A romantic birthday getaway doesn't have to break the bank. It's possible to indulge for less than $500 for a weekend, with luxuries in the bargain. Orlando, Florida, offers opportunities to celebrate birthdays in style for those on a budget. There's more to Orlando than Walt Disney World. Spend the day with a special someone taking in all Orlando offers. Walk along the lakefront hand in hand, choose a birthday gift in a boutique, dine in a fine restaurant and watch the evening fireworks.
JW Marriott Orlando is a luxury resort, but it offers affordable packages suitable for romantic and birthday getaways. If the birthday boy or girl loves golf, try a golf package. A spa and golf course are on-site. For shoppers, the resort offers the Orlando Indulgence at the nearby Mall at Millenia. For food and beverages on-site, try the poolside bar, sushi bar, Starbucks outlet, the brassiere or Primo Italian retaurant. As of early 2010, packages began at $189 per night.
