The Magic of a Disney World Honeymoon

A honeymoon is more than just a trip—it’s the first chapter in a couple’s magical love story after saying “I do.” For those who dream of romance wrapped in a touch of pixie dust, a Disney World honeymoon offers an experience unlike any other. Imagine strolling hand-in-hand down Main Street, U.S.A., giddy with excitement about your first adventure as newlyweds. My husband and I celebrated our honeymoon at Walt Disney World, and it truly felt like a dream come true. That’s why I now specialize in helping couples plan their own romantic Disney getaways, blending my personal experience with professional expertise to create tailor-made honeymoons.

Romantic Disney Resorts for Newlyweds

We stayed at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter for six days and five nights, and it could not have been more perfect. The cobblestone pathways, gas lamps, and jazz-inspired charm made it feel like we had stepped into a quiet, romantic hideaway in New Orleans—while still being just a short boat ride away from Disney Springs. It was the perfect balance of peaceful and convenient. Other top honeymoon resorts include the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa with its timeless elegance, or the Polynesian Village Resort, where tropical beauty meets luxury. Each offers a different kind of romance, and I love helping couples match their resort to their unique style.

Park Hopping and PhotoPass Memories

One of the best parts of our honeymoon was adding Park Hopper passes, which gave us the freedom to explore multiple parks in a single day. We balanced thrills, nostalgia, and downtime by taking midday breaks at the resort before returning for fireworks and late-night rides. Adding the Memory Maker PhotoPass was another decision I highly recommend—Disney photographers captured candid smiles and castle photos that we’ll treasure forever.

At Animal Kingdom, we loved spending time in Pandora beneath the floating mountains. If you’re looking to maximize your time here, don’t miss our blog Making The Most Of A Full Day At Disney’s Animal Kingdom for insider tips.

Unforgettable Dining Experiences for Couples

Dining was another highlight thanks to the Disney Dining Plan. From classic quick-service stops to unforgettable sit-down meals, dining together felt magical in every setting. Some of my favorite romantic dining experiences include:

  • California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, where the panoramic view of Magic Kingdom fireworks sets the scene for romance.

  • Be Our Guest Restaurant, where dining inside the Beast’s Castle feels like stepping into a fairytale.

  • Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant in Hollywood Studios, where we cozied up in a vintage car booth under a starlit screen.

For couples looking to elevate their honeymoon, Disney offers extra-magical touches like fireworks dessert parties, private carriage rides, or a rejuvenating spa day at Senses Spa. These little luxuries transform a fun trip into a truly unforgettable honeymoon.
