The Magic of a Disney World Vacation

On a recent trip to Disney World I grabbed the popular turkey leg and just sat on a bench to "people watch". Ask any Disney Cast Member and this is usually one of the "attractions" at the Disney Theme Parks. It helps you see what really happens to the guests during their days at the Disney Theme Parks. As I was sitting there I started thinking about growing up and visiting Disney World as a kid. I could remember many of my fun Disney World vacations with my family. I started thinking about favorite presents that I got growing up and I could not really think of any presents. In our lives the memories tend to be what we remember, not as much things. I could not remember a single present, but I could remember many great memories of my Disney World vacations growing up.

When thinking about a way to remember a birthday, consider a Disney World vacation instead of a party with presents. Make a birthday to remember with Mickey Mouse!

Celebrate Triumphs at Disney World

From the smallest victory to the greatest milestone, you can celebrate all of life’s accomplishments during your Disney World vacation. I recently booked a few Disney World vacations for May for some of our repeat guests. The big celebration for their vacation was graduation from High School. This was the last big celebration for this family before their oldest child headed off to college. It was a celebration for High School, but also a special vacation for the parents having their whole family together at Disney World. You can celebrate any special milestone from a graduation, a new job, passing a special class, or even competing in a marathon. At Disney World, you can celebrate any triumph! For special triumphs, you can get a button at your Disney Resort or at Guest Services at the front entrance to any of the Disney Theme Parks to celebrate your milestone.

Here are some other suggestions to make your milestone even more magical:

• Congratulations Gift Basket
  Disney Florists can customize a gift basket for any personal triumph, whatever it may be. Such as a Disney Marathon-inspired basket, brimming with fresh fruit, high-energy fruit and nut mix, Power Bars®, Powerade® and a keepsake frame for the finish-line photo.
• Dining to Mark Any Personal Triumph
  You can choose from a variety of Character Dining, Themed Dining or Signature Dining experiences to suit any mood or taste. A host of special customizations, such as personalized desserts, cakes and celebratory wines will be available in 2009 to mark the occasion.
