Orlando Honeymoon

From the moment you answered, ‘I do’ you’ve been dreaming of a world-class honeymoon. However, marriage is all about compromise and if your better half is not a Disney devotee, you can still organize an incredible honeymoon in Orlando. In fact, broader Orlando honeymoons are ideal for couples wishing to explore the areas outside of the Walt Disney World Resort.

This city of sunshine, theme parks, and thrilling outdoor adventure was just made for pairs of two. Take a break from Goofy and the gang, to have a wild Orca experience at SeaWorld or brave the dizzying speeds of Mako.

Travel to infinity and beyond at the Space Center, or sunbathe on the sandy shores of Cocoa Beach. By bundling both your accommodations and awesome Orlando activities you can save big and still see Disney.

When to Book Your Disney Honeymoon

If possible, travel to Walt Disney World during an off-peak time of the year. To avoid the crowds and take advantage of seasonal prices on flights, plan your honeymoon during these specific times:

  • Second week of January through mid-February
  • First three weeks of May (before the school year is over)
  • Late August and entire month of September
  • Mid-November through mid-December (except the week of Thanksgiving)

If these times aren’t possible, no worries! There are plenty of other ways to plan an affordable Walt Disney World honeymoon.

A Park Hopper pass allows you both to visit multiple Walt Disney World resort theme parks in one day. While this is a nice convenience, we recommend forgoing the park hopper pass on your honeymoon.

You’ll want to slow down and savor every moment, which is hard to do when you’re racing from park to park. This additional pass can cost anywhere from $50-$60 per person in addition to park admission.

To save money, visit one park per day and use your free time for extra magical experiences such as shopping at Disney Springs.

Book a Year in Advance

It is recommended that couples book their honeymoon to Disney World a year in advance. This enables you and your significant other to have guaranteed lodging, tickets, dining reservations, and take advantage of the best possible rates.

Be Flexible with Your Itinerary

While we just told you to book a year in advance, one of the best ways to stretch your honeymoon budget is to be flexible.

For example, arranging your travel days according to the cheapest airfare is always a good idea if you are able to be flexible. Also, being flexible in your itinerary is a good idea as it allows you to take advantage of extra experiences and unexpected opportunities throughout your Walt Disney World honeymoon.

Once you’ve set your budget, launched your honeymoon registry, and know how to save, it’s time to start the reservation process.

Honeymoon Suites at Disney World*

Walt Disney World resorts are home to a number of premier properties that just ooze amor. Relax with your honey in African-inspired lodgings, or shower them with roses and chocolates from a spacious suite at the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. From budget-friendly hotels to extravagant resorts, you have a wide range of lodging options to choose from.

*Are you and your boo angling for a west coast Disneyland escape? Don’t fret as the Disneyland Honeymoon Suite is the stuff Disney fantasies are made of. You and your beloved will enjoy a gold canopied bed, a massive jet tub, and a special greeting from a very special Disney character.

Depending on your Walt Disney World honeymoon budget, you have three options:

  1. Book a hotel room at one of the budget resorts.
  2. Reserve a room at a resort offering premium amenities, but still within budget.
  3. Go all out and get a room at one of Disney’s top-tier resorts.

The budget-friendly hotel options for guests are Disney’s All-Star Resorts.

While the price of these rooms is enticing, keep in mind that the hotel property is geared towards families and children. This means that the pool, dining area, and resort lobby will be filled with families.

Just remember, you aren’t going to Walt Disney World for the hotel room. If you plan to spend most of your time outside of the hotel room, this is a great option for budget-conscious honeymooners.

Upscale Walt Disney World resorts that won’t break the bank include:

  • Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
  • Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
  • Walt Disney World Swan
  • Walt Disney World Dolphin

Make Your Dining Plans

Everyone knows that the restaurants at Walt Disney World resort are above reproach.
If there’s a specific restaurant you and your future spouse want to dine at during your honeymoon, make sure to reserve your dining experiences ahead of time.

In fact, it’s strongly recommended that reservations be made as far as 180 days in advance. Is your future partner in crime a real foodie? Spoil your special someone with the finest dining Disney offers, with a reservation at Victoria & Albert’s.

From the warm glow of the chandeliers to the semi-formal dress code, every inch of this award-winning establishment emanates elegance and class. Feast for hours on diverse culinary creations, and don’t forget to toast with a glass of bubbly or a rare vintage from their diverse collection of over 500 wines.

Pro Tip: Make sure you have reservations for a late dinner at California Grill, located on the 15th floor of Disney’s Contemporary Resort. You can watch the magnificent fireworks shows from this restaurant while enjoying a meal. Between the food and the views, dining at California Grill is a true ‘can’t miss’ experience while enjoying a Walt Disney World honeymoon.

When planning your honeymoon to Walt Disney World, your first thought might be to procure a rental car. However, think of all the costs associated with renting a car: gas, parking, insurance, and on.

A rental car will eat through your budget in an instant. Instead, rely on the transportation options provided by Walt Disney World Resort.

