Special Dining Experiences

For guests staying at a Disney Resort there are a few little known dining options which are a great way to splash out or celebrate a special occasion.

For couples there is the option of planning an intimate meal on a terrace at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort with a view of the Wishes fireworks at the Magic Kingdom. Prices start at around $85 per person when choosing from the Private Dining menu however it is possible to customise the menu to your tastes. For a 25% surcharge it is also possible to order of the menu at Citricos or Narcoossee's. There is also a $75 fee for a private butler who will meet you in the lobby, take your to your decorated table and serve your meal. A perfect way to celebrate a special anniversary or for those wishing to pop the question! To book contact Private Dining at the Grand Floridian on 407 824 2474

Another option which is available to couples or groups is to book a private meal at a different location. Disney's Catered Events team usually deal with large groups spending lots of money but will also work with individuals wishing to arrange a smaller, less expensive affair. That said expect to pay at least $250 as a starting point! This option allows you to plan a private catered event in a secluded area at any of the deluxe resorts, in a private roped off area in the World Showcase at Epcot during IllumiNations or even on the patios in the Fantasmic! amphitheatre! Menu options are incredibly varied and customisable and include gorgeous hot and cold buffets of even dessert parties (a popular choice with couples having Disney Weddings!).
