If you’re a Disney-loving couple, it’s only natural to include a touch of Disney magic in your wedding celebrations. While some couples opt for Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings, others find creative ways to incorporate Disney into their lives—like spending their honeymoon at Walt Disney World. Known as a Disneymoon, this magical getaway is the perfect way to kick off married life and start meaningful traditions that can last for years.
Whether this is your first visit as a couple or a return trip, your honeymoon is the perfect time to create new traditions and memories that will grow with your relationship.
Here are some wonderful ideas for starting traditions on your Disneymoon that will keep the magic alive for years to come.
1. Claim a Photo Spot for Every Trip
Does your relationship have a special location in Walt Disney World—like where you got engaged or shared your first kiss? If so, make it your official photo spot! Every time you return, snap a picture in the same location. Over the years, this spot will become a cherished part of your love story.
Popular photo spots include:
- Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
- Spaceship Earth in EPCOT
- The Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom
- Hollywood Tower Hotel in Hollywood Studios
Your photo tradition can grow with your family too. Whether it’s just the two of you or you eventually bring children along, these photos will capture the evolution of your Disney journey together.
2. Create a Dining Tradition
With so many incredible dining options at Walt Disney World, it’s easy to build culinary traditions that become part of your Disney story. Make it a point to dine at the same favorite restaurant every trip—whether it’s California Grill with its breathtaking fireworks view or a fun dinner at ‘Ohana.
Another fun idea is to schedule a signature dining experience for each trip, turning date night into a meaningful tradition. Dress up, enjoy a sophisticated meal, and take time to reflect on the journey you’ve been on together.
If you love meeting characters but want to avoid lines in the parks, character dining is a great tradition to start. Book a meal where Mickey, Minnie, or your favorite Disney friends join in on the fun—like Chef Mickey’s or Topolino’s Terrace—and make character meals a joyful part of every visit.
3. Collect Dated Christmas Ornaments
One of the easiest ways to bring the magic of Disney into your everyday life is by purchasing a dated Christmas ornament during each trip. Every holiday season, you’ll have a chance to revisit those memories as you decorate your tree together.
Disney ornaments come in a variety of styles, from characters to attractions, so you can choose something that reflects your favorite memories from that trip. We recommend having the ornament personalized at Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe in Magic Kingdom or Mickey’s Days of Christmas in Disney Springs. Over the years, your collection will become a meaningful reminder of the adventures you’ve shared.
4. Send a Postcard to Yourselves
Here’s a unique tradition to keep the magic alive: Send yourselves a postcard during each Disney trip! Pick out a postcard that captures the spirit of your stay—whether it’s from a Disney Resort, a park attraction, or featuring your favorite characters.
Before sending it, write down your favorite memories from the trip or have Disney characters sign it for an extra special touch. Mailing the postcard to yourselves helps extend the Disney magic—it’ll arrive at your home just as you settle back into regular life, bringing a smile to your face.
This tradition can also extend beyond Walt Disney World. Send yourselves postcards from Disney Cruise Line, Castaway Cay, or other Disney Parks worldwide, and you’ll create a fun collection of travel memories.
5. Experience Something New Each Visit
There’s always something new to experience at Walt Disney World, which makes it the perfect place to set a tradition of trying new things together. Whether it’s riding a new attraction, staying at a different resort, or dining at a restaurant you’ve never tried, each visit offers endless possibilities.
Ideas for new experiences include:
- Staying at a new Disney Resort (like Disney’s Riviera Resort or Animal Kingdom Lodge)
- Dining at a different restaurant you’ve never visited before
- Watching a new nighttime spectacular
- Exploring EPCOT festivals such as the Flower & Garden Festival or the Festival of the Arts
This tradition ensures that your trips always feel fresh and exciting, with new memories added to the ones you already cherish.
6. Plan a Romantic Evening at Disney’s BoardWalk
For a romantic night out, spend time on Disney’s BoardWalk, where you’ll find charming restaurants, entertainment, and gorgeous views. One idea is to have dinner at Flying Fish or grab drinks at AbracadaBar, then end the evening with live music at Jellyrolls, the dueling piano bar.
BoardWalk strolls make for a perfect evening, and with Disney Skyliner access, it’s easy to return to your resort at the end of the night. If your honeymoon falls during EPCOT’s fireworks, consider grabbing a spot along the water to enjoy the show.
7. Relax at a Disney Spa or Book a Private Fireworks Cruise
Take your Disneymoon to the next level with a spa day at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort or Saratoga Springs Resort. Disney spas offer couples’ treatments, such as massages, facials, and relaxation lounges, perfect for unwinding after a day in the parks.
If you want something even more special, book a private fireworks cruise and watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the water. These cruises offer a unique, romantic view of the show without the crowds—making it a memorable way to celebrate your honeymoon.
Final Thoughts
A Disney honeymoon is the perfect opportunity to start traditions that will become a meaningful part of your relationship. Whether it’s snapping photos at the same spot, dining with characters, or sending postcards home, these traditions ensure that Disney magic will stay with you throughout your life together.
No matter which traditions you decide to start, they’ll make each future trip even more special. Your Disneymoon isn’t just the beginning of your marriage—it’s the start of years of adventures at Walt Disney World. So, plan ahead, embrace the magic, and make memories that will last a lifetime.
