Order An In-Room Surprise

Is there a more magical way to begin your Disney vacation than with an in-room surprise? Guests of Disney resorts can place an order with In-Room Floral and Gifts which is Disney’s official in-room surprise supplier. Guests can choose a gift for any occasion with baskets containing plushies, Mickey ears, sweet treats, balloons, and more. Interested guests should place their order several weeks in advance of their vacation in order to ensure the gift is able to arrive on time.

Schedule A Wake Up Call

Did you know that you can get a call from Mickey or other Disney friends to wake you up in the morning? Guests staying at a Disney resort can use their resort phone to schedule a wake up call at whatever time is convenient for them. Follow the prompts over the phone to choose your character and message, and then wait for the call. Have your little one pick up the phone so they have a magical experience they won’t soon forget!

Reservations At Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique

Do you have a princess or prince in your family? A reservation at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Magic Kingdom is a great way to add additional magic to your vacation. This experience is for guests ages 3-12 and allows them to transform into the princess or prince of their dreams. Guests can choose from several different packages that range in price from $99.95 to $450.00. There are a variety of princess dresses or prince/knight costumes to choose from. Depending on the package chosen, your little one will have their hair styled, some light makeup, nail art, and pixie dust (glitter). After their transformation your little one will be able to take princess photos with a Photopass Photographer so you will be able to capture the memories forever.
