Therefore, the writers at Unofficial Florida Disney thought we should highlight a few ideas about where and what you can do to entertain your sweetheart ....
Disneyworld, Disneyland and Disney themed gifts can be romantic at any time of year, however, have you ever thought of taking the one you love out for a day trip followed by a really special lunch or extremely romantic dinner, with a fairytale backdrop and a setting of red roses???
Depending on just how romantic you want to be, the guys at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando Florida and Disneyland Paris (for UK residents looking for a cosy weekend in Paris) can organise just about anything to make your evening truly memorable; from flowers, organised by the Walt Disney Florist all the way to popping the big question with the help of Disney's Magical Proposal Packages at Cinderella's Royal Table.
Our writers have put themselves into a romantic mood and have come up with the following ideas for these special occasions, graded accordingly -
WALT DISNEY WORLD ORLANDO FLORIDA:

2. Other dining ideas
3. Romantic experiences and gift ideas
1. An extremely super romantic proposal: Disney's Magical Proposal Packages at Cinderella's Royal Table
Go all the way and make this night a night you'll talk about for years to come and book a table at Cinderella's Royal Table in the Magic Kingdom, reputed to be Disney World's finest restaurant (only the best will do!). Here you can enjoy an all inclusive set dinner in the splendour of a fantasy castle, what's more there are always photographers close by that can capture the celebration.
The organisation is impeccable and can be arranged to finest detail: notable features include a specially crafted Chocolate Slipper Dessert, which is a Glass Slipper that has been beautifully engraved in which the ring is presented. There are, of course, elegant flutes of champagne and you can tailor your evening as you like it - hiring singers, flowers (see the Florist, below) and watching the fireworks. You should take a look at the list below and may want to incorporate these other ideas too!!
Note that the Magical Proposal Package requires 7 days advance notice: Call 407-824-4477 or email
