LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla.-- Couples who've been bitten by the love bug don't need a fairy godmother to find romance at Walt Disney World Resort. This is, after all, home to some of the world's most famous romances: Cinderella and Prince Charming, Lady and the Tramp, Beauty and the Beast -- and don't forget America's sweethearts, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. Throughout the 30,500-acre Vacation Kingdom, love is in the air.

During a couples spa experience. In the middle of a romantic dinner. Or on one of the "love boats" that cruise Disney waterways.

Honeymooners thrive in the amorous ambiance of Walt Disney World Resort -- the nation's top honeymoon destination, according to industry experts.

And for couples who want to make their own fairy tale dream come true -- complete with Cinderella's coach and her famous glass slipper -- Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings create an enchanting, unforgettable experience.

The four Disney theme parks create a perfect setting for unscripted romance -- whether it's a stroll along the lush Maharajah Jungle Trek at Disney's Animal Kingdom or a relaxing stop for espresso and pastries at a sidewalk table in the France pavilion of Epcot World Showcase. Beyond the parks, couples can embrace a lineup of romantic experiences that seem designed just for them:
