Arrive at Orlando International Airport and pick up your pre-booked rental or shuttle to the hotel on International Drive; check in and drop off luggage so you can start fresh. Unwind with a light stroll along International Drive—stop for a coffee and a pastry at Café Mineiro or Se7en Bites to refuel and soak up the first Florida sunshine before your honeymoon adventure truly begins.
Spend the afternoon exploring hotel amenities—take a dip in the pool, book a couples’ massage at the hotel spa, or relax on the poolside loungers with a cocktail from your resort bar. If you feel like venturing out, visit ICON Park for the Wheel and Madame Tussauds for easy sightseeing and great photo ops without committing to a full theme-park day.
Enjoy a romantic welcome dinner at a nearby International Drive restaurant—consider Vines Grille & Wine Bar for a special steak-and-wine experience or The Capital Grille for classic fine dining. Finish your night with a leisurely walk along The Wheel at ICON Park or a relaxed drink at CityWalk-adjacent bars to set the mood for the full Universal and Disney days ahead.
Start your day early with park-to-park or early entry (if available) and head straight to the must-do attractions — ride Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts in Diagon Alley and stroll through the shops for a butterbeer to share. Follow with classic favorites like Transformers: The Ride-3D and Revenge of the Mummy while lines are shorter, and snap a honeymoon photo on the charming New York and San Francisco backlots.
After a mid-day break for lunch at Leaky Cauldron or Finnegan’s Bar & Grill, catch character meet-and-greets and enjoy lighter attractions such as Despicable Me Minion Mayhem and MEN IN BLACK Alien Attack. If you want a thrill recharge, save Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit for the quieter late-afternoon window, then pick up any souvenirs in the Hollywood or Springfield shops before you depart the park.
Head to Universal CityWalk for a celebratory evening—dine at The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen for an indulgent dessert and creative entrée, or choose Vivo Italian Kitchen for a romantic pasta dinner. Finish the night with drinks at Red Coconut Club or a relaxed stroll along the lagoon, taking in the lights and live music to set the tone for tomorrow’s Islands of Adventure thrills.
Arrive early to Islands of Adventure and head straight to Hogsmeade to experience Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure before lines swell; linger in the village to sip a shared hot or frozen butterbeer and browse Honeydukes for fun honeymoon sweets. Afterward, tackle heart-pounding rides in The Wizarding World and nearby: brave the Incredible Hulk Coaster and the high-flying Doctor Doom’s Fearfall while you still have short waits.
Pause for a leisurely lunch at Three Broomsticks or Mythos Restaurant for flavorful, shareable plates that recharge you for more thrills. Spend the afternoon hopping between Seuss Landing’s whimsical photo ops and the Jurassic Park River Adventure for a splashy finale, then enjoy the interactive Camp Jurassic play areas or softer attractions like the Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man if you want a break from intense coasters.
As the park lights come on, revisit favorite corners for last-minute rides or souvenir hunting in the Islands of Adventure shops, then grab a cozy dinner at Thunder Falls Terrace overlooking the water. If energy allows, stroll through Universal CityWalk afterward for dessert at Voodoo Doughnut or drinks at Bob Marley — a relaxed end that bridges your Universal excitement with the Disney magic to come.
Check out from your International Drive hotel after a relaxed breakfast and enjoy a scenic drive or shuttle transfer to Walt Disney World—aim to arrive at your Magic Kingdom-area resort by late morning to check in and drop bags. If your room isn’t ready, use the resort’s luggage service and take a stroll around the hotel grounds or grab a light bite at the in-resort quick-service (try Contempo Café if staying at Contemporary or Roaring Fork at Wilderness Lodge) to settle into the Disney rhythm.
Spend the afternoon exploring your resort and taking advantage of Disney amenities — lounge by the pool, rent a surrey bike, or hop the resort monorail/boat to the Magic Kingdom area for photos and atmosphere without committing to a full park day. Pop into Disney Springs for a leisurely lunch at The Boathouse or Wine Bar George if you prefer varied dining and a bit of shopping for honeymoon keepsakes before your evening plans.
