In high school, a Disneyland date was a BIG deal. It meant you wanted to spend the entire day with someone, spend a lot of money on them (keep reading for ways to save too!) and maybe even snuggle up together on those dark rides if the chemistry was right.
As an adult, I know many people (myself included!) who have honeymooned at Disneyland, gotten engaged at Disneyland and even secretly been married inside the parks! To me, the place exudes romance.

My husband and I had our honeymoon in Disneyland. We love going on day dates there while our son is at school. If we go at night we try to eat at Blue Bayou and then head to Tomorrowland for live music and dancing.
