What will you celebrate? |
With so many celebrations coming up over the next 12 months
it’s hard to know just what to do to make each and every one as special as
possible. Throw in a trip to Walt Disney World on the horizon and all of a
sudden the celebration possibilities, layered in pixie dust become ever so
appealing. Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, anything you can think of,
you don’t have to be in the park on the actual day – for most of us that would
be impossible (though we can dream right?) but choosing a vacation day, or even
just a special meal during your trip, you can celebrate the upcoming (or already
passed) event!
Top 5 ways to
celebrate at Walt Disney World
1. Photopass Products!
From mugs to seasonal decorations and the luxury photo books,
you can turn all of your holiday snaps, including photopass and personal taken
shots, into some fantastic gifts! They’re the perfect way to showcase your
magical memories and make fantastic gifts for guests of all ages. My personal favorite
is the photo book! I love the embossed hardback covers and glossy paper, they
look super professional and are very
easy to make online!
2. Have your cake and
eat it!

You can order specialty cakes through the Disney bakery to
be delivered right to your table at any sit down dining location. If you
choose, you can also have it delivered to you as in room dining at any Walt
Disney World Resort. Having them delivered towards the end of your meal is
fantastic though, especially if it’s for a birthday! The lights go down, the
music starts to play and the whole restaurant bursts into song and applause
just for the birthday guest! Specialty cakes need to be ordered at least 48
hours in advance but if your feeling a little spontaneous, let your server know
as you check in and then can offer you a selection of on-hand treats to be
brought out in the same manner!
3. Disney Floral and
Gifts!
If they don’t have a way to celebrate it then it’s not worth
celebrating! Every time I venture over to their site I spend hours ‘oooing’ and
‘ahhing’ over all the pretty gift baskets and floral arrangements. Imagine
after you check into your resort, you find your room, open the door and there on the bed is a gift basket of all
kinds of goodies from Mickey and the gang. They have some great ‘first visit’
goodie bags for adults and kids, and even some DVC exclusive gifts.
4. Take a tour!
Walt Disney World offer some amazing tours (I heartily
reccomed ‘Keys to the Kingdom’) that offer guests a very different view of the
parks. Insights into Imagineering, history, guest tales, access to the infamous
Utiladors to see what makes Magic Kingdom tick, there is something for everyone
(note, some tours do have an age restriction, especially ones that go
backstage). Imagine taking in Epcot on a Segway before any other guests enter
the park, or taking an African adventure through the savannah? That’s one celebration treat you’re
going to remember for a lifetime!
5. Bag a Button!
We all love a freebie! Call at your resorts concierge desk
or pop into Guest Services at any Walt Disney World park and ask them about their
celebration buttons/badges. They’ll give you the button appropriate to your
celebration and even personalize it for you! Wear it with pride for a day, or
every day of your trip if you want to! I’ve had a few of these in the past and
have received so many well wishes from Castmembers and even other guests! I
even received a few free fast passes and some trading pins!
There are so many ways to celebrate on every budget! Check
out the official Walt Disney World celebrations page for even more ideas.
