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!!

Thanks!! We are pretty excited but are nervously awaiting our bill, we have a set amount we are willing to spend on the wedding so we will see where it falls in line, we don't want to sacrifice our honeymoon so we will see :)

Sounds like this has been a long time in planning - enjoy yourselves :)

We first went to WDW together after dating around 4 months in 2011 (my first time as an adult her first time to WDW though she grew up going to DLR) almost immediately after that we decided this was what we wanted, we went through a lot to get here but now we are and the days aren't counting down fast enough lol!!

Congrats on your quickly approaching wedding and Disneymoon! Sounds like your plans are going to be memorable. Enjoy.

Thanks!! We hope they are, and that nothing too horrible goes wrong like her dress getting lost in shipping lol... Now I need to knock on wood lol....

Congratulations, you two! Looks like you're going to have an amazing wedding and vacation :D

Thanks!!

I am always surprised to find other people from Michigan on these boards lol, I think it is because I have only lived in Michigan sense January so my heart still belongs in Wisconsin lol... Have a great time on your trip!! It'll be here before you know it lol...

So great!! Congrats on your engagement. We'll be down there during the first couple of days of your trip! Looks like it will be an amazing celebration.

Thanks!! It should be a blast down there :) We love that time of the year in WDW still warm enough for shorts and t-shirts but not as busy as later in October or around the Christmas celebrations :) Have fun on your trip!! :)

So Exciting Update to our plans today :) As many of you know today Chef Mickey's opened up for brunch reservations so on Wednesday October 7th instead of Ohana we are doing a brunch ADR at Chef Mickey's which is better because we are all staying at the Contemporary at that time :) (There are many notes in our reservations to keep our rooms far apart... It's our honeymoon lol...:rolleyes:)

That is all I have for now, nothing really new to report until we get closer I guess lol but we are so excited only around 4 and a half months left!!!

Only 4 months to go!! (well from yesterday lol) I don't see any of our ADR's changing though in that time :) After watching a marathon weekend of HP we decided we are going to spend a day at UNI just in that area, my Fiancée isn't crazy about HP but I am so she is doing it for me :)

We've updated our plans to eliminate most of our ADRs... It's our honeymoon... we don't want to plan everything and this was pushing it... So our ADRs now are as follows:

Wed Oct 7th: Brunch with Groom's parents at Chef Mickeys; Dinner with Bride's brother at Teppan Edo.

Tues Oct 13th: Capa at Four Seasons for a late dinner and hopefully firework viewing :)

Wed Oct 14th: Sanaa for a late dinner

Friday Oct 16th: Monsieur Paul for another late dinner :)

Also we have updated our plans a bit in that we have locked them down.

Tues Oct 6th: will be a Universal Day with the groomsmen and their families to see the new HP area :)

That is all we have currently :) Only 34 days until our flight :)
