Top 5 Romantic Experiences at Walt Disney World

Have you dreamed of a romantic getaway with your sweetheart... and Mickey Mouse?  You are not alone!  Many adults and couples travel kid-free and experience a romantic side of Walt Disney World.  Here are our Top 5 ways to spend time with your sweetie at Walt Disney World.

5. Watch fireworks from a more secluded location

Main Street U.S.A might have a fabulous view of Happily Ever After, but that also means it is super crowded, not the most romantic feeling to be crowded in by people and families on all sides.  Wander over to Fantasyland, Liberty Square, or Frontierland.

4. Stroll the World Showcase

My favorite times at World Showcase are just after 11am when it opens, or late at night after the fireworks have ended.  You'll get more time to explore and things will actually be open if you start at 11am, and you will enjoy lower crowds until about 12pm as people start to finish their time in Future World and head on back for delicious lunch foods. However, we love getting a later reservation at one of the many World Showcase restaurants, and hanging out until after the fireworks with our leisurely meal.  Then, as we exit the park (which you will have to do) it's a different atmosphere at night as everything shuts down and is peaceful with little to no other guests.

3. Dine at a signature restaurant, or really splurge for Victoria & Albert's

Signature dining at Disney ranges from a classic steakhouse like Yachtsman Steakhouse at Disney's Yacht Club Resort to more adventurous dining like Tiffins at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Based on your tastes and preferences, pick one that suits you and get dressed up for a nice night out.  Order a bottle of wine if you are so inclined, get that dessert - just enjoy yourself! If you enjoy fine dining, Victoria & Albert's at the Grand Floridian Resort is a real treat.  This adults-only restaurant is small and intimate, and will sure to be a night you won't forget.

2. Book a couples spa treatment

Many people don't even realize there are spas at Walt Disney World, but there are a few that offer a full range of treatments located at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort, Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort, and the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel. Pick whichever one appeals most to you, and book a couples massage and relax!

1. Stay at a deluxe resort, order room service, and enjoy!

We often get so caught up in trying to "do it all" on vacation, so why not take some time to really enjoy each other's company and reconnect?  Book a nice room, order some room service, turn off your phones and enjoy some great company, delicious food, and some beautiful views. I'd recommend a Theme Park view at a monorail resort to throw some fireworks in, but there are lovely lake views at many deluxe resorts.

The Villas at the Disneyland Hotel Review

I love staying at the Disneyland Hotel so when I got the opportunity to stay at the new Villas at the Disneyland Hotel during opening weekend, I couldn’t pass it up. Because it was opening weekend, we were greeted in the entrance way of the lobby with balloons and many photo opportunities. When we arrived, there was a mural of the Haunted Mansion. I love how the seats in the main lobby were designed like the teacups in the parks. You can check in using the Disneyland app, drop your bags with bell services and head into the parks or use the amenities why you wait until your room is ready. When your room is ready, the resort will send you a text and you can use the Disneyland app on your mobile device to unlock the room. We dropped off our bags and went straight to the parks. We received a text around 1PM that our room was ready. In the new Discovery Tower (the Villas), you'll find that the lobby is very spacious with many places to sit while you read or wait for your family. Th

Universal's Volcano Bay Private Cabana Review

On a recent training in Universal Orlando Resort, agents Maci, Ashley, Aubrey and Yaritza and I rented a private cabana for the day at Universal's Volcano Bay. There are multiple locations around the park along with the option to have an upper or lower level, all of which reflect in various pricing. Agent Ashley received an email the day before informing her of where to check-in the next morning. While we were personally escorted to the cabana shortly after check in, the line at the check in location is the same as those getting towels, meaning it was not short. As expressed by an additional guest checking into a different cabana, we would have greatly appreciated a separate line, since this caused our group about a half hour wait. We're all adults and made great use of our time getting some fun pictures before the park was filled with guests, but this is important to be aware of if you are traveling with children.  We had an upper level Cabana which came with a splendid view!

Our Favorite Mocktails at Walt Disney World

Your resident foodie and vacation lush here to chime in on our favorite zero-proof drinks at the parks which I feel like Disney has done a much better job of recently.  Zero-proof alcohol is really having a moment so you can get a lot more mocktails that aren't just sugary sweet, and I am here for it!  Whether you are trying out "Dry January" for your visit, currently pregnant, underage, or just choose not to drink for whatever reason, I hope this list helps you find something to look forward to trying on your next trip! Let's start with a popular one from the last year, the EARidescent Sip-a-bration drink.  This delight can be found at most lounges throughout the 50th celebration at Walt Disney World. It features Minute Maid® Premium Lemonade and Fruity Strawberry Punch, and is served in a souvenir 50th Celebration Cup with a surprise character. This is definitely a kid-friendly drink but it is so fun to drop in the character and watch the drink change color and sta
