I have never stayed in one of the Disney Resorts before, and was just wondering if anyone had any idea on which resort would be best. I know that The Grand Floridian has a honeymoon suite, but that's around 700-800 per night, and i think that is a little crazy lol. TIA!
Your best bet would be the value resorts like Pop Century. I know it doesn't scream honeymoon but if you tell them its your honeymoon, they may be able to give you something special.
Disney has 3 levels of resort, value, moderate and deluxe- what about staying in a moderate level- Coronado springs or port orleans- both have Disney transportation and beautiful atmosphere
yea i have been looking at a few, i was thinking of the coronado springs one.
We got engaged at Disney World and had booked a moderate resort (Caribbean Beach) but when we got there they were over booked and they upgraded us to the Beach Club and it was AMAZING. Being walking distance to Epcot during the food and wine festival was the best thing ever. We stayed in October and the person at the front desk explained to us that upgrades tend to happen a lot around then because there are a lot of conferences in town. If you're going right after the wedding you should be there around when the food and wine festival is going on so being within walking distance to Epcot would be in your best interest, we drank all day and then just strolled back to the room as opposed to waiting for a bus.
aw that sounds so nice :] yea we are planning to Sept 15th or so.
The yacht club is amazing! Also the swan and dolphin- and if your by any chance a teacher or ur fh is you get a discount there
thanks so much! yea i was looking at all of the other resorts and im really liking Coronado springs as well!

Just as a follow up, after the girls mentioned Swan and Dolphin, I researched for just about the rest of my night lol. They both look amazing. I got really excited thinking it would be the perfect medium between romantic, adult honeymoon and still being at the happiest place on earth. The location is to die for. But be careful, because since it is not truly a Disney resort, you do not get the free shuttle to and from the airport and dining plan cannot be included. This is more than likely a deal breaker for us as we find those to be huge cost cutters. And FH and I are both school staff..I got so excited too!
yea i know i feel the same way, because i wanted to do the dining plan and also get the extra magic hours.
So I’m a huge Disney traveler. We own a timeshare so FH and I go several times a year….we are actually going there tomorrow for a couple of days! You can actually rent points from Disney timeshare owners to save a ton of money on deluxe accommodations. There are several websites that will help you with this. I suggest either David’s Vacation Club Rentals or the DVC Rental Store. Just to give you an idea of the savings you can get I calculated how much it would be for you to stay at a deluxe hotel. If you wanted to stay at the Grand Floridian it would cost you around $230 for a studio. I personally love either the Beach Club that would be $210 a night or the Boardwalk that would be $140 a night. Studios are very similar to a regular hotel room but you get a kitchenette. The only thing with these accommodations is that you don’t get daily house keeping. Please let me know if you have any questions I have too much Disney knowledge in my head that I love to share! If you are interested I would contact either website right away because studios go fast!

Really? That sounds perfect. That would be great, thanks!
DH and I got engaged in Disney and we are also doing a Disney honeymoon. We're going in February for 10 days. Usually the value resorts like the all-star music, movies, and sports are the most reasonably priced, and the pop century is only a little bit more per night. However, the Art of Animation hotel isn't too bad with their prices. DH surprised me on our wedding day with a video from Ariel in Ariel's Grotto (he knows someone who works at Disney and arranged for the video lol that is why I love him always full of surprises) and she had a message for me that DH arranged for us to stay in the Little Mermaid section of the Art of Animation hotel the first night we're there (he's just as much of a Disney freak as me lol)and the rest of our trip we will be staying at Pop Century. Hope this info helps!
Reading all of these makes me want to plan a Disney honeymoon!!
