are honeymoon buttons a thing of the past?

Hey guys! I was hoping someone could help answer a question that has been bugging me. I've been to Disney World 8 years in a row now and I have just booked my honeymoon there for Oct. 2013. The past few times I've gone for a special occasion, the CM at the check in desk of the resort would give us a celebration button. Do they still give away the honeymoon ones or is that specifically reserved for couples married on property? I was very much looking forward to be able to finally wear that button :-/

Just so you know exactly what to expect, the buttons you'll get at check-in might be different than the ones you remember. There aren't buttons that say anything about honeymooning. There were "Just Married" buttons for many years. They've been discontinued but there are still some floating around property at certain hotels and restaurants. The new buttons given to honeymooners say "Happily Ever After." I'm in the minority, but I think the new buttons look better than the Just Married buttons did.

They no longer do the "Just Married" ones although there are still a few bags of them floating around property. They do though have the "Happily Ever After" ones that they give out for honeymoon couples now.

Definitely get the Bride/Groom buttons. Even if you don't get freebies, you get a lot of fun discussions with CMs and other guests. As for the hats, it got old for me after about an hour. I don't like to wear hats and that may be the reason.

I actually feel I look good in hats, but every time I wear a pair of ears I fee like a giant dork. I see them on other women and they look so cute, so I don't know where that complex comes from.

It doesn't stop me wearing them, though. I think I have a pair for every Disney vacation we've been on.

We were there three weeks ago and got honeymoon buttons. I told them when I booked the trip, when we arrived the CM handed me the buttons. It was nice because I had forgotten I mentioned it.

My sister just went last September and picked my up the Happily Ever After pins for my Disney honeymoon this October! She got them at the hotel during check in at the desk. We are getting married Oct. 26th and leaving for our Disneymoon the next morning. :)

how about a room upgrade... my DW and I booked an 12 day super disneymoon and in order to save a few quacks we stayed 2 nights at the Poly and the remainder of the trip at the Beach.

Again, to save some bucks I booked the cheapest room at the Poly... upon checking in a bellhop grabbed our bags and loaded them into a cart. He looked at his sheet and said "oh, that Tahiti building... nice views!". My first reaction (internally of course) was... "this a**hole is busting my chops, I know it's a cheap room, don't rub it in". Then we pulled up, he brought our bags... opened the door and there was a view of Space and the Castle.

Yes, a room upgrade... because our Kingdom Konsultant marked EVERYTHING as a honeymoon.

I think a room upgrade is out of the question for us since we're staying on DVC points, but it's nice that it happens on occasion!

Our "Just Engaged" buttons were definitely a conversation starter. We didn't get any freebies or upgrades, but we chatted a lot with CMs and a little with other guests as a result. I think that's the nice thing about celebration buttons. They lift your spirits and make you a little more outgoing.
