Plans That Turn Up The Romance

Over Off to Neverland Travel’s® five year history, our Magic Makers® have become known for planning some amazingly whimsical vacations. From first to fiftieth visit, birthday to graduation, our Magic Makers® love working with you to make each and every trip your “DreamDSCF0067e get to plan something special for Lovebirds as the romantic side of Disney Destinations is something that often gets overlooked. In honor of Valentine’s Day, we asked our Magic Makers® to share with us some of their past plans and suggestions they’ve given clients looking for romance on their getaways.

Dinner for two at one of  Walt Disney World® Resort’s restaurants may be the easiest way to add romance into your trip. Magic Maker® Katie Simmons suggests selecting a restaurant with a view and then timing your dinner around that night’s showing of Wishes or IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth. While Narcoossee’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is her favorite, many other restaurants overlooking the Seven Seas and World Showcase Lagoons are available. And for dessert, Magic Maker® Courtney Agnello suggests you call ahead and place a special preorder – maybe even the flavor of your wedding cake to celebrate your anniversary!

The fun doesn’t have to stop with dinner! Magic Maker® Allie Willits often directs those looking for a “night on the town” to Jellyrolls, a lively dueling piano bar on Disney’s Boardwalk.  Downtown Disney® Pleasure Island and West Side also offer a variety of nightlife with live performers nightly. Your children can have a “night out” too in one of the Children’s Activity Centers located at select Resort hotels!

Booking a specialty fireworks cruise is at the top of the list of romantic suggestions for Magic Maker® Courtney Harris. Cruises are available most nights for both Wishes and IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth. For a different perspective of  Wishes, try watching it from a hammock on the beach at Disney’s Polynesian Resort – complete with soundtrack! Or for a quieter evening, Magic Maker® Heather Straight recommends a horse-drawn carriage ride at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside or Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.

No vacation is complete without a souvenir, but Magic Maker® Sharon Rosenlieb has a tip for a keepsake much more memorable. She suggests a stop at one of the Wyland Galleries. With locations at Disney’s Boardwalk and Disney’s Polynesian Resort, they offer a great selection of custom made jewelry.

Last but not least, as home to some of the world’s most famous romances: Cinderella and Prince Charming, Lady and the Tramp, and even Beauty and the Beast – we would be remiss to not mention engagements! Magic Maker® Marcie Munoz shares of a magical proposal at the Walt Disney World® Resort. A character artists in Magic Kingdom® Park was asked in advance to draw a portrait of the couple, but the soon-to-be fiancee was shocked when the completed portrait was revealed and he was on his knee proposing. Just as illustrated, he proposed and she said YES!

Our list could go on and on as the possibilities are nearly endless! Whether you choose a moonlit stroll, a luxurious spa treatment, or  an intimate dinner at your next Disney Destination, our Magic Makers®  can make any day feel like Valentine’s Day!
