Planning your Honeymoon
Romance is in the air! Courtship and marriage is as old as time itself. Two people deciding to spend the rest of their lives together, for better or for worse, definitely requires a celebration. No matter where you live or how long your courtship,the goal of the wedding is the same: two people are now joined as one. You share the celebration with friends and family days and even months leading up to your special day. So much of the wedding day preparation is done with groups of celebrating people: the bridal shower, bridesmaid’s brunch, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and wedding dress shopping (have you seen ‘Say Yes to the Dress?’)
When the wedding day is over, the gifts have been opened and your friends and relatives are headed back to their homes and home states – what’s left are the two of you together, a newly wedded couple, blissfully ready for the honeymoon.

There are many reasons why a vacation or honeymoon traveler would want to use an all inclusive resort to get away. Here is a list of 5 reasons to book your trip at an all inclusive resort.
Affordable Vacation and Honeymoon
Going on vacation or a honeymoon takes a lot of planning, especially if you want to go at a time of year when everyone else seems to be traveling. For some locations, like Hawaii, booking a year in advance to get the flights and fares you are looking for, or to use your airline miles, is the norm. There are many affordable locations and resorts for almost every budget. Mexico and Jamaica offer some of the best beaches and best amenities for the price. The best part is you won’t have to recover from the shock of a
high credit card bill when you get back. All inclusive resorts include everything from meals and drinks (alcohol included), room service and land and water sports. You won’t find many extra extravagances you’ll have to pay for when you travel to an all inclusive resort and with resorts offering air credits, you may not need to use the airline miles it’s taken you years to accumulate!
All Food and Drinks (including alcohol) Included
All inclusive resorts are famous for the variety of food they offer, the restaurants on the property and top shelf list of alcoholic beverages they provide. Many Sandals locations have up to 15 restaurants for dining, 24 hour room service, swim up bars and snacks.
All of which is included in the all inclusive rates. Gone are the days of house label wine and cheap liquor. You can find brand names such as Bombay Sapphire, Cointreau, Tanquaray, Jack Daniels, Crown Royal and Johnny Walker and as many as 12 bars at many Sandals Resorts. Have a taste for Asian, Japanese, West Indian, Jamaican, Seafood, Pizza, French, Thai, Italian or Fusion? You’ll find world-class food and world-class chefs in the kitchen in these all inclusive resorts and the restaurants are all included in the price!
Prime Resort Locations
Every Sandals all inclusive resort sits directly on a beach! You won’t have to walk far to get your toes in the sand! The Beaches Resorts (caters to families) offer calm leeward side island locations, protected cove beaches and reef snorkeling within wading distances so you won’t have to worry about the kids! With 44 categories of rooms, and suites designed with families in mind (1-3 bedrooms in Turks & Caicos or 4 bedrooms at the Penthouse Suite in Turks & Caicos) and available amenities like plasma TV’s, Xbox, rain head showers, marble showers and granite wet bars, a vacation with the family will feel like a vacation not just a trip with the kids!
Take an Adults Only Vacation
We know you love kids, especially your own (if you have them). An adults only vacation is just for the two of you. As a couple you have planned to spend a couple of days or a week alone as “your time,” and you’d like to leave the sights and sounds of children behind for just a little while. If this is the scenario you long for, choose an adults only all inclusive resort from Secrets, Sandals, Palace, Excellence, Couples, and Iberostar. These resorts offer adults only locations to relax and unwind and fall in love all over again. Adult’s only resort locations are especially perfect for a couple on a honeymooner or anniversary celebrations.
Free Wedding with Minimum Stays
A Destination Wedding followed by a stunning tropical honeymoon is all the rage. Secure a free wedding at a Sandals Resorts that includes a bouquet, boutonniere, table setting for 8 and a wedding cake with any 3 night stay. At the Excellence Rivera Cancun, book an Excellence Club Junior Suite with an Ocean View for 7 nights or more and the complimentary wedding package is yours! There are many other all inclusive resort locations offering complimentary weddings for you ad your wedding party.
Use a Travel Agent to book your All Inclusive Resorts Vacation
The best way to find an all inclusive resort that offers free weddings, family accommodations or an adults only stay is to contact a travel agent that specializes in Honeymoon, couples only and family locations for an all inclusive stay!
Preparing for travel to European countries can feel overwhelming and never ending, which is why we’ve compiled this list of helpful travel tips to guide you through the process. Whether this is your first time flying across the pond or your fifth, check out the travel tips below to ensure a smooth and stress-free journey!
1. Convert Your Money
Read up on the exchange rates and form of currency accepted in the country that you are traveling to. If you are located in the Omaha area, First National Bank offers up to 70 different types of paper currency. Many of these currency options are same day exchange, subject to availability (i.e. Euros, Swiss Francs, British pounds). Don’t let the worry of coming back with extra Euros keep you from sticking to budget, you can simply exchange any left over back to USD.
