EDIT: All our reservations are made! Our dining schedule is below.

I'm plagiarizing this post from my wedding planning thread, but simplifying it so that it's tailored more to the dining schedule. What do you think of our plans?

Saturday, November 2nd
Dinner at Olivia's.

Sunday, November 3rd
Plans are loose for me this day. @pugmalion1 and his friends will golf in the afternoon and I'll probably hang out with other friends at Epcot. We plan to all meet up in the evening for dinner and bowling at Splitsville.

Monday, November 4th
We're having our rehearsal dinner at the Cabana Bar and Beach Club at the Dolphin.

Tuesday, November 5th
This is wedding day! Reception dinner is at Todd English's bluezoo, then we'll head to Jellyrolls for the after-party.

Wednesday, November 6th
We have a "farewell brunch" scheduled in the CoraNation room at Kouzzina.
Dinner at Be Our Guest.

Thursday, November 7th
Food & Wine Festival Marketplaces for brunch.
Late dinner at Via Napoli.

Friday, November 8th
We're planning on spitting the day between Epcot and Hollywood Studios. After we see the Osbourne Lights, we'll head to the Swan and Dolphin for a "progressive dinner" at their restaurants' lounges. No reservations needed!

Saturday, November 9th
No ADRs planned, it's race day! We'll be in EPCOT that night for the finish line party.

Sunday, November 10th
Bongos for dinner. This one is new to us!

Monday, November 11th
We're tentatively scheduled for dinner at Narcoossee's. If we can manage it, we might switch to California Grill after reservations for that restaurant open again.

Tuesday, November 12th
Dinner at Monsieur Paul.

Wednesday, November 13th
We scheduled the wine and cheese tasting that JIko offers on Wednesday afternoons. After that, we'll go back to our room for a few hours, rest, clean up, then head to a late dinner at Victoria and Albert's.

Thursday, November 14th
No dining reservations today, but we are going to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party!

Friday, November 15th
Our last full day in the World, and we'll want to turn in early because our flight departs at the crack of dawn. We''ll stick to Animal Kingdom for dinner, probably either in the lounge at Sanaa or Jiko.

Saturday, November 16th
No rest for the weary! We have to be up before the sun to catch DME back to the airport.

Since we'll definitely have at least one layover, we probably won't get to Old Key West to check in until the early evening, so we're just planning on having dinner at Olivia's and turning in early.

Wednesday, November 6th
We have a "farewell brunch" scheduled in the CoraNation room at Kouzzina. We'll spend the afternoon in the parks with friends and family, and are hoping to snag a dinner reservation at Be Our Guest.

Thursday, November 7th
We're planning on spending the day in Epcot. We'll "brunch" at the Food & Wine Festival, then have a late dinner at Via Napoli.

Sunday, November 10th
We'll check in to Kidani Village after we sleep off the hangover, then probably head to Downtown Disney in the afternoon. Tonight we'll try Bongos for dinner. This one is new to us!

Monday, November 11th
It's a Christmas party night at Magic Kingdom. We are hoping for a dinner at Narcoossee's so that we can see the special Christmas fireworks show from the dock afterward. If we can manage it, we might switch to California Grill after reservations for that restaurant open again.

Tuesday, November 12th
This will be another Epcot day, with our first dinner at Monsieur Paul.

Wednesday, November 13th
In between park hopping, all I know is that we want to try the wine and cheese tasting that JIko offers on Wednesday afternoons. I had trouble booking this last year, so I'm going to try to get in early this year!

Thursday, November 14th
We've planned to try dinner at Boma tonight, but we might end up canceling this reservation if we decide to go to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party instead.

Friday, November 15th
Our last full day in the World, and we'll have our final dinner of our honeymoon at Victoria and Albert's. We planned this specifically for our last night so that we could save the best for last. We're torn right now on whether to book the regular dining room or one of the special tables. Any V&A veterans want to offer their suggestions?

Saturday, November 16th
Departure day. No plans yet as we haven't booked air travel. We'll see how long we have before we have to head back to the airport.

Is it that bad? You only get one honeymoon, right? We're definitely doing a lot of splurging on this visit, including the wedding expenses. At least we'll save (by comparison) on airfare. I'd hate to have to pay the outrageous rates you have to deal with.

I look soooo dorky in the ear headbands, but I love them anyway! I'll remember to wear them in the World Showcase -- you'll know it's me if I'm wearing bridal ears and have a pomegranate Kir in hand.

Haha, although I may want to be Liz Taylor in some senses, I do think I'm getting marriage right the FIRST time. We're already eight years in to the relationship, so I do hope we have it figured out. :)

My strategy is similar, but I prefer the Cosmo slush.

Melissa that list is to die for! Wow! As for V&A, if you dine at the Chef's Table, you will be with other people. It's much more romantic and intimate if it's just the two of you :) Looks like you are going to have an amazing wedding/Disneymoon- congrats and good luck!

Thanks, Pam! That's really sound advice about V&A. Maybe we'll save the Chef's Table for some time other than the honeymoon. I'm sure the experience is amazing, but having it be just the two of us is probably the way to go for this visit.
