Roses are red, violets are blue and spending Valentine's Day at Disney World is the perfect way to say, "I love you!"
Leap and I have shared many Valentine's Days together, but the best ones naturally hoppened at Disney World! It's wonderful to share such a magical place with those you care about. Whether it's Valentine's Day or any other day that you want to spark romance, there are plenty of ways to show your love at the Most Magical Place on Earth.
Each February, Disney World has special offerings for Valentine's Day. Usually, it's just themed food. However, sometimes there can be special photo-ops, activities or live entertainment. With that in mind, let's hop into this year's offerings, as well as how you can create a romantic visit at Disney World all year long!

Romantic Things to Do at Disney World Year-Round
Now, I know this is hard to believe, but there are romantic things to do at Disney World even when it's not Valentine's Day. (Someone, please send word to Leap!) Surrounded by castles and fairy tales, Disney World is a toadally romantic pick to spend some quality time reconnecting with your partner. Here are a few of my favorite ideas!
Stay at a Disney World Resort Hotel
Walt Disney World Resort is dotted with hotels and resorts that cater to the needs and whims of visiting families. Not all of the Disney World Resort hotels say romance, but quite a few of them have lovely grounds that are perfect for moonlit strolls and impromptu picnics! The grande dame of them all, Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, is the epitome of elegance and romance. Like something straight out of a fairy tale, it's no surprise that the Disney Wedding Pavilion is located on the grounds.
It's also home to the Enchanted Rose, a toadally romantic date night choice if I do say so myself. Check it out in the video below!
We also think Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, Disney's Riviera Resort and Disney's Yacht and Beach Club are all good choices for couples, each with a romantic twist, gorgeous views and fun activities (sangria-making, anyone?). Meanwhile, one of Leap's faves (blame it on his love of Hawaiian shirts) is Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. Don't froget that we have discounts on Disney World hotel rooms so you can save some extra green to splurge on romantic extras instead.
Make a Splash on the Water
Delicious food options make Disney Springs a hoppin' date night spot. However, this revamped shopping, dining and entertainment district makes for a great date "day" too. For a fun experience — and a peek at how we amphibians live — hop in one of the vintage amphicars that drive on land and float on water at The BOATHOUSE. You'll have your own captain, and you can snuggle in the back seat during the tour across the waters of Disney Springs. Tours are offered daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. for up to four people, at $125 per car. Earlier reservations will be easier to come by. Keep in mind these tours won't operate in inclement weather.
Or perhaps you're feeling inspired by Ariel and Prince Eric's boat ride? You can rent canoes or kayaks at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. Set off on your own excursion through scenic streams and tranquil waterways. Sha-la-la-la-la-la, my, oh my! (Singing frogs not included.)
The Old Faithfuls
Flowers and chocolate are synonymous with Valentine’s Day but instead, think beyond the store-bought ones. Adding Disney-style to the old standbys really revs up the romance. Have a flower arrangement designed by a Disney florist delivered to your room.
Besides the specialty food we mentioned earlier, for sweets for your sweetie on Valentine's Day or anytime, stop by Disney Springs for Sprinkles Cupcakes, Erin McKenna's Bakery NYC, Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop, Amorette's Patisserie or The Ganachery. Plus Gideon's Bakehouse, Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew and the M&M's Store add even more delicious options to spoil your special someone with sugar!
Plan a Romantic Dinner
Guests can reserve dining 60 days in advance through My Disney Experience. If the restaurant of your choice is full, we recommend you call or check the dining reservation website daily until your trip for any last-minute cancellations. For the Disney Springs restaurants, you can also try Open Table. Here are our romantic faves from A-Z:
- Be Our Guest Restaurant at Magic Kingdom Park
- California Grill at Disney's Contemporary Resort
- Jaleo at Disney Springs
- Le Cellier Steakhouse at EPCOT
- Morimoto Asia at Disney Springs
- Narcoossee’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
- The Hollywood Brown Derby at Disney's Hollywood Studios
- Tiffins Restaurant at Disney's Animal Kingdom
- Topolino's Terrace - Flavors of the Riviera at Disney's Riviera Resort
- Tutto Italia Ristorante at EPCOT
Nightly Entertainment
End your perfect day with dazzling nighttime spectaculars such as Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom or Luminous The Symphony of Us at EPCOT. There's just something about seeing the sky light up at the Most Magical Place on Earth. Check out our guide for the best viewing areas to watch EPCOT's fireworks show.
Once the sun goes down, the park's iconic landmarks, including Cinderella Castle, Spaceship Earth, the Millennium Falcon and the Tree of Life, are illuminated and make romantic backdrops to snap a selfie or steal a smooch. At EPCOT's France pavilion, the Eiffel Tower is pretty fantastic too!
Would you believe me if I said one of my favorite areas lit up at night was a bathroom? It's true! In Fantasyland, the Rapunzel bathrooms are lit with lanterns after the sun sets, making it a gorgeous sight in the evening. Sometimes there's even a PhotoPass photographer to capture the perfect setting. All at once, everything looks different, now that I see youuuuu ...
Sunset Strolls in the Sand
There are spectacular beaches around the Disney property. Each of them, in turn, is a perfect place to watch the sunset. Grab some champagne and strawberries, or fixings for a full picnic.
Disney's Beach Club, Yacht Club, Polynesian and Grand Floridian have fantastic beach areas with swinging benches on which you can snuggle up next to your sweetie. If staying at one of the resorts along the monorail line, you may be able to catch the Electrical Water Pageant!
Snuggle Up
When I asked Leap what I should include in this guide, his response solely consisted of rides where you can snuggle up with your ride partner. (I'll take it!) Consequently, I had to add this section!
Over at Magic Kingdom, Astro Orbiter, Peter Pan's Flight and even the Haunted Mansion fit the bill (though that last one doesn't set the most romantic tone, Leap!). Alien Swirling Saucers always makes us slide together as we ride, and the charming Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway is sweet enough to make your heart burst. Plus all of the zany movements get you sliding in your seat too!
Snap a Selfie
There are so many picture-perfect spots around the resort! I can't even list them all! In fact, I find a new spot every time we visit. For example, Cinderella Castle, Cinderella's Wishing Well, the UK pavilion garden and the waterfall in Canada are all fantastic spots to stop. (OK, truth be told, most of World Showcase makes for beautiful photos!)
Notably, the pathways around the Tree of Life and the Pandoran sky islands are our must-stops at Animal Kingdom ... but most of that park is gorgeous too, so keep your camera handy. For special occasions, including Valentine's Day, you may also find that PhotoPass photographers have special props to use to commemorate the occasion.
I Love You a Latte
Got a java lover? There are Starbucks locations all around the resort, as well as Joffrey's Coffee, which is known for its latte art ... including Disney characters! Additionally, both Everglazed and Gideon's at Disney Springs have rave reviews for their coffee, as well. Looking for a special gift for your coffee lover? Each retail location offers specialty beans to take home, plus park-specific ceramic and acrylic tumblers and mugs.
Merch and Gifts
And speaking of gifts, luckily, you'll find anything you could imagine (plus more) at Disney Springs any time of year. World of Disney is the largest Disney Store in the world! But if you'll be visiting around Valentine's Day, you'll find some special offerings just for the season of love, including Pandora charms, Dooney & Bourke bags, phone cases, MagicBands, plushies and more.
No matter where you end up, you're sure to have a romantic time at the Most Magical Place on Earth with your special someone by your side!
By now, your special someone has landed the hint that you'd care for a bit of romance. I've listed out some of the most romantic things to do at Disney World, but I'm sure there are more.
