Valentine’s Deals beyond a meal in the Orlando area
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, a day when many people’s creativity suddenly fails them and the only way they can think to express their love is with a prix fixe menu. But this is Orlando, a magical land where creativity should reign supreme and where we have plenty more to offer than steak and champagne (not that there’s anything wrong with either).
Several places are offering experiences beyond the table, and saving money to boot. Here are a couple interesting options for Feb. 14 with deals attached:
Eforea Spa
Located in the Hilton Orlando, the spa’s Romance Package (which is available through Feb. 29) features a 50-minute couples massage, access to the pool and other spa amenities, pool-side drinks and valet parking for $179. Use code ROMANCE20 at check out. 6001 Destination Parkway, Orlando; 407-313-8600; thehiltonorlando.com

Valentine’s Day is also National
Ferris Wheel Day, so the Central Florida’s cheaper thrill ride attraction is offering free rides. 5700 Fun Spot Way, Orlando; and 2850 Florida Plaza Blvd., Kissimmee; 407-363-3867; funspot.com
Island H2O Live!
The water park located at the Margaritaville Resort is giving couples BOGO admission for the big day. To a water park. In February. Cuddling to stave off hypothermia is romantic, I suppose. 3230 Inspiration Drive, Kissimmee; 407-910-1401; islandh2olive.com
Seasons 52
OK, this one falls into the traditional dinner route and they actually have specials all week leading up to the special day. Get engaged at a Seasons 52 on Valentine’s Day and you will get a complementary toast at your table every time you dine with them for a year. Though if you’re thinking of getting married for free drinks, I think you might need to thoroughly examine your relationship. Various locations; seasons52.com
