The best places in Orlando to get engaged

Now, hear us out. You’re probably thinking getting down on one knee in front of Cinderella’s Castle is a bit of a cliché. And whilst there are a lot of proposals that do take place here, that doesn’t mean your big moment will be any less special. 

There’s something magical about this grand spot on Main Street, U.S.A in Disney’s Magic Kingdom. The stunning castle makes for a picture-perfect backdrop, so time it well and get someone to record the moment. Get ready for the round of applause from the surrounding crowd, too. 

Well, what’s more magical than a Disney proposal?

If you’re after an over-dinner proposal, we say look no further than Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.

It’s an upscale fine dining restaurant boasting floral Victorian-style murals and a menu to die for. Picture it: You’ll dine on course after course of exquisite culinary creations and then, just before dessert, a bottle of champagne will arrive ready for you to propose at your intimate candle-lit table.

Victoria & Albert’s is the absolute crown jewel of Disney dining experiences, and your big proposal plans will make the night even more special.
 

One of the best, most romantic places in Orlando to propose is SeaWorld’s Discovery Cove. This is a unique water-based resort designed to immerse you in its tropical paradise-like environment. You’ll swim with dolphins, relax in warm lagoons, float along tropical rivers, and experience exciting animal encounters.

For your special proposal, we recommend booking a VIP cabana. Here you’ll benefit from extra privacy and a dedicated VIP cabana host will wait in the wings for whenever you need them. 

Better still, Discovery Cove is an all-inclusive resort so everything you eat and drink comes included in the price!
 

The list of the most romantic places in Orlando to propose wouldn’t be complete without mentioning a hot air balloon ride. It will be a magical and memorable experience you’ll both enjoy - just as long as your partner isn’t scared of heights!

It’s probably best for adrenaline junkies since you’ll be floating up to around 1,000 feet in the air overlooking spectacular views of Orlando down below – you’ll see orange groves, swamps, and the famous Walt Disney World parks. You can even opt for a package that includes raising a toast with a bottle of bubbly when you reach the top.
 

Another fantastic option is Disney’s BoardWalk. We think this area is one of the most picturesque spots in the whole of Walt Disney World, so make sure you snap a few photos to remember the moment. 

The charming promenade overlooks the surrounding lake waters and is lined with a variety of restaurants, street vendors, and unique boutiques. So, take a stroll at sunset and choose the perfect moment when it feels right to you. And after they’ve said yes, head to Jellyrolls nightclub to celebrate and dance the night away to the jazz and piano music.

Resort staff at The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes know exactly how to treat you like royalty. They’ll do everything they can to make your stay extra-special – hey, they’ll even bring you a champagne breakfast in bed, perfect for a romantic morning proposal. 

The resort’s in-room dining options means you can order a hot breakfast of delicious meats or a lighter continental breakfast. And when the moment’s right, pop the question whilst lazily lounging in bed with no desire to leave the room just yet. A stay here is also one of our favourite luxury experiences in Orlando. 

Yes of course, especially if you are a couple of theme park fanatics. Although some folks think it’s a little cheesy to propose in a Disney theme park, we’re firm believers that The Magic Kingdom is actually one of the most romantic places in Orlando to propose. It’s all down to personal preference. 

Resort staff will be more than happy to help with whatever you need – whether it’s getting you the best table at one of their restaurants or bringing a bottle of champagne over just at the right time.

If it’s a spontaneous proposal you simply can’t wait for, rest assured there are many different places to find engagement rings in Orlando. We recommend Karadema Jewelers, family-owned jewellers with a gorgeous selection of engagement rings you can customise – choose your diamond, metal type, and more.

As you can see, there are plenty of romantic places in Orlando to propose. Where you choose all depends on what you envision for your special once-in-a-lifetime moment.
