Anniversary at WDW

[seagodess]

I am planning a surprise 10 year anniversary trip to WDW in March 2015. It will be the first WDW trip for both DH and me. Other than doing regular park attractions, is there anything special we should do to celebrate our anniversary while there? Neither of us are fans of fancy restaurants, so that is out.

I am having a cake delivered to our room as a surprise - it's a mini wedding cake & they are very cute.

Sitting on the Polly beach watching the fireworks is romantic. Ohana is not a fancy place to eat and would be nice before the fireworks. The wishes desert party is not fancy and might be enjoyable to you (over priced and not a great view IMHO though). Horse back riding might be fun as well. Mini golfing is always a good date type thing. Staying at the AKL and being on a balcony overlooking the animals is amazing. cirque du soleil has a show at DTD and is really spectacular. House of Blues is right next door and a good place to see some music. There is also bowling at Splitsville too. The Boardwalk has a dueling piano bar that is fun.

What are you looking for? Just something different and fun, or romantic?

We went for our 10th. Some of the special things we did (excluding dining) were catching a performance of La Nouba and renting a boat for an afternoon and spending time together touring the waterways at WDW.

We are celebrating our 10th anniversary this December and we've lined up a great number of special things. Excluding fancy food, we are staying club level at AKL through which we are doing the Sunrise Safari. We also are doing an Illuminations Cruise one night and plan to get champagne to enjoy on the boat as we watch the fireworks.

Great suggestions. I'm looking for all of the above. I love the horse back riding idea. DH has never been. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to stay at AKL, however from what I've seen its way out of our budget.

I am staying at the Grand Floridian & ordered from the cake hotline. There is a huge thread about cakes in the dining section, it's wonderful. You can really customize if you are willing to spend the money. I am ordering a 2nd mini wedding cake for my 10 yr old daughter - yellow with red roses to look like Belle.

Where are you staying? There are different numbers for each resort. GF & Poly are the same. Our mini cake is $35 & I ordered from the cake hotline. If you search dining for cakes a big thread will come up with all the info & lots of great pics.

We went for our tenth in October 4yrs ago My hubby called the Disney florist, and they sprinkled a trail of rose petals to the bed and put some in the shape of a heart on the bed. He placed a gift for me inside the heart It was beautiful!

I'm not sure... I know he did. It was really nice. You follow the paths around the resort and go along by the river.
