ROMANCE IN THE AIR:
Tips from AllEars(R) Readers
Edited
by
Debra Martin Koma
Senior Editor, ALL EARS(R)
OK, so it's not spring yet, but still... our fancy is turning to
thoughts of love and romance.
A few months ago, we asked you to share your best tips for
creating romantic moments while visiting Walt Disney World. Many
of your responses didn't surprise us -- romantic dinners at
California Grill or Victoria & Albert's, walks on the beach at
the Polynesian, spa treatments, and watching the fireworks from
a cozy hammock are all just what we might have expected. But
some of you definitely look for romance in more unusual places,
and suggested some uncommon ways to put that romantic spark into
a night at the Most Magical Place on Earth! As Valentine's Day
is just around the corner, we thought we'd share some of the
most romantic tips, as well as some magical romantic memories
our readers created for themselves.
THE ROMANTIC DINNER OUT
Kelly Roberts: My husband and I have been fortunate enough to
spend the past five anniversaries at Disney World. Each time we
visit, we make sure to keep to our romantic traditions while
also providing opportunities for new memories. We always spend
our anniversary dinner at California Grill in the Contemporary
Resort. As deluxe restaurants go, it's the perfect combination
of exquisite flavors, amazing views, and love-my-honey ambiance!
My husband and I time our dinner to coincide with "Wishes";
we'll take our drinks out to the outdoor observation deck and
listen to the piped-in music as the fireworks explode in front
of us. On our most recent anniversary, we walked on the beach of
the Polynesian at night, timing it again with "Wishes." The
music is piped in here as well, but the atmosphere is romantic
for a different reason; here, we sat on the sand, arm in arm,
sharing the event with just a few other spectators. Bliss!
Vincent: Our favorite romantic night out is a trip to Victoria &
Albert's. It is one night (without the children) each trip where
we spoil ourselves. I cannot describe the ambience better than
your site. The little touches such as the harpist, the
personalized menus and the personal attention all contribute to
a night always remembered We plan on a nice night out and are
prepared to spend the money. No whim is too much. At the risk of
sounding corny or using a cliche, this night is truly 'Magical'
for us.
Jessica W.: I got engaged while on vacation [in WDW] in late
November 2003. My boyfriend at the time booked the Romance
Package, which included a carriage ride and two vouchers that we
used for dining at Jiko and Bistro de Paris. We stayed at the
Wilderness Lodge, which was decked out in wonderful Christmas
decorations. This was the perfect time of year for a carriage
ride at Fort Wilderness in the dark. There were so many
campsites that were decorated for the holidays with lights and
wreaths. It was the perfect setting for my boyfriend to pop the
question We followed up our romantic carriage ride with our
first meal at my all-time favorite restaurant, Victoria &
Albert's V&A's is definitely the most romantic, truly candlelit
dinner on WDW property and worth every penny we spent. It was so
nice to dress up and be treated like royalty by the best
waitstaff you will ever encounter The main dining room is
definitely one of the most romantic spots at WDW with wonderful
flower arrangements, harp music, soft lighting, fantastic food,
superb service, and a rose at the end of the meal for the
ladies. Who could ask for anything more?
Laurie DeGreef: Walt Disney World is definitely a romantic
place, especially for the young-at-heart. My husband and I do
not know who adores the place more, us or our three young boys!
Luckily, during our last two trips, my aunt from Bradenton has
come up to spend some time with us during our stay at Walt
Disney World. She stays in her motor home at Fort Wilderness and
even takes the boys for a sleepover one night. My husband and I
actually get a "date night" at The Most Magical Place on Earth!
We typically enjoy a romantic dinner at one of the Epcot
restaurants and then stroll through the World Showcase
hand-in-hand. The best part of the entire evening, though, is
back at our resort -- the Polynesian. Nothing is more romantic
than sharing a hammock with my husband on the beach of the Seven
Seas Lagoon, gazing out at views of the Grand Floridian, Magic
Kingdom, Contemporary, and starry sky! Depending on the time, we
can even catch a glimpse of Wishes or the Electrical Water
Pageant. It is truly a Magical "Romantic" Moment!
OFF THE BEATEN PATH
Shelley: There are plenty of "traditional" romantic activities
at the World (my personal favorite is a quiet tea-for-two at the
Garden View Tea Room). But some of our most romantic moments
have been in a less obvious place -- Spaceship Earth. After
hours in the parks fighting the crowds and heat, it is such a
joy to snuggle up in the little car and enjoy a peaceful ride.
It is dark and cool, and we feel like we are in our own little
world, if only for a few minutes (it is particularly cozy during
off-peak periods when you have empty cars on either end). And
every time we reach the top of the sphere and see the stars laid
out above us, I remember the most important part of the trip --
spending time alone with my favorite person in the world at the
happiest place on earth!
Leslie and Mike Mack: The following location/time I am going to
suggest as "romantic" may be a surprise: We both love and will
not miss the brunch at Cinderella Castle! I knew we were in for
a treat on our first visit when the hostess stated, "Please go
into the lobby and wait to be greeted by the Fairy Godmother..."
From there we entered into the circular shaped elevator and when
the doors opened it felt like we entered a different world. The
sun was shining through the stained glass windows, the
princesses were visiting each table, and we were greeted like we
were royalty The ambience, food and early admittance into the
park can not be missed! My husband was very reluctant to try it,
but enjoyed every picture with the princesses, the food, and our
amazing anniversary toast to each other with OJ! What an awesome
way to start the day in the Magic Kingdom! No matter what age or
circumstance, the brunch is not to be missed.
Jessica W.: My husband and I like to hop on the Tomorrowland
Transit Authority at any time of day; it's one of our favorites.
However, the most romantic time is during Wishes. It's fun to
ride around Tomorrowland, in and out of the buildings, and
catching the sounds and glimpses of the fireworks. I would
definitely recommend it to couples who have seen Wishes a few
times and are looking for a new way to experience the fireworks.
We also love to sit on one of the benches near the hub after the
huge surge of people have left the park for the night so that we
can hold hands and watch the castle change colors.
Melissa Slocum: The most romantic evening I had at Disney was
when we took a carriage ride at Fort Wilderness. I planned it
for our anniversary and it was perfect. In the middle of the
carriage ride we started to see and hear the fireworks, which
made it even more romantic. I would recommend this to any couple
of any age.
The Ravster13: The rocking chairs that surround the outdoor fire
at the Animal Kingdom Lodge are a great place to spend some time
with your significant other, especially on a cool night with a
warm drink.
Teresa E.: My husband and I try to take at least one adults-only
trip per year to the World. Last year my husband called the
Disney Florist at 407-827-3505 and received tons of help in
making our trip romantic. They offered everything from rose
petals and champagne waiting for me in our room to a ride on
Cinderella's carriage complete with footmen and a glass slipper.
Unfortunately for me, this one was a wee bit out of his budget,
but the helpful cast member had plenty of other romantic ideas.
I didn't mind at all that they weren't his!
Heidi Weymouth: My husband and I always go to the Boardwalk area
for dinner and relaxation the first night of our vacation. After
dinner we stroll around Crescent Lake taking in the sights and
sounds, making sure to spend plenty of time just sitting on the
many benches located on the path. We enjoy the free
entertainment near the Boardwalk Inn and play some of the
carnival games, too; it's very romantic to have your sweetie try
to win you a prize! (Here's a tip within a tip: If you are
staying at a Disney hotel and took a bus or boat to get there,
take a taxi back to your hotel. Nothing can ruin an evening like
having bus problems or delays. Taxis are waiting just outside
the Boardwalk Inn entrance; ask a valet to get you one.)
MAGICAL MEMORIES:
Mrs. Leto: My husband and I just returned from WDW where we
celebrated our 15 year anniversary without the kids. We had a
wonderful and relaxing time. There was one thing that really
sticks out. We watched Wishes from the rose garden at the Magic
Kingdom. We had a wonderful view! Afterwards my husband and I
decided to just let the crowds head out and we would take our
time leaving. After about 10 minutes we walked down into the
rose garden further and it was so peaceful and really all we
could hear was the music from the park, so we danced. It was a
beautiful end to a beautiful evening. My husband told me I was
as beautiful as all the roses surrounding us. It truly must have
been some "Disney magic"; he usually isn't quite so mushy.
Anyway, it is something I will always remember and that spot
will have a special place in my heart.
A. Brooks: My late husband and I used to celebrate our December
wedding anniversary at Disney World. One evening, we went to the
Grand Floridian to check out the elegant lobby in its Christmas
splendor. A small band was playing on the balcony and my husband
asked them to play "Stardust," one of "our" songs. As the sweet
strains began, my husband slipped his arm around me. We stood on
the upper level in an almost dream-like state, enchanted by the
music, gazing at the twinkling Christmas tree and the holiday
beauty below. The music completely filled the lobby and as the
final notes hung in the air, I walked over to the band, tears
running down my cheeks, and blubbered, "Thank you." Today,
whenever I walk into the Grand Floridian, I can still hear
"Stardust" and think of that special night.

