Re: Advice for Disney World Honeymoon?
In Disney to you actually get to swim with the dolphins or just be in the water with them. I think when I read the info on it it said not required you know how to swim so I'm under the impression it's different then what they have at sea world. If someone knows the answer let me know.

thank you! So, have you stayed at Disney's Beach Club Villas? Please FM me info. That's where we're booked now... in a one-bedroom villa. Does it overlook Epcot at all? What are the view options? Do they have balconies? And no concierge service at the villas, right?
Thanks for the help... and the websites! i'm going to visit them all now!

I stayed at the Beach Club a few years back (about 3). Fantastic and one of my favorites. I think it is an awesome choice for a honeymoon. IF you feel you are spending too much money, Port Orleans Riverside is a very romantic and affordable choice. But if you can afford to, go with the Beach Club. The jacuzzi WILL be used in that room
Three days before your trip, call the Beach Club hotel directly, tell them you are confirming your reservation and your requests. IF the Epcot view is very important to you, make that number one. Let them know it is a honeymoon and they will treat you like gold. Mention this to every person you encounter on your honeymoon. They will not guarantee the view because rooms are given out on a first-come first served basis at Disney (most hotels actually follow this rule). Getting to the hotel between 1pm and 3pm is great cause most have checked out by then. All the rooms have balconies or patios. OF course they have a hotel concierge who can help you with services, but not like room service or special floors.

Re: Advice for Disney World Honeymoon?
allears.net is a great resource!! I'm on it all the time...we've been DVC members since '91 and I love to keep up with all the Disney news. It even tells you which rides/hotels/etc. are closed for refurbishment and stuff like that. I'm planning on going again this year in November for the food & wine festival! What a blast!!

Re: Advice for Disney World Honeymoon?
My biggest advice to give to Disney Honeymooners is make reservations ASAP at any restaurants that you know you want to eat at....They have a dining plan now and the restaurants book up so quick!!!!! It was like pulling teeth for us to get reservations once we were there!!!!

Re: Advice for Disney World Honeymoon?
I booked Dolphins in Depth AND the Polynesian luau last night! Those were just a couple of the things I was able to book now. I have to wait until May for the rest! I feel so much better knowing that we're booked for those, at least! AND, I got a discount for Dolphins in Depth since I paid with my Disney Visa Card! BONUS!

Re: Advice for Disney World Honeymoon?
Here's a tip: we have the Capital One Disney card and you earn Disney Reward Dollars that we always use towards dinner (especially at the more pricy ones: California Grill, Artist Point, etc.) Last time we had 100 bonus bucks & it paid for a good portion of a 3 course wine pairing dinner at the California Grill.

Thanks ginny

Re: Advice for Disney World Honeymoon?
I would recommend calling them right away to make reservations. They make reservations 6 months in advance for a lot of places. I already made my Polynesian luau reservations for NOVEMBER! so you're definitely not too early! Good luck! Have fun!

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 love Port orleanss French Quarter. Very romantic and affordbale. it's a moderate elvel resort, which means it's not as upscale as the deluxe resorts, but it's definitely passable and romantic for the price. If we cant afford a deluxe, we're going to stay there again fror our honeymoon. There are booths throughout the park that sell the bride and groom mouse ears..they're easy to find once you get there.
I don't think you need a travel agent. Get The Unofficaly Guide to Walt Disney World. it literally tells you EVERYTHING you need to know.

Yes, I am planning my next disney trip now. Has anyone used the dining plan? If so, what is you advice? I am deciding between the dining plan and eating offsite to save money.
I thnk the dining plan is a great deal. I don't think eating offsite will save you money. Yes, the food on property is expensive, but it's not that bad and there are affordable options. When we go we usually plan one nice breakfast, one nice lunch and one or two nice dinners and the rest is counter service. I think trying to eat offsite will waste more time and monye travellign especially since the places around disney are also going to be expensive. You cant avoid eating on property if you're going to be there all day. A lot of times like most restaraunts the same food is chear at lunch time than at dinner time, so eat a nice meal for lunch and then grab a counter service dinner to munch while you watch the fireworks.
Also, you don't need the dining plan to eat onsite. I just want to make that clear. i think the dining plan is defiitely worth it though

How exactly does the dining plan work, does it really limit where you can eat or is it pretty open. Is it like an allowance of money you have to spend on food.

It separates meals into 3 catergories and you get one of each per day. One sit down meal, one counter service meal, and one snack, and they're pretty clear on hwhat it includes, like a sit down dinner includes an appetizer entree and desssert, I think. Some of the more "fancy" restaraunts cost 2 meals. There's an online brochure for it somehwere on the site