Arrive at Magic Kingdom in the early evening to soak up the park’s twilight magic; start with classic attractions that often have shorter lines at night like Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Enjoy a romantic dinner reservation at Be Our Guest or Cinderella’s Royal Table (if booked), then find a cozy spot for the nighttime fireworks and projection show—there’s no better way to cap your transition to Disney than watching the castle light up together.
Start early with park entry and head straight to Frozen Ever After in the Norway pavilion or, if you prefer thrills first, Test Track to design and race your own concept car — either is perfect for beating lines. After your first ride, wander the Future World exhibits: ride Spaceship Earth, explore the interactive exhibits in Mission: SPACE, and grab a light morning snack and coffee at Connections Café to fuel the day.
Spend the afternoon leisurely touring the World Showcase, sampling small plates from Morocco’s Tangierine Café and Japan’s Katsura Grill, and stopping for photos at the iconic pavilions — don’t miss the detailed shops in the France pavilion or the model train in Germany. For a romantic midday break, reserve a table for lunch at Via Napoli or Rose & Crown, then enjoy Attractions like Gran Fiesta Tour in Mexico and the new cultural performances scattered throughout the promenade.
As daylight fades, secure a dinner reservation at one of Epcot’s signature restaurants — try Le Cellier in Canada or La Hacienda de San Angel for waterfront views — followed by strolls through illuminated pavilions and finisher treats like a sweet macaron from Les Halles Boulangerie. Cap the night watching Epcot’s nighttime spectacular from a waterfront spot near the Italy or Japan pavilion, where fireworks, fountains, and projections create a cinematic, romantic finale to your honeymoon day.
Start your day with early entry and head straight to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge — ride Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run together, then wander through Black Spire Outpost to build a lightsaber at Dok-Ondar’s or grab a shared blue or green milk from Milk Stand. After a Star Wars fix, make your way to Toy Story Land for Slinky Dog Dash for a breezy, joy-filled coaster and pose for playful honeymoon photos by the Alien Swirling Saucers.
Stop for a leisurely lunch at the Hollywood Brown Derby or the quick-service Woody’s Lunch Box for classic comfort fare, then catch immersive shows like Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular or the Lighting McQueen Racing Academy for lighter thrills and great entertainment. Spend the later afternoon tackling headliners with shorter waits — secure a boarding group or Lightning Lane for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance if available, and enjoy Muppet*Vision 3D for a nostalgic, offbeat interlude.
As night falls, reserve a table at the Hollywood Brown Derby or 50’s Prime Time Café for a memorable dinner with themed ambiance before settling in for the nighttime spectacular; watch Fantasmic! for dramatic fireworks, projections, and live action (check showtimes and grab seats early). End your night with a slow stroll down Hollywood Boulevard, a final stop at the Keystone Clothiers or Tatooine Traders for souvenirs, and a late-night snack from Ronto Roasters to savor the last bites of your Disney days.
Sleep in a little and savor a relaxed breakfast at your resort — try the character-free tranquility at your hotel’s café or a leisurely table at Grand Floridian’s Gasparilla Island Grill or the Contemporary’s Contempo Café if you’re nearby. Pack any last items, swing by the gift shop for a final souvenir or two (look for honeymoon mementos or park-exclusive pins), and use the resort’s luggage hold and bell services so you can enjoy the day hands-free.
Head to Disney Springs or the nearby Orlando International Premium Outlets for last-minute shopping and a casual lunch; grab a lakeside bite at The BOATHOUSE or imaginative sushi at Morimoto Asia in Disney Springs, or pick up discounted park apparel and accessories at the outlets. If time allows before your transfer, relax with a couples’ spa express treatment at the resort spa or take a quiet stroll around the hotel grounds or by the resort pool to soak up Florida sunshine one last time.
Collect your luggage and confirm your shuttle or rental car return, then enjoy a light early dinner near the airport—consider a relaxed meal at Cask & Larder at Orlando Airport’s nearby options or a quick bite at the terminal’s sit-down restaurants. Arrive at Orlando International Airport with time to spare for security, share a final celebratory toast at a departure lounge or café, and reflect on a week of Universal thrills and Disney magic as you board home.