merely as points of interest; they often contain speculation or

it in the ALL EARS(R) HEARS section to get feedback from others

... from Melanie Cook: I just returned this morning from the
Wilderness Lodge. While there, I went to the Grand Floridian for
some spa services. The Grand Floridian lobby is being
refurbished. The lobby itself is barricaded off. The perimeter
shops and check-in is still open. The tuxedoed pianist is still
playing but is off to the side near check-in. The Garden View
Tea Room is also closed for refurbishment and is temporarily
located next to Citricos. Just thought you could let people know
that if they're planning on a visit and looking for the usual
elegance and ambience, they're in for a major disappointment! I
have no idea when the refurbishment is finished. The spa
services, however, were fantastic!
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
... from Caren: The egg roll cart near the Swiss Family Tree
House is now a turkey-leg cart.

... from Kimberley Schulman: My son lost a tooth at Disney and
was afraid the Tooth Fairy would not be able to find him at
Beach Club. He was very upset. I told him that Tinker Bell is
the only fairy on Disney property and maybe she would leave him
something. After falling asleep from a big day at the Kingdom,
my husband went downstairs for Disney money. When Eric woke up
and saw DISNEY money he could not believe his eyes. He told us
that Tinker Bell had to be the one because only she would have
Disney money! Needless to say he had fun spending his tooth
money at the park!
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
... from Tracie Cain: We went to the World the first week of
December with our three children, 12, 11 and 6. Two of them
really got into the pin collecting and trading with cast
members. Toward the end of our week there one of the cast
members at the Beach Club where we stayed told them about
"hidden mickey" pins. Apparently cast members are the only place
you can get these pins. They are of a wide variety of
attractions and characters and each one has a small silver
hidden mickey. The cast member are required to trade with any
child (up to three pins?) who wants to trade. The hidden mickey
pins became quite fun for them and us to try to find! We came
home with a wide variety of pins which we have placed on small
bulletin boards in their rooms so they can look upon the Disney
magic all year long.

one of WDW's favorite roller coasters in the dark =
Mission: SPACE Mountain (Mission:SPACE + Space Mountain)
