Talking Our Very Merry December Disneymoon - Pre-Trip Report

Hi, everyone! I'm new here, but I've been lurking and reading trip reports for a while, so I figured I'd try to do my own pre-trip report. Hope I'm doing this right!

Who?



Me - Lauren (25) and Glenn (25), my fiance

What?

A very Christmas-y, very Disney honeymoon trip!

When?

We're getting married in mid-November, but we decided to do the honeymoon December 1st - 10th - avoiding the Thanksgiving crowds! Plus, I love Christmas, and I've never seen Disney at Christmas before!

Where?

Well, Disney World, duh We'll be staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, concierge level! I'm so excited!

Why?

The last time I went to Disney was for a four day trip with my girl scout troop in early 2001, and most of my memories are of how much fun I had and how much I wished I could stay longer! Glenn's never been to Disney before , and we wanted to do something that would be relatively cheap and not require a passport. Plus, I thought, how much planning could possibly go into a Disney trip? Ooooh, little did I know!!! Now I've got planning guides all over the place, ADRs out the wazoo, tons of tips saved in various files all over my hard drive, and I'm even dreaming of Disney planning!

Hope this is a good start - I'll post by ADRs and general plans later

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding and Disneymoon. You will love every minute of your Disneymoon, we did on ours in 2000. Be sure to get the bride and groom hats on your first day, we didn't know about them and got ours a few days in. Everyone was so wonderful and it made it all more special, as if it wasn't enough already. Have a great wedding and a fantastic Disneymoon!

Pre-planning

Here's what I have so far for planning:

Here's our general plan. We have ADRs for all the table service restaurants. I called right at the 180 day limit, but still ended up with some weird times.

Day 1, Monday - Arrival

We'll arrive sometime in the early afternoon. No plans so far - just whatever we feel like doing!

Day 2, Tuesday - Magic Kingdom

Lunch - Cosmic Rays
Dinner - 'Ohana

We'll also be going to MVMCP!

Day 3, Wednesday - Magic Kingdom

Lunch - Pecos Bill Cafe
Dinner - Cinderella's Royal Table

Day 4, Thursday - Epcot

Lunch - Sunshine Season
Dinner - Biergarten

Day 5, Friday - Animal Kingdom

Lunch - Flame Tree BBQ

Wanyama (the sunset safari, which includes dinner at Jiko)

Day 6, Saturday - Epcot

Lunch - Kringla Bakery
Dinner - Rose & Crown

Day 7, Sunday Disney Hollywood Studios

Lunch - Toy Story Pizza
Dinner - Hollywood & Vine Fantasmic Package

Day 8, Monday - Free

Dinner - Artist Point

Day 9, Monday - DisneyQuest

Glenn and I both love video games, so we figure this'll be a fun thing to do.

Dinner - Raglan's

Cirque du Soleil

Day 10, Tuesday - Departure

We'll be leaving around 5pm.

I've done tons more planning - but I don't think anyone would be interested in my daily index cards that list the touring plans, plus park times, all parades, and our ADRs! I may be just *slightly* obsessed

Congratulations. Thanks for sharing your plans. It sure looks like you have done your homework. The meals are great. Be sure the table service restaurants know that you are on your honeymoon. Get you newlywed badge from guest services and wear it every day. You will really be surprised by the CMs. Best Wishes.

Your plans sound great! Believe me I think most if not all of the people on this board understand the planning obsession, me included. If you haven't been yet, you will absolutely love Cirque De Soleil. I recommend getting there a little early, they entertain the audience before the show starts and it is lots of fun. I only wish we were going during the MVMCP, we arrive just after it ends. Can't wait to hear more!
