Valentine's Day in Orlando 2027: Dinners, Date Ideas and a Busy Weekend

Valentine's Day 2027 falls on a Sunday, and it's also Super Bowl Sunday, with Presidents' Day the next morning. That makes the whole weekend of February 12 to 15 busy in Orlando, and it means the best dinner tables and experiences go early. Here's how to plan it.

What's different about Valentine's Day 2027

• Sunday, February 14: Valentine's Day and the Super Bowl on the same day. Sports bars will be packed, and some restaurants plan around the game.
• Monday, February 15: Presidents' Day, a school holiday for many families, so theme parks and hotels are busy all weekend.
• Saturday, February 13: many couples will celebrate a day early. Expect Saturday night to book up as fast as Sunday.
• Festivals running: EPCOT's Festival of the Arts and Universal Mardi Gras are both on, which adds romantic options and more crowds.

Valentine's Day dinner in Orlando

Big resort restaurants usually post Valentine's menus in January. As of November, Rosen Shingle Creek and Rosen Centre have listed February 14, 2027 dinners with menus still to come. Book as soon as menus go up, and ask about Saturday the 13th if Sunday is full.

If you'd rather skip the prix fixe crowd, a dinner show is a fun alternative. The Polynesian Fire Luau is an easy date night, and the Speakeasy Murder Mystery is a good pick if you both like a puzzle. Our dinner shows ranked guide compares them all.

Romantic things to do in Orlando for Valentine's Day

• Sunset on the water. A sunset kayak in Winter Park paddles the chain of lakes as the sky changes, or take a sunset airboat tour at Boggy Creek in Kissimmee, 10% off through our link.
• See Orlando from above. A helicopter tour over Kissimmee is short, memorable and easy to fit in before dinner.
• A food tour. The Flavors of Winter Park food tour covers Park Avenue, where you can stay for a walk after.
• EPCOT at night. The Festival of the Arts makes World Showcase prettier than usual, and the Broadway concerts are included with admission, with first come, first served seating. Disney hasn't announced the 2027 performers yet.
• Something sweet. At Mini Moo Land you can cuddle highland cows and bottle feed baby calves, which is a surprisingly good date. Our Mini Moo Land bottle feeding deal takes 10% off.

Tips for Valentine's weekend in Orlando

• Book by mid-January. Dinner reservations, hotels and anything with limited seats.
• Pick Friday or Monday for the outing and keep Sunday simple.
• Check the kickoff time once the NFL posts it, before you book a reservation on the 14th.

What's officially confirmed for Valentine's weekend

A lot of this weekend depends on dates set by other people. Here is what each organiser had posted as of November 2026.

• Super Bowl LXI: the NFL lists the game for Sunday, February 14, 2027 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Its announcement does not give a kickoff time, so check that before you choose a dinner slot.
• EPCOT Festival of the Arts: Disney's festival page lists January 15 through March 1, 2027, included with valid EPCOT admission. A park reservation may be required depending on your ticket type.
• Universal Mardi Gras: Universal's event page lists February 6 to March 27, 2027 at Universal Studios Florida, included with a theme park ticket or Annual Pass, with blockout dates for passes. Concerts are on select nights and no dates are posted yet, so do not assume there is one on the 13th or 14th.
• Presidents' Day: the Orange County Public Schools calendar shows schools closed on Monday, February 15. The Osceola County calendar does not list that Monday as a holiday. Its February day off is Friday the 19th.

Dinner reservations: where the resorts stand

Both Rosen hotels have a 2027 date up without a menu.

• Rosen Shingle Creek: its Valentine's page lists dinners at Cala Bella and A Land Remembered for Sunday, February 14, 2027. The hotel says the 2027 menus are still being put together and shows the 2026 menus as a preview.
• Rosen Centre: its Valentine's page lists prix fixe three-course dinners at Everglades Restaurant and Harry's Poolside Bar & Grill for the same date, and says the menus will be released closer to the event.

Neither page shows a 2027 price yet. Both have a reservations link and phone numbers, so you can ask about seating times now and confirm the menu later.

Parking, bags and accessibility on a date night

• EPCOT parking: Disney's parking page lists standard parking at $35 per day in November 2026. It is included for Disney Resort hotel guests and select Annual Passholders.
• Bags at EPCOT: Disney's park rules do not allow bags or coolers larger than 24 inches long by 15 inches wide by 18 inches high, glass containers or outside alcohol. Leave the bottle of wine at home.
• Concert seating at EPCOT: Disney says seating is first come, first served, and that dining packages with guaranteed seats go on sale at a later date.
• Universal: the accessibility page says parades and stage shows have reserved Accessible Viewing areas. Ask an attendant where the nearest one is.
• Winter Park: if your plan is Park Avenue, look at the City of Winter Park's parking page and its downtown parking guide before you go.
