Magical Girls' Getaway to Walt Disney World Resort

Every now and then, you need a trip that promises laughter, leisure, and a splash of pixie dust. That’s exactly what our girls’ getaway to Walt Disney World Resort delivered. No kids, no chaos—just friends reliving the magic, soaking up sunshine, sipping cocktails, and letting our inner Disney fans run free.

🌸 Flower & Garden Festival Dreams

We planned our visit around one of Epcot’s most beautiful events—the International Flower & Garden Festival—and it did not disappoint. The stunning topiaries and vibrant floral displays created a mesmerizing experience. The fresh spring flavors at the outdoor kitchens were simply delightful. At Epcot, we strolled, snacked, and sipped at our own pace. We stopped often for photos, drinks, and loads of laughter.

Pro Tip for Wine Lovers

If you're a fan of wine, make sure to sample it in France and Italy. Both places have wine bars showcasing their authentic varietals. It's an experience you won't want to miss!

🏨 Home Base: Disney’s Riviera Resort

Our home for the trip was the elegant Disney’s Riviera Resort. It was the perfect choice for a girls’ trip—sophisticated, quiet, and beautifully themed with European flair. The rooms were gorgeous, with a split bathroom setup that allowed us to get ready at the same time without a rush.

Convenient Breakfast Prep

To keep the hurried mornings at bay, we prepped breakfast in our kitchenette. This was simple because we pre-ordered groceries to be delivered to Bell Services prior to check-in. Being only a quick Skyliner ride away from Epcot and Hollywood Studios made everything feel extra convenient.

🍸 Sips, Snacks, and Sweet Moments

One of our favorite hangouts was Nomad Lounge in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The atmosphere was relaxed and warm. The handcrafted cocktails were absolutely perfect after a safari or a stroll through Pandora. Pro tip: the churros here are a must-try!

A Whimsical Dining Experience

Another highlight was our dreamy dinner at The Cake Bake Shop at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort. The whimsical decor, featuring floral wallpaper and sparkling chandeliers, felt straight out of a fairytale. We enjoyed prosecco and shared slices of extravagant cake. We lingered over lunch, soaking in the moment as if we had all the time in the world. Because, for once, we truly did.

We also celebrated a special dinner at Topolino's Terrace located atop the Riviera Resort. The bar and beautiful terrace offered a stunning view, complemented by a lovely dining room. Our experience here was superb. The service was attentive, and the wine paired perfectly with our meals.

🎢 Our Ride-or-Die Attractions

Let's be real—this trip wasn’t just about food and relaxation. We carved out time for our thrill-seeking sides too. Slinky Dog Dash was Jen’s favorite—she giggled the entire ride! Meanwhile, I couldn’t get enough of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. We rode it twice, and I would have gone again if time allowed. It was smooth, exhilarating, and had us dancing in our seats—zero regrets.

💫 Characters, Naps, and No Schedule

One of the biggest joys of enjoying Disney as adults? You can take it slow. We didn’t rush anywhere. We met characters like Joy and Donald Duck, took daily naps back at our resort (a highly underrated Disney hack), and never felt crammed into a schedule. We let the magic unfold naturally, making it one of the most fun and relaxing Disney trips I’ve ever experienced.

Final Thoughts

There’s something truly special about experiencing Disney with your best girlfriends. No stroller meltdowns, no rope-drop pressure—just beautiful weather, delicious food, spontaneous joy, and memories that will last long after the magic bands come off. Whether it’s your first girls’ trip or your fifteenth, I can’t recommend it enough.

So, go ahead—grab your Minnie ears, text the group chat, and plan that Disney escape. Trust me: it’s pure magic.
