Love is in the air in the Disney Parks. As part of Limited Time Magic, this weeklong (February 11-17) Valentine celebration is filled with events for couples, friends and families. Here are some of the magical events taking place at the Walt Disney World Resort.
•Blushing Castle: At dusk, hues of pink, red, lavender and blue bathe Cinderella Castle with themed lighting synced to musical melodies adding to the ambiance.
•Dinners for Two: Candlelit dinners for two with prix fixe menus at select restaurants during the most romantic week of the year. Specially created menus at Artist Point (Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort); The Wave of American Flavors (Disney’s Contemporary Resort); Hollywood Brown Derby (Disney’s Hollywood Studios); and Yachtsman Steakhouse (Disney’s Yacht Club Resort) make an ideal setting for a romantic evening. To book visit Disneyworld.com or call 407/WDW-DINE.
•Valentine’s-themed Takeaways: Limited-edition pins, plushes, newly-designed apparel and Vinylmation available at select merchandise locations.
•Romantic Setting: Guests will feel the romance at every turn, as banners proclaiming True Love, heart-shaped signage and sweetheart-themed décor adorn Magic Kingdom Park.
•Royal Gathering: The rare opportunity to get a photo with Disney Princes as they escort their Princesses to enchanting character greeting locations.
One thing I really enjoy during special events and holidays at the Walt Disney Resort is the prix fixe menus. This is a great way to experience Disney’s unique cuisine with specialty changes. I know for most of us who travel to the resort frequently we have our favorite spots, but this is a fun treat. Artist Point, Hollywood Brown Derby, Shutters, The Wave and Yachtsman Steakhouse have some great menus prepared and you can view them here.
