Hi there, Louis, and welcome to planDisney! I couldn't be happier that you're here with this question about proposing to the love of your life at Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park in just a few days! It sounds like you're gearing up for an incredibly special celebration.
Louis, few things are more unforgettable than a proposal at Animal Kingdom. No matter how you choose to pop the question, it's going to be amazing! I suggest enlisting the help of a Disney PhotoPass Photographer, toasting at a special dinner afterward, and grabbing complimentary buttons that you can wear to show everyone that you're celebrating. If you're staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel, consider ordering a surprise treat from
Magical Floral and Gifts.
Have you heard of
Capture Your Moment photo sessions? These are dedicated 20-minute photo shoots with a Disney PhotoPass Photographer at the park of your choice. Alternatively, you could find a Disney PhotoPass Photographer in the park, discreetly let them know what's about to happen, and when it's time to strike a pose, take a knee!
Animal Kingdom Theme Park is home to lots of incredible dining options. If you'd like to toast your engagement, consider dinner at
Yak and Yeti Restaurant or
Tusker House Restaurant - you'll want to go ahead and book a
reservation. I'm also partial to
Nomad Lounge, which is a more leisurely and relaxed dining experience. Join the mobile walk-up list as soon as you can and request a table outside for a top-notch experience.
Be sure to head to the Front Desk at your
Disney Resorts Collection hotel or Guest Relations at the park to grab complimentary buttons that your whole family can wear. Cast Members will love to congratulate you throughout your vacation! These buttons are also a great souvenir you can keep forever - I still have the one I wore after my engagement almost 15 years ago!
This isn't proposal-related, but you mentioned you have a baby in tow. Be sure to take advantage of the beautiful facilities in the
Baby Care Center - it's a perfect place to change, feed, and rest. The other kiddos can color or watch a movie while you're taking care of the baby, and you can even find essentials for purchase like diapers, wipes, medicine, and more!
Louis, I hope your proposal goes perfectly and that your family has the very best time during your Walt Disney World Resort vacation. Please stop by planDisney with any other questions you have. I'll be celebrating with you in spirit!
Best wishes,
Jennifer