2. Keep Alcohol in Checked Luggage
You can’t come home from Spain without a couple bottles of Spanish wine, right? Keep these out of TSA’s hands by securely packing them in your checked luggage (you will be confiscated of liquids over three ounces in your carry on). Check out this step-by-step video tutorial to keep everything in one piece for the long journey home!
3. Learn Some Native Phrases
Locals will greatly appreciate the effort to communicate in their native language, so be sure to memorize a few basic phrases in advance (hello, please, thank you, etc.). Keep an index card for reference or check out these handy Penguin phrase-books available in many different languages.
4. Call Your Banks and Credit Unions
Without prior notice of the specific dates, locations , and duration of your travels, your bank will shut off your debit or credit card for fraud protection. Likely without notifying you first! Informing your banks and credit unions ahead of time is simple, just call the phone number on the back of your card(s) to speak with a representative.
5. Check in Online 24-hours Prior
To ensure that you get the most updated flight schedule and optimal boarding group, remember to check in for your flight 24 hours prior to departure. If your flight schedule has been moved to earlier in the day, this gives you time adjust your schedule accordingly instead of finding out at the airport when it’s too late.
6. Bring an Adapter
There’s nothing more inconvenient than checking into your hotel thousands of miles from home only to realize that you didn’t bring the proper equipment to keep your electronics and grooming tools charged. Places like Target carry these for worldwide!
7. Book Trains and Transfers Ahead of Time
Train schedules become available 60 days prior to the date of travel. This is definitely something you’ll want to secure prior to leaving the country to ensure that your preferred time frame and route does not sell out. When traveling by rail to several cities or countries, consider purchasing a rail pass instead of individual tickets to get the most for your money. Head over to Rail Europe to begin building your itinerary or reach out to your travel agent for help with this step in the process.
8. Be Aware of Your Surroundings
Make sure that you are always aware of your surroundings and belongings, as tourists tend to be easy targets for pickpocketing. Opt for an over-the-shoulder bag you can keep hold of toward the front of your body and avoid keeping anything valuable in back pockets or easily accessible backpacks! Leave all valuables secured in your in-room safe before a long day of walking and exploring.
9. Bring proper walking shoes
In many of Europe’s historic cities, the sites worth seeing are best visited by foot. Unfortunately your go-to pair of sandals or slip ons likely won’t hold up for the many miles of walking that await you. We recommend bringing your most reliable and comfortable pair of tennis shoes to keep the blisters and foot cramps to a minimum.
10. Touch Base with Your Phone Service Provider
This is important as you’ll want to stay in touch, post pictures, and Google menu items. Touch base with your service provider regarding how international texts, calls, and data usage are associated with your account! If your plan does not include any international perks, disable your networks and stick to free wifi.
11. Allow Extra Time at the Airport
Get to the airport two hours prior to your departure in case of lines or delays. If you’ve ever missed a flight, you can imagine how frustrating it would be in a foreign country!
12. Educate Yourself on the Areas You Will Be Visiting
Don’t visit Venice and expect to find a slice of Italy’s renowned wood fired pizza. The reason is that wood burning ovens are banned here. Also don’t assume that entrance lines to the Vatican will be shorter mid-week. Ask your travel agent how you can skip these lines. In short, do your research beforehand to prevent wasting valuable time when in destination.
13. Talk to the Locals
Looking for the most authentic restaurants, hidden gem shops, and uncrowded beaches? Talk to the locals! They know the ins-and-outs of their city better than any visitor review you’ll find on TripAdvisor. This is where travel tip number three can be put to good use again!

If you have always dreamed of a Disney honeymoon, you’ve come to the right place!
Why Honeymoon at Disney?
The Disney Parks are famous for their unparalleled hospitality for each and every guest, but they really kick it up a notch for visitors who are celebrating a special occasion. Honeymooners are no exception. You’re Enchanted Travel honeymoon expert will be sure to tell cast members (Disney employees) why you’re taking this special trip, especially when booking your room, checking in, and making dining reservations. You never know what little surprises await just around the river bend: free desert, special ride, and parade perks, or maybe even a special phone call from Mickey Mouse – not to mention attention from guests and cast members congratulating you throughout your stay.
Honeymooning at Walt Disney World can be a lavish experience, and it’s easy for the expenses to add up. But there’s no need to wish upon a star: the Disney Honeymoon Registry helps your wedding guests fund the honeymoon of your dreams. By using this online service (complimentary for Disney Resort Hotel couples), your friends and family can choose gifts and experiences directly from a Disney honeymoon catalog, including dining and theater packages, park tickets, a carriage ride – even a VIP safari!
