Orlando Romance Travel Tips

  • The kid factor in Orlando peaks during school holidays, summer, Christmas, and around spring break. But arrive mid-September through mid-December (except Thanksgiving) and you'll enjoy cooler weather, shorter lines, and fewer kids. Mid-April through mid-May and most of January are other periods when the moppets are preoccupied elsewhere.
  • For the full Cinderella treatment, consider tying the knot in Walt Disney World. This is big business—1,600 couples exchange vows at the resort annually, though the customized Disney wedding package doesn't come cheap. But where else can you be delivered to your ceremony in Cinderella's horse-drawn coach and have Mickey and Minnie greet guests at the reception? There are dozens of potential locations for a celebration, led by Disney's Wedding Pavilion on the shores of Seven Seas Lagoon, an elegant venue with a perfectly framed view of Cinderella Castle in the background.
  • Disney's best dining is outside of its theme parks, usually in the resorts and often aimed at adults, not families. Victoria & Albert's at the Grand Floridian, Jiko at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, Artist Point at the Wilderness Lodge, and California Grill at the Contemporary Resort are among the sophisticated culinary stars of "The World."

Romance Overview: Orlando

A romantic vacation centered on amusement rides and beloved childhood characters? The kid at heart comes out to play in Orlando. And whether a lover's sojourn in the middle of the theme-park capital of the world is your long-held fantasy or a guilty pleasure, you're not the first to consider it: Thousands of couples vacation in Orlando every year—without kids in tow. And why not? The Orlando vacation goes well beyond theme parks, with 176 golf courses within a 45-minute drive of downtown, warm and sunny weather virtually year-round, and a solid array of quality resorts.Read More
