    I'm looking for a magical 40th anniversary trip to Disneyworld Florida. Where would you say would be the most magical place to stay for 2 adults? We have done Coronado springs and Animal Kingdom lodge and loved both of them.

    Hi Karen! Welcome back to planDisney! First, let me congratulate you on your upcoming Ruby Anniversary—what a milestone! Celebrating 40 years of love and adventure is truly magical, and I can’t think of a better place to commemorate such a special occasion than The Most Magical Place on Earth.

    When selecting the perfect Disney Resorts Collection hotel for your anniversary getaway, you can’t go wrong—every Disney Resort offers something unique. But if you’re looking for something truly special, here are a few of my top picks:  

    • Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa – This is the ultimate in luxury and romance. A Theme Park View room would be the icing on the (anniversary) cake, allowing you to watch Happily Ever After fireworks from your private balcony, all while sipping a glass of champagne and reminiscing about your journey together.  
    • Disney’s Contemporary Resort—Another iconic choice, this resort is one of Walt Disney World’s original hotels. Like the Grand Floridian, a Theme Park View room here allows you to experience Happily Ever After right from your balcony, making for a truly romantic evening.  
    • Disney’s BoardWalk Inn – If you’re looking for charm and ambiance, a BoardWalk View room at this resort is a fantastic choice. Imagine morning strolls to grab coffee, peaceful evenings on your balcony, and the Atlantic City-style boardwalk steps away. This could be the perfect blend of being near the action while still having a relaxing retreat.  

    To make your anniversary even more unforgettable, consider adding a little extra enchantment:  

    • Fireworks Dessert Party – A dazzling way to celebrate with a stunning view of Happily Ever After or Luminous: The Symphony of Us at EPCOT.  
    • Capture Your Moment – A private photo session in Magic Kingdom Park or EPCOT to document your milestone in the most magical way.
    • Magical Floral & Gifts  – Surprise your loved one with a special delivery straight to your resort room.  

    And let’s not forget a picture-perfect meal to celebrate your 40 years together. A California Grill dinner, timed perfectly with the fireworks, is an incredible way to toast to your anniversary. Narcoossee’s is another top-tier pick, offering waterfront views and an intimate setting. And for a little touch of Parisian romance, you might consider Monsieur Paul in EPCOT’s France Pavilion. 

    Karen, if you’d like me to dig a little deeper into any of these recommendations—whether it’s resorts, dining, or Enchanting Extrassend another question my way.

    Cheers to 40 years,  
    Brent
