Celebrate Mother's Day at Disney World and Universal

Mother's Day: that magical day when we attempt to repay our moms for their years of love, nurturing, and not strangling us when we were oh-so-adorable/borderline-totally-insane little monsters. And what better world stage for this than Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando? Let's dive into a few ideas to make Mom's day at the Mouse House or Hogwarts as thrilling as it is wacky.



First on the agenda? Fill that rumbling tummy with a scrumptious breakfast. We're talking quirky Mickey-shaped waffles or brunch so fancy you'll need to pinkies-up! Check out Be Our Guest in Magic Kingdom, Tusker House at Animal Kingdom, or The Leaky Cauldron (yeah, that's right – it EXISTS) in Universal’s Diagon Alley.


Post-noms, whisk your mom for some retail therapy at Disney Springs or Universal CityWalk. Whatever she fancies – be it outrageously high-end brands or kooky souvenirs – we got her covered, budget-wise.


Want to pamper the ol' gal? Get her all spa-ed up with Senses Spa at Grand Floridian Resort & Spa or Mandara Spa in Loews Portofino Bay Hotel. Massages, facials...we're talking coconut-scented nirvana right here.



For fearless Mama bears, unleash the adrenaline rush with The Incredible Hulk Coaster at Universal's Islands of Adventure or take on the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Because nothing says "Thanks, Mom!" quite like sheer panic-induced excitement!


And for a more Zen approach: a picturesque boat ride or tranquil lakeside stroll is always an option. Even splurge on a private tour (complete with VIP tour guide) to evade those pesky crowds and queues!


Once hunger strikes again, serve Mom one mouth-watering dinner at restaurants like California Grill in Disney's Contemporary Resort, The Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar in Universal CityWalk, or the Italian mama-approved Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano at Disney's Hollywood Studios.



Don't forget to round off the eventful day with epic nighttime shows like Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom or the Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts Castle. Cue emotional soundtrack for cherishing those priceless memories with Mom.


Lastly, pick up that special keepsake – a custom Mickey Mouse ear hat or glittery jewelry awaits. Immortalize your Mother's Day escapade in style!


So snap countless photos as you celebrate Mother's Day at Disney World or Universal!
