Most romantic resort in Walt Disney World Florida

Does anyone know which is the most romantic resort in Walt Disney World Florida? We are open and don't have to necesarily stay at one of the Disney accomodations.

This is our requirement:

Beautiful landscaped grounds with waterfall in the swimming pool.

A bar outside that serves tropical drinks (preferably a tiki type bar)

Nice clean rooms that are new or updated

Thanks a ton!

I like the Polynesian Resort in Walt Disney World. It is beautiful and very romantic.

IF you stay at a WDW property you might want to get a concierge room.

I just got back from the Polynesian and was glad that I had upgraded to the concierge level.

I'd vote for the Grand Floridian at WDW, and do get a concierge room.

Dick -

Did the pool at the Polynesian Resort have a waterfall to swim under?

Susie,

I didn't see one. They have a "volcano" with slides. The lifeguarded pool seemed to be mostly kids and families. They have a smaller, quiet pool also.

with so many kids at Disney, I'm not sure I could Eqate the hotel with romantic.

The Grand Floridian, which is newer, did look quite nice as we went by.

My guess is that you could find a more romantic property at a more adult hotel.

Grand Floridian by far!! Though I admit I haven't really explored the Polynesian, it is probably more what you are looking for. I know the Swan/Dolphin has a waterfall in the pool, but no tiki bar and I wouldn't say the hotel was romantic.

Not Disney World! Romantic, never! Go to the Westin Grand Cayman or Kahala Ohau!

Romantic applied to WDW does seem like an oxymoron, but for the most romantic spot...

I vote the Poly...nice rooms, mature, lush vegetation...and an "air" about it.

I will never forget my first introduction to the GF...a beautiful property. We entered from the monorail entrance, heard the piano echoing through the grand lobby. Anticipating greatness, we got to the balcony rail, surveyed the scene, and there was this guy, about 300 pounds, in a wet bathing suit and a t-shirt with his navel hanging out, sitting on a lobby sofa, drinking a beer and eating Cheetos.

I so wanted it to be like the Del Coronado, but...

Stay off site, but right near Disney Village at the Grand Cypress Hyatt. Meets all your requirements and then some. Transport to th parks is included.

Definitely Grand Floridian, concierge level. I do believe their smaller pool has waterfall/slide, but not tropical. Absolutely beautiful resort. We could see Cinderellas castle from our room and watched the nightly fireworks above the castle from our balcony.

Had a superb meal/service at Victoria & Alberts.

Polynesian is also wonderful and very tropical.....