Uber or Lyft provides transportation to and from the Orlando International Airport and guests can use the monorail or bus system to get around Walt Disney World resort.

Plus, if you are staying at Disney’s Boardwalk Resort or Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, you can now take advantage of Minnie Vans.

Using the Lyft app, guests can request this ride-sharing service anytime from 6:30 am to 12:30 am in the resort.

Purchase Theme Park Tickets

Now onto the main reason you chose a Walt Disney World honeymoon — the theme parks!

If not already taken care of by your honeymoon registry, it’s time to purchase your tickets to the Walt Disney World theme parks. Be sure to check Tripster for discount tickets to all four theme parks and more.

Now that you’ve procured your tickets, use these Disney honeymoon tips to make the most of your honeymoon in the theme parks:

Utilize Genie+

Dying to ride the Haunted Mansion? Anxious to finally try the new Seven Dwarfs Mine Train roller coaster? Unfortunately, so are hundreds of other guests.

Bypass the sprawling attraction lines with Genie+. Using the My Disney Experience app (which you both need to download!), select your top three rides or shows and create your reservation. When the reservation time approaches, head back to the ride and enjoy!

Visit on a Weekday

As you might have guessed, weekends at Walt Disney World theme parks are overcrowded. Visit the theme parks on weekdays to eliminate some of the crowd congestion and lines.

With fewer crowds, you and your spouse can experience all the theme parks have to offer during your Walt Disney World honeymoon.

Purchase a PhotoPass

While at the theme parks, you’ll find yourself trying to get the perfect picture of you and your significant other. Instead of asking a stranger to do it, let one of Disney’s pro photographers help!

With a PhotoPass, photographers will help you capture lifelong memories of your Walt Disney World honeymoon. You can then access your images on the My Disney Experience app and cherish them forever by downloading and printing or sharing with friends and family.

Disney World Honeymoon Tips

Wishing on a star that your Disney honeymoon will live up to your childhood fantasy? Fortunately, couples celebrating the big ‘I do’ in Disney will have lots to look forward to. From Mickey adorned buttons to in room deliveries of rose petals and champagne, there are plenty of honeymoon perks at Disney World:

  • More than just a journey into a galaxy far, far away, Disney World Honeymoons allow you and your lover to travel the world without ever leaving Orlando. Travel the globe thanks to EPCOT’s World Showcase and savor flavors, libations, and entertainment from everywhere from China to Italy.
  • Just roller coasters, no way! You may be beginning your life as a duo in a theme park, but that doesn’t mean endless Space Mountain screams. Schedule in some TLC and take a break with sensual massage treatments, languid pool days, boating, or golfing.
  • Ride off into the sunset like the true prince or princess you are when you make a date for carriage rides at the Port Orleans Resort or Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort.
  • Show off your sugar to the whole world now that it’s official! Take advantage of some free Disney celebratory ‘Happily Ever After’ buttons. These snazzy souvenirs will spice up any photo, and let fellow tourists and cast members know your status as honeymooners.
  • Don’t let the magic lapse when you leave the park! Bring a smile to your significant other’s face when you plan secret surprise deliveries of bouquets, wine, and other luscious treats to your room.

Trust us – you’re in store for a treat once Walt Disney World cast members find out you’re on your honeymoon. From free dessert to complimentary souvenirs and more, you’re in for a great surprise.

In addition, it’s super fun to wear bride and groom Mickey ears. You’ll hear congratulations from everyone which makes your honeymoon that much more special.

Go Behind-the-Scenes

Enjoy a unique honeymoon experience by reserving your spot for one of the exciting behind-the-scenes tours. Each theme park offers a vast array of tours, but my personal recommendation is the Keys to the Kingdom tour at Magic Kingdom.

During this legendary tour, you’ll have access to the mysterious underground tunnels, learn about Mr. Walt Disney and his vision, and more. Want to get a bit wild? Why not try a behind-the-scenes tour of the action at Animal Kingdom?

Time to Plan Your Walt Disney World Honeymoon

Before you dive into planning for Disney World activities using this step-by-step guide, let us leave you with a bit of last-minute advice:

  • There’s more to Walt Disney World than the theme parks. Visit Disney Springs, go to the spa, play a round of golf!
  • Remember to get a customized souvenir from your Walt Disney World honeymoon.
  • Slow down and enjoy your honeymoon! You want to create lasting memories. There’s no need to rush!

After the first dance, cutting the wedding cake, and throwing the bouquet, it’s easy to feel like the most exciting parts of your wedding are behind you.

However, rosy-cheeked couples with their sights set on Orlando, Florida know they still have tons of fun in store.

Live out the rest of your fairy tale when you fashion an unforgettable Disney honeymoon.

Spend hours holding hands as you rock your adorable matching buttons, or enjoy soaking wet couples photos in front of Splash Mountain.

Share a pile of spaghetti and meatballs a la Lady and the Tramp, or say ‘oui’ to a night of Parisian passion in EPCOT.

From the thrills of Rise of the Resistance to couples massages in the comfort of your five-star resort, there’s no better place to begin your very own Happily Ever After than Disney.
