Honeymoon Trip In November

[driley1487]

Hi all!

Having visited with my family on numerous occasions with my family from England, my wife and I are going to head to WDW for a mini honeymoon this November from Canada. I just had a few questions.

How busy are the parks usually from 12th - 14th November? I know Veterans Day is 11th November so we're thinking the following;

12th - Disney Studios
13th - Magic Kingdom (as it's the only day it's open until 9pm that week as opposed to 6pm)
14th - Epcot

Is Epcot still worth it? I adore the park but it sounds like it's undergoing a massive transformation right now.

Lastly, is there anything that can be arranged as it's our honeymoon? I've heard they treat you pretty well when they know you're on a honeymoon but I can't find anything at all.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all!

Be sure to wear "IM CELEBRATING" button that say honeymoon. CM will do things for you.

Is that something I can get there or just one in general?

You can get the buttons there! They also have a “happily ever after” one that a lot of couples wear on their honeymoon/anniversaries.

Related, if you are staying at a Disney resort you can always let the Front Desk know and they can get you the buttons mentioned above and maybe some extra Disney Magic. Disney giving you things is not guaranteed and it varies from CM to CM, sometimes they have gone above and beyond for me when I am celebrating and sometimes I have gotten a congratulations but even that makes the occasion feel even more special!

However, there are a lot of special events you guys could do to make the trip extra special. Off the top of my head, maybe a Happily Ever After Dessert Party, or a dinner at a nice restaurant. If you don't mind going out of the parks some Resorts have fun activities like horse-drawn carriage rides etc that can add an extra romance to the trip.

In regards to Epcot, I still recommend it, yes they are adding a lot of new rides but the rest of the park is still enjoyable and for now construction is not that noticeable. That being said, more construction is set to start soon so that might change. During your visit they will have the International Food and Wine festival at Epcot and that might be a fun activity for you guys on your honeymoon you can walk around the booths and try foods and drinks from around the world. If you haven't been, the festivals at Epcot do not require an extra event ticket, they are included with admission but you do have to pay for the festival food and drinks.

Edit: If you are not staying at a resort you can get the buttons mentioned for free at any merchandise store and/or guest relations!

I am going November 14-18 so I'm curious about the park attendance levels as well. We go every year in either November or December and have tried different weekends each time. So far I haven't noticed much of a difference in crowds other than the weekend we went when it was rainy and cold. Not many people at the parks that day.
