Which Disney Honeymoon Is Right for You?
When you hear the words Disney honeymoon, what comes to mind?
For some couples, it's strolling down Main Street, U.S.A. with a Mickey-shaped treat in hand. For others, it's sipping a tropical drink on a white-sand beach in Hawai’i, or watching glaciers drift by from the deck of a cruise ship.
The truth is, there isn't just one Disney honeymoon. Disney offers several incredible destinations, each with its own unique style, making it easy to find one that matches the way you love to travel.
Here's a look at four unforgettable ways to celebrate your happily ever after.
For the Couple Who Loves Magic, Dining & Entertainment: Walt Disney World
If your ideal honeymoon includes incredible restaurants, luxurious resorts, and unforgettable entertainment, Walt Disney World may be exactly what you're looking for.
While the parks are certainly magical, many honeymooners spend just as much time enjoying resort pools, relaxing spa treatments, rooftop lounges, signature dining experiences, and nighttime fireworks seen right from your resort. Whether you're celebrating with a champagne toast at California Grill at the top of the Contemporary Resort or taking a leisurely stroll around World Showcase at EPCOT, there's no shortage of romantic moments.
Perfect for couples who love:
Exceptional dining - Disney World even has a Michelin Star restaurant, Victoria & Albert’s at the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.
Luxury resorts - The majority of Disney World’s resorts are in the Deluxe and Deluxe Villa categories with a wide variety of immersive, lush themes.
Entertainment and nightlife - No, Disney isn’t just for kids. You’ll find chic lounges, nighttime shows, and adult-focused extras like Sangria University or Savor the Savanna.
Theme parks with a touch of romance - You’ll be recently married! You’ll find romantic moments throughout the parks just by being together, but add riding a ride like the Magic Carpets during the fireworks adds another level.
For the Couple Who Loves Charm, Nostalgia & California Adventures: Disneyland Resort
If you're looking for a honeymoon that's equal parts romance and relaxation, Disneyland offers a uniquely intimate Disney experience. With just two parks steps apart, it's easy to enjoy the attractions at a leisurely pace while leaving plenty of time for fine dining, cocktails, and exploring Southern California.
Spend your mornings strolling through Sleeping Beauty Castle, indulge in award-winning dining in the Downtown Disney District, and end your evenings watching dazzling nighttime spectaculars. Plus, with beautiful beaches, world-class wineries, Hollywood, and coastal towns all within driving distance, Disneyland makes an excellent centerpiece for a longer California honeymoon.
Many couples choose to pair a few magical days at Disneyland with time in Napa Valley, Laguna Beach, San Diego, or even a scenic drive along the Pacific Coast Highway for the perfect blend of Disney magic and West Coast adventure.
Perfect for couples who love:
A more relaxed Disney experience - With only two parks, Disneyland can feel less intimidating than Disney World.
Combining Disney with a larger West Coast vacation - Anaheim is perfectly placed to allow you to experience other locations in southern California along with Disneyland.
Boutique-style romance - The resort offerings around Disneyland offer a variety of boutique-style hotels that speak to newlyweds.
For the Couple Who Wants Adventure Without the Stress: Disney Cruise Line
Imagine unpacking once while waking up in a new destination almost every day.
Disney Cruise Line offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Spend your mornings lounging by the adults-only pool, afternoons exploring beautiful ports throughout the Bahamas and Caribbean, Europe, Mexico, or even Alaska. Then you’ll spend your evenings enjoying Broadway-style entertainment and exceptional dining. Each ship has adult-only areas and lounges for you to enjoy as well as one or two adult-only specialty dining locations depending on the ship.
Looking for an unforgettable summer honeymoon? Disney Cruise Line sails to breathtaking destinations throughout Alaska and Europe, allowing couples to experience glaciers, charming coastal towns, and iconic cities while enjoying Disney's legendary service.
Best of all, so much is included in your cruise fare from meals and entertainment to youth-free adult spaces designed for relaxation.
Perfect for couples who love:
Stress-free travel - No making dining reservations nightly or buying show tickets. This is all built into your itinerary. You just have to show up.
Ocean views - You’ll be surrounded by the sea. All Disney staterooms except for inside staterooms will give you a view of the ocean.
Multiple destinations - Unpack once but experience multiple locations.
Relaxation with built-in entertainment - Disney cruises are a “choose your own adventure” experience. You have so many offerings including Broadway-style entertainment and spa services. You just have to decide how much you want to do and enjoy.
For the Couple Dreaming of Paradise: Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa
Not every Disney vacation involves a theme park.
Located on the beautiful island of Oahu, Aulani blends the natural beauty of Hawai’i with Disney's world-renowned hospitality.
Spend your honeymoon relaxing on pristine beaches, floating through the lazy river, snorkeling in Rainbow Reef, enjoying a couples massage at Laniwai Spa, or venturing out to experience Hawai’i's breathtaking waterfalls, hiking trails, and local culture.
The Disney magic is subtle here, allowing Hawai’i to take center stage while Disney takes care of every detail behind the scenes.
Perfect for couples who love:
Tropical beaches - This Hawai’ian escape will check every box for anyone who loves a beach getaway.
Relaxation - No pre-made plans? No problem! Relax and enjoy at your own pace.
Hawai’ian culture - Take some time to explore the local culture on-site as well as outside the resort.
Luxury resorts - Aulani is a crown jewel for Disney’s resort offerings.
