Is it possible to have a romantic dinner in Disney World? It's a theme park, so it's just theme park food, right?
While there are definitely options for traditional theme park fare like corn dogs, turkey legs, and more, Disney World offers countless world-class dining options throughout the over 40-square-mile resort. So many restaurants on property are absolutely perfect for a romantic dinner—it’s honestly a challenge to choose just a few for your trip!
To me, dining in Disney is just as much fun as the parks themselves. Most often, I actually plan my trips around the restaurants we'll be visiting while there!
Whether you dine in the parks, Disney Springs, or a resort hotel, Disney World has plenty of options for a romantic night. Just remember that Disney restaurants are incredibly popular, so make sure to grab your reservations as soon as you’re 60 days out from your trip.
Most of these locations accept Disney Gift Cards, and if you've set up a Disney honeymoon registry, don't forget to include meals at these restaurants for your guests to purchase!
Romantic dining in Magic Kingdom is found in being transported to magical castles with uniquely immersive experiences. Here are my top picks:
BE OUR GUEST RESTAURANT
Located inside the Beast’s enchanted castle,
Be Our Guest Restaurant offers three separate dining areas, each with its own unique dining experience.
After entering the castle, you’ll soon step into the Grand Ballroom. The room is spacious and bright, with high ceilings, chandeliers, and large windows overlooking a snowy courtyard. Enjoy dining in this magnificent setting surrounded by elegant furnishings, gold accents, and romantic details, perfect for romantics looking to experience the grandeur of the castle.
The West Wing is a darker, more mysterious section of the restaurant. In this room, you’ll be able to view the Beast’s rose sitting in a glass dome. As the petals drop, you might also see the Beast’s torn portrait transform. The atmosphere here is more intense and dramatic, with occasional lightning and thunder sounds in the background. This room is perfect for couples who want a more immersive and adventurous dining experience.
The third area, the Rose Gallery, is cozy and intimate, with soft lighting and comfortable seating. The room is decorated with artwork of Belle and the Beast, and the center of the room features a large music box topped with the couple dancing on top. This room is smaller, offering a potentially quieter and more relaxed dining experience.
While it isn’t guaranteed that you’ll sit in the room you request, each option offers a uniquely romantic choice in its own way. And even if you aren’t able to dine in the room your request, you are free to tour the castle, view the other rooms, and take photos as you’d like.
The prix-fixe menu offers a three-course meal with a wide variety of French-inspired options including French onion soup, charcuterie plates, escargot, ratatouille, and more. My personal favorite part of the meal is the dessert trio, where you’ll be served an incredible Lemon Jam macaron as well as the film-inspired “Grey Stuff” (yep, it’s delicious!).
If you’ve ever dreamt of stepping inside of Cinderella Castle, this is your chance!
Cinderella’s Royal Table is inside of the castle and overlooks Fantasyland through beautiful stained glass windows. The dining room also features high ceilings, chandeliers, and medieval-style decorations. It's a magical and romantic setting that makes you feel like you've stepped into a fairy tale.
Like Be Our Guest, this is also a prix-fixe, three-course dining experience. This is also a character meal, and several princesses, including Cinderella herself, make appearances throughout.
FIREWORKS DESSERT PARTIES
Who says dessert can't also be dinner in Disney World? While technically not a typical restaurant experience, the
dessert parties at Tomorrowland Terrace offer a unique way to snack and watch the fireworks shows from a prime viewing location—no need to camp out two hours early or worry about your view being blocked.
These parties are an additional cost on top of your park ticket. Serving a variety of all-you-care-to-eat desserts, cheeses, and drinks including beer and wine, this can be a great option if you’re looking for a not-so-typical experience. There are a few options to choose from, but only one allows you to sit and watch the show from dedicated tables rather than standing nearby to watch. Of course, no matter which party you choose, the combination of delicious treats, breathtaking views, and the magical fireworks display makes for an unforgettably romantic evening in the heart of Magic Kingdom.
