Disney World Luxury Attractions

Guests can even upgrade regular experiences to make for a truly lavish affair. For instance, instead of checking out the aquarium from the The Seas with Nemo & Friends pavilion, book the Ultimate Dive at Epcot's DiveQuest -- you'll have the six-million-gallon aquarium and its 65 species of marine life practically to yourself. Surfing lessons at the Typhoon Lagoon are available to anyone, but why not reserve the entire Surf Pool for a private party -- the only time surfboards are allowed there.

If a theme park vacation brings to mind endless meals of burgers and fries, Disney World's slew of upscale dining options begs reconsideration. From celebrity chef Todd English's bluezoo to the Mediterranean-style Citricos and its award-winning wine list, signature dining options abound in all the resorts. John Frost, who started the independent Disney Blog, especially recommends California Grill and the Animal Kingdom Lodge's African-themed Jiko's, which he calls "the two must-not-miss restaurants on property."

And luxury-focused author Cara Goldsbury offers a real insider's tip: the chef's table dinner at Victoria & Albert's, the elegant Victorian dining room, the only AAA Five Diamond restaurant in Central Florida. "It's the perfect spot for an up-close, behind-the-scenes look at Disney's top chef in action," she said, "and the most outstanding meal around, with up to 13 spectacular courses."

Given all the VIP options and specialized experiences, Disney World can be your family's five-star vacation or even a lighthearted but luxurious romp for a fun-loving couple. With some planning, guests can secure the best seats in the house, visit the most popular rides totally hassle-free, and arrange all sorts of unique, individualized visits to the attractions. You don't have to win a Super Bowl to have a luxury vacation at Disney World, but it helps to loosen the purse strings when you want Disney World to be a place where your dreams really do come true. Said Goldsbury: "As long as you're willing to pay the price, Disney can plan just about anything your heart desires."
