Disney World Honeymoons.

I can understand the choice if only for the accommodations, the restaurants, the attractions, the climate.

What I'll never understand is how the newlyweds agree to wear those insipid mouse-ears hats (top hat for grooms, veils for brides). They're not five years old, y'know?

2. Does seem a bit juvenile. Maybe it's one last cry out for attention.

If I planned on having a family, rather than spending a fortune going there on a honeymoon, I'd save that $$ and take my future child or children, when they are old enough to appreciate it.

12. There's an expression - you are never too old to have a happy childhood

All sorts of adults - young/old; gay/straight, with kids/without kids - like to spend every moment of their spare time at Disney World. To me, it's not too different than adults who want to spend all of their spare time in Vegas - there is just no gambling.

11. Weddings at Disney and honeymoons there are huge business

You can't get married in the park anymore except under really unusual circumstances. But they have a huge wedding pavilion by the lake at the Grand Floridian. Depending on what you are willing to spend, the bride can arrive in Cinderella's horse-drawn, glass pumpkin carriage.

My wife and I did not honeymoon in Disney, and we kinda regret it.

It was fun. Disney does a great job. My daughter and my son in law ended not wearing the hats. My daughter and I were in the lobby of the hotel waiting to walk down the aisle and a little girl saw my daughter in her dress and yelled “ look, a Disney princess”.

5. People have fixations. Just like sports, wilderness, space, fanatics. Theirs is Disney.

It was almost 36 years ago. We had a ball. We took our kids back when they were little. Our son went back a couple of years ago when they were trying to get over a failed adoption. They had some fun in the midst of some bodacious pain. Y’all are too damn judgmental.

10. You get stuff

Not huge things - this isn't Oprah giving out cars - but you get little stuff here there and everywhere, Also, you get photographed everywhere in Disney, so you want the goofy hats for the honeymoon photos.

he chose it because it had a nude beach and he wanted to be able to lie on it. I told him he should cover up his very pink body to keep from "sunburning in an area you don't want to be sunburned on your honeymoon."

He got the message and covered up...
