Orlando may be theme park heaven, but it’s also home to some very romantic venues. So, this Valentine’s Day, whether you plan to propose, celebrate an anniversary, or just have an amorous night out with your sweetheart, here are some unique ideas.
A carriage ride at Walt Disney World
Cuddle up with your sweetie for a romantic ride in a horse-drawn carriage. With two choices, you can pick the perfect selection for your love. Love the outdoors? Then choose the Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground carriage ride on trails through the beautiful pine and cypress trees.
Or ride along the riverbanks of the Sassagoula River as you clip-clop down the enchanting paths of Port Orleans.
Sail away to love
Disney offers two romantic cruises. You can sail away on a 40-ft. Italian Water Taxi and enjoy chocolate-covered strawberries and a champagne toast on the VIP Wine Tour at The Boathouse at Disney Springs. Or if you want to have a really extravagant evening, the ultimate VIP luxury voyage experience is aboard the Grand 1 Yacht (a 52-ft. Sea Ray yacht) at the Grand Floridian. The evening cruise includes a captain and a private deck hand, and getting to watch the Magic Kingdom’s fireworks show to synchronized music, and, if you like, you can arrange a bottle of champagne or dinner to be served while you sail along the Seven Seas Lagoon.
The best way book this cruise is to call 407-WDW-TOURS.
Universal City Walk
Start the night at Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen where you dinner and dessert are exceptional and the atmosphere is totally unique. Of course, chocolate is king here and you even can order scrumptious delicacies like a Bacon Brittle milkshake or a Salted Caramel Flan sundae.
After dinner, enjoy cocktails at the Red Coconut Club, sing with the dueling pianos at Pat O’Brien’s where every day is Mardi Gras, or dance the night away at the Groove.
Harbor Nights at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel
Take your sweetheart out for a night to remember at Universal Orlando’s romantic food and wine event under the stars at the Harbor Piazza.
Enjoy unlimited samples of gourmet food and desserts, along with live music and a balcony performance by the Portofino’s opera singers. This year’s harbor nights take place on February 10, April 21, October 13, and Holiday Harbor Nights on November 24.
There is so much to do in Orlando. Hopefully this sparks some ideas of your own.
