Best Grocery Delivery in Disney

2011-05-12T14:39:00.000-04:00

If you want the best grocery delivery in Disney then you want to check out Garden Grocer. They will deliver food, diapers, etc right to your resort or villa. You don't have to be staying at one of the Disney resorts to take advantage of this either. They deliver to most of central Florida. So if you are staying in a villa, suite, or rental home then place an order 36 hours before your arrival to save yourself lots of precious vacation time grocery shopping. Find out more details of this great service at Magical Memory Planners.

Happy Thanksgiving!

2010-11-25T08:00:00.001-05:00

I just want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. I am so thankful this year! Maybe more than most because I have a new sense of what is important and what I need. I am thankful that I am with everyone who is most important to me today and that I have everything I need. God has provided so much for us, especially in the last month and am truly thankful.

On a lighter note...if you are not one of the crazies (just kidding) who love to do Black Friday shopping at 4am in the cold then you might want to check out the Cyber Monday 2-day sale at Amazon.com on Sunday/Monday the 28th-29th. They will also have lots of hot holiday deals starting 11/30 and going right until 12/23 (for the last minute shoppers).

I hope you have a magical Thanksgiving with those you love.

Top 10 WDW Rides for Teenagers

2010-10-19T09:00:00.000-04:00

You may think Walt Disney World is only for kids but anyone who has been there will tell you there are lots of cool things for teenagers too. You just have to know what to do. There are more rides than this that they will like but these are the best.

1. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad - Magic Kingdom - Not the scariest roller coaster but a lot of fun anyway.

2. Splash Mountain - Magic Kingdom - This is a fun ride with lots of drops but the most impressive is the 5 story drop near the end. You will most likely get wet too!

3. Space Mountain - Magic Kingdom - This roller coaster is all inside, in the dark. That adds a new dimension.

4. Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin - Magic Kingdom - This is like going on a video game ride. You get to shoot with your laser gun and the ride will keep score for you.

5. Soarin' - The Land in Epcot - This ride gives you the feeling of hang gliding. Only Disney can bring the sights, sounds, and smells to life.

6. Mission Space - Epcot - This ride is not for the faint of heart. It is pretty wild. They actually have two versions if the more adventurous version is too much.

7. Rock N Roller Coaster - Hollywood Studios - There is nothing like 0-60 in 2.8 seconds while rocking to Aerosmith. We love this ride.

8. Tower of Terror - Hollywood Studios - Enter the twilight zone on this ride as you ride in the elevator and eventually drop 13 stories.

9. Dinosaur - Animal Kingdom - This is a very adventurous ride back in time.

10. Expedition Everest - Animal Kingdom - This is the newest roller coaster that will take you around Mount Everest as you escape from the Yeti.

I want to hear from the teenagers out there. What are your favorite rides? I know I didn't cover all the rides teenagers would love so I would love to hear what ones you think should have made the list.

Adventures By Disney 2011

2010-10-07T13:31:00.000-04:00

Did you know that the Magic of Disney can now be found around the world with Adventures by Disney? Many people don't know what Adventures by Disney trips are all about. Adventures by Disney are Guided Family vacations that will take you anywhere in the world. There are itineraries on 6 different continents so you can go just about anywhere.

These trips are different than other guided tours because they are designed for families with the Disney Difference. These memorable, VIP trips will give you outstanding accommodations, maximize your free time, and offer a personal focus on each guest from the 2 knowledgeable and Disney trained Adventure Guides.

Besides your Adventure Guides your family will learn about the culture from local experts such as artists, naturalists, historians, chefs and more. Besides group activities there are activities planned for both the adults and the Junior adventurers so everyone will have a memorable experience. Trips are recommended for children over 4 and some trips have more specific recommendations.

If you love the services and quality of a Disney vacation but don't have children then you will love one of the adult-only itineraries offered. This is perfect for honeymoons, young adults, as well as older people without children. Anyone ages 18-99 would have an awesome time.

Your trip cost will include most of your meals, luggage service, transfers, and all your tips (except for the adventure guides).

If you would like to take your family on a one of a kind vacation to Europe, Australia, China, South or Central America and more then request some information about Adventures By Disney. I just got in books, pamphlets and DVD's about all the exciting destinations for 2011. You can email me at allisons@fairytalejourneys.com or click the link below and I would be happy to send you some of these materials.

Online Check-In Service

2010-10-02T08:00:00.000-04:00

One of the great ways to help you get right to the magic is to use Disney's Online Check-In service. When you use this service you will find your check-in at the hotel to go quickly and easily. Upon arrival you will show your ID and a Cast Member will have a folder all ready for you so you can get right on to the magic.

Ten days before you leave home you can complete the online check in process in one of two ways. You can contact me (if I'm your travel agent) and I will complete the process for you or you can go to MyDisneyReservation.com and complete the process yourself.

You will need to know your reservation information and have a credit card to attach to your account for any charges you incur on your trip.

Take advantage of this service. It will speed things up when you arrive at your resort and help you get right to the magic.
