Disney World Honeymoon - Tips or Ideas?

Kelsie, on June 13, 2019 at 8:56 AM Posted in Honeymoon 1 5

I think we've narrowed it down to Disney World in Florida for our honeymoon, yay! We actually both just went in January this year with my family for the first time and we're already ready to go back. We know most of the ins and outs and believe me, I'm doing double the research from when we went earlier.

BUT - I know there are tons of Disney fanatics out there and wondering if anyone has any ideas, recommendations or must do's for a honeymoon at Disney? Smiley shame

    We went to Disney for our Honeymoon - 7 nights/8 days

    We stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter - it's (obviously) New Orleans themed which made total sense for our relationship, because that's where we started dating and where we got engaged. It has a relaxed feel, and was very quiet (and we had a corner room overlooking the pool, so it's definitely well insulated lol). First tip - add that you're honeymooning to your hotel reservation. It ends up on your Fastpasses as well and whenever you use your Magic Band it shows up.

    Get the meal plan - it can save you a lot of money if you like to eat lol. You have to add your honeymoon to dining reservations separately - I don't know why, but you have to call.

    The first and last days were 1/2 days because of flights, so we avoided reservations those days and just did Fastpasses.

    When we arrived we went to the concierge and got our Happily Ever After buttons. Second tip - GET THE BUTTONS and wear them! Cast Members will tell you congratulations and between the buttons and your Magic Bands you can sometimes get free stuff - I'll tell you what we ended up with at the end.

    We made dining reservations at: Le Cellier (EPCOT), Cinderella's Royal Table (MK), San Angel Inn Restaurante (EPCOT), Flying Fish (Boardwalk area), Yak & Yeti (AK), 50s Prime Time (HS), and Hollywood Brown Derby (HS).

    We had two sit down dinners in HS because we were gifted the Fantasmic dinner package - dinner at one of three restaurants (the high end choice is HBD) and special seating for the show - SO COOL. But, I really wanted to go to 50s Prime Time (they definitely treat you like family - our server ("cousin") was all "why wasn't I invited to the wedding" - it was fun and the food is good!

    So. Cast Members are allowed to give away things to people who are celebrating (when we were there in February for my Mom's birthday, someone gave me an ice cream, because I was celebrating). Don't expect things - people who do, tend not to end up with things - just an observation. We got: a cheese stuffed Mickey pretzel, a churro, glasses of champagne at Le Cellier, seats at Be Our Guest for lunch (they were telling people they didn't have seats until 3, and let us right in), an extra half dessert and champagne at Flying Fish, champagne at HBD - and I'm sure there are things I've forgotten.

    Get wedding ears! We wore ours only one day - that day we got audience participation at Monsters Inc Laugh Floor - it was cool.

    Have fun planning and let me know if you have any questions. We're Disneyphiles through and through!

    Almost forgot - get a Memory Maker - you get all of your ride photos and all of your photographer photos from your whole trip Smiley smile

    Thank you for all of your tips! We will definitely be getting buttons and ears. When you say you added that you're honeymooning on your reservation and your bands, did you do that when booking everything online or did you call to book everything?

    Also did you do anything extra, other than the normal parks and dining?

    We booked everything online, and then called them to let them know that we were honeymooning (the numbers come up as you make reservations, you only have to call once, and they'll add it to everything you already have reserved).

    We went to Disney Springs a couple nights - Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar is fun - it's Indiana Jones themed Smiley smile
