What a lucky bride you have! And what a great rate. As for suggestions, how about taking a stroll along the beach at night to a quiet spot and enjoy a bottle of champagne and strawberries while watching the Electrical Water Parade and/or the fireworks. Most of all, take your time and enjoy all the beauty around you during a special time of your life. Best wishes!!!

You could check out www.Giftsofalifetime.com or www.Pixiegifts.com and have a little gift basket waiting when you arrive. Personally, I thought the Minnie hat with the veil and the Mickey top hat looked so cute on newlyweds. Maybe something like that with candles and champagne. I know both of these companies do a great job and present the gifts so pretty.
What about a carriage ride at FW?
Congratulations and best wishes to you both.

The GF has a GREAT room service menu, and their breakfasts are superb. Order something like eggs benedict one morning, and they'll bring it to you with a fancy schmancy tray, linens, the whole works. It's pricey, but worth it!
Of course, I don't know if you'll want to be disturbed...

From Deb Wills' site...this is how the GF describes some of their dining options...

Two things:
The GF has private dinig where they will set up a table for you anywhere on the GF grounds and server (complete with butler) your dinner. We did this on our honeymoon one night - it was VERY romantic.
Also, you can book a fireworks cruise that takes you on Seven Seas Lagoon with a spectacular view of Fantasy in the Sky. You can also get champagne and (chocolate covered ) strawberries on the fireworks cruise. You have to call WDW recreation to book it...
My DH had a gorgeous bouquet of flowers sent to our room along with champagne and flutes and Mickey and Minnie bride and groom ears. He did this through WDW florist.
One more thing...we were in room 5441 in Sago Cay with a king bed and a magical view of the castle. This room is a dormer room with cathedral ceilings and a private balcony...I think all the king bed rooms are dormers. The room was charming! I hope you get it or one just like it!
CONGRATULATIONS and enjoy your honeymoon!!!
PS - you'll be able to hear the train from MK and the howling wolf from the haunted mansion from you room, too. It's all magical!!!!!!!!

Ditto to all of the above-
How about the mariachi band at San Angel Inn to serenade her at dinner?
How about picking up a picinic at FW or WL , renting bikes or canoes and finding a nice place for a picnic lunch?
A couple of rounds of mini golf at Fantasia Gardens and letting her win?

I agree with ead79...
I had the GF bakery make an anniversary cake for my parents' 30th anniversary when we were there in December. The cake was GORGEOUS & DELICIOUS!!!! It was a white cake with white chocolate mousse filling...simply amazing!
Call the GF directly and ask to speak to the bakery. That would be a romantic way to start your honeymoon.

As far as I know (I may be wrong on this one), but king bed MK view rooms are only in Sago Cay and Boca Chica. 
There are king bed rooms that are dormers, but there are some that are the regular room style, too (there are 17 total in the resort).
