The Disney Honeymoon Registry

My mother always told me that it is in poor taste to ask people for money for your honeymoon. And to some extent, I agree. When giving a gift, especially a wedding gift, you want to give an actual thing or experience. Prior to becoming engaged, I had heard that Disney offered a honeymoon registry. So I knew I wanted to incorporate that as a registry choice, as we had already decided to have a Disney honeymoon.
A quick google search led me to Disney Honeymoon Wishes. This site allows you to create your own Disney registry. It's free and simple to use. You create your account and then begin picking items for your registry (similar to any other registry you create).

As you pick the items for your registry, you can pick the amount of that item and the cost of that item. For example, we had an option for park tickets. The gift was a $50 gift, and there were 6 of that gift available. We did a variety of pricing, to give people the best option for their budgetary needs. They offer a large variety of items to choose from; from park tickets to in room celebrations, from specialty cruises to meal plans, and everything in between.

Once you have completed your registry, you are able to share it with your guests. People are able to gift as soon as the site is live. It does give them the option of "hiding" their gift until the big day-meaning you will see that someone purchased one of the gifts, but not who purchased it. Guests are also able to write well wishes to you. 

I'm sure you are wondering...how do we get the funds? They offer the option to either mail you a check with the funds or to do an online transfer of the funds from their site to your bank account. Since our honeymoon was 3 weeks after our wedding, our trip had to be paid off prior to our wedding. We were able to use the funds we received to reimburse our card that we paid on. 

Using the Disney Honeymoon Registry was quite simple and allowed for an alternative to the every day household items that are asked for on wedding registries.
