In 30 short days, I will be getting married and in 31 days I will be boarding the Disney Dream to begin my honeymoon with my husband! Yikes! 
A Little Introduction
Since this is a honeymoon trip, it will just be my fiancé, Wes and me (Ashley). Last December we took a trip to the World and Wes proposed in front of the Christmas tree outside the Boardwalk Resort where we were staying. It was an amazing trip! It was my first time to see all of the Christmas decorations. It’s such a great time of year to go and now it will have an even more special place in my heart.
us lovebirds on our December trip last year
I had always told Wes that I either wanted to be proposed to, married in, or honeymoon in Walt Disney World. Of course I was really happy after the proposal but I was still pushing for honeymooning in Disney World. Wes wasn’t too thrilled about going because he wanted to go somewhere new and exciting and somewhere we had never been before. Well, luckily Wes’ dad came to the rescue! He suggested that we go on a Disney Cruise! Brilliant! And best of all, he was going to be paying for it with his DVC points. The plans were set and we were going to be cruising on the Disney Dream for our honeymoon! Since the cruise was only 4 nights, I suggested that since we were already going to be in Orlando, we might as well stay a few nights in Disney World.
So our Disney honeymoon was booked! While we are in Disney World, the Food and Wine Festival will be going on at Epcot so we decided that instead of doing our usual park hopping, we will be spending 3 days at Epcot to enjoy the festival. Neither of us have ever been before so we are both really looking forward to it. Wes wanted to try to do some more “grown up” things during this trip since it is our honeymoon and what is more grown up than some food and wine?! Despite trying to be more “grown up” this trip, we are honeymooning in October so we just couldn’t pass up a trip to the Magic Kingdom for MNSSHP! :lol: And Wes even agreed to get some costumes to wear to the party! Since we knew we would be going to Epcot the majority of our trip, we decided that we should stay at an Epcot resort. We decided on the Beach Club since we have never stayed there and it is such a short walk to Epcot.
Here are the current plans for our honeymoon
October 23rd – Board the Disney Dream
It’s up bright and early for us the day after our wedding to catch our 9:35am flight to Orlando then it’s off to the Dream. That should be really fun after our reception ends at midnight. But we will be okay because we can nap by the pool on the Dream!
October 24th – Nassau
Wes and I decided not to get off the ship when we make port in Nassau. I have been to the Atlantis before with my old job and I have some not so fond memories of the place so I really had no desire to go back. So we decided to save some money and stay on the ship to enjoy all that the Dream has to offer. We are going to take advantage of the spa and get a couple’s massage!
October 25th – Castaway Cay
Very excited for this day! Wes wanted to go parasailing so I caved and said okay. Has anyone been parasailing in Castaway Cay? I am a little nervous about it but I figured that if we were going to do parasailing, Disney would be the best bet for safety. Here’s hoping I’m right. :lookaroun We also plan on renting some snorkel gear, floats, and just relaxing the majority of the day. We also have a dinner reservation at Palo this night. Very excited for some adult only dining!
October 26th – Full day at Sea
Nothing planned but lounging by the pool, checking out the ship and relaxing.
October 27th – Leaving the Dream and Arriving at the World
We leave the ship early in the morning and make our way to the Beach Club to begin our WDW part of the honeymoon. Tonight we will go to MNSSHP. We have an early dinner reservation at Tony’s Town Square. We have never eaten there before and I have heard very mixed reviews. I decided to finally try it so I can decide for myself.
October 28th – 30th – Wining and Dining at Epcot
For the last three days of our honeymoon we will be hanging out at the Food and Wine Festival. In addition to the Food and Wine Festival, we decided to go ahead and get the Deluxe Dining Plan! We’re on our honeymoon. We might as well splurge, right? I am really looking forward to all of the food! There is no more worrying about fitting in a wedding dress so we are going all out in the food department.
On the 28th we have breakfast reservations at the Kona Café where I can finally try some Tonga Toast! I am so looking forward to this!! We also have dinner reservations at Jiko, which is Wes’ favorite restaurant.
On the 29th we have breakfast at the Cape May Café, lunch at Via Napoli, and dinner at the California Grill, which is my favorite restaurant. I told you there would be a lot of food this trip!
The 30th, the last day of our honeymoon, we have lunch at Le Cellier before having to head to the airport and back to the real world.
That’s it. We are 30 days out until the wedding and there are still lots of little details left to do. As much as I am really looking forward to the wedding…I kind of also can’t wait until it’s over because that means we are heading for the honeymoon! Woo hoo!
Even though we aren’t having a Disney wedding, we are incorporating some Disney elements that I will share later. Right now, its time for Project Runway! Thanks for reading!
