Getting married in August and going to WDW for our honeymoon...I'm thrilled beyond belief! I haven't been there for a very long time, so does anyone know of any high-end, classy restaurants we should visit? Think romantic...

Oh, I'm so happy for you! You're going to have the most amazing time. I'm planning on getting married and having the honeymoon at Walt Disney World. It's my favorite place for romantic vacations with my boyfriend. Anyone who says it's not romantic because there's kids all around has no common sense. The kids don't even matter, you're too busy having the most incredible time of your life that you barely notice them. Anyway, I've been going to Walt Disney World each August for the past couple years with my boyfriend, just the two of us, so trust me, I know of the best romantic places to dine. The food and the restaurants is one of my favorite parts of Walt Disney World. I'm going to give you a good list and descriptions of the restaurants I think the two of you may enjoy.
Artist Point at Disney's Wilderness Lodge is beautiful. My boyfriend and I ate there for our first time on the first night of our vacation this past August. The service here was outstanding and the atmosphere was wonderful. You can request a table near one of the windows if you'd like an possibly get a really nice view of Silver Creek Falls outside. The food here was great. For an appetizer I had the mussels. They were very good, but my boyfriend ordered this smokey Portobello mushroom soup that the waitress recommended and it was do delicious! I can't even describe it. I don't even like mushrooms, but I ate more of his appetizer than my own. It was so good, I just can't wait to try it again. Whether either of you are a fan of mushrooms or not, try it! It's so awesome!
The Bistro de Paris is a romantic restaurant at EPCOT that I have yet to dine at, but certainly plan to someday. It's located on the second floor of the France Pavilion above Les Chefs de France. They serve French food, of course, and the restaurant boasts great reviews. You may request a table near a window with a beautiful view of the World Showcase Lagoon.
The California Grill atop Disney's Contemporary Resort is definitely one of the most romantic dining locations on property. The food, service, and atmosphere are all wonderful. It's a very gorgeous restaurant with a view of the Magic Kingdom Park. If you set it up right you can make reservations so you're finishing up your entrees as the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom are beginning. They'll hold your dessert until after the show and you and your husband can go out onto the roof to watch. This is one of my new favorite restaurants.
Fulton's Crab House at Downtown Disney is another gorgeous restaurant which appears to be a boat floating on the water. There a wonderful views from most tables and they serve the freshest seafood. The dining area around the bar is great. There's a beautiful mural on the ceiling.
Jiko - The Cooking Place at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is a favorite among MANY. Anyone who's a fan of Walt Disney World will likely list Jiko in their top five restaurants at WDW. They have an excellent menu, the food is delicious, and it's a beautiful restaurant, too. The filet mignon is probably the most popular entree on the menu. Jiko offers the most exclusive South African wine list in the United States and is a AAA 4-Diamond restaurant.
Le Cellier Steakhouse is one of the most popular restaurants located at EPCOT. It's somewhat hidden back in the gardens of the Canada Pavilion. They serve delicious filet mignons, and the mussels served chowder-style and the maple creme brulee were both awesome. Our entire experience here was wonderful. I love the atmosphere - like being in a wine cellar.
Narcoossee's at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is one of is our all-time favorite. The location is wonderful, right on the waterfront of the Seven Seas Lagoon. Just like at the California Grill, you can set up your reservations so you may view the fireworks during your dinner, but you don't have to go out on the deck if you don't want to. There's a perfect view from most tables, and the music is piped in live from the Magic Kingdom right into the restaurant. I think this is my boyfriend's favorite restaurant at WDW - he's always like, "which night are we eating at Narcoossee's?!" I make the reservations for the end of our trip figuring we'll "save the best for last," but he wasn't happy waiting ten days for that meal. Next time I'll book it earlier in out trip, I guess.
Tony's Town Square is another one of our favorites. It's right at the entrance of the park, so we'll always eat there either when we arrive or as we're leaving. The restaurant is so cute. It's themed to the movie "Lady and the Tramp." There's scene from the movie all over the walls and a fountain in the middle of the main dining room with a statue of Lady and the Tramp. The food is delicious here. The Tiramisu for dessert is a must. It's the best I've ever tried!
Victoria & Albert's located at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is the most romantic restaurant on property, and definitely the classiest and priciest. Victoria & Albert's has garnered high honors from prestigious American fine-dining reviewers, including the AAA 5-Diamond Award and Zagat's National Top Ten Restaurants Award. Since it's your honeymoon you can request to dine at the Chef's Table, which offers a unique epicurean experience right in the kitchen! This restaurant is a must for your special occasion. They'll cater to your every need here, and it will probably be your most memorable night. The restaurant's very famous.
The Yachtsman Steakhouse at Disney's Yacht Club Resort serves a large selection of delicious steaks. There's also a wonderful dessert display. The creme brulee is so good! The restaurant itself is beautiful. You can request a table next to a window with a view of Stormalong Bay. We dined there this summer after a fireworks cruise at EPCOT. It was 9:45 and the restaurant was nearly empty. It was so enjoyable.
Hope I could help! And I hope you have the most magical, romantic wedding and honeymoon! Congratulations!

I would reccomend getting the Unoffical Guide to Disney world. It has info about all the attractions, restaurants, hotels, etc.
I would reccomend Jiko, at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. California Grill in the Contemporyary resort- try to get a reservation for about an hour before the fireworks show that night, you can sit near the window and see them or go out on the balcony. Almost any of the table service restaurants in Epcot's world showcase. The Brown Derby at MGM. Be sure to make reservations as soon as you can (180 days in advance), as most popular restaurnts can book up (like Le Cellier Steakhouse in EPCOT) and there won't be room left.
Also, when you make reservations and when you check in, be sure to mention that it's your honeymoon. You never know what disney surprise awaits you....and if you don't feel too silly, buy a pair of bride and groom mickey ears to wear around (the bride is white ears on a headband with a beil, groom is black ears on a top hat). Feel free to email me with any other Disney World questions. narawen_greenleaf_26@yahoo.com

If you are going to Epcot Center go to the Mexican Pavilion and have dinner there. It is a nice treat and it makes you feel like you are under the stars and overlooking a nice sight.

Go to http://www.love.allabouthoneymoons.com they can plan any type of trip not just honeymoons. If you tell them what you like and your budget they will plan the perfect trip for you.Best of all the service is free b/c the fee is paid by the hotel or resort.
