YAY!!! Does anyone have any tips or suggestions!? We're reviewing prices now and will be booking this weekend.

Do you know where you'll be staying? We stayed at the Poly and loved it. Also, definately buy those bride and groom mouseear hats while your down there and wear them. Make sure when you make/confirm your reservations they know its your honeymoon. Oh, and check out the hammocks at the Poly, very romantic.

Congrats!

I have some suggestions ... take notes of things for Jason and I since we're just a few days behind you.
Looks like we both got our men into the Disney wedding spirit. Yay!

We're still in the deciding stage, but so far it looks like we'll be staying at Coronado Springs.

Well I can't give you resort tips, because I know nothing about Coronado Springs. Don't tour commando style, we did on our December trip and it wasn't nearly as relaxing as our honeymoon. Definately wear the hats. And casually mention to CM's and waiters how "cool it is to be hear on your honeymoon." You don't actually have to say cool. I'm not saying everyone will do something special, but you might get a surprise sometime. We really enjoyed the Polynesian luau. They had a special dance for honeymooners and people celebrating their anniversary.

Definately watch the fireworks. Oh, and spend the 8.95 and get the photo of you two in front of the castle, epcot globe, or MGM hat. We got the castle and the MGM hat and they are my favorite honemoon pics. (I'm talking about photogs that stop you when you walk in the park and ask to take your photo, then they give you a card to pick up your photo later.)

Take lots of photos, and don't be afraid to ask people to take your photo. We only used 1.5 disposable cameras (left over from the reception) and I wish we had taken more pix. Our favorite poses were with objects or characters, like DH with the Genie or on a snowmobile at Blizzard beach, or me in a little car at Mickey's toontown or with that bug from Bug's Life.

Make some nice Priority Seatings. That'll all depend on your taste. Have you been to DW before?

I'm having trouble figuring out when your wedding date is. My brain is having math trouble. Is it in late December? If it is, I have some more great ideas.

Nanu57v: Yes, we've been to "the World" many times, well I have anyway. My future husband has only been once before. Our wedding date is November 27th.

Angey: Hehe yea, too bad we're going to miss each other by a couple of days. It would have been fun to do the parks together! A big ole double date! heh heh

Oops! sorry about that!

Ok, awesome. Your honeymoon will be even more magical being the world will be decorated for Christmas. We really enjoyed the Candlelight Processional. We didn't get a package though and I definitely would recommend getting the package.

You should do the MVMCP. They have hot chocolate and another great photo op. And a lot of stuff to get you in the Christmas mood.

Get people to take pix of you in front of Christmasy things, like trees, or the gingerbread house (I think its at GF).

Have fun!

Thanks Nanu!

We are doing the Dreammaker package. I'm trying to decide now what add ons we want. We're going to stay at Coronado Springs Resort! (I've always wanted to stay there!). Now it's time to start trying to decide what PS's to make!

How am I going to start planning a wedding, when all I want to do is plan our WDW vacation!!!

WORD OF ADVICE, make sure you tell the people at CRO that it's your honeymoon!!!

 

[Nanu57v]

You know what I heard is really neat? Eating at the California Grill during the MK fireworks. A friend of mine did that during their honeymoon. They play the Wishes music in the restaurant and you have a great view.

 

[Desiree]

That's an excellent suggestion! In fact that's one of the restaurants we're considering! I'll have to look into that! I can't book dining until 90 days out.
