Planning a honeymoon at Walt Disney World means experiencing all the magic of your own real-life fairy tale. To discover the romance that comes with happily ever after at the happiest place on Earth, be sure to prepare ahead for a few extra special experiences while you’re there.
1. Where to Stay
Book a room at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, complete with a AAA Five-Diamond restaurant and a lobby orchestra serenading you with jazz and your favorite Disney classics. To kick up the romance, request an outer building room with a theme park view of the Magic Kingdom’s “Happily Ever After” fireworks show, so you can enjoy the lights with some bubbly in private. You can even work with a Disney Florist to dress up your suite before you return home from the parks for that extra bit of honeymoon magic.
2. Where to Dine
Book a romantic dinner for two at one of Disney’s iconic fine dining spots like Be Our Guest Restaurant. You’ll enjoy a romantic French-inspired meal under stunning fresco ceilings in the grand ballroom from Beauty and the Beast. Tip: You can prearrange a special gift to be brought to the table for your partner to remember the night by.
3. Where to Sip
Staying stateside for your honeymoon doesn’t mean you can’t travel the world while at Epcot. Stopping in for a romantic toast in the country of your choosing is certainly a must-do! Le Cellier Steakhouse has a cozy Canadian chateau cellar, while a visit to Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar at Tutto Italia Ristorante means enjoying a selection of over 200 bottles of Italian wines, beers and small plates before you venture out to your next country of choice.
4. What to Ride
Take a trip around the world (or the park) in one of Disney’s extra special modes of transportation: a horse drawn carriage through Disney’s Port Orleans, Fort Wilderness or a boat cruise in a romantic private yacht setting to watch the fireworks from the water. These are the moments you certainly won’t forget.
5. What to Reserve
Plan ahead when honeymooning at Walt Disney World so you don’t miss a minute of the romance. Make dinner reservations and book excursions and spa experiences ahead of time so you get the best seat in the house at your favorite spots in the parks without skipping a beat.
6. Where to Stroll
Take a trip to Disney’s BoardWalk and be transported back in time as you stroll along the water’s edge, take in the sights and sounds of vintage fun and stop in a cafe or two for some live music and cocktails. Then partake in some playful competition with classic midway games for two.
And don’t forget to pick up your complimentary honeymooners “Happily Ever After” pin when you arrive—you might even get a little extra love from the cast members if you do!