Here are some frequently asked questions about honeymooning at Disney:
When Should We Go on our Disney Honeymoon?
Although your wedding might be in August, summer is Walt Disney World’s muggiest and most crowded season. Stick to spring and mid-fall, and avoid holidays and school breaks in order to guarantee a less crowded and more romantic honeymoon. There is nothing wrong with having a honeymoon a few months after your wedding.
How long should we stay on our Disney Honeymoon?
There’s so much to do at Walt Disney World. No one can see everything in one visit, but with a little planning (and scheduling in some downtime), you can spend your post-wedding days in bliss, not stress.
How long you stay is up to you. If you want to make sure you get in all tons of attractions and activities, you are going to need a week. The good thing is that longer your stay, the cheaper park tickets become each day. With a week, you can go to one park each day, which is plenty of time to ride all the rides (assuming you planned ahead and have FastPasses), see a show or two and relax. On days you are not at the parks you can enjoy the other many attractions at your resort or in the surrounding areas.
If you do not want to spend your whole honeymoon in Disney World, I recommend going for 2 days. This is enough time for you to hit many of the park highlights; just pick the attractions that matter most to you.
Why should we stay at a Disney Resort for our Disney Honeymoon?
Disney resorts are going to be more expensive than nearby hotels, so by looking only at the budget you may think you want to stay outside of Disney. When you look into the benefits of staying at a Disney resort, you may find that it’s worth the extra money.
Extra Magic Hours – If you stay at a Disney resort, you are allowed to experience Extra Magic Hours. This is an hour before or after a park opens for the public where only resort guest are allowed in parks. This extra hour can mean several short lines to the most popular rides.
Fast Passes – Guests staying in a Disney Resort are able to book fast passes 60 days in advance, as opposed to 30 days in advance for everyone else. For the most popular rides, it can be difficult to get a Fast Pass if you don’t book within minutes of your 60-day mark.
Extra Disney Magic – A lot of extra Disney magic will happen at your resort. You may find surprises in your room or get a few extra fast passes. In addition, you may have many more dining options in the resorts.
Ease of Transportation – By staying at a Disney resort you can take a bus to get anywhere. Beyond that, you are always close to a Disney Park.
Where should we stay for our Disney Honeymoon?
Four Seasons Resort Orlando
If you have the money, the Four Seasons is our top recommendation for a honeymoon stay at Disney for many reasons. The Four Seasons luxe rooms feature marble bathrooms and in-mirror televisions. In addition, the Four Seasons has the largest guest rooms by square foot in Orlando. Honeymooners will enjoy the simple detail of having do not disturb buttons at the side of the Four Seasons bed. Out the balcony, you will have a perfect view of the evening fireworks show. Here you will also find the only adult-only hotel at Disney.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and Villas
The best part about staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge is being in the middle of all the animals. From Savannah rooms, guests are able to see animals out in the fields. There are even viewing stations that include night vision binoculars.
For dining, there are several options with the most well known being Jiko – The Cooking Place. This fine dining restaurant serves African-style food cooked in wood burning ovens. For an extra-special night, you can book a meal and a safari together!
Disney’s Port Orleans Resort
A more budget-friendly option, the Disney’s Port Orleans Resort, located in Disney Springs, has a cozy southern feel. Stroll the quaint streets of the French Quarter, or the more rustic Riverside area. Here you’ll find tree-lined passageways and horse-drawn carriages. If you enjoy jazz music, the Scat Cat’s Club is a great lounge to visit.

When choosing a honeymoon destination, one of the first steps should be deciding which season you will be traveling for the best weather and prices. If you start with this step in the beginning, it is easier to narrow down your choices – which can seem daunting! Keep in mind that the best weather is going to be found during any destination’s high season. High season usually means higher room rates and more crowds. So make sure to reserve early or choose a travel time that isn’t in peak season for your honeymoon destination.
We’ve created a guide on the best destinations for each month based off of the most ideal weather of the year. The months right before and after peak season are known as “should seasons”. During shoulder seasons, you’ll usually still have good weather and often lower hotel rates. Some destinations, like the Caribbean and Hawaii, enjoy great weather year-round, but are at their best during the months listed below.
The Best Time to Honeymoon in the Caribbean
In the Caribbean, the best months to visit are December to May. During this time frame, the islands are the coolest and breeziest. However, average temperatures year-round are between 78-88 degrees. The worst months to go to the Caribbean are August through October. Technically, official hurricane season runs from June through November, but the worst months are August, September & October. Keep in mind that islands near South America, like Aruba and Trinidad, are outside of the hurricane danger zone so you can visit these islands year-round. In addition, high-altitude and coastal areas of the Caribbean are coooled down by the trade winds all year, which you’ll be thankful for if you plan to go in the hotter months).
