Honeymooning at WDW

Have any of you went on your honeymoon to WDW???

What may you decide to chose WDW?
Were you ever at WDW prior to your honeymoon?
What hotel did you stay at?
What was your favorite restaurant?
What was your favorite ride?
What was your most romantic moment?
Did you get preferential treatment anywhere?
Did you do something special and out of the ordinary?

Basically tell us all about it and give some newly married couples some hints or tips on what to do? Please feel free to share your favorite memory or moment from your honeymoon if you want....

Thanks for sharing!!!

I know I have probably posted this before, but what the heck. My new husband and I went to WDW for our honeymoon and the first thing my new prince and I got were bride and groom Mickey ears, and let me tell you they made our whole trip! We were given front row seats, we got small gifts, people took our picture, free advice, and our favorite..we got to ride major rides all by ourselves! We purchased the picture of us on splash mountain because we were in a log all alone What a memory! Our first night in Disney we went to the magic kingdom {of course} and ending up eating a very late dinner, well when we finally finished eating we realized that the park was closed and we were basically all alone on main street! One of the best memories I have is standing in front of the beautifully lit castle with no one around hugging like it was all just for us. We have some video of "our" light show with the music in the backround..it is truly magic!

As for the other questions:

I always wanted to go to WDW and neither of us had ever been. I won a trip to Hawaii but my DH let us toss it in order to go to WDW. Now that is love

I think all the rest are answered

There are tons of threads on this subject so I'm sure if you did a search you would get tons of information

Yeah. I love this topic.

Husband and I went to WDW in April 98. Stayed at Wilderness Lodge for 1 week.

We chose Disney because we simply wanted to get away from it all. Lounging on a beach I can still sometimes be worried about sisters and parents etc. At disney you are so distracted it's a great thing. And husband had never been before.

Our first park was Magic Kingdom. (We had no idea about the ears. Why didn't I know Shelly back then!) My husband loved it. Most restaurants did something special for us. They would overdecorate the table with confetti, or something. At Chef Mickey's on our one week anniversary our waitress made us this little cupcake desert thing then serenaded us. It was so sweet.

We met another couple honeymooning but the wife commented that she didn't tell anyone as she didn't want any embarassment. Her choice.

As I've mentioned before the most romantic thing we did was watch the EWP from the beach at Wilderness Lodge.

We used our flex feature for pics with Mickey from Downtown Disney. I love that picture. We sent pics to our friends and families via the email stations at Innoventions in Epcot. They've all kept them, sometimes they send them back to us on our anniversary and ask if we still look this happy.

It was wonderful. Some of my friends think it was silly for us to go there, but my husband and I had known each other for 4 years prior to even dating. Then dated for 3. We've had a lot of time to look longingly at one another. It was better for us to be zooming around on rides for our honeymoon. To each his own.
