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?

(26,259 posts)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.

(5,790 posts)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.

(145,129 posts)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.

(41,959 posts)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. Yall are too damn judgmental.

(63,903 posts)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...
