Once I had a friend tell me I was “weird” for taking a couple’s vacation with my husband to Disney World. I am OK with weird. What bothered me was she is unaware of the ways you can have adult vacations at Disney World.
First, for any Disney related travel plans, let me encourage you to utilize the service of a travel professional that specializes in Disney Destinations.
Sometimes it’s good to be an adult!
Walt Disney World has a 100% well-earned reputation for the best family based and kid centric vacations. The same high quality customer service and attention to detail that makes it magical for kids, also applies to adult experiences on vacation. Here are some ways you can take adult vacations at Disney World.
Disney can offer adults luxury and relaxation. It can also have laid back beach vibes, and more! Here are some of the best adulting ideas when planning your Vacation!
Luxury and the Mediterranean
When you think of vacation, do you imagine AAA 4 diamond star rated hotels? Resorts included in the top 50 resorts worldwide come to mind? Perhaps you imagine sitting poolside sipping exotic drinks in the Mediterranean.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Hotel and Spa (YES SPA!!) as well as Disney’s Riviera Resort are great options. Skip the theme parks and indulge in rest, relaxation, and fine dining.
Both resorts are in close proximity for easy access to theme parks. An adult based vacation might be the best time to take advantage of Disney After Hours Events. Enjoy one of the parks with fewer wait times at attractions and lower crowd levels by attending a special ticketed event!
Here guests also find shopping, award winning restaurants and spectacular views. The best part? Transportation is provided if you choose to leave the serenity of your accommodations.
Laid Back Florida Keys Style for Adult Vacations at Disney World
Disney World’s Old Key West Resort has a very casual atmosphere with chilled out vibes. It’s similar to hanging on your favorite island and southern most point.
This Disney deluxe resort offers the most spacious accommodations for larger groups (Think girls’ trip!). It’s perfect even for smaller parties that just want to spread out. You can take in the views, lounge in a hammock or dive into amazing seafood and burgers at Olivia’s café on site.
Old Key West is a calm but quick boat ride to Disney Springs. The “Springs” is home to many waterfront restaurants reminiscent of the open-air favorites of beach life. Enjoy specialty drinks and appetizers at Jock Lindsey’s Hanger Bar. Sip on some moonshine at Homecomin’. All the while you listen to live music filling the air. You might just be inspired to dance and sing along.
The North Pacific and beyond
Are you the kind of person who recharges by enjoying the great outdoors? Disney may not come to mind when you imagine the peacefulness of nature. I have great news! The Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness resort will blow your mind! Do you have a tent, a Pop Up or 5th wheel? How about an RV?
Perhaps you want to stay in a cabin with a full kitchen. Maybe you want to enjoy the splendor of natural beauty from the window of a Disney moderate level room. The cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort are a great option for an adult vacation.
Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campsite and Resort and Disney’s Wilderness Lodge are breathtaking. The resort areas are sheltered by a canopy of cypress trees. Walking trails are plentiful for the explorer in your heart. Do you want to learn archery, go horseback riding or fishing? This is the place for you!
A Trip Around the World During Adult Vacations at Disney World
Epcot is a celebration of different cultures. It gives guests the luxury of traveling the globe. You can sample the history, food, and drinks of 11 different countries during any of the 4 annual Epcot festivals.
Do you get excited about tasting new and exotic dishes? You can meet and speak to people who would love to share their culture with you. Epcot is your place to be.
African Adventure for Adult Vacations at Disney World
Imagine waking up in the morning and having a giraffe outside your window? Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, made up of 2 hotels (Jambo house and Kidani village), sits among 4 amazing African savannahs. It is inviting to guests who want sleep, eat, and play around the beautiful creatures found on safari.
One of the most exclusive experiences at the resort is taking a tour through the savannahs either during the day and at twilight when many animals are most active.
The Jambo House Lobby is a destination in and of itself! Take in the traditional African artifacts, artwork and designs that surrounds you. Enjoy gazing out through a wall of windows at the animals on the savannah.
Animal Kingdom lodge is home to Jiko-The cooking place. This restaurant is one of the best in Disney World! Guests can sample traditional African dishes in an atmosphere that is visually spectacular. Like wine tasting?? Try it here…WOW!
