5 Ways to Make Your Walt Disney World Honeymoon Extra Special

Once upon a time, Walt Disney World in Florida wasn’t seen as a traditional honeymoon destination, but that’s definitely changed! These days, a "Disneymoon" is the perfect way for Disney-loving couples to start their happily ever after.

Of course, a honeymoon is a special kind of holiday where you make a conscious effort to do things a little differently from a regular holiday. With magical moments, luxurious touches, and unforgettable experiences, Disney is the dream setting for celebrating love. And while every Disney trip is special, your Disney honeymoon deserves just a little extra pixie dust. Just let us know when you're booking your Walt Disney World honeymoon with Fairytale Holidays!

1. Stay at a Deluxe Disney Resort for your Walt Disney World Honeymoon

If there's ever a time to treat yourselves, your Disney honeymoon is it! Disney’s Deluxe Resorts offer the perfect blend of luxury, immersive theming, and exceptional service. Here are three magical options we love for Disneymooners:

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge

Wake up to giraffes and zebras grazing outside your balcony in a Savanna View Room, an experience like no other. The lodge's rich African theming, ambient lighting, and stunning art make it feel like you're worlds away from the theme parks.

Throughout the resort, you’ll also find cosy nooks, fire pits, and African art that make every corner feel like part of a once-in-a-lifetime journey. For honeymooners who want a more tranquil and culturally rich experience, with all the perks of a Disney resort, Animal Kingdom Lodge is a truly magical choice.

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

For classic elegance and timeless romance, the Grand Floridian is hard to beat. This flagship resort combines Victorian charm with modern luxury and offers stunning views of the Seven Seas Lagoon. Honeymooners may want to consider a Club-Level Room for added pampering or a Theme Park View Room for a front-row seat to the nightly fireworks.

After a day in the parks, unwind with cocktails at the Enchanted Rose Lounge, inspired by Beauty and the Beast. With its sophisticated décor, signature drinks, and relaxed atmosphere, it’s the perfect spot for a romantic evening together.

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

This tropical paradise is perfect for couples who want to unwind in a relaxed, island-inspired setting. Located just across the lagoon from Magic Kingdom, the Polynesian combines laid-back luxury with unforgettable Disney touches.

For a little extra magic, consider a Water View Room in the Hawaii longhouse, which offers stunning views across the water and Club Level service for added comfort and convenience.

In the evenings, head to Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto, a lively tiki-style bar filled with playful effects and themed cocktails—it’s part bar, part immersive Disney experience. Prefer a more relaxed vibe? Enjoy drinks on the Tiki Terrace patio, where you can sip tropical concoctions in the warm evening air.

One of the most romantic ways to end your day? Walk hand in hand to the resort’s white-sand beach and watch the fireworks reflect across the lagoon. With castle views and music piped in, it’s a beautiful moment to share together.

2. Enjoy a Unique Alcohol Experience

For couples looking to indulge in something beyond the usual drink at a bar, Walt Disney World offers a variety of unique alcohol experiences that are perfect for a honeymoon celebration. These experiences combine education, entertainment, and, of course, excellent drinks!

Sangria University at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort

With a relaxed pace, beautiful surroundings, and expert guides, this is one of the most romantic and exclusive experiences Walt Disney World offers—perfect for honeymooners who love wildlife and fine dining.

The Edison at Disney Springs

Step into a glamorous, 1920s-inspired speakeasy at The Edison in Disney Springs. This unique venue offers speciality cocktails, live music, and an elegant atmosphere for couples looking to enjoy a more sophisticated night out. The cocktails are expertly crafted, and the vintage setting—complete with chandeliers, velvet seating, and art deco design—makes it feel like you’ve stepped back in time. It’s a fabulous choice for couples who want to enjoy a drink while surrounded by an atmosphere of old-world charm.

3. Set Sail on a Private Magic Kingdom Fireworks Cruise

If you're looking for a show-stopping way to celebrate your honeymoon, a private evening fireworks cruise is one of the most romantic experiences Walt Disney World has to offer.

You and your partner will board a private pontoon boat, complete with your very own Captain, soft drinks, snacks, and cosy blankets. You can even ask for the boat to be decorated with a "Just Married" theme, perfect for that special occasion touch. From the comfort of your boat, you'll sail the Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake, taking in the sparkling sights of the resorts as you glide across the water.

The highlight, of course, is watching the fireworks show from the water, with synchronised audio piped directly into your boat. Without the crowds or noise, you’ll get a peaceful, panoramic view of the show with Cinderella Castle glittering in the distance—just the two of you (and maybe your favourite drink in hand!).

4. Dine at a Signature Disney Restaurant

Your honeymoon deserves something truly extraordinary, and Walt Disney World’s signature dining experiences deliver unforgettable meals in the most romantic settings. Let them know you’re celebrating, and you might even get a little extra magic at your table!

5. Capture Your Moment – Professional Photoshoot at Your Disney Resort or Park

What better way to preserve the memories of your Disney honeymoon than with a professional Capture Your Moment photoshoot at your Disney resort or one of the iconic parks? Whether you’re looking for a romantic setting on the shores of the Polynesian Village Resort's beach, surrounded by the lush surroundings of Animal Kingdom Lodge, or at the heart of the Magic Kingdom, Disney’s photographers will capture your special moments in stunning detail.

The Capture Your Moment experience gives you up to 20 minutes of personalised photo time, with professional photographers who know the best spots for breathtaking shots.

These beautifully captured moments become cherished memories you can relive for years to come. And whether it’s an intimate photo in front of your resort or a fun shot in front of Cinderella Castle, it’s the perfect way to commemorate your special day.

Bonus Tips to make your Disney Honeymoon extra special

Sometimes it's the little touches that make your Disney honeymoon feel extra special. Here are a few bonus ideas to help you add more magic to your romantic getaway:

Pick Up a Celebration Pin

When you check in to your Disney resort or visit Guest Relations at any park, be sure to ask for a “Just Married” or “Happily Ever After” celebration badge. Cast Members often go out of their way to add a little extra magic when they see you're celebrating—think sweet surprises, a bit of extra pixie dust, and lots of smiles and well wishes.

Note Your Celebration on Dining & Resort Bookings

Be sure to mention that you’re celebrating your honeymoon on all your dining reservations and hotel booking. While it’s never guaranteed, Disney Cast Members love to add special touches for honeymooners—anything from Mickey confetti on the table to a surprise dessert.

Add a Touch of Disney to Your Outfits

If you're up for it, why not coordinate a few Disney-inspired outfits or wear matching t-shirts or ears? Many honeymooning couples love wearing Bride & Groom, Just Married, or Happily Ever After ears, they make for cute photos and tend to spark fun interactions with Cast Members and other guests.

Set Up a Honeymoon Gift Registry

Fairytale Holidays (as part of Travel Counsellors) offers a Honeymoon Gift Registry, a simple and meaningful way for your friends and family to contribute to your dream Disney honeymoon.

Instead of traditional wedding presents, guests can gift money towards magical experiences like dining, tours, or even your resort stay. You'll get a personalised webpage with your photo and message to share with guests, and the funds go directly toward making your Disney honeymoon unforgettable.
