Walt Disney World Honeymoon Guide

Dreaming of a honeymoon that blends romance, playfulness, and just a little fairy tale magic? A Walt Disney World honeymoon is the perfect start to your happily ever after. From luxurious resorts to unforgettable dining and fireworks every night, this guide will walk you through everything you need to plan the kind of honeymoon you’ll be reminiscing about for years.

What Makes Walt Disney World an Incredible Honeymoon Destination

Walt Disney World is more than just a theme park destination—it’s a place where you can slow down, enjoy one another, and sprinkle a little magic into each moment. Whether you’re sipping cocktails on a rooftop, indulging in a couples’ spa day, or strolling hand-in-hand through Epcot’s World Showcase, there are endless ways to make your honeymoon feel both dreamy and grown-up.

Where to Stay: Romantic Resorts That Feel Like a Getaway

Choosing the right resort is key to setting the mood for your trip. For honeymooners, I love recommending places that feel a little tucked away, a little luxurious, and a lot magical.

The cottages at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn fit the bill perfectly. These charming, two-story hideaways are designed just for two, with a cozy living room and kitchenette—ideal for slow mornings and late-night snacks—and a loft-style bedroom tucked upstairs. Romantic touches like a Mickey and Minnie headboard add a bit of whimsy, while walkable access to Epcot, the Skyliner, and the BoardWalk itself means you’re never far from dinner, drinks, or fireworks. It’s the perfect pick for couples who want privacy, a touch of nightlife, and a whole lot of charm.

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort offers an island vibe complete with torch-lit paths, views of Magic Kingdom fireworks from the beach, and rooms that feel like a tropical escape. For a splurge, the overwater bungalows are absolutely unforgettable.

At Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, you’ll find elegance and charm with live music drifting through the lobby and a world-class spa just steps from your room. It’s romantic, polished, and steps away from the Magic Kingdom.

For something more unique, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge gives you private views of giraffes and zebras right from your balcony. It’s quiet, immersive, and beautifully themed.

And if you’re looking for a value-conscious option that still feels upscale, I highly recommend the Grand Destino Tower at Coronado Springs. Book a club-level room for an elevated experience—literally and figuratively—with private lounge access and panoramic views.

A Sample 5-Day Honeymoon Itinerary

Here’s how to strike that perfect balance between theme park magic and romantic downtime.

Day 1: Arrival and settling in
Check in, take some time to explore your resort, and ease into vacation mode. Book a dinner at your resort’s signature restaurant—like ‘Ohana, Narcoossee’s, or Toledo—and toast your first evening with a cocktail while watching the fireworks from the beach or rooftop.

Day 2: Magic Kingdom + Fireworks
Spend the morning at Magic Kingdom, riding a few iconic attractions and soaking up that just-married glow. Take it slow—stop for snacks, snap a few castle photos, and maybe wear a “Honeymoon” pin for a little extra pixie dust. Later, return to your resort for a rest before heading back for the evening fireworks. If you want a little extra magic, book a Fireworks Dessert Party for VIP viewing and sweet treats.

Day 3: Spa Day + Disney Springs
Sleep in, then head to the Grand Floridian Spa for a couples’ massage or facial. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy—lounge by the pool, grab lunch at the resort, or just relax. In the evening, head to Disney Springs for dinner at Wine Bar George or The Boathouse, followed by live music and a moonlit stroll.

Day 4: Epcot + Around the World Date Day
Start with an early ride on Guardians of the Galaxy or Soarin’, then spend the day eating, drinking, and exploring your way around the World Showcase. Pop into shops, try snacks from different countries, and take in the atmosphere. This is one of the most romantic ways to do Disney. End the night with dinner in France, Japan, or wherever your tastebuds take you.

Day 5: Animal Kingdom Adventure
Head to Animal Kingdom for a morning safari, followed by the Wild Africa Trek if you’re up for an adventure—this VIP tour includes behind-the-scenes views, rope bridges, and a private lunch overlooking the savanna. Wind down the afternoon back at your resort, or squeeze in one last meal at California Grill with sweeping views over Seven Seas Lagoon.

Extra Magic for Two

There are so many ways to personalize your Disney honeymoon. Add a private fireworks cruise with champagne, surprise your partner with an in-room celebration from Disney Floral & Gifts, or book a Capture Your Moment photo session for a romantic mini photo shoot in the parks. And if you’re looking for that extra sparkle, Memory Maker is a must—you’ll want every photo from this trip.

Dining Tips for Honeymooners

Make time for at least one signature dining experience—California Grill, Topolino’s Terrace, or Le Cellier are all great picks. For the ultimate splurge, Victoria & Albert’s is a once-in-a-lifetime dinner, complete with tasting menus and personalized service. Be sure to make reservations as early as possible—popular spots fill quickly, especially during peak season.

How to Make Your Disney World Honeymoon Feel More Grown-Up

It’s totally possible to do Disney without feeling like you’re on a school field trip. With the right approach, Walt Disney World can feel chic, elevated, and refreshingly adult-friendly.

Slow down the pace.
You don’t need to rope drop every park or chase every ride. Give yourselves permission to sleep in, linger over breakfast, and skip the queues in favor of quality time. This isn’t a race—it’s a celebration.

Prioritize experiences over attractions.
Make reservations at signature restaurants, sip handcrafted cocktails at a rooftop lounge, book a couples’ spa treatment, or take a private tour. The memories you’ll make won’t just be tied to rides, but to meaningful shared moments.

Build in resort time.
One of the best parts of a Disney honeymoon is enjoying your resort. Whether it’s lounging by the pool with a drink in hand, watching fireworks from a private balcony, or enjoying Club Level perks at Grand Destino Tower, your resort can feel like a luxe retreat from the park buzz.

Choose romantic corners of the parks.
Wander the Morocco pavilion at Epcot just before sunset. Take the walking path from the Grand Floridian to Magic Kingdom. Hop on the Skyliner for a breezy ride between resorts. These little moments feel magical—and very grown-up.

Dress up and go out.
You’re on your honeymoon—lean into it! Bring a dressy outfit for a night at California Grill or Topolino’s Terrace. Add a little sparkle to your park days too. It’s amazing how a sundress or linen button-up can elevate the whole day (and your photos!).

Indulge in the extras.
Private fireworks cruises, curated wine flights, and dessert parties aren’t just “add-ons”—they’re what make a honeymoon feel like more than just another trip.

Remember, this is your Disney. Romantic. Joyful. And perfectly tailored to your style.
