My fh and I decided to go to disney world for our honeymoon. We have 2 young kids, they are 5 and 3 now.. When we get married they will be 7 and 5. And we figured that this way we all go out and have fun. But some are saying that we should be able to go and be by selves it's our honeymoon. But we're very family orianted. We don't even like going out without our kids. Yes we enjoy it once in awhile but for the most part everything is with our kids. So we thought this would be perfect for us as a family. And we don't want the kids to feel left out since the wedding day will mostly be on the bride and groom. SO we figured this would be perfect we don't want our kids to feel left out. But how do we handle these comments about it? My fh is actually starting to get annoyed when people ask oh where are you going on your honeymoon and he tells them. And they say oh honeymoons aren't for children.

It sounds like you're not starting out like a lot of married couples, where you're just obsessed with yourselves and your relationship (which there's nothing wrong with...that's descibing me and my FH too!). But the big thing for you guys now is your family and not just your relationship. I would start telling people that instead of a honeymoon, you're doing a "family-moon" or some other fun made up word (maybe the kids could even help you think of something, like putting moon after your last name). This way people will think it's sweet and fun, and they won't have pictures of the traditional honeymoon in their heads. It's your choice and it's all about what makes you guys happy. I can't imagine bringing kids on a honeymoon, but that's only because I don't have any yet! I'm sure it's a great opportunity for your family to take a vacation together, and after the months of planning and attention you're giving to the wedding, it'll be a nice treat to have some family time. Stick to your guns and do what you want. Maybe in 5 years when the kids get older you'll feel more comfortable leaving them and will want to take a "real" honeymoon.

I agree with jaxter45....If you want to include your children, then include your children. People are always going to have something to say about what anybody does. You and your fh want to take the children then take then and forget what everybody else has to say. Listen to the suggestions that they make and ultimately in the end it wll be yours and your h2b decision.

If you're family-oriented, take the kids! Most people choose not to take their kids because they want to get away and relax. If your idea of relaxing is with the kids, then take them!

My best friend got married last year and went to Disney for her honeymoon. She said it was AMAZINGLY great!! they treat you like celebrities

Me and my fiancee are planning to go there as well..
EVERYTHING IS MAGICAL!

Yay! Cute idea, bringing the kids to the honeymoon!


I am so sure you will have the best of fun...


Best wishes!
