on the 25th and staying 1 night off site.

Day 1-(Saturday Nov 26) - Arrival Day; Check-in; Epcot; Dinner at Teppen Edo; Illuminations at 9:00, lunch anywhere

Day 2-(Sunday, Nov 27) - Animal Kingdom; lunch at Flame Tree Barbecue; Dinner at 7:50 at Boma

Day 3-(Monday, Nov 28)- Epcot; Candlelight Processional lunch at Biergarten at 12:00; 5:00 reservations for Candlelight Processional, snack around the world for dinner or leave early and watch a movie on the beach.

Day 4-(Tuesday, Nov 29) - Hollywood Studios; Fantasmic Lunch at Mama Melrose, Fantasmic at 7:00, may go check Grand Floridian to see decorations

Day 5-(Wednesday Nov 30) - Magic Kingdom; Dinner at 5:10 at Ohanas, stay for EMH

Day 6-(Thursday Dec 1) - Last day...sleep in, go to disney springs or use park hoppers to do what ever we want, Breakfast at The Wave at 10:15, Dinner at Whisper Canyon Café at 8:25 pm

Friday...going to visit family for a few days before heading home.

I think it's a great plan. I like that you aren't too bogged down with meal ADR's; that helps to keep things loose.

For a person who is not a Disney fan, Epcot is a great first day (if he gets grumpy, just suggest a beer!).

Consider sticking around after the CP; sometimes in the past, CP dining package came with a reserved viewing area for Illuminations that was really great. I'm not sure if that will be the case this year. However, I would avoid the movies on the beach on an adults only trip, especially a honeymoon. Take a carriage ride or rent a surrey bike on the Boardwalk, instead.

Definitely make a point of going to GF to see the decorations. We love, love, love the gingerbread house.

A lot of the tours tend to be geared toward die-hard WDW fans. Behind the Seeds is short and relatively inexpensive. I think there's a Segway tour in Ft. Wilderness. My DH loved our Segway tour. There's diving and snorkeling tours in the Seas at Epcot that could be cool. MAYBE Undiscovered Future World, but that might be a little die-hard WDW. Consider also, depending on the budget, renting a private fireworks cruise-- that would be super-romantic for a honeymoon. Or consider renting a boat from the Contemporary marina and cruising the seven Seas Lagoon together.

Congrats on the wedding.

Plan seems reasonable..........although if it were me I'd put in afternoon breaks which there seems to be space for........but that's me. BTW Make sure you get your Honeymoon buttons........it can mean a nice dessert........for free (it did for my wife and I)

Have a great trip.

Without knowing his or your special interests, it's hard to suggest tours. Here's a great site with all the descriptions in one place. Personally, I'd love to do the Behind the Steam Trains tour at MK!!

Thank you all for your replies...because he grew up in Orlando he has only been to WDW for day visits, then they went home.

Glassslippergirl...thank you for the tip on not going to movies on the beach. Because it is end of November/ December it might be cold anyway. That was also the reason I didn't "plan" any breaks, the parks close so early, usually around 8 except for EHM. If we need one we can take one anytime.

Sharonabe...thanks for the tour info. I cant wait to read it. I too would love the Steam Trains tour. I was planning on doing the Behind the Seeds Tour as well.
