Hi, Jeremy!
Any chance to add a day on to a magical Walt Disney World vacation is a beautiful thing! Years ago, you used to be able to pick up your
Magic Your Way package tickets prior to your Resort check-in day. I have spoken with two different Cast Members this morning who have said that this is no longer an option when tickets are purchased as part of a package. The tickets will not be valid until the day you check-in. You will; however, be able to check in to Disney's Pop Century Resort as early as 7:00 a.m on Sunday to pick up your tickets! Keep in mind that your room may not be ready until 3:00 p.m.
As for adding some fun to your Saturday night, I have a couple of suggestions for you that will not require a Park ticket! We always like to spend a little time in the
Downtown Disney area at some point during our vacation to peruse the awesome shops. There are so many different stores there and one in particular that will get you feeling all magical is the World of Disney! Another favorite of mine is to visit the
Beaches & Cream Soda Shop located right in between Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Resorts. They have the most fabulous ice-cream sundaes there along with a great menu for dinner! From the sandy shores of this Resort, you can see some of
Illuminations: Reflections of Earth, an amazing display of fireworks. You'll definitely want to watch this again from inside Epcot at another point during your vacation.
I hope my suggestions work for you and your family, Jeremy! Please feel free to stop back by if you have any other questions we can help you with!
Have a Pixie Dusted vacation!
