S/O Spooky Season Disney Honeymoon

[fryjack2]

Where did you honeymoon?

Add why if you want to type more words. I know some of you will

[TR]

First time - Secrets in Riviera Maya. Because it was what you did in 2010 lol

Second time - We didn’t really have a honeymoon, we were in Red Lodge for the Christmas week with our families. I consider the long weekend in San Miguel de Allende we had 9 months later to kind of be our honeymoon 🤣

[sproctopus]

New Orleans because I like to eat.

[circa1978]

Also New Orleans!

ETA: Oh, why. We were from Florida and lived on the beach so that wasn't super attractive as an option. We made a Habitat for Humanity rebuild post-Katrina part of our honeymoon. 

[rosiebear]

Last time: Greece and Paris

This time: long weekend including a Ren Faire with the kids, then a nice weekend to ourselves in a friend’s vacation home in Michigan.

[rosiebear]

Oh! And re: Disney. I didn’t go there for a honeymoon, but my ex and I went as adults with another couple (all of us pre-kids) and we had the time of our goddamn lives.

[mofongo]

We did Napa/Sonoma, Carmel/Monterey and SF. It was almost 2 weeks, we had a great time:)

[wildrice]

Thailand! We went to Bangkok, Krabi (near Phuket), and Chiang Mai. Neither of us had been to anywhere in Asia and we wanted to do something out of the ordinary for us, especially since we were not having a regular wedding and so wanted the honeymoon to be special. I tend to pick destinations more on feelings than any kind of logic, and I had a feeling that Thailand would be a great first Asian destination. Once I mentioned it to my H, he agreed immediately.

The first time I got married I went to Puerto Vallerta Mexico and while it was lovely, my family of origin likes to do resort vacations so it didn't feel like anything extraordinary. I remember feeling kind of let down that I didn't pick somewhere more exciting for such a big occasion. Thankfully (for many reasons) I got a do-over that was 1000x better - and I didn't even have a blowout fight on the trip with my H like I did with my XH.

Italy! I think it was 12 days (it was a long time ago lol). We stayed in Venice, Florence, and Rome.

I do love a good Disney trip, though

[Deleted]

Hawaii and Bora Bora

[fryjack2]

We did two weeks in Belize. Felt like a week too long at the time.

A year later we did 2 weeks in Italy, which is what I had tried to convince H to do in the first place. Once we were there, he told me he realized why.

I knew how amazing Italy is from my trips there and knew he would love it. We should have gone there in the first place.

[Jalapeñomel]

Dublin because we’d never been. And then it sort of changed the course of everything.

[quesyrah]

Mexican riviera cruise (Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta).

We did it basically because we didn’t want to fly to our destination.

[af1212]

St. John

[Bad Dingo]

We got married/honeymooned in St. Lucia.

[cville]

Jamaica. We were in law school and had exactly 6 days between our wedding and classes restarting. It was perfect for relaxation.

oooh, this sounds like a good story. 

[lauralala]

Boston and Maine. We got married in July in Texas and wanted to go some place a little cooler. DH had never been to New England, and I enjoyed showing him around some of my favorite spots for a week.

[gretchenindisguise]

We went to Maui about a year after we got married.

[moreace01]

Hawaii immediately - we got married there.
Bora Bora 6 months later because Chase was screwing me over on my mortgage tax escrow and cut me a gigantic check at the end of the year so I figured, why not go all out.

Replace this with Sandals Montego Bay in 2010 and yeah, lol.

We had a nice time though. It was fairly reasonably priced and we were young, so the all inclusive drinks were very exciting to me ha.

[loira]

We didn't. Money was tight and we'd already put aside some to visit FIL who couldn't come to our wedding because he didn't get his passport in time.

[freshsqueezed]

Italy

Buuut I’ve recently become a fan of a Disney vacation after kids. It’s just so easy!

[mccallister84]

St. Lucia

[cleo29]

Hawaii- Honolulu for two nights and Maui for a week or so. and we spent two night in Anaheim on the way back so Disneyland for two days. It was a lot of fun though looking back I wish we had done more exploring while on Maui.

[HRH Queen Dick I, Orphan]

1 week St. John/St. Thomas, 1 week Tortola (BVI) because beach people.

[lilac05]

Sandals in Negril, Jamaica.

It was an all-inclusive (my H’s request) that we could afford.

[7costanza]

Cancun adults only all inclusive because it was cheap and we were young and poor lol. I would definitely do it again though, it was so relaxing and I loved not having to plan anything.

[erbear]

British Virgin Islands (rip Peter island. You were awesome but destroyed by a hurricane 😭) and St. John in the USVI
