Honeymoon - Part 1

We’re already coming up to 7 months since our wedding day if you can believe it! Which also means it’s been nearly 7 months since our epic two-week Disney honeymoon :( We miss it everyday and often (semi) joke about cancelling all our plans for 2024 and heading back to WDW.

So, because we were at Disney World for so many days, I’ve decided to split this into 4 parts. If you’d rather experience our vacation in video form (that’s our preferred way of re-living the memories!), we have a 40 minute video on YouTube. Click here to watch it!

Each evening as we sat in lounge chairs by the pool, we reflected on the day and made a list of notes to remember what happened. Rather than weaving this into long-winded paragraphs (and given I’m already very late to sharing these posts!), I thought I’d share the list of memories as they’d been documented. Read through and imagine Aaron and I sitting by the pool after a day of sweltering Florida sun and chatting over the day’s events :)

DAY 1: TRAVEL DAY

Taxi to airport. Easy smooth check in, security & customs. Starbucks coffee & looked through our wedding photography sneak peek. Early lunch (airport sandwiches). 5 hour flight to Orlando!

Pretty mountain view (goes forever). Arrived at MCO, got temporarily lost trying to exit. Grabbed a taxi to French Quarter. Checked in, got our magic bands and "Happily Ever After" badges. Had dinner, then ice cream near pool.

DAY 2: EPCOT

Slept in. Bus to Epcot. Joffrey's & aquarium. Food & wine fest for lunch: Crispy duck bao & chicken dumplings, raclette cheese & dark chocolate fondue. Spaceship Earth. Back to hotel. Swim. Marshmallows by the campfire. Salmon for dinner. Mickey cheesecake along the river. On the way back to the room, we watched Disney trailers on the outdoor screen.

DAY 3: DISNEY SPRINGS

Got up a little earlier. Ferry to springs. Located Gideon's, lasted about 5 mins of the 40min wait (already too hot!), grabbed Joffrey's instead. Had a mediocre cupcake (french toast flavour). World of Disney for way too long - hunted for a bag and left with a hat and some minnie ears. Blaze pizza for lunch. Quick trip to Sephora! Second Disney merch store (no luck).

Ferry back to French Quarter. Swim, shower, dinner. Discovered a cozy bar (it was here the whole time)! Old fashioned 👌

DAY 4: MAGIC KINGDOM

Saw the queue and delayed bus and decided to grab an Uber instead. Oops left my backpack in the hotel room - cheers Aaron for rescuing it lol.

Straight to Haunted Mansion. It's a Small World. LL for Little Mermaid. LL for Barnstormer. Lunch at Crystal Plaza - met Tigger! LL for Pirates. Sunscreen melted into my eye :(
