Who?
Me (Kayleigh) and my fiancé Jon. We've been together about six years now and we're getting married 17th November this year. We're from the UK and I've been to WDW probably six times, always with family, and Jon's been once before. I love to plan so Disney is my dream trip (we used to joke when we were younger that my mum had everything scheduled down to toilet stops, so I think I got it from her!). Jon however is much more relaxed and spontaneous, however I think he's accepted that you have to plan things for Disney and is happy to take a back seat while I plan away to my heart's content!
(Apologies for the faraway picture of us, but there really are very few pictures of us together!)
What
Honeymoon! We discussed honeymoon destinations for ages, debating many options - we took a road trip around the Deep South last year so we were keen on doing something similar but eventually decided we'd like to do Disney with a tiny bit of exploring thrown in.
When
We're going 20th November, three days after we get married, until 4th December, flying from Manchester airport. This puts us right over Thanksgiving, but neither of us wanted to delay the honeymoon for ages after the wedding and the prices weren't too bad (for a Disney holiday!). Also Jon is a soldier so we're a bit more limited on leave.
Where
We'll be flying from Manchester airport and staying at Caribbean Beach Resort. My dream would be to stay at the Polynesian, but there is no way the budget stretches to that! It wasn't much more to stay at CBR than one of the All Stars or Pop Century, probably due to the construction. I'm hoping the construction to the main part of the resort (Centertown etc) will be done by the time we go, but if not, I'm not really worried because we only plan to really sleep at the hotel, most of the meals I have planned are in the parks or other resorts.
So, that's the basic rundown of the trip basics, I'll be back later with my preliminary plans for each day and meals etc. I've already planned and replanned the itinerary about five times since we booked the trip and my ADR day still isn't for over a month!
Thanks for reading!
