Re: Advice for Disney World Honeymoon?
Another romantic idea that I love: in EPCOT, head over to France about 10-15 minutes before the Illuminations fireworks and light show. Get a couple of glasses of Champagne (they have a Champagne booth right in front of France or you can go inside the wine store) and watch the fireworks from the bridge connecting France with the United Kingdom. We do this every time we go!

Re: Advice for Disney World Honeymoon?

We want to go to Walt Disney World for our Honeymoon also. We spoke with a travel agent. She mentioned the Port Orleans Resort French Quarter as a romantic but affordable resort. She said that we could book in September/October 2006 for 2007. I still have so many questions like where do you get the bride and groom mouse ears?
I agree on Port Orleans French Quarter. FH and I stayed there for a ridiculously cheap amount with our annual passholder discounts and the magnolia gardens are so pretty..outdoor jacuzzi. I love it. if we can;t afford a deluxe, I would defintiely stay there for the HM

Mention it when you get there AND call ahead and tell them to put in on your file. When you make priority seatings, tell them then too 
ETA: When we went to the CA Grill we mentioned to each other that it was our anniversary and the waitress must have overheard us and she brought us a huge piece of cake and said "Happy Anniversary!"

Re: Advice for Disney World Honeymoon?
So, I REALLY don't know Disney at all! A lot of people are saying you don't really stay in your room anyway, so it's not worth it to pay big bucks for a Deluxe. Right now, we're booked for the Beach Club Villas, one bedroom villa (king sized bed and whirlpool tub... small kitchenette, etc.). I just can't see spending 1200-2000 more for the Grand Floridian. And there are no king sized bed rooms available at the Polynesian. Should I switch it to Port Orleans? I don't know what to do!

Re: Advice for Disney World Honeymoon?
I think all of the moderate resorts are really nice, and much more affordable. I like Carribean Beach myself, I just find it so relaxing over there, that is where we always stay

Re: Advice for Disney World Honeymoon?
Oh Disney HM ladies...I bought a great book at Barnes and Noble..called Disney for Couples...there is some stuff about honeymoons in there too! There is also the Unoffical Guide to Disney that also comes in a mini version so you don't have to lug that big book around on the trip!

Re: Advice for Disney World Honeymoon?
Every person has different needs when they go to Disney...When we went for our honeymoon, we knew we wanted to be at a monorail reosrt because it would be more convenient for us...You need to weigh all your options and see if it would be worth it to stay at different places according to your needs!!!

Port Orleans is so much more afordable. It is also so romantic. It looks like your right in New Orleans.
There are two parts to Port ORleans. One used to be Dixie Landings, then they changed it to Riverside, now it might all be called Port Orleans. Riverside is the more romantic of the two, i/m/o. It is a lot quieter, (the pool at Port Orleans is the big dragon), and if you want to you can just walk over or take the boat between the two hotels.

Re: Advice for Disney World Honeymoon?
Melissa,
Hi! You are getting married the day before my birthday. You get the Walt Disney World DVD and CD by going to disney online I believe.
I had to give them my name and address.
They sent me the vacation planing kit. It is very informative and helpful. Also fun to watch. I hope I helped you out.

Re: Advice for Disney World Honeymoon?
I read about Disney's Beach Club Villas in the Disney World for Couples book, and I do feel so much better about my choice! Thank you! It lists our resort as exciting, relaxing and romantic! And, I've heard it's not AS geared towards children as other places. Our one bedroom villa has the whirlpool tub separate from the bathroom that opens onto the king sized bedroom! Sounds PERFECT!
Now... does anyone know how EARLY you can make reservations for dinners? (by the way... that book lists every restaurant in Disney and rates the level of romance and how good the food is!)
Thanks, ladies! (they need a Mickey ears icon!)

Re: Advice for Disney World Honeymoon?
Dear Sarah,
Yes they do need to make a smiley face with mousey ears. The answer to your question. I think you are able to make dinner reservations 6 months to a year it advance like cinderellas castle.
Don't make the reservation to late at night. You will more time to enjoy your dinner in the early evening. My friends who went on their honeymoon there told me that.
I hope I helped you out.

You did! Thank you! I'm so nervous about which restaurants I should pick to make my reservations, especially since I have to decide now! We're going to get there at about 8pm, so I was thinking of making late reservations at the Fultons Crab House for the first night. Someone also told me to go to the Christmas store that first night to order our personalized ornaments so that they're ready to bring home by the end of our honeymoon. So, what time should we make reservations for the remainder of our trip there, when we will be doing things throughout the day? And where in our itinerary should I make "swimming with the dolphins" reservations? Should I group it with a non-theme park day? Or with Animal Kingdom or something? Thanks, ladies!

Re: Advice for Disney World Honeymoon?
Dear Sarah,
Fulton's Crab House is in Downtown Disney so they should be open late. If you plan on eating at Cinderella's castle I would say make reservations for 6pm by the time you eat it will 7pm which is good timing. I am not sure what other resturants require reservations. I don't think you should have a problem since it's november.
Where are you swiming with the dolphins? If it is not in disney you should do that on a non theme park day unless you can fit a theme park later at night. I hope that I helped you out. Any other questions let us know.

Thank you! I definitely want to swim with the dolphins IN Disney. Maybe I'll aim to do that at 11, so I can see what we're in the mood for the rest of the day. I don't want our honeymoon to be crazy rushing, so I want to leave room for some downtime. Thanks for all the advice!
