Bonus: Where to enjoy a romantic dinner for two at Disney World
Without a candlelit dinner or two, no romantic holiday in Disney World for couples would be complete! So here are places you could enjoy dinner for two in Disney World:
- The California Grill at the top of Disney’s Contemporary Resort has the most fantastic panoramic view of the Magic Kingdom. There, you can have a romantic dinner for two at Disney World while you’re watching the fireworks. To add to the romantic atmosphere, the restaurant’s lights are dimmed and beautiful music is playing in the background.
However, it’s not just the beautiful view you can enjoy during dinner that makes this restaurant our top recommendation at Disney World for couples. The food served at the California Grill is to die for! Forget any article you may have read about Disney World having sub-standard food. Those people have probably never tried the California Grill yet. After all, even locals come to dine here and that says a lot. - The Victoria & Albert at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is the only Disney World restaurant with a dress code, so it’s an excellent excuse to put on your fancy clothes. This elegant and intimate restaurant is the perfect spot to enjoy dinner for two at Disney World. And, even though it’s more expensive, this restaurant serves award-winning food and it has impeccable service.
I hope these suggestions will inspire you to experience some of Disney World for couples!
