I've been to Disney twice, but this will be my fiance's first visit. We are staying at a Disney Resort and will spend there 6 nights. I know that the parks can really worn you out so we are just visiting three of them. We'll spend a day on Downtown Disney and another day at the resort without going out. Any suggestions about attractions, things we should not miss, etc? Appreciate your comments!

First of all, congratulations on your marriage! (or upcoming marriage)
My first suggestion is to get the bride & groom "Mickey ears" hats. This will let everyone know that you are on your honeymoon, and you will special attention from the cast members. I think you can even get a button to wear at Guest Relations in the park and I think that is free, if you don't want to spend for the hats. (Think of how much fun it will be to look back at photos of your honeymoon, there you are with Mickey, and you know it is your honeymoon 'cuz you are wearing the bride & groom ears!!)
I would recommend you do a character meal. Those are soo much fun! (And of course, have at least one meal in one of the fancier restaurants- it IS your honeymoon!! Be fun, but also romantic!) Buy a nice bottle of wine in one of the countries at Epcot, and share it in the evening!
If you haven't been on Soarin' in Epcot, don't miss it! It is fantastic!
Just about everything at Disney World is special, so just enjoy as much as you can. Don't rush yourselves through the parks, either. There is no way to see or do EVERYTHING! Each park (except Animal Kingdom) has wonderful fireworks or light shows: Magic Kingdom has 'Wishes' fireworks show, MGM has 'Fantasmic', and Epcot has 'Illuminations'. All are wonderful. My favorite, though, is Illumination at Epcot.
When I was there in December this past year, right after the fireworks at Magic Kingdom, there in front of the castle, a man proposed to his girlfriend! The were total strangers to us, but, just as the fireworks ended, a cast member asked the crowd (just those of us close by) to stop and stand still for a moment. Then the man proposed, she said yes, (through tears) and many of us in the crowd were crying, what a beautiful moment!
Again, congratulations on your impending nuptuals! Best of luck for a healthy and happy future!

Weather must be beautiful well that point of yr. Might be somewhat cooler within the evenings, (however considering that you're coming from Ohio, you must be best! ) the parks will most of the time be somewhat crowded as you're just about the Christmas excursion. Animal Kingdom Lodge is exceptional. (ask for a Savanah View room and you'll see animals out of your room!) As a long way as enjoyment is going- you'll most of the time revel in Pleasure Island. There are nightclubs and matters that aren't all "child" orientated. Also, Take it slow within the World Showcase at Epcot. I have heard many individuals say that they have been disenchanted there, however if you happen to perform a little exploring, you'll uncover a few particularly fascinating matters. Plus, it's like taking a commute "world wide!" (I benefit from the wine tastings to be had in France, Germany, and Italy!) One factor NOT to overlook at Epcot is Soarin'. It is an enjoy. Congratulations for your upcoming marriage ceremony, and feature a high-quality honeymoon! One thing more, make it identified that you're newlyweds for your honeymoon. Get the Mickey & Minnie marriage ceremony ears! And inform the forged contributors there, they may be able to aid make your keep EXTRA Magical!

Just visited Disney I suggest staying at the Yaght and Beach Club Resort great pool a day at Downtown Disney might be a little to much a whole day isn't worth spent in Downtown Disney they have good shops and restraunts but not a whole day ummmm I recomened going to the Magic Kingdom Epcot and MGM but you should see animal kingdom too. Epcot has alot of new things there definatly go on mission space and soarin they are great I also recomend in MGM the Lights, Motors, Action show that show is truly amazing and so much fun to watch. At MGM there are tons of good shows and rides I suggest the Tower of Terror and the Rockin Roller Coaster. Magic Kingdom is well Magic Kingdom it is so full of life and a lot of good rides. But I think you should at least try to go to animal kingdom they have one of the best rides in all of Disney World Mount Everest that is a great ride. As for eating I suggest you making reservations well before you go. The Aloha dinner and show at the polynesian resort had great food and a good show I also recommend the Hoopty Do Review that is also a dinner and a show it is a hilarious show and again very good food. Dinsey offers so much to see and do and so does the hotels hope you have a great time it is a very magical place.

Sounds like you have it well planned out. You're already following most of the pieces of advice I like to give.
Let them know it's your honeymoon. In this year of a million dreams, they'll do some things to make your honeymoon a memorable one. I don't want to spoil the surprise, so I won't tell you WHAT they'll do...but definitely let them know when you're booking it (or now, if it's already booked) that you'll be on your honeymoon!
If you haven't done so yet, consider attending Cirque du Soleil on the day you're visiting Downtown Disney.
Visit DisneyQuest in Downtown Disney. It's closing after this Christmas season.
For the ultimate romantic experience, have dinner one night at Victoria and Alberts at the Grand Floridian. If that's either unavailable or not in your budget, try the California Grille at the top of the Contemporary Resort Hotel.
Have a magical honeymoon!

My husband and I also honeymooned at WDW and had a fantastic time! We took breaks too and just took it easy. Be sure to get the Minnie and Mickey Bride and Groom hats and then wear them everywhere! Not only are they fun (and really, when and where else can you wear them?) but Cast Members often make each day special or offer surprises, etc...
Be sure to tell everyone what you are celebrating - this means your waiter at meals, your Cast Member checking you in at your Disney Resort, etc.... they always go out of their way to make it special!

Disneys warterparks are really fun and relaxing way to chill out. So is riding the bus from your resort to the other resorts to hang out by their pools (personal favorite is Animal Kingdom Lodge, they have all the animals there without the crowds)

Universal Theme parks has some cool things. I believe you can get good deals directly through Universal's site or from other providers like Virgin.
