Be Our Guest


Delight Little Diners with Their Favorite Characters

Throughout the four theme parks and numerous resort hotels that comprise Walt Disney World you will find many opportunities for fabulous food and character interactions. No matter your cuisine preference, I can find a character dining experience to fit your needs. The following are a few of our family favorites!
  • Cinderella's Royal Table- Magic Kingdom
  • The Crystal Palace- Magic Kingdom
  • Hollywood and Vine- Disney's Hollywood Studios
  • Chef Mickey's- Disney's Contemporary Resort
  • 1900 Park Fare- The Grand Floridian
Make sure to bring a camera to capture the smiles! Reservations for Character Dining are recommended and can be booked up to 180 days in advance.

*Time Saver Tip #3: Skip the early parade and hit the busiest rides while the masses are watching the parade.

Holiday Specials at Disney World

Never spent the holiday season at Walt Disney World? You're missing out on a great time of year! 



Beginning in late November and continuing through the new year all four of the Disney World Theme Parks are decorated to the hilt. Guests will enjoy 40' Christmas trees in each of the parks as well as resort hotel lobbies. A life size gingerbread house at The Grand Floridian Resort looks good enough to eat. At Disney's Hollywood Studios, The Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights boasts a display of over 4,000,000 twinkling lights. Attend Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party to enjoy a special holiday parade on Main Street USA complete with hot cocoa, cookies and "snowfall".

In addition to all of the holiday fanfare, crowds are at their smallest and packages are the most affordable between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Vacation packages booked between September 30, 2012 and October 31, 2012 are eligible for a special rate of up to 30% off resort hotels. Contact me today to book your ~~*Magical Holiday Vacation*~~

*Time Saver Tip #6: Visiting Epcot's World Showcase? When Arriving at opening time approach World Showcase from left to right rather than right to left.
