However, a restaurant my wife and I find to be even nicer and certainly quieter and more romantic is Shula's at the Dolphin Resort. Great food, service and a very nice atmosphere.

You make a great point. Shula's is great. We haven't been there in like 8 years, but from what I remember, the food was amazing. If you want to do something nice for Illuminations, you can go ahead and schedule a late dinner at Rose and Crown and watch Illuminations from there. They have a nice little vantage point.

I think PO Riverside is a good choice. It's a nice, quiet, out-of-the-way resort. Perfect for the "us"-time you want to have during a honeymoon. I'll bow to the others as to which parks/resorts have the best restaurants.

You are just going to love your honeymoon in WDW! It can be so very romantic. Did you tell them when you booked that it's your honeymoon?! Make sure they know!

Cal. Grill is a good suggestion and another good spot is Narcoossee's! It's our all time fav. for a special occasion. You have a fantastic view of Wishes from there as well as the water light parade.

I ate a California Grill the last time I was down there (Jan 2009) and watched Wishes from there...TOTALLY AWESOME!!!

I will try my best to do that again, but only after we have seen Wishes from Main Street USA because I have never seen it from there strangely enough. I have seen it from the rest of the MK resorts...but never from the MK itself.

I will also try the Rose & Crown for Illuminations...maybe on the first night we are there. I'm loving the ideas from everyone! Please keep them coming!

Do you have an iPhone? You can do ADR's through there. There's an app for that at WDW. Can even give you menus too (gives you an idea of what each restaurant has to offer).

Congrats! My DW and I honeymooned at WDW twice. We eloped the first time, and on our 10th anniversary we brought guests. My suggestions for some "don't miss(es)" are:

Restaurants:
Sanaa in Animal Kingdom Villas
Flying Fish at Boardwalk
Breakfast at Kona in the Polynesian

Attractions:
Draw some characters at the Animation Station in Hollywood Studios
The Luau at the Polynesian - tell them you are just married and you may get to lead the dance
Watch Illuminations from the Japanese Tea Room (can't remember the name)
Take the walk from Old Key West to Downtown Disney or Saratoga Springs and back.
Ride the Baloon at Downtown Disney

Hope some of these can help.

I second, third, etc the recommendation for the California Grill. Pricey but worth it. Our server was courtesy enough to have the chefs wait on our meal (we had late reservations) so that we could view Wishes from the balcony/roof. Absolutely fantastic experience!

Congratulations

Anyplace in Disney will be romantic as long as each of you brings your love for the other along with you!

I wish for the both of you that it's a truly magical experience and hope to read all about it!

Well, at least all the parts that are least fit to print! And while we know you'll enjoy those parts you would share with us, I aso I hope both of you enjoy those other parts very much too.
