Okay so it's been too long since we went on our Disney World Honeymoon, but I thought I'd come back and report anyway. We took full advantage of the Disney Honeymoon Registry. Our guests kept telling us how awesome it was to be able to buy us experiences and virtually help us celebrate our honeymoon. We were given dinner at Be Our Guest, the Memory Maker, a horse drawn carriage ride at Fort Wilderness, dinner at Citricos, and an in room celebration that included etched wine glasses, chilled champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate truffles, a Mickey bottle opener, embroidered personalized bathrobes which they had laying on the bed and they positioned them like they were holding hands, embroidered Bride and Groom Mickey ear hats (which we did wear every other day, cause THEY ARE HOT). I'd say the biggest benefit of the Honeymoon Registry was the experiences purchased for us enabled us to see parts of WDW that we wouldn't have seen. We were there 8 days and it was only our 2nd time there (me in 2007, him in '95).
We didn't make reservations at Be Our Guest (I know SHOCK!!!) We called the morning that we thought we'd like to go and asked if they had any tables for dinner for 2, and THEY DID!!!! Our hotel was AWESOME! We were upgraded to a suite, and the pool and lazy river were a quick walk. The downside was the buses were frequently full by the time they got to us. We did use LYFT 3 or 4 times as it was always faster and less expensive than Uber. We never paid more than $5 for a ride. Disney Springs is across the street, but it is a LOOOOONNGGG walk. Chicken Guy was SOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOODDDDD!!!!! We got the celebration buttons. I'm disappointed that they changed to a generic celebration button. Even the Cast Members wish they would bring back the Honeymoon buttons because "it always looks like we're staring at people's chest!"
We did a DVC tour and got two $75 Disney Gift Cards and it took less than an hour. We did get to experience Food and Wine Festival at Epcot. The best tip we got was to get the pamphlet first and pick what you want to try. If we hadn't done that we would have missed some YUMMY stuff! We simply cannot WAIT to go back for anniversaries!
One more thing, SO SO SO SO SO many matchy matchy group tee-shirts. So many, oh god the humanity!
