7 Ways to Add Romance to Your Walt Disney World Vacation

Often, romance is not the first thing that comes to mind when people think of a Walt Disney World vacation. However, there are so many ways that couples can enjoy a relaxing and romantic evening together.

 

Carriage Rides

Relax on a horse-drawn carriage as you travel through the scenic landscape of two unique resorts. Romance is in full bloom at Disney’s Port Orleans Resorts, you can take in the charm of the south as you travel along the pathways and banks of the Sassagoula River. At Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort, you will travel through lush pine and cypress trees where deer, rabbits, and other woodland creatures like to roam.

 

Spa Treatments

Guests of The Grand Floridian Spa can choose from an array of treatments and massages. Experience The Grand Massage or Massage for Two, which incorporates botanical lotions and other elements to release tension and fatigue and replenish the mind, body, and spirit. Or destress with Nature’s Renewal Hydrating Treatment, which combines a full-body exfoliation with a hydrating botanical massage.

A full range of salon services are also available including haircuts, styling, and The Grand Manicure and Pedicure Treatments. The Grand Floridian Spa’s nail treatments provide the ultimate pampering experience with exfoliation, mask, massage, and choice of nail lacquer.

 

Dinner With A View

While any meal for two can be romantic, there are a few restaurants at the Walt Disney World®  Resort that take dinner with a view to the next level. Enjoy stunning panoramic views of the Seven Seas Lagoon and the Magic Kingdom while you feast on some of the flavors of the Pacific Coast at California Grill. During dinner, the lights are dimmed and the music is piped in for a breathtaking view of “Enchantment” For something more exotic, venture over to Sanaa for an African-Indian-inspired menu. While you dine, look out upon the savanna where zebras, giraffes, and other wildlife roam freely.

Savor the Savanna: Evening Safari Experience

Welcome the evening at Disney’s Animal Kingdom park with a private safari, African-inspired tapas, beverages and more. Immerse your senses during a privately guided journey and explore the sights and sound – and tastes – of Africa. Journey deep into the Harambe Wildlife Preserve while you indulge in a sampling of African-inspired cuisine, paired with a selection of regional beer and wine offerings.

Fireworks Cruises

Charter a private boat and enjoy an evening to remember. From the comfort of a piloted boat, you will set sail for International Gateway near World Showcase Lagoon to watch the skies light up with “Harmonious” over Epcot. Or, embark on the waters of Seven Seas Lagoon or Bay Lake to enjoy “Enchantment” at Magic Kingdom park—with synchronized audio onboard to fully immerse you in the moment.

Celebrate on the Top of the World

From sweet treats to international fare, there’s no shortage of options for making the most of your nighttime spectacular experience. Indulge in a high-energy cocktail party enjoying fine food, simmering sips, and beautiful music while you await an incredible fireworks spectacular. Upon your arrival, dine on culinary offerings, including sushi, small bites, favorite dishes from the California Grill menu, desserts, and even some odes to our past. Guests ages 21 and over can also enjoy such libations from the complimentary bar as California wine, beers, and cordials.

As showtime approaches, step out onto the intimate and private observation deck reserved just for Celebration at the Top Guests. Here, you can enjoy an incredible view of Disney Enchantment—the newest fireworks spectacular to light up the night sky over Magic Kingdom park. The lights will dim as the music plays on the deck, so you’ll be immersed in the magic of the night.

Share Spaghetti and Meatballs at Tony’s Town Square

Now, what could be more romantic than recreating one of the most romantic animated movie moments? While no one has to push a meatball with their nose; you can share a sweet kiss over a bowl of spaghetti while sitting near a fountain of our favorite canine lovebirds.
