Both Disneyland and Walt Disney World offer a range of special events for guests to enjoy. A popular and adult friendly special event at both Florida's EPCOT park and Disney's California Adventure park is the annual Food and Wine festival, offering food and wine tastings, special culinary demonstrations and unique meal showcases. While the exact dates vary each year, the Florida event takes place in the fall, with the California event taking place in the late spring.
Adults celebrating a special occasion should be sure to ask at their Disney hotel or at a park's guest relations window for celebration buttons. The buttons are complimentary and are available for special events like engagements, anniversaries, honeymoons and birthdays. Most of the buttons can be personalized with a name for an extra special touch. Disney cast members and other park guests often notice the buttons and offer their congratulations.
Adults looking for romantic dining may enjoy the signature restaurants at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland, as they provide gourmet menus and extensive wine lists. Adults visiting Walt Disney World may wish to visit Victoria and Albert's, a AAA five-star restaurant with dining limited to adults and children ages 10 and over.
Adults have a wide range of ride options to choose from at Disney parks from the thrilling Space Mountain roller coasters to the tamer "It's a small world" rides at both Disneyland in California and the Magic Kingdom in Florida.
