Originally Posted By Ursula I would call the Disneyland Weddings department. I know that WDW has a Disneymoon department and I assume that DL has something, too.

Then again, I got married at DL and had the Disneymoon turndown service! (They sprinkled the room with rose petals!)

I would have loved for someone to "surprise" us with a honeymoon, especially to my favorite place.....Disneyland.

Originally Posted By sselig2000 My daughter loves Disneyland, her fiance has never been there. But he might as well start liking it right now if he is going to be a member of the family. LOL I know that they have like a week off of work following the wedding, so it should work. I will see what I can arrange. They don't have to stay on site, but the Grand for a honeymoon would be sooooo great.
Originally Posted By DyGDisney Yes, call and ask them for a room. I bet you can work it out. I would have loved this also. My husband and I couldn't afford a honeymoon either, so we stayed in this little, tiny cabin by Lake Alminore that his parents paid $25.00/night for. I won't go into details, but it was a disaster. We've had lots of trips to Disneyland to make up for it though
Originally Posted By sselig2000 Well, as of right now, there are no rooms available on site for the dates that I need I think that I will book a package anyhow, and change the hotel later if I need to. Does anyone know if the dining plan tickets can be used in downtown disney, or at the resorts?
Originally Posted By hendi123 That's sounds great!! I spent my honeymoon at DL as well. Although my experience was not great as I got a bladder infection, food poisioning and strep during the week we spent there. Needless to say it wasn't the magical week I had in mind but it sure is funny to laugh about now. I say go for it!!
Originally Posted By brea77 SuzieQ,I was just wondering what you asked for when you called Vacation Planning for the turndown service and what number you called. My husband and I are going in June and we are staying at the GCH and I would love to surprise him. Thanks!
Originally Posted By tiggerdis_ You know, I was thinking, I wouldn't want you to regret any choices you make for daughter and new son-in-law. If you'd like, you can make the reservations for a time before the wedding, and I'd be happy to try out the room and the other treats you're thinking of sending them. I'll critique everything for you. How's that sound???? I didn't think so...... oh well.

Originally Posted By nevadarebel have you ever thought about adopting, if so, I am available for it.

Your daughter is very lucky and it is a wonderful thing you wish to do for them!
