Ok, so our friends are giving us flack for going to Disney for our honeymoon...

[BLTLDZ]

And now have me re-thinking our decision!

Why is it so incomprehensible to people that we ENJOY disney, minus children???

 

[tinkandonaldfans]

Don't listen to them! You like what you like and it shouldn't be based on what others think!

I mean my friends have picked boyfriends and husbands that I wouldn't even go near, but I don't say anything! so it should work both ways


each to their own and as long as you have fun who cares!

 

[srferson]

If Disney World is where you and your then-hubby want to go, then go!

And congratulations!

 

[*~PrincessBelle~*]

hunny we are in the same boat!! Everyone either laughs and thinks we're joking or gives us a hard time about it when we tell people where we're going for our honeymoon too. But these people who laugh are people who have never been before and don't really 'get it'....I try not to let it bother me since I know me and DFi will have a great time

And now have me re-thinking our decision!

Why would you rethink your decision based on what "other" people think? Do your friends dictate other choices in your life like who you are marrying, when you are getting married, or where?

What matters is what you and your SO think.

If a honeymoon at Disney (Niagra Falls, Jamaica, or the Motel 6 down the road) is what will make the two of you happy...well then you have your answer.

 

[srferson]

As I was getting ready for work I realized that "then-hubby" might be all wrong. I have no idea if you're already married or if your SO is wife, not hubby...

No matter what though, my message stays the same. Disney is fun! If you think you'll have a good time, go!

That's just nonsense! You should turn the tables on them and make fun of them for wanting to go on vacation to sit on the beach all day and get skin cancer! How boring!

Particularly when you can go to four different theme parks, two different water parks, excellent restaurants (including a 5-diamond one!), great spas, drive a race car, go to a Cirque du Soleil show, etc. all at one place...WDW!

DH and I spent his entire 18-day R&R at WDW for our wedding/honeymoon. He got teased somewhat about it, but he just fires back about all the fun we had and starts listing the restaurants, etc. Then people get a little jealous and shut up real quick!

And if you want a different perspective...we lived in Germany for 6 years, so we've travelled all over Europe. It's beautiful...yes. But, to see any significant part of it, you have to hop around quite a bit. And that's not relaxing at all! The only vacation we've taken that's even come close to the relaxing and fun time we spent at Disney is a Med Cruise (Greece and Turkey). It was a great way to see those parts of the world, but the food is better at WDW!

then they aren't your friends!

My family/friends also made fun of us cuz we are Disney fans and we are having our wedding/honeymoon at the Disney World Resort...we just ignore the stupid comments and just keep trucking with our plans...at the end of the day we are having the most unique wedding experience then anyone we know in our family...

 

[BLTLDZ]

Thank you everyone.
We are going regardless, and I told them so. Why should I have to justify it?? I don't ask them why they would rather go to Jamaica, and not be able to leave their resort.

 

[disney_bob]

Who cares?

We were originally going to go to Hawaii. But after a little bit of debate the one thing that changed our mind (other than cost) is that we love disney. Period. My fiancee still seems a bit worried (sorry if you're reading this dear) about telling her friends/family because they might pick on it a bit. But it's our honeymoon and we love Disney. We know we'll have a fantastic time and have great memories for years to come.

It's about what you want.

 

[amyy]

I have learned there are some people I just don't talk to about certain things.

I know they are your friends and it might be akward but I would say something to them such as "this is uncomfortable to bring up but i would really appreciate if you stop giving us grief about our Disney honeymoon" I am not sure if when peope tease they realize how annoying it is. I would even go as far as to tell them it hurts my feelings but that is me.

 

[Rellagirl]

Wasn't WDW the honeymoon capital of the world at one time? Not sure if it still is considered that way or not.

Wish I was going there for my wedding or honeymoon...

Don`t let others sway your decision or you may regret it.

 

[pezaddict231]

Disney is still one of the most popular if not the most popular honeymoon destinations in the world.

Don't worry about what others say, it's about what you and your DF want. Some people will never get it, my DF's friends tease him about how often we go to Disney and how they think it's lame but he tells them he loves it, and what is lame about eating at awesome restaurants, staying at amazing hotels and going to the best theme parks in the world?

We're having the wedding at Disney but going to Hawaii for our actual honeymoon since DF cannot really take extended amounts of time off from work, so if we don't go now, we may never get to. But I am a little sad we're not having a Disneymoon too since I think it would be so awesome to stay at Disney for an extended period of time!

lol, well my DF will never let us go to Jamaica since his friends in college went and were held up at an ATM by guys with machetes....that sure doesn't happen at Disney!

 

[meelkes10]

We get it too, we got engaged there so it felt only natural to go back there with it just being us to enjoy our time there.

Don't let them get you down. It's YOUR day and YOUR honeymoon - not theirs. And when they get married or decide to have a second honeymoon, let them plan their thing.

We're so excited and I'm excited for you! It's been the greatest thing to look forward too - I look forward to my Disneymoon more than the actual wedding! hahaha!

When December rolls around my DH and I will be celebrating our 14th year of marriage. Part of our honeymoon was in WDW. We are hoping to have our vow renewal there and will also have our second honeymoon there Not to mention we visit several times per year bottom line, do what makes you and your SO happy.

 

[garyjr316]

Hey we are getting married in June and going to Disneyworld for our honeymoon! We even got engaged at Disneyland. I think your friends are just jealous. Remember... it's all about you guys! Who cares what the other people think. You go and have fun!

 

[Petals & Pixie Dust]

The only place my DH will travel is WDW! In fact, we had to wait until DCL went to Alaska before he would even consider going. Not only are there great restaurants, shows, and attractions, but the service is outstanding. We have never had a bad vacation.

 

[Sadie22]

I'm so old -- in my day one didn't tell the honeymoon destination to anyone until one returned

 

[Deesknee]

Back in 1982 when dh & i got married, I wanted to go to romantic pocanhoas(sp?) mountain retreat for our honeymoon. DH wanted WDW. He won. I have NEVER regretted it. BTW, still happily married & family vacation to WDW almost every year for the past 15.

Good luck & congratulations.
