Went to the World for a honeymoon Oct. 19th through Oct. 30th. Let me start out by saying the castmembers really do go out of their way to make you feel special when celebrating something. No, we did not wear the wedding ears the whole time but we did wear our Just Married pins every day and I'd say 80% of the castmembers that saw us said Congratulations. I'm hoping to post some pictures soon but I took over 1,000 of them and it's been a bit busy since we got back.
We were on the deluxe dining plan. By the end of the vacation, we were canceling table service dinners because we had eaten so much food over the week and a half. Some of the great places we ate dinner: Narcoosies, Flying Fish, California Grill, Le Cellier. All top notch. We also did a few character breakfasts at Chef Mickey's, Cape May Cafe, and Crystal Palace.
Stayed at the Grand for 3 nights and the Beach Club (1 Bedroom Villa) for the rest of the vacation. Grand was very elegant and nice and we are glad we did it, but something is definately lacking over there. It's almost too nice or too isolated...hard to put into words. I know it was strange everytime we walked into our building, Big Pine Key, and no one was around compared to the Beach Club and Boardwalk lobbies you walk through to get outside. Big Pine Key was great though with a view you can't beat. Our room on the 2nd floor overlooked the 7 Seas Lagoon, and when I say overlooked I mean it was right there. We also had an amazing view of the Contemporary, the boats, MK's entrance, and of course the castle. We watched Hallowishes fireworks from the balcony after a great dinner at Narcoosie's and that was simply magical. I've been going there since 1982 and it was the first time i ever saw the 7 Seas Lagoon nightly show, it was pretty cool.
Went to MK on the 20th. I posted this already in another thread but the place was mobbed. 60-90 minute waits for Space, Splash, Big Thunder, and most of Fantasyland. That was a huge disappointment after going in 09/07 and walking onto rides. We were also exhausted from the crazy wedding weekend in Philly. I reccomend that anyone taking a honeymoon at Disney either don't fly down the day after the wedding, or don't go into the parks the first full day you are there. You will be exhausted, we definately were.
I rented a Searaycer at the Grand and that was an amazing experience. First time doing that in the 7 Seas Lagoon...nothing quite like being in a boat looking at the train station and the castle right there.
