Disney World is a wonderful place to celebrate your wedding anniversary, and you can make your trip extra special with some advanced reservations at key locations in the park. Here's how to celebrate your wedding anniversary at Disney World.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Flight reservations to Orlando
• Tickets to Walt Disney World
• Good walking shoes
• Dressy outfits for the evening
• Light jackets for cooler days and nights

1. Let the hotel know you're celebrating your wedding day. Most hotels on Disney property will send you a special gift of flowers or a free dessert during your overnight stay; just let the concierge know about your special occasion and let them handle the details!

2. Book a dining reservation at Jiko--The Cooking Place in the Animal Kingdom Lodge. This is a great spot to enjoy unique African cooking in an attractive setting. The high quality food and service are sure to please you both, and it's a romantic place for lunch or dinner.

3. Book a table at Victoria & Albert's. This fancy restaurant is located at Epcot, and is a popular place for engagement parties and wedding events. Head here for a toast or full-course dinner.

4. Book a cruise at Disney's Boardwalk. Head to the Boardwalk for a taste of the past; you'll be strolling along arcades, and can take a cruise on a boat across the river to enjoy the lights at sunset together.

5. Order a special flower arrangement from a Disney Florist. You can place a special order for delivery at any time during your stay, and can surprise your partner with an exotic arrangement as part of your celebration.

6. Take a pontoon ride for a tour of the park. Book a pontoon ride with a Disney cast member anywhere in the park, and enjoy a tour of the area. The best time to do this is at night when the park lights up with all the attractions; and of course, the fireworks!

7. Purchase unique gifts at Epcot or Downtown Disney. You'll find hundreds of unique boutique items at these two important shopping spots around Disney World. Make your rounds to find the perfect gift for your sweetheart.

8. Indulge in a special couples spa treatment. Head to the Mandara Spa at the World Disney World Dolphin Resort, or the Grand Floridian hotel for a luxury treatment. From couples massages to facials and body treatments, you can both enjoy an afternoon or evening of supreme relaxation.

• You'll need advanced reservations for dining at Walt Disney World restaurants, so plan to make yours at least 90 to 180 days ahead of time.
