Really, a Disneymoon?

Why in the world pick Disney World as our honeymoon destination? Let me tell you all the reasons!


1.  It’s the mouse’s house and we love Mickey Mouse! See, he loves us too:

2.  It’s “The Happiest Place on Earth.” Duh?! Don’t you watch tv?
3.  If there’s ever a “justified” reason to shell out a wad of cash for a Disney vacation, don’t you think a honeymoon is a good excuse? (Although I really must say that it was actually quite reasonable for the two of us in comparison with some other honeymoon destinations. The FREE Dining Promotion was an added bonus!)
4.  Hotels. There are several Disney resorts, as well as off-site hotels in the Downtown Disney area to accommodate any pocketbook and any desired level of amenities. On-site hotels are just that – they are on-site, so there is no worrying about how to get where.
5.  Food. Lots of it! There are over 100 restaurants on Disney property to curb ANY appetite and any pocketbook.  Mexican? Yep, they’ve got it. Fine dining? Oh, boy do they have it! Burger and fries? Yep, you’ll have to pick a place. Chinese? Yep. Japanese? Yep. Italian? Yep, they’ve got that too. Canadian? Is that what you call food from Canada? I’m not sure. But, they’ve got it – it was one of our best meals. Plain ole American? Yep. Sweets and treats? Um, yeah! Do you get the picture? They’ve got it all. The biggest problem you’ll have over food selection, is deciding where, among all the options, you’d like to go. Look at some of our yummiest meals:

6.  There is a plethora of things to do at Disney – rollercoasters, rides, parades, musicals, character shows, shopping, people-watching(this is a real fun one), swimming, sun-bathing, eating, meeting new people, spa, lounging, going to the movies, resort hopping, going to the beach, taking a cruise, walking the boardwalk, clubs and night life, running, character meet and greets, giggling and/or smiling(a lot), and the list could go on and on. Pretty much anything you can do somewhere else, you can do at Disney. Here we are ready for Philarmagic:

7.  Fireworks. Big ones!

8.  With on-site accommodations, you never have to worry about transportation. They have buses, boats and monorails that can take you anywhere on Disney property. They even have The Magical Express that will pick you up from the airport and take you to your resort. No rental car needed! And, no fighting about making a wrong turn or driving too fast! Disney's Magical Express:

9.  Disney is magical. There’s just something about that place. You can’t help but smile, and you can’t help but rekindle the “kid” in you – you know, that giggly, innocent, excited 6 year old one. I know it’s deeply buried in some people, but if anything will bring it out, I’d put my money on Disney! (Unless you’re of grand-parent age, and then I’d put my money on your grand-kid. Lol.) Like the kid who wanted to pose by the biggest Sorry piece he'd ever seen:

Or the one who gets giggly and excited because she got to take a picture with the one and only Mary Poppins (and, she talks about it all day!):

Or, maybe even the two kids who road Splash Mountain three times in a row and got soaked the last time because one of them (named Jeremy) actually asked for the front seat. 

See, what kids! But, we loved EVERY minute of it!!! 

10.  It can be very romantic – candle light dinners and four course meals to moon-lit walks and fireworks. 

If you think Disney World is just for kids, you are mistaken. Granted, it helps if you are a kid-at-heart, but its certainly not required. One of my happiest moments while honeymooning was standing with my hubby, his arm tightly wrapped around my shoulders, and watching Wishes (night fireworks display at Magic Kingdom). You see, I always cry a little when they play “When you wish upon a star …” at the closing of the display. Yes, I’m a grown adult, but it just pulls at my heart! I cried a little more this time because I was fortunate to be sharing this moment with my sweet husband. “When you wish upon a star … your dreams really do come true.”
