Which Disney Park for Valentine's Day?

Walt Disney World: My fiance and I want to go to Disney this Valentine's Day, but which park would offer the most romantic experience (and the least crowds?)

My fiance and I live in Orlando and we're taking advantage of Disney's "Florida Residents Go Wild" deal, so we'll have three days at three different parks.

We want to do our first visit on Valentine's Day, so I'm trying to figure out which park would be best to visit for the occasion. I'm afraid Magic Kingdom will be completely packed. On the other hand, it seems like Epcot would be a very romantic place to spend Valentine's Day, but I'm wondering if everyone else has that same idea.

Does anyone have advice as to which park (any of the four) would be best for Valentine's Day? While we're at it, what are the best restaurants where we could possibly have a quiet, romantic meal?

I think Epcot in the world showcase is the most romantic part of Disney.

Technically any Disney park would suffice, though I would stick with the advice on EPCOT. Leisurely "traveling around the world" and exploring the different countries can be fun and most definitely romantic around certain parts.

If you want a romantic dinner afterwards, my suggestion would have to be the TPI award-winning Les Chefs de France. It is very romantic atmosphere (very Parisian) and has received some great reviews on the food.

To top off your day, IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth is the perfect way to complete a wonderful, magical day at EPCOT.

EPCOT ... and the restaurant Manny is referencing is Victoria & Alberts ... It's a "Menu Prix Fixe" at $125.00 per person not including wine, tax and gratuity ... meaning your bottom line will bump the check north of 300 pigs.

Jackets required.

If you want a GREAT dining experience outside of EPCOT, consider walking out the back door and trying Todd English's restaurant at the Dolphin called The Bluezoo.

It's true that restaurant of Victoria and Albert is really expensive

Correct me if I am wrong (as if I needed to extend THAT invitation in this joint) but the international exhibits at EPCOT are called "showcases" and not "pavilions."

My vote would be EPCOT! There are plenty of very nice restaurants and you can take a leisurly walk "around the world".

However, most resorts also have some nice romantic getaways. I would pick Beach/Yacht for quiet or the Boardwalk for fun and unique (but still romantic)

I would still go to Magic Kingdom. The castle is beautiful and the park at night is really something else. Just avoid Stitches Great Escape, which is probably the least romantic attraction in all of the parks. (Unless you enjoy aliens burping in your face).

TH, they actually DO call them pavilions, according to Wikipedia (which you can believe or not) and the Disney website (which you must believe!).

Paragraph 4, Sentence 2

My first response would be EPCOT. If you want lovely surroundings and a romantic setting.

However, EPCOT has Extra Magic Hours on that day so I would anticipate EPCOT being fairly busy. However, it is February we are talking about here so I believe crowds will be fairly moderate anyway.

I feel Disnelaand Paris is the perfect destonation! However I have been before at this time of year and would suggest booking your restraunt as Disney Village is chaos! Queues well over an hour for a restraunt!
