For a while the idea of going to New Zealand for a honeymoon was stuck in my head (in part because fiancé and I really like Lord of the Rings), but I think flying there from the US right after a wedding would be miserable for me. So instead we’re playing it easy and going to Disney! It’ll also be my first time ever going there :3
I CANNOT DESCRIBE IN WORDS HOW EXCITED I AM FOR YOU TO GO TO DISNEY! I grew up in central Florida and I was practically raised in WDW. I wanted a Disney Wedding so bad but it’s so expensive for a wedding that for me is going to be like 5 people max lol. Vow renewal maybe someday when my man and I have more people in our lives. Honeymoon is next best thing. Do you have anything you’re particularly excited for? Any special plans~?
AWW thank you for the excitement!! I’m really excited for the immersion experience and want to do all the little Disney details like wear mouse ears and eat character themed food haha. We’re also going to ball out and stay at the Polynesian resort!
Do you have any must-dos we should fit in the schedule? I’m a planner but still overwhelmed at how much there is!
Omg yes, I’m so happy you’re staying at a deluxe resort <3 It’s perfect for a honeymoon and if you’re gonna do Disney, do Disney!
There is so much! I hope you’re having a decently long honeymoon because I think I would have a stroke trying to plan a shorter Disney trip haha. I would say… if you’re a shopaholic like me, don’t forget about Disney Springs. It’s a perfect little day trip for if you maybe only have a half day on arrival and you don’t feel like hanging around the resort, or if you’ve finished a park in the afternoon (easy to do at Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom) and you want to keep exploring in the evening. The restaurants there are perfect for more mature, romantic evenings while still feeling immersed in Disney.
Please post lots of pictures of your mouse ears and food afterwards!!! I hope your trip is super magical~
I didn’t know anything about Disney Springs so I’m glad I asked, that sounds great!! Thank you! :)
Oh man! New Zealand is on my wishlist because of Lord of the Rings too. We considered a 3-month extended trip for a bit but are now leaning towards something smaller. We also are thinking of going up to a year after our actual wedding since we both just started new jobs after moving to the same city (yay closing the gap after 3 years long-distance!) and I want to build up some PTO/experience/savings where taking a longer period of time off wouldn’t cause hassles.
Right now we’re thinking a combo of France and Australia. France is to see my extended family post-wedding and Australia is because my fiance remembers being really happy during study abroad there and we could go surfing/climbing/adventuring together. Maybe two weeks each? And churning the credit cards to get miles so maybe we’ll get some business/first class flights freeeeeee.
I think delayed honeymoons make a lot of sense and it seems like more people are opting for them! Also congrats on the new job and getting to close the gap!
Might as well pop over to New Zealand if you go all the way to Australia ;) Sounds like an awesome trip!
Hopefully it happens.
I hope you have a ton of fun at Disney!
I totally forgot to answer this! My dream honeymoon is Walt Disney World but I think there’s a fat chance my partner is going to find it very romantic since he’s not a Disney or big crowds kind of person. Instead, I think Austria would be very romantic~. The alps, the architecture, the cute little villages <3
Austria sounds lovely! Maybe do a first anniversary Disney celebration haha!
