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.

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!
