Want to do List for honeymoon:

Drink around the world with our wedding party

MNSSHP at least one of the nights, we did this for the first time when we were there in September (when we got engaged ) and absolutely loved it and are excited to do this again.

RELAX, we are restricting ourselves to only the ADRs we have made already and will go with the flow the rest of the trip. We are just those people and do not want to be stressed about where we are eating and when. Also we do not do FP+ in advance so this will not be part of my trip report. We make those choices as soon as we get to each park

I am also keeping a thread going at Disney Weddings, Honeymoons, and Proposals about the general wedding planning for a WDW wedding, so feel free to follow along there!!

So Disney in their usual being awesome fashion are doing a huge thing for us on October 2nd (well huge in our mind lol) We were a little concerned about our vegetarian menu option for the reception and if any of you have followed along in my posts about planning a Wishes wedding in WDW you will know that we have a number of vegetarians attending our wedding and we wanted to make sure they didn't feel like they were an after thought. So we had picked a white bean ravioli but it was a little bland at our first tasting in April so they are letting us do a second tasting with some more flavor the the morning after we fly in so we don't have to worry about the white bean ravioli being bland

So the unfortunate part of that is we are flying from Grand Rapids to Atlanta, have a 3 hour lay over in Atlanta, and then to MCO arriving around 12:30 AM Locally on the 2nd. Which with MDE means we will arrive around 1:30-2AM at our hotel rooms lol, and then go from Pop Century (our pre-wedding hotel rooms) to the Grand Floridian Convention Center to be ready to eat at 10am!! I am not trying to complain though lol, Disney is doing us a huge favor and this was the only time they had available to even offer this. So it just goes to show never hesitate to ask in Disney

As we are getting closer the thing I am most excited about I think is the dinner at Capa We never could see spending the money to stay at a Four Seasons (... I know we are weird because we are getting married in WDW... and then talk about not spending money to stay at a Four Seasons but it's a whole different level lol...) So it will be nice to get to experience that

Anyway we got our MDE luggage tags this past week in the mail though we don't get to use them because of our late arrival time lol Other than that nothing really exciting to report on the trip planning side other than it is 30 days from today!!!
