First off Congratulations!!!

You're plan sound great - It sounds a lot what we are doing. BTW, we will also be honeymooning (POFQ) and we got engaged in 2003 (All Star Music)...I just thought that was kind of cool.

Congratulations and have a wonderful time!

Will you be wearing bridal ears?

 

[chanty]

Hey, that's cool!! When will you be there???
Did you have a dilemna between POR & POFQ??

We will be there - October 29th through November 8th. We did have a hard time deciding between POR & POFQ. I think we both made a fabulous choice though!

I would take some time out of you vacation and visit the Boardwalk area and eat at one of their resturants and enjoy the sights and shopping on the boardwalk. You caould also rent a surrey (sp.) bike and ride around the Boardwalk.

We will be there the same dates as you!!! But staying at the all stars resorts with 2 kids this time...last time was the honeymoon...sigh Anyway your plan look great and we will be in some of the same parks you will be. For your honeymoon you might want to look into the horse & buggie rides at fort wilderness - romantic?? taken from allears.net

We took a carriage ride at FW last year in September. Linda was our driver and Scotty was our horse. Our ride was right at twilight time and it was peaceful and romantic. There were deer and bunnies out along the paths. The smell of the honeysuckle filled the air. It was just the perfect end to a quiet evening out. I highly suggest it to anyone. It was a 30 minute ride for $30 and we tipped the driver. From 6:00 to 10:00 PM - carriages depart from Crockett's Tavern at Pioneer Hall. Call 407-824-2832 up to 60 days in advance for a reservation. (mickeysaver)

Bring a bottle of wine or if cooler at night hot chocolate for a nice romantic ride.

Also you could take the boat vs. other modes of transportation to fort wilderness for some more relaxation if you decided to do the horse & buggie...

Make sure to get some honeymooner only type souvies to remember your trip too!!!

Congrats! Your planning looks great! You left lots of space in for extra things to do along the way, which is great. Have fun on your honeymoon!!

 

[chanty]

Thanks everyone!! We can't wait to get there... of course, we can't wait to get married too

Things look good-- they look pretty wide open. On your arrival day if you don't get in until 2pm (ish) you may want to try and hold lunch. That would be a late lunch and then you have a big dinner at the castle that same night.

Also, you will be there during the MNSSHP which is truly great. There is a thread stuck to the top of this board. You may want to check that out, and see if it sounds like something you'd be interested in.

Last, your visit also falls during the F&W fest. Another great event (these extra events are one of the reasons October is such a great time to visit). Anyhow, you may want to plan a little bit of extra time at Epcot to enjoy this. Go w/ an empty belly too, as there is tons of great food to try.

Don't forget to check out the Sea World board and honeymoon boards to get some other great ideas.
