Dinner at Victoria and Alberts is so Romantic! but its expensive... dinner for two and two glasses of wine came out to about $350 with tip... but that was on christmas eve, it may be cheaper on other days.

Hey Tinkerbelle8956,

Cute thread you started

My fiance and I like to go to Downtown Disney to walk around, and then take the boat from Downtown Disney to Port Orleans hotel. It's a very scenic ride. I don't know--it's free, it's simple, and it's pleasant And then when you get there, just take a boatride back.

We also love to walk around Magic Kingdom and EPCOT at night, without the sole intention of going on the rides. So for an easygoing romantic activity, that is also low-cost (well, AFTER the price of admission ), I would highly recommend a romantic stroll at MK or at EPCOT at night. Stop at one of the little food stands and get cotton candy to share, or funnel cake, or something. Then get a picture taken of the two of you by a Disney Photopass person to remember the evening.

It's just so beautiful at night--walking on Main Street, and walking through Adventureland and Frontierland; and then at EPCOT, walking through the World Showcase. The lighting is very romantic. I think it's easy for people to forget how lovely the parks are for just walking around, as opposed to just spending your whole night in lines trying to get on the rides.

If you're looking for a romantic outing that's food-centric, there's also High Tea at the Grand Floridian, which is wonderful. It's a way to experience a traditional English afternoon tea in a gorgeous setting. You book it through Disney's Dining ahead of time, in order to make reservations. It's at Grand floridian's Garden View Lounge, and they have different food and tea packages for various prices (anywhere from like $12 to about $30 per person), and it's stuff like really interesting tea selections, wine, finger sandwiches, pastries, etc. It's all served on beautiful Royal Doulton china, and it just takes you back to a very different time (a time that probably neither you nor I ever experienced, but can nevertheless appreciate ). They do it every afternoon there from 2 to 4 or 4:30. So it's a romantic afternoon date, which I think kinda makes it more fun, memorable and different from a typical evening dinner date.

Well, hopefully our idea of fun isn't too boring or old-fashioned for ya

Have a lovely and romantic time at the World.

Go sit on the beach at the Poly and watch the fireworks in one of the little cabana chairs...even though there are others around the chair gives you a little privacy and the fireworks are so pretty...and the kicker is it's all free!!

I have to agree with GlobalDiva! Although everything that everyone has suggested is beautiful & incredibly romantic, our favorite is the Garden View Lounge Tea. It's truly not stuffy at all, and DF loves it - I think it's one of the things we look forward to the most! It really creates a mood for a romantic stroll around GF or someplace else you'd like to walk hand-in-hand.

Something else that's kind'a "grown-up" is the Segway tour at Epcot. Even tho you spend a lot of time as a group, once you get into WorldShowcase, you can sort of hang back from the group a little bit. It's a really nice way to take your time thru the countries and get to see things that you might miss when there are regular "open-hours" crowds. DF & I always find something new that we hadn't noticed before - then when we go back into Epcot later in the trip, it's fun to find that special "something" from the tour.

Have fun planning!
