Hello there, Wendy! I’m so glad you stopped by planDisney to talk about one of my favorite topics: celebrations! Commemorating your anniversary at the Disneyland Resort every year sounds like a real-life fairy tale! I wholeheartedly agree, the Happiest Place on Earth is a perfect backdrop for celebrating love. While Disneyland doesn't offer pre-bundled "anniversary packages" in the way you might think of vacation bundles, you absolutely can sprinkle pixie dust throughout your visit to create your very own bespoke anniversary celebration package! Think of all the magical elements available—you get to be the Fairy Godmother orchestrating the perfect surprise!
There are so many ways to add extra enchantment to your tradition! For instance, you could create moments of pure relaxation by whisking your sweetheart away to the serene
Tenaya Stone Spa, located at
Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. Booking a couples massage there could be a wonderfully refreshing escape amidst the park excitement. When it comes to iconic romantic dining, scoring a reservation at the
Blue Bayou Restaurant is like stepping into a dream, dining under the perpetual twilight of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. Just remember, this timeless treasure is incredibly popular, so be sure to mark your calendar to book exactly 60 days in advance of your visit, when reservations usually open! Another elegant choice is
Carthay Circle Restaurant, offering sophisticated ambiance reminiscent of Hollywood's golden age, perfect for a celebratory toast. For a different kind of fun and a dose of adventure, consider sharing exotic cocktails at
Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar at the Disneyland Hotel, or explore the vibrant
Downtown Disney District for a delightful dinner and lively entertainment outside the parks.
Now, Wendy, if your anniversary trip includes a stay at one of the fabulous Disneyland Resort Hotels, you might consider arranging an
in-room celebration! Just imagine surprising your loved one by opening your hotel room door to a magical display of delightful chocolates, keepsake souvenirs, festive balloons, and maybe even romantic rose petals. Wouldn't that be enchanting? Of course, specific offerings like these can vary and are subject to change, so it's always best to confirm what's currently available. My best advice is to ask about the current in-room celebration options and place your order either when booking your room or by calling the hotel directly in advance, as they typically require at least 48 hours' notice to prepare everything perfectly for your arrival surprise.
And don't forget the simple magic of picking up complimentary "Happily Ever After" celebration buttons upon arrival! You can usually find these at City Hall in Disneyland Park or at the Chamber of Commerce in Disney California Adventure Park. Wearing them lets everyone know about your special occasion and often brings warm wishes from Cast Members and fellow guests throughout your visit, adding another layer of celebration.
Wendy, I hope these ideas help you craft the most enchanting anniversary surprise yet! Wishing you both a celebration filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable Disneyland magic. Happy Anniversary!
