Disney World Experiences That Feel Like An Upgrade

A Disney World vacation is an experience that can be catered to everyone’s individual needs. Families have options for their Disney vacations. If you prefer something more low-key you can choose a value or moderate resort. If you want to feel a bit more luxurious, staying DVC or deluxe can make that feeling a reality. There are certain experiences that you can enjoy during your Disney trip that will make you feel as if your vacation has been upgraded. Some of these things come at an additional cost, while others are free or included. Here are some of our favorites.

Staying DVC

Staying DVC is the easiest way to make your vacation feel like an upgrade. By staying at DVC resorts you are experiencing deluxe accommodations, and by booking through sites like DVC Shop you are experiencing this at moderate prices. DVC resorts have villas that are one, two, or even three-bedrooms. They are large rooms where extended family can stay together, or guests can enjoy additional space for their family. These resorts have stunning pools, great dining, and some have premium transportation options like those on the monorail line.

Dining During Fireworks

By booking a dining reservation during the Magic Kingdom’s fireworks show, you can view this stunning nighttime spectacular from a distance while enjoying your meal. This is a great way to feel like you are experiencing a premium service for the same price as the meal would cost during any other time. Restaurants where you can view the fireworks include Ohana, California Grill, and Narcoossee’s.

Booking a Tour

There are several tours and Enchanting Extras that you can book to make your trip feel a bit more premium. Popular tours include “Behind the Seeds” where guests get to go backstage at Living with the Land. Another is “Marceline to Magic Kingdom” which gives guests an inside look into Magic Kingdom’s attractions like the Haunted Mansion. Caring for Giants is another experience that guests love, where Animal Kingdom fans can see elephants up close. Another animal experience is Wild Africa Trek where guests get to explore Animal Kingdom like never before.

Enjoying a Spa Service

Certain resorts like Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort are home to full-service spas. By booking a spa service like facials, massage, manicures, pedicures, body wraps, and more, guests can really feel as if they’ve upgraded their vacation in the best and most relaxing way possible.

Taking Food To-Go Back to Your Room

One small way to make your vacation feel luxurious without breaking the bank is by taking your food to-go at your resort’s restaurant and eating it back at your room. There’s nothing more relaxing than putting your feet up and eating in bed at the end of a long day at the parks!
