Splurge on Your Disney World Resort Hotel

When it comes to planning your Disney World honeymoon, one of the first things you’ll need to do is choose where you’re going to stay. And, the hotel you pick can have a big impact on your trip. After all, this is where you’ll be spending a lot of your time when you’re not out exploring the parks!

While you’ll find kids staying at any Disney World Resort hotel, Disney Moderate and Deluxe Resorts are known for being a bit quieter and offering more amenities that are great for an adults-only trip (like a honeymoon!). These hotels offer nicer pools, more dining options, and other upgraded activities that will make your stay truly special.

If you’re looking for the ultimate experience and have space in your budget, consider booking a Club Level room at Deluxe Resorts. This option provides access to an exclusive lounge throughout your stay, complimentary food and drinks, and personalized concierge service. It’s a great way to add an extra touch of luxury to your honeymoon.

No matter which resort you choose, be sure to take advantage of all the amenities and services offered. From spa treatments to romantic dinners, there are plenty of ways to make your honeymoon unforgettable. So go ahead and splurge on your Disney World resort hotel – you won’t regret it!

Dine at a Signature Restaurant

Disney World isn’t only full of theme park food – there are also some really good restaurants in the parks and resorts! For a memorable romantic meal to celebrate your nuptials, make a dining reservation for one of Disney’s signature restaurants. These fine dining experiences offer some of the best food in all of Disney World and the service is unmatched. Plus, you may even be able to get dinner and a show!

If you want to catch a stunning view of Magic Kingdom fireworks, book a reservation at California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary Resort or Narcoossee’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. You’ll need to time your reservation around the time of Happily Ever After fireworks (which is usually between 9-9:30PM) so keep that in mind when you’re planning.

And, if you’d prefer to see the EPCOT fireworks, Topolino’s Terrace – Flavors of the Riviera offers great views of the show from the rooftop patio at Disney’s Riviera Resort. Don’t forget that you’ll need a later reservation to be able to catch the show during your meal.

In addition to these, there are many other signature restaurants to choose from in both the parks and resorts. Be sure to make your reservation well in advance, as these restaurants tend to book up quickly. And, don’t forget to mention if you are celebrating a special occasion, as many restaurants offer special treats for guests on their honeymoon or anniversary.

Get a Free “Happily Ever After” Button

One of the best things about honeymooning at Disney World is that everyone wants to celebrate with you. And, the best way to let them know that you’re celebrating is to wear a “Happily Ever After” button. These buttons are designed specifically for newlyweds and are free. You can pick it up at guest services in any Disney World theme park or at the front desk of your hotel.

When you’re sporting your “Happily Ever After” button, you’ll be congratulated by lots of people and – you never know – a Cast Member might create a magical moment for the two of you! Plus, it makes for a great souvenir to take home and remember your honeymoon at Disney World.

Book a Fireworks Dessert Party or Cruise

If you’re looking for a romantic and unforgettable experience during your Disney World honeymoon, consider booking a fireworks dessert party or cruise. These special add-on dining events feature a unique dessert party themed to the fireworks show and reserved viewing in Magic Kingdom for Happily Ever After.

For something even more special, the Ferrytale Fireworks: A Sparkling Dessert Cruise is a popular option that takes place on select Wednesday and Saturday evenings. Instead of watching the fireworks from the park, you’ll arrive one hour prior to the scheduled fireworks time to check in at the Ferryboat launch and hop on the cruise boat. During the cruise, you’ll be treated to unlimited drinks and a delicious dessert party. And, the cruise stops at the perfect viewing spot on the Seven Seas Lagoon when it’s time for fireworks.

Dining packages are also available for the EPCOT fireworks show, Luminous The Symphony of Us. Instead of a dessert party, these packages come with a certain number of appetizers, entrees, and desserts, plus unlimited drinks. The reservations are timed so that you can watch the fireworks show on World Showcase Lagoon from your seat.

Add On Something Special

While a honeymoon at Disney World is already a special occasion, you may want to consider adding on something extra that you wouldn’t do on a traditional Disney World trip to make your experience even more memorable. Here are a few options to consider:

• Behind-the-Scenes Tour – If you’re interested in learning more about the inner workings of Disney World, consider booking a behind-the-scenes tour. These tours offer a unique look at the park’s operations and history, and can be a great way to enhance your overall Disney World experience.
• Spa Treatment – After a few days of walking around the parks, you may want to take some time to relax and unwind. Consider booking a spa treatment at one of Disney World’s spas. From massages to facials, there are plenty of options to choose from that will leave you and your partner feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
• After Hours Party – If you want to take advantage of some extra park time with fewer crowds, an after hours party is well worth the cost. While Disney offers traditional After Hours events throughout the year, there are also some extra special events if you’re traveling at the right time including Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
• Build Your Own Lightsaber – If you and your partner are Star Wars fans, don’t skip booking a session at Savi’s Workshop to build your own custom lightsabers. This is a truly unique experience that will allow you to create a one-of-a-kind souvenir to remember your honeymoon by.

