Walt Disney World

Why You Should Take an Adults Only Trip to Walt Disney World

You’ve gathered your friends and called the sitter. The resort is booked, and you are ready to head out for your adults-only getaway to enjoy the magic of Walt Disney World. Wait, did you say Disney …without the kids? Many people think that a trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth is just for families and young children, but the truth is, there are so many experiences to enjoy for adults!

Take In a Behind-The-Scenes Tour

Learn about the man behind the mouse and hear the intriguing story of how his vision, creativity, and innovation brought the theme parks to life. During Disney’s Keys to the Kingdom Tour, uncover hidden secrets of classic attractions at Magic Kingdom and enter the underground utilidors. For nature and animal lovers, experience the Caring for Giants Tour to get a closer look at the African elephants at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park or meet the mighty but gentle rhinoceros during the Up Close with Rhinos tour. With Savor the Savanna, you can immerse your senses during a privately guided journey and explore the sights and sounds—and tastes—of Africa. From magic to history to nature, there is sure to be a tour that is right for you.

Indulge In Fine Dining

Did you know that there is a AAA Five Diamond Award restaurant right in the heart of Walt Disney World Resort? Victoria and Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is the ultimate way to indulge during your adult-only vacation. With a wine collection with over 4,200 bottles and a menu that draws in inspiration from countries from around the world, there is no better place to have a special dinner. At the California Grill, Guests 21 years of age and older can select from an extensive collection of hand-picked wines—most of which are from California. Sommeliers are on hand to offer the perfect pairing suggestions, in addition to the thoughtfully selected 3-course wine pairings available for purchase.

Pamper Yourself
Relax and leave your worries at the door. At the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, you will find the perfect place to pamper with the Grand Floridian Spa. Take in a relaxing massage after a long day in the park or get that haircut that you have been putting off. With various packages from facials, body therapies, manicures, and shaves, a trip to the spa is the perfect way to pamper yourself.

Go For Ride

One of the most significant advantages of no kids is no height restrictions holding you back! Ride the biggest coasters or throw your hands at the water parks. It’s your call!

While there are plenty of attractions inside the park to take a ride on, there are some unique experiences outside of the park that may be just the ride you are looking for. Take in Florida’s beauty and experience nature the high-tech way as you explore Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & beyond on a Segway X2 during the Wilderness Back Trail Adventure. Hop inside a vintage Amphicar and cruise into the water in style for a lively 20 minute tour on Lake Buena Vista at Disney Springs. Looking for something a little less adventurous?  Relax on a horse-drawn carriage as you travel through one of 2 scenic landscapes on this 25-minute ride.

Experience the Magic YOUR Way

From which characters they want to meet to the rides they do and don’t want to find yet another place to eat chicken nuggets: We know that when we visit with the family, that usually means the children are generally guiding the day. On an adults-only visit, you are in control. This is YOUR vacation. Eat the treats, ride the rides, or just soak in the magic. Get your ears on and explore the parks in your own way.

Young or young at heart, there are plenty of magical experiences to enjoy on an adults-only vacation. Whether you are looking for some time away from the kids, a trip before you have kids or you are just looking for some alone time with your favorite grown-ups, there is plenty to see and experience on an adults-only getaway to Walt Disney World.
