Love is in the Air at Walt Disney World

If you’re panicking because you haven’t yet made plans made for Valentine’s Day – which, by the way, is this Saturday – don’t fret. Simply take your significant other to the magical place on earth, which can easily become the most romantic place on earth come February 14. At Walt Disney World, not only can you treat your significant other to a day of carefree fun, but the two of you can also share in unique and romantic experiences that only Disney can provide.

Whether you’ve only been dating for a short while or have been married for years, any couple can enjoy a relaxing and unforgettable morning at one of Disney’s resort spas. The Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, for example, features a couple’s room where guests can enjoy specialized spa treatments with their significant other. From a Grand Romantic Couple’s Massage to a Detoxifying Body Wrap, this tandem spa experience is the perfect way to get in the mindset for a day of enjoyment and romance at Disney.

Then, it’s off to the parks for some fun with your loved one. Magic Kingdom is a particular favorite among couples; you can snuggle close to your honey during attractions like the Haunted Mansion, and feel like a kid again together as you enjoy the thrills of Splash Mountain. Then at night, the Wishes fireworks spectacular caps a day of romance – and provides the perfect backdrop for a special question, should you choose to ask it.

Epcot is also popular for twosomes, as it has many attractions that appeal to the older crowd. You’ll enjoy holding hands as you walk around and see the sights of different pavilions like Japan and Norway. Be sure to stay close to each other during dark rides like Spaceship Earth and The Seas with Nemo & Friends. And at night, grab a dessert at the Boulangerie Patisserie in France and settle down to watch IllumiNations for a lovely Valentine’s Day finale.

When the parks close down, there’s still plenty of romance to be had at Disney resorts. Enjoy a moonlit horse-drawn carriage ride together at the Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, or, if it’s still early enough, an adventurous tandem parasail over Bay Lake at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. You can even go for a simple walk together on the beach or through winding forest trails.

And no Valentine’s Day is complete without a romantic and glamorous dinner. At Disney’s Contemporary Resort, the California Grill serves the best of California Fusion cuisine along with a panoramic view overlooking Magic Kingdom, perfect for watching the sunset over Cinderella’s Castle or the Wishes spectacular. Or, make a reservation for Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, where soft harp music, personalized menus, elegant china and silver, and stellar service sets the tone for a truly sophisticated and romantic dinner. Plus, every lady receives a long-stemmed red rose.

And for a meal that will really blow your date away, make arrangements to board the Grand Floridian’s Grand 1, an elegant 45-foot yacht, which provides a stunning view of Wishes along with gourmet meals and private butler service. Guests can also arrange for a private dinner on the resort’s beach.

Regardless of how you choose to spend your Valentine’s Day at Walt Disney World, you’re sure to have a magical holiday that neither you nor your partner will forget for a long time. Start planning your day of romance by booking your Walt Disney World tickets at DWTickets.com, and get ready to sweep your loved one off their feet.

Valentines Day at a Universal Resort and CityWalk

If you would like an alternative to spending Valentines Day at one of the two Universal theme parks the Universal Orlando Resort still has plenty of options for you and your loved one, from an exciting show at CityWalk to plenty of romantic options at the three resorts there on property. Or, you could always spend a day in the parks and then end your day with a bang with one of these options. If that is the plan, you can count on DWTickets.com to help with your Valentine’s Day expenses. We are your No. 1 online source for discounted tickets to all of the top attractions in Central Florida, so click here to peruse through these special discounted offers and get your Valentine’s Day planning underway!

As we mentioned earlier, the three first-class hotels at the Universal Orlando Resort are a great way to begin and end your Valentine’s Day this year. In addition to the plethora of amenities available, guests at these three resorts also get select privileges to both of the Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure parks, including a UNIVERSAL EXPRESS ride access pass, special activities and recreation, and many other perks for your park-hopping adventures.

