Pre-Trip Disneymoon December 2013

I have never done a trip report or pre-trip report but after reading so many wonderful reports, I thought I would give it a try.

My name is Lindsey and my "soon to be hubby" is Mike. Mike is 32 and I am 31. I am from Birmingham, Alabama and Mike is from West Palm Beach, Florida. However, Mike moved to Guntersville then to Birmingham. We met online 4 years ago as we were both looking for a friend to just hang out with. The rest is history!!

I can't begin to tell you how excited I am to be honeymooning in Disney. It really is a dream come true. After many years of no vacations, we finally decided to simply check out prices for a trip back in September of 2012. The deal was no commitments just get prices. Well, after hearing about the low flight prices, Mike said "go ahead and book them." Wait.... What???? So our February 2013 trip was on. I had been to Disney with my high school dance team in 1998 and he had been once as a small child. I was ecstatic!!!! I have always been amazed by Disney and I can honestly say it is my most favorite place in the world. AS the trip neared, I was a nervous wreck but all went well and we had a blast. I am most definitely the "Disney Fanatic" but Mike is a landscaper and loves the landscaping and the sights.

We got engaged in February 2013 right before our first trip but haven't been able to decide on wedding plans until September 2013. We planned another trip in about May 2013 and had planned to go again in February 2014 but schedules are crazy and we couldn't work it out so December 2013 it is. We have decided to fly out on Monday, December 9 and return on Sunday, December 15. We will spend 6 days in the park since out flight should land about 11:45 on Monday. We always stay in a Value resort so we will have extra money for other things. We are only in the room to sleep and for 2 people it is the perfect size.

After planning this trip, Mike decided (in September) we should get married at his parent's house in Guntersville on November 9th (OMG- 2 months of planning). It is a beautiful place and I am so excited to have a low-key wedding. So our December Christmas Trip has now become the Disneymoon of a lifetime!!!

Day by Day plans coming soon... Any comments or suggestions are most welcome too!!!

Need some help... We are planning on letting DME pick up our bags and transport them to the hotel for us but last trip we took 3 bags but only received 2 tags. Can you request more tags? If we decide to just get them ourselves and take them on the bus with us, what happens when we get to the resort if our room isn't ready. We have an early ADR in DtD and we plan to head directly to MK after dinner. What is the best thing to do?

1) Yes, you can call and request more tags. Just call the Disney Travel Company, and they'll ship them out to you.

2) If your room isn't ready when you check in (unlikely, Disney is very good about turning over rooms quickly for early arrivals) you can check your bags with bell services at the resort. They will deliver them to your room when it is ready.

3) Don't worry...

Thanks for the information. #2- We are staying at a value resort- Do they take care of this at the Value Resorts too?

Do you prefer using their bag pick-up or picking them up yourself and taking them on DME with you?

Well this time next Monday, we will be living it up in Magic Kingdom. **hopefully** We received our magic bands but we haven't received our packets with luggage tags, etc. from AAA. I also got word from the hubby that there is a threat of an ice storm for Monday morning. Praying hard for an easy flight and a smooth departure.
