Go to the head of the line for all of your favorite rides, enjoy the shows, go behind the scenes, and have a romantic dinner at one of the parks’ full-service restaurants. It’s not cheap, but the memories it creates is priceless.

You can buy pictures taken by the park photographers or use your own camera to get shots with the characters and at various photo stops around the resort. Even though you’re in Orlando, your photos will reflect a variety of fun and exotic locations, from the Simpsons’ hometown of Springfield to Jurassic Park to London to Hogwarts Castle.

The two parks also have plenty of thrill rides where it’s perfectly acceptable for couples to cling to each other as King Kong attacks or the raft being pursued by dinosaurs heads for a perilous drop or you try to avoid the Mummy’s curse. You and your beloved can even indulge in a little friendly competition on Men In Black: Alien Attack. If things get a little heated over who gets the high score, you can always kiss and make up afterwards.

If you stick around until the end of the day at Universal Studios Florida, watch the Cinematic Spectacular show while snuggling together. It’s a whirlwind trip through a century of Universal movies, narrated by Morgan Freeman and set to a swelling soundtrack, with some romantic moments woven in among themes from Heroes to Horror.
