15 cities you thought were romantic but really aren’t

5. Orlando (Disney World)

For those of a certain vintage (yes, I’m referring to kids), Disney World represents the Happiest Place on Earth. A trip to Mickey Mouse’s theme park paradise can leave a pretty profound impression, which is why some return back, even into adulthood, to attempt to rediscover that childhood glee. But romantic? It’s hard to see how hour-long lines, an endless stream of screaming children and a rich assortment of kiddie rides can be construed as a couple-friendly getaway. Credit Disney with addressing their older visitors through resort hotels and the nightlife haven of Downtown Disney, but there remain better options.
