It’s no secret: Disney’s most potent magical attribute is romance! Romances–both old and new–permeate Disney’s stories, songs, and culture. Whether you’ve gotten married at Walt Disney World with the help of Disney Weddings, visited each year for your anniversaries, or are about to introduce your significant other to Disney Parks, we’ve got the perfect Disney World Valentine’s Day itinerary for you!

1. Bring Out Your Adventurous Side!

There’s nothing like adrenaline and excitement to bring people together, and Disney excels when it comes to fun rides!

If you and your partner want to begin Valentine’s Day with an adrenaline rush, be sure to check out Big Thunder Mountain Railroad or Space Mountain in Magic Kingdom, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT, Twilight Zone Tower of Terror in Hollywood Studios, and Expedition Everest in Animal Kingdom.

For couples that like jump-scares, DINOSAUR in Animal Kingdom or the Haunted Mansion Magic Kingdom could provide the thrills that you’re after, without the high-speed chases attached.

2. Visit France

Is there a country more famous for romance than France? We didn’t think so!

You may not be able to really visit France for your anniversary, but EPCOT’s version is the next best thing, and you can’t go wrong with a twilight meal at Chefs de France. Indulge in delectable cheese-boards, wine-marinated salmon, and desserts that will leave you both speechless!

3. Enjoy a Night Out at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

One of Disney Resorts hotels’ greatest offerings is their aforementioned dining. Even if you aren’t staying at a particular resort, you can still make a reservation there and enjoy the location’s signature aesthetic during your meal.

The Grand Floridian is an excellent resort for this, since its high-end luxury makes it both elegant and romantic. Use a dinner reservation at Narcoossee’s as an excuse to get dressed up in your fanciest garb, and enjoy the princess-like experience as you make your grand entrance into the resort’s beautiful lobby!

4. Stroll Down Main Street, U.S.A.

This activity is particularly well-suited to anyone who is celebrating big milestones, like 50-year anniversaries, or anyone who loves the idea of old-fashioned dates.

When you’re walking hand-in-hand down the Magic Kingdom’s main thoroughfare, the buildings’ turn of the century décor and nostalgic offerings will make you feel like you’re back on a first date at the carnival.

5. End the Perfect Disney World Valentine’s Day With Dazzling Fireworks 

What’s more iconic at Walt Disney World than Magic Kingdom’s nightly fireworks shows? These impressive feats of pyrotechnic prowess are the perfect moment to cozy up with a loved one and take in the romance of Disney. 

Whether watching from a Disney Resort hotel or from Magic Kingdom itself, catching a viewing of the fireworks is the best way to end a Walt Disney World Valentine’s Day!

Walt Disney World means different things to each of its guests, but magic, whimsy, and romance are interwoven throughout the World’s parks and resorts.

It doesn’t matter if you and your loved one bond over thrills, or decadence, or relaxation; if you’re taking a couples’ trip to Disney World, you’re sure to “feel the love tonight” just like so many Disney characters have!
