You will have a wonderful time, I'm sure. The DH and I usually go a couple times each year. We are Vacation Club members and have been going this way for several years now.

May I ask if you are staying on Disney Property? I would recommend it if the costs are not prohibitive. Lots of people stay off property and we did the first time we went with our kids and we hated it. Disney does such a good job of taking care of their guests, it would save you a lot of time and hassle to just stay where the action is. All the transportation is provided by Disney unless you like driving around and it would save you a lot of gas money to leave the driving to them.

If you already have booked reservations off property then I'm sure you will have a wonderful time. Just be sure to take your time. You're never going to get to see everything in one trip, unless you have about a month to vacation. LOL I would recommend picking up a guide to Disney where they offer advice on which rides to head for first and such. Be sure to make your meal reservations early as most of the really good restaurants on site get full early. Don't wait till you get there to book reservations for meals if you're doing something very fancy. I could recommend reservations for Victoria & Alberts restaurant at the Grand Floridian Hotel (on site). They serve a seven course meal that is just to die for!! We went for our 30th anniversary dinner and even though it's rather high prices, it's worth every penny!! Treat yourself if you can. There is also the Be Our Guest restaurant in the Magic Kingdom that is new. They also give great service with wonderful meals. Worth the price.

As far as other restaurants go...we really like San Angel Inn (Mexico on the World Showcase). They have the best Mexican food I've ever had. Nothing you will get outside Disney in the USA. We also love the fish & chips at the British quarter on the World Showcase. They you absolutely MUST get dessert in France. It's the absolute best. As you can tell, we have become foodies at DW.

As for the rides, the guide book will give you suggestions and information on the rides at the different parks so you can pick and choose how and what you want to do from that.

We drive down from Illinois when we go and have developed a routine. First day there, we usually get in around 10 or 11 am and when we're done unpacking and picking up groceries, we hit the pool for the rest of the afternoon and then go somewhere nice for dinner. They we can get a good nights rest to go full steam ahead the next day.

I'm sure however you plan your honeymoon (maybe you won't even leave your room), you'll have wonderful memories for the rest of your lives and who knows, you can always go back again!! Congrats and happy planning!
