I love watching the fireworks from the beach at the Poly. When we moved from Orlando to Charlotte we spent our last day park hopping (freezing our butts off!) and my coworker (that I hear so many people talk about on the restaurant board, David from CRT) suggested that to end the night. It was so great we do it everytime we go down now!

Great Ideas!! Thanks so much for adding to the list.

I'm bumping this up, because I'm positive others out there can add more wonderful spots we may never have thought of!

Old married lady here. Our sizzling spot is the huge jacuzzi tub in the 1 BR units at OKW. The balcony is nice, too! Diana

On our last trip in October, the last night we were in our 1br at BWV with a spectacular Boardwalk view, we sat on our balcony and got a bottle of wine and watched Illuminations

**Sitting on the balcony of our room (GF, Sago Cay, #5245) watching the castle change color.

**As DH & I entered the main lobby of the GF on our way to V & A to celebrate our 13th anniversary, the minute we turned the corner, the pianist began playing "Once upon a Dream" from Sleeping Beauty - my absolute favorite song. Just magical!

I WANNA GO BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well the first night of our honeymoon in September we ate dinner at 1900 Park Fare. Afterwards we went to sit out on the beach and watch the Electrical Water Pagent. Imagine the whole beach to ourselves cuddling up in one of those cool beach chairs and having our own private performance of the EWP! Very romantic way to start the honeymoon!!

...the benches on the backside of Cinderella's castle on the way to tomorrowland...where we got engaged!!
the fireplaces in the lobbies of WL and AKL were romantic too!
We've also made lunch at Cinderella's castle our last meal of our trip our new tradition; seats by the windows are lovely too...especially when there are no screaming kids nearby!! I find that romantic!

I'm loving this thread!


Anybody have any Magic Kingdom suggestions for December nights? Gonna get a Fairy Godmommy to watch the little ones one night...

Having your own car, with no one else in the entire section of cars on the TTC can be romantic too! We enjoyed this several times during our last E-night! With it's lack of overall popularity, it isn't too hard of a feat to pull of later in the day either.

this is just the kind of info I was looking for, thanks so much for compiling it all in one place!

One of our favorites.

The "secret path" between Toontown and Tomorrowland. Makes for a nice little romantic stroll. Hardly anyone uses it.

Thanks Bweagle for the info! I too have been looking for just this type of info. My DH & I will be going down in May to celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary & I can't wait to try some of your suggestions. This will be our first trip w/o the kids & I am so looking foward to it! (Sounds terrible, I know!) I just wish we were going to be there for more than 4 days. So much romance, so little time! Thanks again! Kathy