Of course, there are plenty of other special add-on experiences that you can do during your honeymoon. So, be sure to do your research in advance to find what would be best for you and your partner.

Buy a Custom Souvenir as a Keepsake

Along with doing something special to celebrate that you’ll remember forever, you should also buy something that will help you remember your honeymoon forever! There are plenty of custom souvenirs to choose from throughout Disney World. So, it’s easy to find something that suits your style and budget.

If you’re looking for something unique, you can get a custom-painted Christmas ornament. This is a great way to commemorate your honeymoon, especially if you’re visiting Disney World during the holiday season. You can also check out Art of Disney, where you can find a variety of art pieces that will add some Disney magic to your home.

Another option is to get a Mickey Ears hat with your wedding date embroidered on it. Or, you can also get personalized Bride & Groom Mouse Ears, which are perfect for taking photos together on your trip.

Book a Capture Your Moment Photoshoot

You likely have a ton of pictures from your wedding day. And, what better thing to pair those with than a ton of pictures from your honeymoon? Disney offers Capture Your Moment photoshoots where you and your partner can post inside the Disney Parks! This personalized 20-minute private photo session pairs you with a Disney PhotoPass photographer who will facilitate a photo session with you at iconic locations in the parks.

The Capture Your Moment photoshoot is available at Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. And, you get to choose where you want it to be! For example, you could have your photoshoot at Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom, in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Hollywood Studios, or really anywhere else!

Just keep in mind that you must book in advance. Additionally, photos taken are not included in the purchase of the photo session, so you’ll need to buy them separately.

Take Advantage of Disney’s Nightlife

When you vacation at Disney World with your family, you’re probably spending your late nights in the parks or at your resort. But, on your honeymoon, we recommend that you ditch the parks for at least one night and explore Disney’s nightlife.

If you and your partner enjoy music and dancing, head over to Disney’s BoardWalk. Here you can visit JellyRolls (a dueling piano bar) and get down to the biggest hits from the past and present at Atlantic Dance Hall. Disney Springs is also a great spot to do some bar hopping if you like to be on the move and see a lot in one evening. Be sure to stop by Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar and The Edison here!

If you prefer an experience that you can truly only find in Disney World, spend some time at Trader Sam’s at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. This highly immersive lounge is themed as an extension of the popular Magic Kingdom ride, Jungle Cruise, and is sure to keep you laughing all night.

Don’t Forget to Relax!

While it’s tempting to want to do everything during your Disney World honeymoon, it’s important to remember to take some time to relax. After all, this is your honeymoon, and it’s a time to unwind and enjoy each other!

One of the best ways to relax during your Disney World honeymoon is to spend time at your resort pool. Disney hotels have some of the best pools, complete with waterfalls, slides, saunas, and more. You can lounge in a pool chair with a good book, take a dip in the water, or even order a drink from the poolside bar.

Another great way to relax during your honeymoon is to visit one of Disney World’s lounges. These lounges offer uniquely themed atmospheres where you can sit back, relax, and enjoy a drink or a snack. Some of the most popular lounges include the Enchanted Rose at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and Nomad Lounge at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

So, whether it’s at the pool, at a lounge, or just sitting on your balcony watching the fireworks, don’t feel like you have to be in the parks doing something at every waking moment.

Put Disney Gift Cards on Your Registry

A Disney World honeymoon can be expensive – especially if you’re staying at the best hotels, eating at the best restaurants, and adding on the best experiences in the parks and resorts. But, here’s a secret…you don’t have to pay for all of it on your own! Add Disney Gift Cards to your wedding registry so that your family and friends can contribute to your trip.

Disney gift cards can be used for dining, shopping, and other experiences throughout the parks and resorts, making them a versatile and valuable addition to your registry. By adding Disney Gift Cards to your registry, you can give your guests the flexibility to contribute to your honeymoon in a way that works best for them. Plus, you can use the gift cards to pay for anything! This allows you to stretch your honeymoon budget even further and create your perfect Disney World honeymoon.
