Considering Disney World for Honeymoon, first timers May stay 2-3 weeks I certainly wouldn't spend 2-3 weeks at Disney. And would wait until the heat subsides. Go in January or Feb. Lots to see and do all over Florida, depending on your likes and dislikes. Personally,IMHO for a honeymoon, an Inn in Key West for a few days would be delightful. Susie Q |

Thanks Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! Personally, I would recommend the time period between (America's) Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thanksgiving is always the 4th Thursday of November. The time period between these two dates is incredible - Christmas decorations are up, there are many special, seasonal activies (such as Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, and the Candlelight Processional, just to name a few). Also, park attendance is at its absolute lowest during this time period, meaning you'll encounter minimal crowds and lines. For lots of information about Disney World, and the activities to do while there, go to www.allearsnet.com. They'll be able to point you in the best direction. Also, remember to check out www.mousesavers.com to save some money (always a good thing when considering such a long trip. And, considering the length of time in which you'll be staying there, you may want to seriously consider an annual pass. For trip longer than 8 days, this is generally the best admission media, and, it can sometimes save you money at a hotel (for instance, we'll be going (in just 4 days!!), and we originally had booked at All Star Movies (a value resort) for $86 a night. With our AP (annual pass) discount for that time period (we did have to change our ressie to All Star Music, b/c no AP discounts were available at Movies), we got our rate dropped to $50 a night! A savings, for us, for $300 (approx) for our 10 day trip. Good luck, and have fun planning! |

We are geting married next August (2004) We have no children Considering Disney World for Honeymoon, first timers Not necessarily going August, anytime Sept to March 2005 There is an entire cult devoted to Disney, search the web for experts. Remember that Disney's aim is to pick you up in a shuttle bus, put you on Disney property and have you spend your entire two weeks - and all of your money- on Disney. There are lots of other attractions in the Orlando area worthy of a visit. Also consider Tampa area for beautiful beaches and museums, Cocoa for beaches, Ron Jon's and the space center, St. Augustine for the oldest city in the U.S. - all day trips - or Miami and Key West for a few days. Staying on Disney property is always fun and very convenient but it can get expensive - look for deals or look for one of the many hotels or vacation rentals available. As someone else already stated, the best time to go is generally early December - decorations and special parades are in season but the kids are still in school so visitation is relatively low. The weather is milder and you are out of hurricane season - no risk of an actual hurricane but the rain and will dampen your day. Chris |

Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! Excellent decision for enjoying
a fun honeymoon, WDW. Will be celebrating my 50th for 21 days at WDW, next month. Been taking annual WDW visits since '76 and staying on-property since about '80. Every few years or so, I'll venture off-property to checkout other central Florida tourist attractions. Staying at a beach resort for a couple days in addition to your WDW vacation is a good idea. Some (well many) years ago, took the family (kids grown now) to the beach for a day. However, I have always felt time at WDW was more enjoyable. My time period preference is for after the U.S. Thanksgiving holidays (commonly the week of 27 November) and before Christmas. Holiday decorations are up, crowds are down, more discounts are available at on-property hotels, and flight discounts are more abundant along with more flight time choices.-Bill Brown -- am (replace nospam with net) "Fall" wrote in message news:1g4vrkw.1pm0ytmdj9pxcN%Fall@yourfeetlikeleave s.org...

We have no children You might want to check your library or bookstore for one of the books written for adults visiting Disney World without kids, such as "Birnbaum's Walt Disney World Without Kids". A little advanced planning can be very helpful when visiting Disney World. And if you are newlyweds, you'd want to know which restaurants are the most romantic, what are the best spots for nightlife, etc. Not necessarily going August I woulnd't go in August unless you really like hot, humid weather. Probably stay in a Disney Hotel The hotels are overpriced, but are nicely-themed and are very convenient. It's especially nice to be able to return to your hotel after lunch to take a break or to cool down in the pool if the weather is hot. May stay 2-3 weeks There are 4 parks inside Disneyworld -- The Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, MGM/Disney Studios, and Animal Kingdom. If you want to visit all 4, you'd probably want to spend at least 1 day at each (although you could probably do Animal Kingdom in less). But you're not going to see everything in the Magic Kingdom or EPCOT in 1 day apiece, especially if it's crowded. You could easily spend 2 or 3 days in each if you really liked them and wanted a more leisurely pace. (In addition to the 4 main parks, they also some secondary areas like water parks, Downtown Disney (shops, nightspots, etc.), golf courses, and some other areas that may or may not be of interest to you.) But unless you're a major, major Disney fan, I don't think you'd want to spend 2-3 weeks there. Maybe 4 days at Disney (perhaps a week if you really like it), then the rest of your time at the other attractions in the area such as NASA, Universal Studios, the beaches, etc. You might also want to consider a short cruise while you're there, if your budget can take it. Disney offers some package deals for people who want to visit the park and also take a cruise on their cruise ships.

And if you are newlyweds, you'd want to know which restaurants are the most romantic, what are the best spots for nightlife, etc. For example, it would be great to splurge and have dinner one night at Victoria & Albert's, WDW's fanciest restaurant. It's at the Grand Floridian, and of course the other deluxe resorts also have very good restaurants. I woulnd't go in August unless you really like hot, humid weather. Amen to that! The hotels are overpriced, but are nicely-themed and are very convenient. You might want to save some money by getting onsite accommodations that have a kitchen so that you can prepare some meals yourselves. (In addition to the 4 main parks, they also some secondary areas like water parks, Downtown Disney (shops, nightspots, etc.), golf courses, and some other areas that may or may not be of interest to you.) I'm just about to go to WDW for the first time in 20 years and am really looking forward to visiting the Adventurers' Club on Pleasure Island. But unless you're a major, major Disney fan, I don't think you'd want to spend 2-3 weeks there. Maybe 4 days at Disney (perhaps a week if you really like it), then the rest of your time at the other attractions in the area such as NASA, Universal Studios, the beaches, etc. I'd suggest longer than that at WDW--maybe a week or 10 days. But yes, there are some other interesting things to do in that part of Florida. You might also want to consider a short cruise while you're there, if your budget can take it. Disney offers some package deals for people who want to visit the park and also take a cruise on their cruise ships. (disneycruise.com) Good idea! For more good suggestions, go to rec.arts.disney.parks. That group has loads of people who are familiar with all aspects of WDW, including specific recommendations for couples. And in addition to the books already suggested, check out Bob Sehlinger's "The Unnoficial Guide to Walt Disney World" and Jennifer Watson and Dave Marx's "PassPorter Walt Disney World." The latter is a combination information source, planning workbook, and trip organizer. I just bought one recently, and it looks very helpful. Most important of all: have a great time! Patty |
