Please don't go on their honeymoon with them. Please. Even if they beg you. Please don't go.

To much is not good on a Honeymoon. No matter how much you get along.

Please reconsider the "familymoon". At least not for the entire time. At the very least give them a few days alone.

And when making reservations, I would ask for the rooms to be as FAR apart as possible.

Last thing you want to think about when you are...um...having your night time activities, is your parents or ILs in the next rooms! YIKES!

I am not flaming, but remember your honeymoon. Did you want your ILs there, or in the next room?

YIKES!

How about planning a mini trip for the whole family 6 months after the wedding?

Let the newlyweds, be newlyweds!

We had our wedding & honeymoon in WDW. Our guests stayed at different Disney Resorts before & after the wedding. So yes, there were people we knew who were at Disney on our honeymoon. However we were in the main building concierge of the GF. And the concierge was great about not letting ANYONE contact us during our honeymoon (my DH's frat brothers thought it would be funny to try & spend our honeymoon WITH us).

The only time we saw anyone after the wedding, was 1 morning about 4 days later, there was a breakfast for everyone who was still there. Other then that, there was NO contact on my honeymoon.

it was the newlyweds idea to have a honymoon/family vacation (believe it or not!!)

and we're not going to spend every waking moment together either.

actually I guess I wasnt looking for answers to my ?S about since we're booking 3 rooms w/AAA discount is it one deposit=to 1 nite or one nite for each room. and if you book a room only and use the Disney VIsa do you get 6 months interest free.

actually I got both ?s answered today when I called Disney but thanks for the posts it made for some interesting reading

Hi! If you book through AAA you can have them put the trip into a package for you that includes your AAA discount. Only if you have a package will you be able to pay 6 months interest free.

See the thing is ... there is a reason "honeymoon" is called just that. It's a time for the newlyweds to be together with EACH OTHER. Even though it was their idea (and wasn't it convenient you could all get vacation at the same time ... ahem), they would probably be much more comfortable on their HONEYMOON alone. You can all plan a "family vacation" together at a later time.

I wrote in either asking a question (which in this case I was ) or asking for advice (which in this I wasnt) that I felt really hurt (and usually things dont bother me espically things over the internet)



I wasnt asking if we should go but rather ?s on booking and discounts

thanks dizzeecrazee( I hope Im at least close to your name!!)

thanks for the warm wishes I really appreicate it

No one is trying to hurt your feelings. No one has said anything mean, or rude, etc. While you didn't want people's opinions on this, people still shared them...but in a nice way, and meaning to spare hurt in the future for all involved. I think that everyone who posted on this thread did so with good intentions. No one meant to hurt you. I think looking to people's intentions is important...and I am sure all of them are sad that their posts hurt you.

However, for the rest of us: now that the OP has said cleary she does not want anyone's opinions on the familymoon subject, I am sure no one will continue to post on that issue.

I am glad you found the answers to your specific questions. Feel free to ask more if you need to, but now that you know folks think your familymoon is a bit odd, just be sure to put in your posts that you don't want opinions on that in the future, and hopefully most people here will respect that. Happy planning.

Wow! I hope it wasn't my post that hurt your feelings! I read your post and couldn't help but think how it sounded like an Everybody Loves Raymond episode. I certainly didn't mean to pass judgment or offend you.

In fact, my parents came with me on my honeymoon. They were in the same hotel but pretty far down the hall from us. I was glad they were there and we all had a good time. They did infringe on us quite a bit though. However, my parents tent to be obliviously intrusive. I didn't matter though, we had plenty of alone time when we got home.

This is a bit OT, but boy, I wish my mother in law had gone on our honeymoon with us.

Your daughter, and DEFINITELY your son in law will probably want some distance between rooms.

I posted my last one--I guess Im on an emotional roller coaster

with my "baby" getting married and going to WDW and DH retiring this June and things arent going good at work but thats a whole other story

now I hope I didnt make anyone feel bad about their posts

hugs all around

I guess it does seem strange to go with your kids on their honeymoon but when my DD brought up this idea they dont consider this a honeymoon since at first they didnt think they were going to be able to go anywhere since her soon to be hubby started a new job and they didnt think hed be able to get any time off thats how this whole thing got started
