Only a few months late here but it has been such a busy fall/winter that I am just now getting around to this. Hope you all enjoy!
Who: Myself (Molly) & my Husband (Tony)
Where: Walt Disney World; Coronado Springs
When: Sept. 5th- 13th 2015
Why: Our Honeymoon!
A few wedding pictures
OK enough of that!
Just a little back story if you did not read my pre-trip report. Tony and I got married on April 11th and decided that instead of rushing and taking a less expensive honeymoon right after the wedding, that we would wait a few months and go when it was much more affordable and we had more PTO stocked up. We played around with the idea of going somewhere like Mexico or Costa Rica, but couldn’t imagine spending such a special trip anywhere but our favorite place on the whole planet, Disney World! My family thought we were crazy, they “don’t do Disney” and they don’t understand the obsession but when it came down to it, I would rather hear “why don’t you just try somewhere new” one million times from them than miss out on a chance to spend our honeymoon at OUR place.
Please note that I took most of my pictures with my iPhone 6 so they aren't the best quality!
So going anywhere but Disney was just not an option for our honeymoon. Here we go…
Day one:
Our first day was a travel day, we were going over labor day weekend so we could save that free Monday of using our PTO, so we were expecting maybe a little madness while traveling but everything went completely and totally smooth. We flew out of Omaha early Saturday and landed in Atlanta sometime around 10am. We had a little bit of time so decided to wander around and found a bar. Hey why not, we were on our honeymoon!
mimosa for me & bloody mary for Tony.

After our drinks, we were on our way to MCO. A quick flight and a slow jog to DME and we were loaded up and heading to Coronado Springs.
Magic Bands on!!
We didn’t know what to expect staying at a moderate, Tony mostly stayed at the value resorts, and that is where we stayed when we went on our last trip. Man were we impressed. I had read mixed reviews but I was really blown away with how pretty everything was. I now feel like I am spoiled and not sure if I can ever do the value resorts again. Gorgeous views, beautiful restaurants, bars and pools, and the best thing of all 10 MINUTE BUS RIDE TO EACH PARK. I mean that cannot be beat!
Our room was awesome as well, we requested a water view room near a bus stop and we got a ground level, water view room right next to a bus stop. It was incredible, and by this point we were on that Disney high. Oh did I mention they gave us a free champagne toast when we checked in? It was a certificate that said we could redeem two free glasses of champagne at any bar at the resort. That was moved up to the top of our to do list. We got settled in our room, we planned on resting for a little bit because MK was opened until 2 am that night, but the excitement was at its peak and we quickly got dressed and boogied.
First stop, the waterfront bar at our resort. We redeemed our champagne toast here (everyone clapped and cheered in congratulations) and we sat at a little table overlooking the lake and our gorgeous home for the next week and took everything in. A few sips into the drink and we quickly realized there was no way we could finish the whole glass, this bar did not have the typical toasting glasses, just small plastic cocktail cups that the bartender filled to the brim (I am guessing it was somewhat closer to 2 glasses each haha).
We had a few little creatures come and visit us, I think they hoped we had snacks but only champagne, sorry dudes.
We sipped, then we slammed and 3/4th of the way through we decided to head to MK.

Moesby R2-D2 JFK Cavalieri... the official name he was given since Tony would not let me name him just R2-D2 or just JFK.
