Have you somehow been able to arrange for a theme park date night? I’ve got some recommendations for Disney and Universal to make your date night magical!
Date nights can be really tough to manage. But when the opportunity actually does present itself, the urge to choose something simple, easy, and not too time consuming is strong.
Why go to Disney or Universal for date night?
Date night at the theme parks are wonderful and it’s a great opportunity for couples to reconnect.
And believe it or not, date night at the theme parks can be pretty simple.
Most of our date-nights to the theme parks, when we actually have a date night to enjoy, are usually last minute decisions. But I noticed our evenings have a few things in common that make it easy for us to enjoy some magic at Disney and Universal for date night.
Disney and Universal are super-cool settings for your date night. You have magical locations like Cinderella Castle or the immersive streets of Diagon Alley. The parks create the perfect romantic backdrop for a date night.
It’s great to share fun moments together! These places are magical, nostalgic, and super fun.
Tips for stress-free date night!
To keep your date night stress-free, book preferred theme park dinner reservations well in advance. I’ve never not been able to find somewhere to eat without reservations, but if you have a specific location in mind, grab a reservation to ensure you don’t have to juggle a change of plans on date night.
- Is the last picture the two of you have together the one that was taken at your wedding?! Take advantage of photo ops at iconic spots (Cinderella Castle, Hogwarts, etc.).
- Opt for park-hopping tickets if you want to use date-night to take advantage of as many theme park attractions as possible.
- Pack lightly. This is date-night. You don’t have to pack all-the-things for the kids so just bring what YOU need.
SUPER IMPORTANT!!! Slow down and connect.
Instead of packing your date night with as many rides, dining and activities as possible, focus on enjoying a few key experiences together. Whether it’s savoring a leisurely meal, taking a romantic stroll, or watching a nighttime spectacular, these intentional moments will create more meaningful memories than rushing from one attraction to the next.
