We are going to WDW for our honeymoon!!We have both been there now twice together, the first time we stayed off site and the second time we stayed at Port Orleans French Quarters. We went in July and then in December over New Years, both were way tooooo crowded!!!!

We Decided to go on our honeymoon on January 24th!!(Not as Busy) and we are going to be staying for two weeks!!!

Any suggestions of some different things to do? Where to stay? Eat?

Congratulations!

Some things for honeymooners to do:
1.) Book a hotel on property and call ahead and let them know it is your honeymoon. Most hotels will offer upgrades or in-room specials just for you.

2.) Take advantage of "couples" activities like the Spirit of Aloha Show at the Polynesian Resort or an intimate dinner at the California Grill (call ahead and request a window table during the fireworks at MK). If you can afford the price... a nice dinner at Victoria & Alberts is recommended. Call ahead and Scott Hunnel (executive chef) will prepare a special meal for you if you book the Chef's Table.

3.) Book a His and Hers spa treatment at the Grand Floridian mid trip to relax.

4.) Book a Fireworks cruise around the Seven Seas Lagoon.

Lots to do and see.

Congrats! My fiance and I are also going to be honeymooning at WDW...in August/September later this year. We will only be there one week...awesome that you will be there for two.

I found some great things at the link below:

If you find some cool stuff keep us posted as I am trying to come up with other things as well. We'll be staying at Port Orleans Riverside since it is more affordable and it will give us the romantic feeling we are looking for.

FABULOUS. What a great memory this will be. We have tons of memories from Destin, and how can that compare to WDW. Totally jealous.

Wilderness Lodge has honeymoon suites located on the 7th floor off the lobby. There are only 4 available, and they are very secluded.

That's awesome. We did our honeymoon there in '93. Totally magical.

CONGRATS!!! DH and I honeymooned in WDW! We were married in Nov. '06 and honeymooned in Dec. It was absolutely wonderful. I grew up going to Disney but DH did not. He went with my family and I when we were just dating in '05 for the marathon and he said that's where he fell in love with me. So what better place to honeymoon?!

WOW, two weeks! That's awesome! Like Akyriel said, stay on property. If you can afford it, I would recommend a deluxe resort. And tell them it's your honeymoon. When we went we stayed at the Poly and they bumped us up to concierge with a Magic Kingdom view! It was unbelievable! There is so much to do there for couples. We love Narcoossee's at GF. You can request a window seat and time your reservation for Wishes. They pipe the music in or you can step out on the balcony to watch. Jan. is a great time of year to be there, low crowds! I would also highly recommend the couples massage and the GF spa, very relaxing! They do carriage rides at POFQ, that's romantic. DH and I also did alot of ADR's we ate at restaurants we normally do not during our honeymoon.

There are so many magical things to do there! Congrats to you both!!!

Congrats, my wife and I went to WDW on our honeymoon in June of 2008, we stayed at POFQ for a week. Make sure you tell them when you check in that it is your honeymoon, you'll get the just married buttons, wear them in the parks as sometimes you will get a perk (ie. a fast pass or free desert at some restaurants).

have fun!

So you got your "Just Married" buttons at your resort? I thought we would have to go to MK Town Hall to get them. We're planning on going to Epcot first thing when we get there, so having the buttons at our resort would be HUGE! We want that special treatment pronto!

Ok good thing you mentioned it because I thought we had to go to the MK town hall too!! Thanks everyone!! We are so excited, im still trying to talk him into some of the scuba diving adventrues!!!
I wanted to do the Richard Petty Driving, he already races cars so he is just like whatever lol!!! We will see!

If your staying onsite all you have to do is tell the front desk when you check in, you should get it there. Totally worth it IMHO.

boilerbabe · Post by **boilerbabe** » Mar Sat 20, 2010 10:12 am

Yes, joeyflds or correct, if you're staying on property, they will give you your buttons upon your check in!

We are going to be staying onsite. We are really waiting on the pricing and promotions for 2011 to come out before we decide. We are looking at the Poly, FW or the Carb. Beach. Any other suggestions. I was told that he wanted to be able to go back to the hotel and have it feel like we werent in disney. So i figured the values are not a choice.

Port Orleans Riverside, lovely grounds to walk in and they have a Horse and Carriage if you fancy a ride, I'm not sure on the cost of that though it might be expensive.

They also have a really nice sit down restaurant called Boatwright's and there is entertainment in the bar in the evening.

They have a boat service to downtown disney as well.
