- Wedding: March 2016
I’d say if you had the option, do Italy. Me and Fiance are Disney fanatics, got engaged there, but we’re only doing a day in Disney right before a honeymoon cruise. I probably could do without it, but because we got engaged there, I wanted to go again with the ears and just married feeling. But I don’t recommend it for a honeymoon. It requires so much planning, and it can be overwhelming planning it all with a wedding. I’d say do Italy, and try to do Disney in a year or two. Make that the next thing to plan after the wedding. That way you get both.
Wow. I didn’t get any further notifications and so didn’t realise people were still replying! Thanks everyone. Some great perspectives here and I really appreciate them all.
so, I’ve done the romantic Disney trip as an adult (with an ex) and it was a BLAST. I really really loved it.
Disney has stellar resorts, incredible food, and depending on the time of year you go is mercifully empty so you can really enjoy yourself. They also cater to honeymooners and will give you incredible treatment.
HOWEVER.
You are going to a theme park. little kids, sticky fingers, lines… it’s fun and I think it’s a great trip but I don’t know if I would 100% suggest it for a honeymoon. It can be quite romantic though (I would suggest staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge if you do this btw)
I would pick Italy over Disney, but I live in Canada. I can get to Disney quickly and for next to nothing… being from the UK, you can spend a long weekend in Rome basically whenever you want whereas I have to drop several grand and fly 7 hours to get there.
lots to think about, but you will have a beautiful honey moon wherever you go π
Italy all the way!
I am probably the biggest Disney World freak I’ve ever met in person lol. BUT as an American I would LOVE to travel to Italy. Honestly, I think value wise, as a non-US resident, you will get more for your money in Italy. However, Disney World is amazing and worth every penny. I want to mention too that Disneyland and Disney World is WAY different. There are way more things to do in Disney World and you can easily spend over one week. I don’t think people realize how much land and how many parks Disney World has. Either way, you’re gonna have an awesome time π
My parents have a timeshare in Disneyworld, so I have the opportunity to go about every 3 years. It is a fun place. There are many things for adults to do. If you go, my favorite thing there is the special behind-the-scenes safari adventure at Animal Kingdom. You pay extra for this, but it was super awesome. You get a personal tour of the animal exhibits, a lunch, and lots of photos. If you go, make sure you avoid peak times like the plague. We went over Christmas/New years once, and it was terrible. Go in the offseason, and it will be less crowded and way cheaper. Staying on the monorail, or within walking distance of one of the parks, is ideal. Animal Kingdom lodge is *gorgeous*, but the buses are annoying to use. Also, book reservations for as many meals as possible in advance.
All that said, I would never personally pick Disney for a honeymoon. It is just kind of chaotic and artificial. We went to Hawaii so we could do ziplining and horseback riding and boat rides etc. But, I have been to Disney a bunch of times. If this is your once-in-a-lifetime chance to go to Disney, you can certainly make a great trip out of it.
I think UK bees see it differently because Italy is so close, accessible and relatively cheap. My Fiance has never been to the US, but we both love roller coasters and good food. We are Disney crazy but I do love Disneyworld. I also want to go before we have kids and are consumed with queuing in July for 4 hours to meet Elsa. Also I love a holiday that needs detailed planning, it’s half the fun for me!!
As above, we are splitting our time at an all inclusive in Jamaica which neither or us have been before.
I can’t believe that people think that Rome is more relaxing than Disney. Rome is such a large chaotic, bustling city and Disneyworld is a resort where every detail is planned for the visitor’s entertainment.
These are two very different trips. One is about culture and history and the other is about great service and entertainment.
OP, I don’t hate Disney but I’m with sith, give me two days in Italy over two weeks at Disney.
