Do your romance levels increase when vacationing in Disney?

Nope. Way to much going on. The kids put a damper on the whole romantic thing too. Then again, I'm not that much of a romantic person. I get annoyed when family hangs on me to much lol. :p I love you and all, but respect the personal bubble.

That being said, DH and I are at least taking one romantic dinner together and getting sitters for the kids.

Firstly let's not be too explicit here, but let's have the discussion in a civilised manner. I'm sure we all have romantic qualities that we show to our partners in everyday life (and rightly so), but do you find you become a little bit more romantic when in Disney?

I find that on our trips to Disney, it's easier for me to 'appear' more romantic than I usually do. I'm one of those people who is quite capable of ruining a romantic moment accidentally, usually by opening my mouth and allowing words to come out. I sometimes say something romantic but then my brain says "That line was great, keep going as that was gold". I then invariably say something stupid and ruin all the good work I've put in up to that point.

However when we're in Disney World there are so many moments were I can seem romantic towards Mrs Merg with minimal effort. I don't mean that as in I don't want to make the effort, it's just I need less words because of the surrounding environment so there's less chance of me ruining it. For instance I've discovered that standing in front of the castle watching the fireworks, I only have to put my hand on her back and say nothing and it's like a million brownie points for me for being 'Mr Romance'. Contrast that with me doing the same in the supermarket and getting a response of "What do you want now, can't you see I'm choosing what dog worming tablets to buy".

Other 'minimal effort, high reward' moments include holding her hand on the steamboat circling the Rivers of America, sharing a car at the Sc-fi Dine in theater snuggled up, holding her hand on the drop in Pirates and more bizarrely having a photo of both of us with the characters at the Crystal Palace breakfast buffet. I'm sure there's others too but those just stood out as being very rewarding for me :cool:.

So is it just me, or do any of you lot have a similar experience?
The walls at All-Star are paper thin, so no.

Okay, maybe the "mature" adults (hehe) think a place like standing in front of the Eiffel Tower is the most romantic thing in the world, and I am not knocking it at all. But yeah, Disney can be romantic. I got laughed at years ago when I mentioned that to a co-worker but to be honest, how can it not be? You've got things like the parades, the fireworks and even some of the dark rides can be done that way. I even think taking the ferry back to the parking lot at night and looking back at the park is very romantic. How in the world can't it be? Or even just sitting on a bench in Main Street, night or day.

Yes
i'm alone now :( and have felt it very hard to return back to disney due to the emotional tie-in that i have with having a companion and being at the parks. and it has nothing to due with that wink wink stuff. i have a full family [parents, sis, niece, nephew, etc] trip planned later this year but i don't know how i feel about going. i thought i would be fine going alone at some point after the break up but i still don't feel up to it. so i underestimated the feelings that are intertwined there. sorry if that was too off topic or a downer. don't worry, i get up every morning! :D

I'm sorry :(

I LOVE going solo. I haven't had the "pleasure" of taking a S.O. to the parks and probably never will LOL.

Most vacations cause us to relax and unwind a little. Our day to day life can be so hectic that vacation is just a release for us. So yeah, we are. We are not commandos at all at Disney now so we have a lot of down and relaxing time. Being in 2 bedroom villas for the 3 of us helps too ;)
