5. Fly above the resort in a hot air balloon

The Characters in Flight balloon offers guests a birds-eye view of the Walt Disney World Resort, floating into the skies from its tethered position in Downtown Disney's Village Lake. It was one of a spate of minor additions to Downtown Disney in 2009 following criticism that the closure of the Pleasure Island nightclubs had reduced the area's appeal. If your partner doesn't suffer from acrophobia, there are few more impressive settings for a proposal - particularly if you time your visit to coincide with the sun setting.

4. Go on a private IllumiNations cruise

If you want to propose during a fireworks display, but would prefer a nice, private setting, you can hire a private pontoon boat that will sail from the Yacht and Beach Club Marina or the Boardwalk Marina to the International Gateway bridge inside Epcot itself. The boats do not sit right next to each other, so you'll feel like you're having a private viewing of the spectacular Illuminations: Reflections of Earth show. Reservations can be made up to 180 days in advance by calling (407) WDW-PLAY.

3. Propose at Cinderella's Royal Table

There are few more romantic Disney movies than Cinderella, and it's possible that your partner grew up dreaming of one day meeting her own Prince Charming. Disney is happy to help you prove that you fit the bill, and offers a special Engagement Package at Cinderella's Royal Table. Located within the grand towers of Cinderella Castle, this ultra-unique dining experience (hands down the most expensive restaurant in the park for all three meals) places guests among Medieval architecture and their favorite Disney princesses. At just the right moment, a Cast Member will bring out a glass slipper (cradling the ring) on a bed of rose petals, allowing you to drop down on one knee and pop the question. A non-alcoholic celebratory drink (this is the Magic Kingdom, after all) and a dessert are thrown in for good measure, while a professional PhotoPass photographer will capture the moment. Of course, this is one to avoid if your partner doesn't like to make a scene!

2. Frame the perfect picture

Everybodythat visits Walt Disney World gets a picture of themselves in front of Cinderella Castle at the Magic Kingdom. And, indeed, there are few better backdrops for a photograph of your proposal. You can have a quiet word with a PhotoPass photographer and ask them to capture the special moment.

1. Say it with flowers

Whether you have the budget to book a savanna-view room at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, or just a simple room at a Value Resort, some partners will simply prefer a nice, quiet, private proposal in the comfort of your own room. To make the moment extra special, you can arrange for a bouquet of her favorite flowers to be waiting for her by calling Disney Floral and Gifts on (407) 939-4438.

My now-husband proposed in front of my favorite ride, The Tower of Terror! It made such a great memory - my favorite ride is even more special now. Plus, taking the plunge has a whole new meaning!

How do you arrange for one of those elaborate proposals you see on YouTube where the cast members will join in song and dance? The one that comes to mind that's my favorite is this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpojZ0COU3Y