The Best Time to Honeymoon in the Bahamas
The best months to visit the Bahamas are November through April. The worst months are June to October, as it is generally the hottest and rainiest time of year there.
The Best Time to Honeymoon in Hawaii
Hawaii is a great honeymoon destination all year long, but March to July are the best. October and November are also good times to visit the islands of Hawaii. December and January experience the coolest weather – although you’ll still see an average temperature of about 75 degrees during these months. August and September are the hottest months to visit Hawaii, and November to March is Hawaii’s rainy season. Keep in mind that the northern shore of each of Hawaii’s island is rainier than the southern sides. This is especially true for Kauai and the Big Island.
The Best Time to Honeymoon in Mexico
The best months in terms of weather for Mexico is between October and May. Rainy seasons begins in June and runs through September in most popular areas of Mexico , but usually only involves a light sprinkle throughout the day. Popular honeymoon destinations in Mexico like Cabo and Cancun can get very hot from June through August, so keep that in mind as well.
The Best Time to Honeymoon in Bermuda
May to October are peak season for weather in Bermuda. January and February are rainier and not as warm.
The Best Time to Honeymoon in Europe
The best months to enjoy Europe are from May to September or October. They have generally the same season as the U.S. temperature-wise, so it’s going to be colder in most destinations – even beach destinations like the South of France – from November through April. The worst months weather-wise are December and February. Prices are also usually steeper in December because of the holidays.
The Best Time to Honeymoon in Florida
Florida’s best weather occurs in March, April, October and November. The worst time to visit Florida is between May and September as it is very hot and Florida is technically located in the Atlantic hurricane zone. However, the Florida Keys experience warm, Caribbean-like weather all year long.
The Best Time to Honeymoon in Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia’s best weather is found between November to February. The hottest months are April and May and the rainy season is from June through the end of September.
The Best Time to Honeymoon in the South Pacific
The best time to visit the South Pacific is between May and October. December, January and February are very hot, humid, and rainy here. In addition, Fiji is inside the Pacific cyclone zone which runs from November to April. Tahiti, however, is not inside the danger zone and Fiji is rarely hit during the highest-risk months of January and February.

1. List What is Most Important to You & Your Fiance
Some people live for the beach and want to be pampered on their honeymoon. Others want to explore a new town or do something more adventurous. The first step in deciding which destination to choose for your honeymoon is to complete a list with your fiance on what you are looking for in this trip. For example, if you’ve decided you want to go to an all-inclusive in Mexico, that’s great! But what kind of honeymoon are you looking for? If you want to meet people and go out, look at resorts in Cancun’s hotel zone where the nightlife scene is great.
2. Discuss Your Budget
When discussing your wedding budget, you should also discuss your honeymoon budget. How much do you want to spend? Do you want to go all-out or do something more affordable? Our Enchanted Travel honeymoon experts can work with any budget. We can help you narrow down your options so it is easier to decide which properties are affordable to you.
3. Discuss the Timing of your Honeymoon in Relation to your Wedding Day
Do you want to go on your honeymoon immediately after your wedding day? This is what my fiance and I did, and I highly recommend it! However, we did all-inclusive properties in Mexico where I didn’t need to plan a whole lot. If we had wanted to go to Italy, for example, I would have put it off for at least a month or so. Another option that is becoming increasingly popular is a mini-moon. You can go somewhere local or stay somewhere for just 3-4 nights right after the big day, then plan something more extravagant and longer for later on down the road.
4. Consider the Season
If you have your heart set on a honeymoon destination, make sure to do your research on the best seasons to visit. For more details on that, visit our blog post: How to Choose Your Honeymoon Destination Based on Seasons.
5. Do You want to Honeymoon at an All-Inclusive Resort?
All-inclusive resorts are a great honeymoon option because many cater to couples, are adults-only, and most are built for relaxation and romance. Of course, there are plenty of other options when it comes to hotels if all-inclusive resorts aren’t your thing. The biggest upside to an all-inclusive resort, in my opinion, is that everything is already paid for and you don’t have to budget out spending money if you don’t plan to leave the property much.
6. Talk to a Travel Agent
This is the most important piece of advice I can give to you. Yes, it is quite possible to book your honeymoon online these days. However. every resort you see is going to look great online. It’s true: their are catfishes in the Online Travel Industry as well. Our agents have been almost everywhere, or have at least sent our clients to most destinations. We can give you first-hand knowledge on resorts you may be considering. Our Enchanted Travel experts can help you with your budget, narrowing down options based on your list of what’s most important to you, and most importantly – take care of every last detail so you can focus on enjoying yourself.
