How to have a romantic moment- Disney style!

by Lucy Moore | 27 November 2013

The Disney Princesses have a lot to teach!

We all as women love a romantic moment- an unexpected kiss, a squeeze of the hand, a candle lit meal, but Disney really takes the biscuit with its interpretation of special time with your partner! With the release of Saving Mr Banks this weekend we are all about the Disney here at Female First!

Whether you are an animal or a human Disney doesn’t discriminate, for every creature is entitled to some romance in their lives!

We take some tips from Disney to make moments with your partner as magical they are on screen!

Some prolonged eye contact over the park and gate-crashing someone else’s wedding is the sure fire way to steal your partner’s heart! (101 Dalmations)
A long embrace followed by staring into each other’s eyes always gets their attention! (Atlantis)
A bit of at home medical attention encourages a snog, so if you partner is poorly make sure you are by his side all the way! (Hunchback of Notre Dame)
It’s all about the big entrance to get his attention- oh and he must always ask Daddy’ permission first before big decisions are made! (Pocahontas)
Flowers are always winning gifts, just make sure that you are not allergic to them first! (The Fox and The Hound)
Complimenting your partner’s eyes generally means that they or you have noticed them in more detail and normally ‘your eyes are like diamonds’ could be a bit cliché but O’Malley seems to pull it off just fine, so we don’t see why you can’t! (Aristocats)
Going round to your partner’s house (or work)- somewhere preferably with a balcony and belting out a tune apparently works, in true Romeo and Juliet style. (Snow White and the Seven Dwarves)
If you haven’t seen the love of your life in years make the most of your hello- do your hair, apply your best make up and stun him with your devilishly good lucks until he falls over himself! As Gok would say ‘it’s all about the confidence! (Bambi)
If you can find a palace- wonderful, if not go one further from Beauty and the Beast and sing to your love while you dance. And don’t forget to find a sparkly dress while you do it- its looks lovely in the light! (CInderella)
Promise never ever to hurt your lover! A pretty basic requirement but reinforcement of the point never hurt anyone!
If you don’t know where to take your partner this weekend- a forest is always a good start; romantic walks, reflection in the lake and if you are lucky some other alfresco activities! (Robin Hood)
Prince charming breaks all the boundaries and dances with Sleeping Beauty in the forest, if you can gather some woodland creatures while you go- all the better! (they won’t know what they are looking at!)
Giving up your life for the one you love, is a lot to ask but offering to sacrifice an area of your life for your partner is a wonderful gesture! (Pocahontas)
The closest thing to sex Disney will ever portray- the palm to palm touch! Skin to skin contact- the best aphrodisiac! (Tarzan)
Dating sites will tell you that spaghetti bolognaise is the worst thing to eat on a first date as it gets all over your chin- but Lady and the Tramp defies this notion- and sharing food is always cute- so go on order what you want- if he loves you he won’t care that your face is a mess!
The Rescue- If you can save your man from death he will always look upon you favourably! And instead of a glass of water over the face to wake you up the gentle tones of a love song are more appealing! (The Little Mermaid)
Ah the old- I would rather die than live without you line! If being with your man means more to you than your life, the it’s pretty clear that they are the one! (Pocahontas)
A wet dip always get the blood racing as in The Princess and the Frog- it’s like Dirty dancing for the amphibian kind! Bring on the skinny dip!
A boat ride out onto a millpond under the light of the moon is a great nocturnal offering for couples who are struggling for date ideas! Just watch out for eels.(The Little Mermaid)
Show them your world- if you have penache for taming birds or swinging from tress take him on an adventure! Or Go Ape! (Tarzan)
Show your best magic trick- you may not be able to fly a magic carpet, but if you are a whiz with a pack of cards or can do the Spock separation of your fingers brag about it! (Aladdin)

Chinese lanterns are beautiful so if you can arrange them while in a rowing boat- ta dah!- Just avoid wooden areas! (Tangled)

Play fighting- because it can lead onto other stuff! Although Disney would never show Simba and Nala consummating their physical relationship we all know what comes after a good old rough and tumble! (are those bedroom eyes Nala??)
Both get your glad rags on a find a large room where you can dance and sweep around the floor in your long flowing yellow gown! (or whatever is in season) If a beast can dance so can you and your partner- so no excuses to get the steps wrong! (Beauty and the Beast)
