Surprise for my partner

I am stuck, well and truly.
My partner and I go to WDW in October and not only is it my birthday but three days later is our four year anniversary!
I was looking at booking something a little extra special and keeping it on the down low.

But I am stuck for what I can do...
I thought about renting a cabana in DC but was wondering if it was really worth it considering we are not actually swimming with dolphins and ((I think)) the food is already included with the tickets (am I right in saying this?)
Then I thought about a bottle of something to the room and then realised that we are only 20 so cannot drink...

if anyone could give me any ideas I would be greatful because I am STUCK

Thank you

It'll be our 10year anniversary when we go in August so I've thought about a few things. Its our daughters and my birthday whilst we are there too!

In room celebrations
disneyworld.disneyfloralandgi...elebrations.do

Spas
disneyworld.disney.go/spas/

Carriage rides
disneyworld.disney.go/re...arriage-rides/

Other ideas
  • Dinner at a signature restaurant
  • Water taxi's at DS

Or for a real surprise you can propose in front of the castle , no pressure... Ring guest relations and they might sort you out with a photographer etc

I booked the Keys to the Kingdom tour for my sister for her 16th birthday. It was her birthday the week before we travelled. It was great, me and my husband loved it too.

Anything up to around £350-400 but obviously if there is a hidden bargain I wouldn't mind

these look fab I will definitely look into them but we don't have enough time for a carriage ride or spa treatment.

oh and it is definitely his job to propose and he is so unorganised the chances of that happening are slim to none

well, I would consider the Wishes Cruise... it's not cheap but within your budget and lasts about an hour...you watch Wishes from the lagoon and it's like the fireworks are just for you.

You can share ( with other Dibbers ) as the boat seats 8 but if you want it to be more romantic then just the two of you would be great... we have done it twice with family and it's superb

Oh, I wouldn't discard the cabana at DC. Not sure how much it is but if you request ( not guaranteed but normally very accommodating) one of those to the left of the Grand Reef, there is a little private beach outside to sunbath on. You get a constantly refilled fridge of drinks and snacks... it does add to the day and make it more special.

Also have a look at Sea Venture at DC... I much prefer that than the dolphin swim

We did a helicopter ride for my daughter last time we went and it was great. Not too expensive either. Or how about Dine with Shamu?
