Take your love to new heights — 400 feet, to be exact — on The Wheel at ICON Park. Ride in your own private capsule to the top of Orlando’s iconic observation wheel. Share a toast of sparkling wine while taking in a panoramic view of the city skyline.

The Sugar Factory is a popular spot, so be sure to book a reservation in advance.
Of course, Orlando is also the theme park capital of the world.

Another great way to experience the magic of Orlando’s theme parks is by visiting their resorts and open-air entertainment complexes. Book a dinner reservation at one of Disney’s themed resort hotels, dance and dine the night away at Universal CityWalk, or enjoy shopping and snacking at Disney Springs (Gideon’s Bakehouse is a must).
