Make Magic With These Disney Honeymoon Ideas

What better way to celebrate your marriage than with a magical honeymoon? Whether you’re a lifelong Disney fan or you’ve always dreamed of your first visit, there are endless Disney destinations that can make your first vacation as a married couple a memorable one.

Disney Resorts for Honeymooners

Resorts all over the world are a popular destination for honeymooners. If you want to make your post-nuptials trip even more memorable, consider visiting a Disney resort. There are magical options at every Disney park around the world.

At the original Disneyland in Southern California, you have your choice between three extraordinary resorts — Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, Disneyland Hotel and Pixar Place Hotel. You can book a spacious Signature Suite with stunning views and unique Disney themes. With close proximity to both Disneyland Park and Disney’s California Adventure Park, you and your partner will enjoy twice the fun.

Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, has even more options for honeymooners. Its world-famous deluxe hotels come in a range of themes to suit your tastes, from the tropical Polynesian Village Resort and Villas to the opulent Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, modeled on Victorian-era beachside resorts. You can elevate any honeymoon experience with VIP tours, luxury dining reservations and relaxing accommodations like couples massages.

If you’re thinking internationally, you can take a romantic trip to one of Disney’s resorts outside of the U.S. Disneyland Paris, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and Tokyo Disney Resort are unique honeymoon destinations. They offer spectacular fireworks celebrations, delicious local cuisine and special perks for newlyweds.

Romance and Relaxation at Disney Parks

Of course, a trip to any Disney property is about more than the hotel. In addition to being a popular wedding location, Disney parks are full of opportunities for newlyweds to make the most of their vacation together. Are you and your new spouse foodies who want a luxury dining experience? Maybe you’re both thrill-seekers chasing every coaster in the park. Whatever you’re looking for, consider these ideas to enjoy all the fun and romance Disney parks have to offer:

Tour Epcot’s World Showcase

Turn your honeymoon in Orlando into a trip around the world. Take your time touring the World Showcase in Epcot, stopping at each of the 11 pavilions representing different countries. You and your partner will enjoy sampling local snacks, drinks, cultural celebrations and more.

Enjoy a fancy dinner at Cinderella’s Royal Table

With so many amazing restaurants on Disney properties, it can be hard to choose which ones to visit. If you’re looking for a magical experience, make a reservation at Cinderella’s Royal Table inside the castle in Orlando’s Magic Kingdom.

Take a carriage ride

What’s more romantic than an old-fashioned carriage ride? Port Orleans Resort is one of the most scenic Disney hotels. It offers a horse-drawn excursion along the beautiful Sassagoula River. Enjoy the peace and quiet with your loved one 

Capture Your Moment photo session

Disney’s Capture Your Moment photo sessions allow you to treasure the memories you make on your honeymoon. Several parks have Capture Your Moment spots in the most picturesque areas, such as the World Showcase in Epcot and the Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom.

Book unique VIP tours

There are several private tours you can book to enjoy exclusive views of Disney attractions. Get an up-close look at the elephants of Animal Kingdom with the Caring for Giants tour. Enjoy backstage access to Magic Kingdom’s most famous spots with the Keys to the Kingdom tour. Looking for something even more unique? Create your own personalized VIP tour to make sure you and your partner see everything you want.

Celebrate at the California Grill

Dinner at the Contemporary Resort’s upscale California Grill is the best way to watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks. Celebrate your marriage with a romantic evening of fine dining and beautiful panoramic views of Cinderella’s Castle and the lagoon. 

Order an in-room celebration

Start your honeymoon with a surprise for your loved one. Order a specially designed in-room celebration, from magical snack and gift baskets to floral arrangements and balloon bouquets. It’ll kick off your vacation on an enchanting note.

Take in a thrilling Cirque du Soleil show

One of Disney’s most popular live shows, Cirque de Soleil is a stunning acrobatics performance in Disney Springs at Walt Disney World. With the Page to Stage Experience, you go behind the scenes to see the show like never before. It’s an exclusive thrill for anyone drawn to the magic.

Beyond the Parks — Disney Honeymoon Destinations

Go beyond the classic Disney parks with more adventurous honeymoon destinations, including Disney cruises and Disney Vacation Club resorts.

Cruises

Cruises are already a popular type of honeymoon vacation. If you love all things Disney, take it to the next level with a Disney Cruise Line experience. Whether you’re touring the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Europe or Alaska, you’ll visit several beautiful ports on your journey while taking in everything the ship has to offer.

Take advantage of onboard amenities for the ultimate romantic honeymoon experience, from couples’ spa treatments and luxurious dining to adults-only nightclubs and lounges. Enjoy the nightlife at ports of call at every stop along the way.

Disney Vacation Club

If you’re a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) member looking for a more low-key trip, consider visiting a new Disney destination for your honeymoon. With several locations available around the country, you’re sure to find something that appeals to you and your partner.

For example, Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa, is the perfect way to enjoy a Hawaiian vacation through the DVC. Located on Oahu, Aulani is perfectly situated for visitors who want to explore all Hawaii has to offer. Disney’s Hilton Head Resort is another DVC property popular among honeymooners — relax by the pool and enjoy South Carolina’s laid-back lifestyle along the beach.

Honeymoon the Disney Way

A Disney honeymoon can be the perfect way to start your marriage. Whether you’re soaking up the Florida sun at Disney World, enjoying the classics at Disneyland or embarking on a European cruise with Disney Cruise Lines, you’re sure to find some magic on your journey — after all, it’s the happiest place on Earth. Treasure this time with your partner and create an unforgettable experience you’ll never forget.
