Romance That Can Be Magical At Walt Disney World

Free Disney Tickers

Cheryl and Nelson Echevarria

Ever since Nelson and I met back in 1992, both of us being married before, we wanted to focus on us. On how to keep our marriage and life more romantic and always try and go to some place every few years to renew our vows, and remember why we are together. Through thick and thin.

We both have children from previous marriages and also we are grandparents now.

This year we are celebrating our Anniversary at Walt Disney World. It is also the 45th Anniversary of the Magic Kingdom. So we are very excited to go. We both have not been there together since August 2009. Just and FYI, unless you really love the heat and humidity, do not go to Florida in August. Plan on going if you must, either the middle of June, after Labor Day, especially if you are going as a couple and do not want the crowds.

Okay, why we feel that Disney is a romantic setting for couples of all ages, it is one of the top 10 places to get married in the United States. I mean who wouldn't want to get married as a Princess to her Prince, to show up in your wedding gown in Cinderella's Royal Coach, and get pictures in front of a castle.

Let's start out with the resort hotels on property. Especially for a romantic getaway or honeymoon. Number 1 property for that, if you want to have that Hawaiian feeling.  The Polynesian Resort. which is right off of the monorail by the Magic Kingdom property. Once you walk in, you feel like you are somewhere in the South Pacific like Hawaii, Fiji, and Bora Bora. The resort now has over the water bungalows. with view of Cinderella's Castle. You also have the pools and bars that are just great to relax and enjoy, and you might just close your eyes and not even know you are in Disney.  At night you can watch the Wishes Fireworks from the Magic Kingdom and watch the Electric Water Pagent around the Lagoon

At the Walt Disney World Resorts

Also there is the Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show in the evenings, with hula and fire dancers from all areas of the Polynesian Islands.

Another resort property we have stayed at is the Animal Kingdom Lodge.

It was like we stepped into Africa. The pictures above don't do it justice. When you want into the main entrance and lodge of the resort with all the art works and design that it took to put in this property, you will know why Disney is not a cheap place to visit. It is though a definite place to save up for and enjoy staying on property, just for the resorts alone, all of the resort properties have a theme, and they go from Value, to moderate, to luxury. There is a budget for everyone. 

At night walking around here, and listening to the animals, and walk by the firepits to listen to the stories or go and have a romantic dinner at Jiko - The Cooking Place. The food there is some of the best, and as long as you are opened to new things, and like to explore new experiences this might be a perfect place for you to spend a romantic evening of wine tasting, and African, Indian and Mediterranean Food. 

This year we are staying at the Moderate Resort, Port Orleans at the Riverside property, they also have the French Quarter side. These properties are connected to each other. Designed like you are staying in New Orleans, LA. From the food at The Boathouse to the fishing at the lake, and in the evening you can arrange to take a horse carriage ride through the property, and then finish the night off with a campfire or just walk along the paths with the stars in your eyes and hold hands and discuss the day.  We haven't stayed here yet, but from our couples who have stayed there recently in April. They said it was one of the most romantic trips they had taken since their honeymoon.

Between the different resorts there, which add up to 25 different theme properties at Walt Disney World, the food, the ambiance of the places you will be able to enjoy is unlimited.

To the point that you don't even have to visit the theme parks unless you want to.

But, you are here and things you can do.

What we have done:

Always walking hand in hand through the theme parks. Going through "It's A Small World" Ride, or being silly with the Disney Characters. Kissing during the fireworks. Toasting a glass of wine, or other things to do.

There are Spas, Golf, seeing a show in Disney Springs or at one of the theme parks.  Parasailing near the Contemporary Resort, or just lying around the pool. Us old folks. LOL. NOT!! We love Disney it brings back memories for us, and that you don't have to be a kid to feel like a kid.

If you have questions of what else you can do or see, which resort might be best for you, or best time to travel. Let us know, you can plan up to 499 days prior to travel and if there are discounts along the way we can apply them. Also, if you are a Disney Visa Card Member, we can work with you as well. 

Thank you, and keep having romance and love in your lives. It keeps from your marriage or relationship from being stale and uninterested.

Love

Cheryl & Nelson Echevarria.
