Hi there! I hope everyone has been enjoying my posts and tips on Disney! In my last post I wrote about how to save money on a Disney Vacation, and in this post I am going to share my opinions on what I feel is worth the EXTRA money!
1) Number one is by far the highest on my list of importance. The Memory Maker.
It is by far the best money you will spend all vacation (in my opinion.) For those of you who are in the beginning stages of planning your Disney trip and are not familiar with what the Memory Maker is, it is an incredible way to enjoy and capture picture worthy moments by professional photographers throughout the parks. It's almost like having a professional photographer at the snap of your fingers for the best shots! With photo locations throughout the parks, in select dining locations and on various rides, you can enjoy and share professional photos without having to ask a stranger to take the photo or having your arm in the "Selfie". Photos are conveniently connected to your online Disney account with the touch of your magic band or card. You can purchase it at any time but to save yourself $30 you should pre-purchase it at the price of $169. Ask your photographer if they have any Disney magic, and see cool effects added to your family photos!
2) Number 2 on my list is staying on Disney Property. Of course, now a days with airbnb and all the different hotel websites you can find accommodations for less money than what you'll spend on a Disney Resort, but staying on property is totally worth the extra money for many reasons! A few of them are:
-When staying on property you get to take advantage of the "Extra magic hours" which is when the park is closed to the public but open to Disney resort guests. Some days may be you get into a specific park earlier than the public and other nights the park stay open later for guests staying on property.
-Your magic band is complimentary!
-Free shuttle services to all Disney parks, resorts, and Disney Springs.
-Early access to booking your fast passes! (60 days before vs. 30 days)
-You can have your souvenirs sent directly to your room so you don't have to worry about lugging them around the park all day.
-Each resort will offer unique experiences/memories for you and your family! (Such as a giraffe right outside your window!)
3) Epcot International Food and Wine Festival!
For all the adults who love food and wine as much as they love Disney, then you wont want to miss this annual Food and Wine Festival that starts at the end of August and goes through November!
It is a spectacular celebration of Global foods, music, (that can be enjoyed by the whole family) and wine (that can be enjoyed by Mom & Dad). Cheese seminars, beverage seminars, cooking demonstrations & shows, it really is an event you wont want to miss! The festival its self is free, anyone can walk through the countries and enjoy the various cultures, but the food and beverages you can purchase throughout at different stands! Wear your stretchy pants ladies, cause I promise you, your hands will be full and so will your bellies!
4) Lastly on my list which can also be enjoyed in the Fall time, is tickets to Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween party. In Disney, it is against the rules for adults to dress up in costumes, EXECPT when you go to Mickeys Halloween party! Not only do you get to dress up, but you get to relive your childhood and trick or treat throughout the park and believe me.. they definitely don't give out the cheap candy! The event ticket costs $85.00 and is held in Magic Kingdom. For those traveling with children don't worry, the reason its called "Mickeys Not so Scary Halloween party" is because it is appropriate for all ages to enjoy! Trust me, I get scared very easily and I had a blast! The park is open later and you can't enter until 4pm, so you can spend your day relaxing by the pool or at another park. Enjoy the Halloween dance party, the Happy Hallo-wishes fireworks show and enjoy the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular hosted by the Sanderson Sisters from Hocus Pocus.
This completes my list of the top things I believe are truly worth the extra money in Disney World! I hope you get to experience and enjoy a few things on this list as much as I have.