The Royal Pacific Hotel is the largest of the three resort hotels, with 1,000 rooms, and is also the most affordable option of the three. This resort is a tropical paradise, with tropical landscaping, elaborate waterfalls and the orchid court with flowers in bloom all year long that will instantly transport any guest to an island in the South Seas. With a sandy lagoon-style pool to lay by in the afternoon and many fine dining establishments to visit at night (including Emeril’s Tchoup Chop, his second restaurant on property, featuring cuisine with Asian and Polynesian influences), you won’t even have to step foot off of the property to fully enjoy Valentine’s Day this year.

The second resort at Universal, the Hard Rock Hotel, prides itself on being the “coolest hotel on earth.” A California mission-style facade will greet the guests upon arrival, and a palm-lined swimming pool immerses visitors in not only water, but sound as well with their underwater music feature. With rock-n-roll memorabilia located throughout and a monthly rock-n-roll party with live bands, you truly can feel like a rock star at this resort. With 650 rooms, it is the smallest of the three accommodations, but it is by no means lacking in the entertainment department. If you happen to be staying here on Valentine’s Day, the Palm Restaurant at the Hard Rock Hotel is the most recommended sit-down restaurant, with a legendary menu of American fare, Italian cuisine, prime cuts of beef and jumbo lobster. For reservations for the Palm Restaurant, call 407-503-7256.

The third and final resort on property, the Portofino Bay Hotel, is at the head of the class for the Universal Orlando resorts and is by far the most romantic of all of the Universal Orlando hotels. It, like the other two resorts, has won numerous awards, including the AAA Four Diamond Award, Travel + Leisure Top-500 Hotels, and it is listed by Conde Nast as one of the "World’s Best Places to Stay." With its 750 guest rooms, an average room size of 463 square feet and three distinct pools (including a beach pool with children’s play area, an elegant villa pool with cabanas and a hillside pool), it outshines its competition. At the Portofino Bay Hotel, one can experience la dolce vita – the sweet life – as the picturesque hotel is located along a bay, creating the charm of a sunny seaside village of Portofino, Italy. It is even complete with intricate details such as cobblestone streets and outdoor cafes. Rooms offer stylish and spacious accommodations with Italian furnishings and VIP service all stay long, and dining here is heads and shoulders above the competition as well, with Mama Della’s Ristorante, Bice Ristorante and Trattoria del Porto all offering the finest in Italian cuisine.

If you happen to venture out of your hotel on Valentine’s Day, CityWalk offers a plethora of choices for a special Valentine’s Day. You can experience all of the clubs and bars at this entertainment hub, go see a movie at the AMC Universal Cineplex – or do both! For just $11.99, you can purchase a CityWalk Party Pass, which gives you unlimited one-night access to many of the clubs, bars and restaurants located around CityWalk (of note: this is included with your multi-theme park admission). Or, for $15.40, enjoy the CityWalk Party Pass and a Movie, which allows you the same access as above, with an additional pass to see a movie at the AMC Universal Cineplex, a 20-screen movie theater complex located in the heart of CityWalk. Among the clubs you will encounter at CityWalk are the Red Coconut Club, the newest venture that sits atop CityWalk, the groove – a dance club with a different theme each night – or Pat O’Brien’s, a re-creation of New Orleans’ favorite watering hole.

CityWalk also has another option that is still relatively new to the Orlando entertainment scene. Blue Man Group now occupies the Sharp AQUOS Theater at CityWalk, located between Hard Rock Café and the main entrance to Universal Studios, providing a small and intimate atmosphere for every single seat in house. Blue Man Group combines a unique blend of music, comedy and theatrics in a one-hour, 45-minute live stage show that amazes and engages its audience with new and unique creativity never seen before. Tickets for this show range from $59-$69 per person, with children’s tickets ranging from $49-$59. However, at DW Tickets, you can purchase discounted Blue Man Group tickets – simply call 1-877-219-9328 to place your order!

SeaWorld may have the only restaurant where you can dine with sharks underwater, but they also have another dining option that is unique to only SeaWorld Orlando.
