Planning our Honeymoon & 1st Time @ WDW!

[violentmesses]

Well,...it's a pre-wedding Honeymoon anyway. What would one call that?
DF and I are getting married at Disneyland, CA in October 2010 and there's one BIG reason we're taking our honeymoon early. We got FREE PLANE TICKETS!

We participated in this promotion called Docker's Free Flights with JCPenny last year. Basically, all we had to do was spend $150 in men's Docker's clothing at Penny's, send our receipt in with destinations and travel dates and *POOF* free roundtrip tickets.

***EDIT*** Well, really not that *POOF*. We had a REALLY, really hard time getting Dockers/Pennys/Levi Corp to give us the tickets. They were trying to pawn off a $150 gift card to who knows where instead. Losers.

But, all-in-all, sweet, huh? So, that's why we're going now. Free tickets. That, and we're not entirely sure we'll have money for a honeymoon after a Disney wedding, lol.

We're staying in Coronado Springs! Feb. 8 - 15!

YEA! We moved some things around so that we could get the Sweetheart Dinner for Two package on Valentines day at The Brown Derby. I'm really looking forward to all the fun!

What do ya'll think about our eating itinerary?

I was wondering, how do we get from Animal Kingdom to Epcot? Is there a bus system or something? Will it be obvious when I get there?

First of all congrats on the wedding and free trip..how cool is that

I haven't been to WDW in fourteen years and so much has changed. But the restaurant selections sound good to me

I'm totally bummed Fantasmic! Dinner thing is sold out. <sigh>

Off the top of the head, does anyone know which nights the following run between 2/8 - 2/14?:

• IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth (Epcot)
• "SpectroMagic" Parade (MK)
• Wishes™ Nighttime Spectacular (MK)
• Beauty and the Beast - Live on Stage (HS)
• Fantasmic! (HS)

I ask, because I'm under the impression these don't run on all nights. If no one knows, can some one point me in the right direction? Or will I find out when I get there?
